Dun,s Weekly Review

New York, July 29.-R. c. Dunn & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say
 There IS no lack of evidence that the business situation is much better than the recent depression in Wall street would indicate. notable improvement in busi- ness confidence took place in the latter part of the week, due to recovery in se- curity prices to advices that much-needed rains were falling in crop sections and to the excellent quarterly report of the lead ing steel producer.
 That conditions in the iron and steel trade during recent months have been more satisfactory than generally believed is evidenced by the report of the United States Steel corporation for the second quarter.
 Production is at a fair rate and reports of cancellations are not borne out by facts. Business is rather brisk in steel bars and the minimum price is $1 .45 Pitts burg Shading continues in sheet prod ucts of from g to 4 a ton, while tin plate is firm. and there is no sign of abatement of activity in this direction.
 Buyers are more numerous in the pri- mary dry goods markets and trading is slightly more active for staple prints, export fabrics are in better call with values held steadier.
 Sales at Fall River were equal to a full weeks output for the first time in number of weeks and trading is quite general In all lines of odd goods. Mems wear for spring and dress goods have been opened by a large corporation Or ders on plain staple worsteds increased steadily. Conservative purchases were noted only. Silks in fancy weaves and in the gray for converting purposes fell steadily.
 Shoe buyers still operate conservative ly. Footwear values are again about 21s per cent lower at all around. There is no snap to the leather trading. The demand is more steady than a month ago. Large buyers are said to be short of supplies and though they operate more or less from hand to monuth. appear de- sirous for immediate shipments
 Further clearance sales by large Chi cago packers of back salting hides at about the prices accepted on previous large sales have served to impart a. much better tone to the domestic hide market.

MIDSUMMER QUIET
 IN GENERAL TRADE Some Lines Are Less Active
 Than Last Week PIG IRON MARKET EASY Finished Iron and Steel Products Are More in Demand and Some Makers of Cotton Goods Are More
 Active
PIG IRON MARKET EASY
New York. July 2e.-Bradstreets tomor-

New York, July 29.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 Trade is still quiet as a whole, more SO, indeed, in some lines than was the case last week and quieter even than ordina- rily at this midsummer period. Among the industries, features are the rather better reports as to demand for finished iron and steel, copper and some makes of cotton goods, based apparent ly on the advance in raw materials and in raw wool.
 Pig iron remains very quiet and prices are still easy; in fact, lower figures have been named in some instances. Curtail- ment of output does not appear to have gone far enough to buoy quotations, and indeed it is said that stocks are &C., cumulating at some points.

SWEET POTATOES
 HERE FROM PULLMAN Specimens Were of the Finest
 Variety THE TRADE IS NORMAL Additional WatermelOns and Peaches Arrive and Steadier Market Follows Breaking of Glutted Condition
 Recently Prevailing
THE TRADE IS NORMAL

A fine lot of new sweet potatoes from the Cullman district was the chief re- ceipts yesterday on Morris avenue. Ine supply received was not large, but the specimens were of the finest variety, and sales are expected to be large. Ine wholesale merchants have no competi- ton from the peddlers of local home grown products in this product, and the sweet potatoes should figure largely in trade.
 Additional watermelons and peaches were also received yesterday and a steader market in both products has fol- lowed the breaking of the glutted condl- ton which has prevailed.
 No changes of note were recorded in general quotations yesterday and trade was normal,

LEXINGTON SHERIFF REPORTS.
Newberry Sheriff Says He Has Made
None, But Will Do So if Called
Upon.

It was stated in the press dispatches
from Columbia and published in the
Sunday papers that Governor Ansel
would give out no statement in re-
gard to the lynching which unfortu-
nately took place in Newberry county
until he had received report from the
sheriff.
The Herald and News yesterday sent
a representative to Sheriff Ruford to
ask if he had made any report, and the
sheriff said that he had made no report
but would do so if called upon. He
said he thought the Lexington sherln
has to make the report.

Two Newberry cars went to the
scene, that of Mr.. Robert Norris, con-
tanning Driver W. C. Waldrop, Con-
stable Cannon G. Blease, Policeman T.
,. Adams, and Mr. White FAINT, and
Mr.. Forrest Summers car, driven by
Mr. Summer and containing Sheriff
Buford, Deputy Sheriff Pope Buford,
and Mr.. W. J. Swittenberg. AS stated
there were several officers who came
in two Lexington machines. Mr..
Waldrop's machine was first to reach
the scene.
It is doubtful if any number Of Of
hcers or any number Of militia, if
there had been time to get the militia
there, could have prevented the lynch
ing. The officers were there to do
their duty but to prevent the lynching
was beyond their power.
The road leading up to the home Of
the victim was lined with carriages,
automobiles and buggies, and many
saddled horses stood around. There
we're weapons of every conceivable de-
scription.
