RAIL ORDERS IMPROVE

New York, June a.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Trade, crop and industrial conditions are of a variable character with the gen. eral appearance one of quiet, though evidences of good feeling hitherto noted are still to be met. Warm, bright wealth CT continues to favor retail trade, which also feels the stimulus of price reduc- tions. Jobbing trade is of between seasons character and mid-year sales of spring and summer fabrics furnish the chief occupation. Really large business still feels the effects of crop uncertainty and tariff discussion As to tariff mat ters the belief is growing that radical legislation is not likely, but uncertainty here is naturally a bar to fullest &C., tivity in distanst future trade,
 In leading industries changes are few Price reductions have not brought out much new business in steel products and a waiting policy still prevails. Produc- ton of pig iron declined in May and as a general proposition the market is even less active than heretofore. There has been some buying of steel bars and or ders for steel rails have improved. Short time is still the leading feature in the textile trades.
 Leather is quieter after the spell of buying induced by the recent advance in prices Shoe manufacturing Is not active, except for speeialties. The build ing trades and material lines catering thereto are quiet.
 Collections are trife better at some centers, where retail trade has been helped by summer demand and clear ance sales, but are not better than fair in most sections.

LAWYER OBJECTS IN "STEEL TRUST"
 INVESTIGATION
CONTINUED FROM PAGE D

 United States Steel corporation and an acknowledgment that the Steel companies before that organization councilled with the railroads as to the price of steel rails, marked the testimony of James Gayley, vice president of the corporation, and an officer of the Carnegie concern for many years.
 MT Gayley said such understandings with the railroads were necessary to prevent a monopoly in the steel bus mess and denied that Mir Carnegie as charged by John W. Gates had held up'' J. Pierpont Morgan and in so do- Ing had forced steel manufacturers to combine.
 MT Gayley, whom MT. Gary told the committee was a practical steel man, gave informa tion on many technical matters relating to the steel business. Mr. Gayley formerly was in the Cor negic Steel company.
 MT. Gayley, questioned by Represen- tative Young of Michigan, gave the his- tory of the Carnegie Steel company from 1885 to 1901, when the Steel cor pt ration was formed. He mentioned periods of destructive competition" and described new methods of manu- featuring steel, dwelling upon their eff feet in advancing the values of steel properties.
 Asked as to the price of rails in the early period, MT. Gayley declared that the price usually was fixed in confer ence with railroad officials, chiefly those of the Pennsylvania railroad.

Price Agreement

Were there any agreements as to prices in those days?" asked Mir. Young.
 "In those days all the steel com panies were independent" said MT Gay ley "and there were periods of war so destructive that agreements were necessary for all to recoup. Then would come another destructive war. Agree uents were necessary from time to time or ultimately one company would have secured a monopoly of the busi- ness"
 Mir. Gayley said he had no personal knowledge that Andrew Carnegie had threatened to build tube mill at Con- neaut, Ohio, for the purpose of fore ing the Morgan interests to buy out the plant as charged by MT. Gates.
 The Carnegie company had purchased land at Conneaut, he said, for the loca- tion of new plant, but it was not de- termined whether a tube works or wire mill would be erected. The purpose of building, he said, would have been to furnish an outlet for the steel of the Car negie works near Pittsburg, which steel had formerly been taken by the National Tube company, a Morgan enterprise.
 There has been statement or a rumor," said Representative Young of Michigan, that MT. Carnegie's proposal to build a tube mill was not in good faith, that 1t was really a threat to aid him in acquiring other property or to force others to buy him out Do you know the facts?"
 "There was no proposal to anyone" MT. Gayley said. "and there was certainly no threat to build a tube mill. The Car negie company went ahead to carry out plans 1t had determined upon, but it had never been decided whether tube mill or a wire mill would be constructed"
 Mir Gayley was asked if any additions had been made to the Carnegie Steel company's property after 1t had been ap- praised at a bank at a value of $76000, 900. and before it was sold to the Steel cor poration for nearly $500, ,000,000.
 "The company was always building and expanding it's works and acquiring more property" he replied.
 Percival Roberts, Jr.. director of the United States Steel corporation. was a witness before the committee after the noon adjournment.

Sportsmen, Save Your Game Heads.

The season for deer hunting is near
at hand. Hundreds of nice heads are
spoiled every year by ignorance and
careless handling. A skin for mount
ing should never be cut on the throat
or neck. Stick your deer under the
fore leg just in front of the heart.
Start to skin directly between the
ears. Cut down on the top of the neck
to the shoulders, bang very careful
to keep in center of neck. Cut
around neck we'll down to forelegs.
| Be sure to get the skin long enough.
! Skin up to the base of the skull, cut
| off the ears and neck from the head.
! Be sure to salt every part Of the skin
and fill mouth, eyes and all bullet
holes with plenty Of salt. Scrape all
blood out of the hair and salt all bloody
places. Get it to your taxidermist as
soon as possible Heads soon spoil.
Save your nice heads if horns are
poor, as any large taxidermist will
buy them for the skin. 1t will fl
some other fellow. Don't throw
; away nice head, they are worth
saving.
