Dun,s Weekly Review

New York, July 15.-R. G. Dun X Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorr row will say:
 Business in all it's branches waits on the outcome of the years crops. In the meantime the leading industries are experiencing something more than the customary midsummer dullness and curtailment of production. and price concessions since continue. There is, however, an improved demand for foot wear. The hot weather has helped the distribution of merchandise in some lines and retarded il in others. Retail trade as pointed out by one of the largest mercantile houses in the Unit ed States is much better than whole sale trade which has been largely de- moralized by the price situation. This Indicates fair consumption of mer- chandise making for sound conditions at the bottom.
 With the advent of fall a general awak ening of interest is looked for In iron and steel.
 Production of pig iron continues at good rate but uncertainty as to prices is deterrent element and accumu- lating stocks lave had a depressing effect. Advices from the Pittsburg district indicate that the railroads are | forms of equipment and are expected to enter the markets before long. while in some directions the structural trade gives promise of a good future busi- ness Iron bars are only fairly active and prices are not firm but steel bars continue in good demand. The outlook as regards the fuel situation has slightly improved and there has been some contracting for the last half at an advance of 10 to cents over quotations for spot cotton.
 Dry goods are coming to the primary markets more freely. High cotton and low priced goods still force a very material curtailment of production. Some export trade was booked for China and Red Sea delivery at values based on 12-cent cotton and miscel- laneous export trade holds steady. The opening of mems wear lines for spring are under way and the leading pro- ducers will show their new sty<es next week. The strike of garment work CTS
 mpedes dress goods deliveries to sell- CTS. A better tone in silk markets, where spring orders for foulards are already being placed by southern job bers and where many orders for satins for the fall, are. coming in more free ly. A quota of buyers are in tn, Bos- ton market and many of them have contributed to the recent better trade in footwear by placing good fall or ders.
 Lower prices were accepted on late sales. Leather continues generally slow.

Race at Boston.

Boston. Sept. e-There were genuine
groans Of regret from the Boston admir-
ers Of Claude Grahame White. at the
Squantum aviation meet. when the Eng
fish aviator smashed his Farman machine
while attempting TO make a landing a
few minutes before the flights for the
day came TO an end this evening.
The aviator escaped uninjured. but his
propeller was hopelessly smashed, the
chassis badly wrecked. and the upper
and lower right wings and ailerons were
crumpled up.
There was story blowing along in the
busy hangers to the effect that many
airmen believe the international aviation
meet scheduled for Belmont Park the
last weeks OF next month will not be an
International meet at all.
The reason given by the aviators and
other members Of the aero clubs Of Amer
Tea, none Of whom wished 10 be quoted
by name. Is that a faction. they say. has
grown up within the aero clubs Of Amer
lea itself which is running things so much
in its own way that the rest of the avia-
ton promoters are at loggerheads with
the faction Consequently, so one prom
inent members Of the Aero Club Of Amer
lea, said to-day the organization may
withhold its sanction Of the international
cup race az the Belmont Park meet. Il is
claimed that if tpis action is taken the
foreign aviators will think twice before
competing at the meet with the one
event that makes the meet an interna-
tiOnal one lacking, and that the meet,
therefore, will fall far below expecta-
tons

BOWERS DEATH SHOCKS
DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS

Information that Solicitor General Lloyd
W. Bowers had died in Boston reached
the Department of Justice here shortly
after noon yesterday. The news caused a
distinct shock to the few officials here.
for Mr. Bowers left in apparently good
health.
According to friends OF the administra-
ton. there is not the slightest doubt that
President Taft intended 70 put Mr. Bow
ers on the Supreme Court bench. It was
intimated in high quarters that the Presl-
dent probably would have made Mr.
Bowers Chief Justice. succeeding the late
Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller.
Although there has been a lot Of talk
about the Presidents appointment OF Gov
Hughes as Chief Justice in some quarters
it was said that In reality Mr.. Bowers
and not the governor, would have been
given this high honor.
The President is said TO have declared
70 friends when he learned of Mr.. Bowers
desperate illness. He was one Of the
very best lawyers in the country, and one
OF the best men"
