brief interval that he tarried at Oys-

names-native villages in the African
jungle that no one had heard of be-

Since he emerged from Africa the
former President has been hurrying
homeward by easy stages. He has left
a trail of excitement behind him ev-
erywhere in the staid Old World. Even
the German Kaiser, when he was run
ming in his best form, never came
within a block of him. In Egypt Col.
Roosevelt told the British and the
Egyptians a few startling things. In
Rome he and the Pope turned their
backs on each other. His enthusiastic
desire to set people right, according
to his own personal views, did not
make such a stir in France or Hol
land or Germany, but it reached its
climax in England, where he hoarsely
told the big British Empire just
where to head in" In New York and
in America generally innumerable
people either have been figuratively on
tiptoe or else have their ears to the
ground trying to figure out in adj
vance Just what game the mighty
hunter will go after now that he is on
his native shore.
New YorlS's Demonstration.
The German steamer, with Mr..
Roosevelt and party aboard, was met
at quarantine by the revenue cutter
Androscoggin, carrying the committee
of 300, and by three other boats, with
distinguished welcomers aboard. Hun
dreds of other vessels carrying thou
sands of sightseers joined in the well
come and then falling in line the ma
val parade proceeded up the Hudson
River to 59th street and then back to
the Battery, where at IL o'clock Mr..
Roosevelt and those invited to attend
the subsequent exercises disembark.
After these exercises a land parade
formed, Col. Roosevelt riding in the
first carriage, and proceeded to seth
street, where it was dismissed. This
procession was made up of distin-
guished glests in carriages, a large
force of mounted police, civil war vet.
Grams, Spanish war veterans, Rough
Riders and various civilian and uni
formed organizations. Along 5th ave-
r,a for two miles organizations were
lined up on both sides and between
these living walls Col. Roosevelt rode
in a blaze of glory. Hundreds of thou
sands of people came to New York
from places as far west as Pittsburg
and Buffalo, while many were there
from points in the Middle West and
Far West.

CHICAGO.

r. G. Dun G. Co.'S weekly review Of
Chicago trade says:
While the volume of payments
through the banks presents another
unfavorable comparison, the record of
trading defaults makes a good exhibit
and business generally settles down to
the calm usually preceding the har-
vests. The notable improvement this
week was the warm weather and its
immediate salutary effect upon the
leading retail lines here and at the
interior. Seasonable goods have been
urgently bought and stocks of APP
parel and other merchandise now I'M
dergo gratifying reductions. Heavy
movements also appear in grain, hides,
lumber and factory outputs
country merchants express conf
dence In prospects of large sales in
the fall and purchase literally. The
only drawback is uncertainty as to
probable course of prices for the tex
tiles. The attendance of buyers here
compares favorably with this time last
year.
Mail and road orders equal expec-
tations in dry goods. clothing. millin-
cry. mems and house furnishings.
Rates for commercial paper show
no change, but money bears an easier
feeling and deposits increase moder-
ately. The markets for bonds and local
securities reflect conservative invest
ment. and there is also a smaller vol
ume of new building permits.
