liked in this city. He was known
as an expert copper handler. In May,
1910, he took steps to better HIM
self by leaving the American Smelt-
ing and Refining Company to go
with an English mining company.

PARDEE LAND
Is NECESSARY
City Officials Confer About
conyery Place Matter.

Charles III. Edwards, representa-
tive from the c.. Pardee Works, met
with the street committee of the
Board of Aldermen last night in the
law offices of City Attorney G. G..
Hommann and talked over plans for
the extension of Convery place, the
erection Of the much talked about
Conyery place bridge and other mat
ters pertaining to that Improvement.
Alderman-at-Large William D. Voor-
hees and Mayor Albert Bollschweiler
were also present.
In speaking of the sale OF the
company's property In that section,
thoroughfare, Mr.. Edwards inquired
relative to the amount of assessment
the company would be forced to pay
IL the improvement becomes reali-
fty. He was informed that this ques-
tion would be decided by the assess
ment commissioners, but In all prob
ability IL the company sold the land
to the city at market value, the ap-
portionment would be the same as
paid by the private taxpayers; but
II the Pardee company decides to
transfer the land to the city at a
nominal cnarge 1t Is very likely the
assessment would be corresponding
lily small.
Mr.. Edwards declined to make
any decision but will confer with the
company's officials Immediately and
report to the street committee by
Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
Mr.. Voorhees,, In speaking Of the
meeting, said today that the plan for
the extension will undoubtedly be
carried through within a very short
time and the residents In that sec
tion given the much desired I'M
proyement In the quickest possible
time.
Under present conditions resi-
dents between Stanford street west
to the city line find 1t impossible to
cross to Smith street owing to the
tracks of the Lehigh Valley railroad
unless they tourney a considerable
distance out of their way to Stan
ford street or the city line. The ex-
tension OF Convery place win oblit-
crate this difficulty.

Rebels Defeat Loyalists.

Hankow, China Oct. 2I.-The gov
eminent troops have retreated to Sev-
enty Mile Creek. beyond the Hankow
fluvial station. The revolutionists
claim a great victory. The Chinese
warships have retreated down the
river out Of sight of the settlement,
which is quiet
When the fighting ceased the revolu-
tionists took up strong position. Re
endorsements arrived and force fully
5000 strong cautiously commenced
an advance on the imperial encamp-
ment, burning hundreds of huts In fear
of ambush
The loyalist infantry made faint
show of resistance, while the imperial
gunboats threw few shells ineffec-
lively. The shots from the warships
fell wide of the mark and failed to
dislodge a rebel field gun which had
been made the special object Of attack.
When the republican scouts reached
the imperial camp they found 1t de-
serted, but suspicious OF ruse volIey-
ed In all directions. Then the main
body entered, waving banners and
shouting IN jubilation The loyalist
evacuation was so hurried that many
tents and six carloads OF baggage and
ammunition were abandoned
The rebel army is now intrenched In
the camp, which is three miles from
Hankow. The loyalists have halted
seven miles further north, where they
are awaiting re-enforcements.

Picking, Oct. 21 General Kin Chang
is temporarily estnbisstc.ns hsaduuar-
ters OF Sing Yang Chow preparatory
to a move southwark. The theory ls
that the rebels who attacked the i'm
perial camp at Hankow were not the
main body, but were employed to
make felnt while the stronger force
made wide detour In order to cut
the railway behind. The government
forces have captured the town of siao
Kin on the railway, about thirty miles
north of Hankow.
Consular dispatches from Yunan say
that there are persistent rumors of dis
affection among the troops. A strong
belief prevails that serious defeat of
the government troops will mean that
the country VIII fall ripe into the
rebels hands.

