anime the Trade
Situation.

New York; G. Dun & Co.'S week
ly review of trade said:
Signs of improvement continue to
multiply. The market bettement in
the condition of the money and in
vestments markets has served to in
spire greater confidence IN the indus
tries and trades, and especially the
iron and steel industry, in which there
are unmistakabIe proofs Of expanding
interest and activity, particularly in
finished products.
In Iron and Steel.
Each succeeding week brings forth
new evidences of expansion in iron
and steel. with the latest statement
of the leading interest showing sub
stantial increase in untitled orders on
hands.
Finished material markets still make
the best exhibit, but even in pig iron,
where the contraction in business has
been most pronounced, distinct signs
of improvement are noted. Tin plate
and wire are especially active, with
most mills booked six months ahead
and in the rail markets heavy de.
mand from the transporting COM
panies is reported.
Footwear Steady.
There is practically no change in
the footwear conditions. The mar
lIets in hide and leather show consid.
eTably less activity than previously.
Lower raw material has caused ease
in some lines of cotton goods in the
primary markets, but brown drills and
sheetings hold steadier than print
cloth yarn fabrics and the mills are
increasing cIlrtailmenIt steadily
The trading in dress goods and
mems wear for fall is along conserw-
ative lines, but prospects now are that
the mills will secure a very fair bust
ness before the fall selling season is
over. Certain lines of silks are in
steady active call. The yarn markets
are quiet.

made to form considerations Of some

republics, but the attempts were new
er successful
The state department does not an
Iticipate the probability at the present
time of the formation of an actual po-
litlcal federation of the South Ameri-

that any movement in that direction
is principally aimed to counterfeit the
growing influence of the United States
in the political affairs of South Amer
lea, an influence which is steadily
growing and which is known to be
extremely distasteful 10 the people of
the Latin-American republics of South

LEGISLATIVE AFTERMATH.

The question of good roads will
form great part of the discussion
by political orators during the next
campaign. The last assembly took a
decided forward stand and, in fact,
what many claim is too much" for
ward. The intent Of the assembly was
to provide for an expenditure on the
roads of Colorado during the next ten
years of over thirty-one million dol
lars. The amount TO be secured from
the internal Improvement fund and
from county and state bonded in
debtedness. The greater part of the
intended amount must be passed upon
by the people as constitutional amend
ments.
The manner of providing for the
thirty-one million dollars expenditure
was as follows:
First, $2270o0 in the internal inn
provement fund was turned over to
the highway commission through the
law giving this fund to that COM
mission and the vetoing by the gov
ernor Of all road and bridge bills.
Second, the Stephan constitutional
amendment provides for bond issue
by the state Of ten million dollars,
the proceeds to be used for the con-
struction Of good roads under the di-
rection Of state highway commits
sion.
A second constitutional amendment
was submitted which il adopted will
allow each county to issue bonds tc
the amount Cs . per cent of the tota
valuation of its property, these bonds
to be sold and the proceeds to be fol-
the construction of roads. The quail.
fed voters Of each county vote on
the proposed issue. The valuation oi
the property OF the state this year is
a little over $420,000,000. Five per
cent of this sum is $21 100000.
The following is the text of the
constitutional amendment which pro
vides that the counties by popular vote
may expcnd per cent of their valu.
alton on roads and bridges. This il
addition to the ten million provided by
another constitutional amendment.
''fhe total indebtedness contracted
by any county for the purpose of max
ing or repairing public roads ant
bridges shall not at any time exceed
per cent of the assessed valuation OF
the taxable property within such coun
ty and no debt whatsoever shall bt
contracted for such purpose unless the
question of contracting the same ha.
been submitted to the qualifying tas