Bradstreet's Report

New York, July 21.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 While trade sentiment Is rather more cheerful, based upon the improvement in crop prospects caused by rainfalls in sections badly in need of moisture, actual business at wholesale has been and Is still rather slow to expand For this, conservatism as to the fall out look, some price uncertainties. as in cotton goods where sharp declines in raw material have brought about re- visions in the dry goods markets, tar if uncertainties and the desire to ob- tain a clearer view of crop out turn, are all held contributory
 Retail trade has largely been con- fined to clearance sales of summer goods, but the results here have not been uniformly satisfactory, owing to variable weather conditions and the restricted buying power of many con- sumers. Perhaps the most uniformly favorable reports as to trade coming from the south. where bumper crop prospects stimulate a fair degree of confidence and from points of the southwest, where the passing of tho seasons long drouth has improved sen- timent. Collections range from slow to fair, In industry the most cheerfully situated lines continue to be iron and steel which is moving quite satisfac- torily Machinery and coal trades hold the slight improvement noted last week. The cotton goods industry has been temporarily unsettled by the sharp decline in cotton, which Is re- flected in lower asking prices for some kinds of cotton goods. In woolen goods the feature has been the opening of many lines of mems wear woolens at
 lower prices New business is not marked as yet in this or in dress goods, however.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending July 20 were 30e Against 196 last week, 215 In the like week of 1910; 239 in 1909; 2s3 in 1908 and f55 in 1907. .--..
 Business failures in Canada for the week number 29, which compa res with 22 last week end 32 in the same week of 1910 ..
 Wheat, including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending July 20, aggregate 1,e7G.. 505 bushels, against 1,801,0 last week and 1,047,247 this week last year For the three weeks ending July 20, exports are 4,S24S63 bushels. against 3.S01,270 in the corresponding period of last year.
 Corn exports for the week are 534,- l 521 bushels against S9S,39l last week 1 and 210,S11 in 1910. For the three weeks ending July 20 corn exports are 1 2,f1S,929 bushels against 9S2,64O last year.

TRADE QUIET BUT CONDITIONS SOUND Dun and Bradstreet Make
 Weekly Report ACTIVITY IN IRON Progress in Iron and Steel Augurs We'll for Future-Mill Opera
 tions Broadening-Cotton
 Goods Cut

New York, July 21.-R. c. Dun & Co., s
 review of trade tomorrow will say: Trade continues quiet, but conditions are essentially sound. Better weather throughout the crop area has largely re- lieved the apprehension about the staple crops and lower temperatures in the large cities lave helped general business espe- eally retail lines.
 Progress in iron and steel augurs well for the future. While Improvement is no: pronounced consumers are more disposed to cover requirements, and mill operations are steadily broadening. Evidence of the increasing demand is furnished by the placing of orders for about 100000 tons of steel products for early shipments with a western subsidiary of the leading in- terest. the greater portion of these book ings comprising rails and track fasten- ings. The volume of structural shapes, plates and bars included in the contracts was also considerable. In finished lines | conditions make a more favorable show ing at Chicago than in the Pittsburg dis | trict, where the plants are estimated to be working at between 60 and 65 per cent ol lu1 capacity W]In dcliNllS SOhHIicu raainlv to the sheet division. There is better demand for sheets, tin plates and | steel bars Structural work is being pushed with greater vgor at the west. | Further expansion appears in the demand for pig iron in some sections.
 Selling agents in the cotton goods mar ket have cut prices on goods to stimulate the movement in all accumulations of odd lots A drastic revision In bleached cot ton, following the removal of restrictions on staple prints adds to the uncertainty. Export trade is still favorable and stocks are relatively light. Dress goods and mems wear merchants are about opening their new spring lines and prices gener- ally show considerable reduction, but buyers are not ready to proceed at the rev quotations and most of them are ordering sample pieces only on very tri fling iliIng-in supplies.
 Conservatism is displayed by whole s3lers in the footwear markets, although the movement Is expected to increase as buyers are quite numerous in the Boston market Leather is a, little moro active. Prices are very strong and the lack of large sales is partly due to the disinclina- ton of tanners to sell much ahead of cur rent receipts.
 Packer hides show some signs of weak ness, but no quota ble declines of account are recorded. Country hides are easy but unchanged while the foreign markets continue firm.

London July liking George has given Premier Asquith his promise to appoint as many new peers as will be neces- sary to pass the veto bill. This was an nounced this afternoon by the premier in a letter addressed to A. J. Balfour and read at caucus of unionist peers.
 A prolonged discussion followed the reading of the letter but no final de- cision was reached pending the premier s statement in the house of commons Mon- day.
 The caucus indorsed Lord Lansdowne' $ attitude of yesterday that the unionis' would yield only to superior force; in other words, would pass the veto bill SC soon as they were now satisfied that Asquith possessed the necessary g11aran- tees, rather than compel the government to make use of the royal prerogative to create oarons' xAs1aA&sas
