Rradstreet's Report

New York, June 23.-Bradstreet's to- m borrow will say:
 Warm bright weather favors retail trade in reasonable light dress fabrics and wearing apparel which also feels the stimulus of earlier than usual clear ance sales Jobbing and wholesale trade is of a between-sesson character. i'm mediate iobbing business being largely confined 10 small recorders to fill de- pleted stocks
 While business for fall and later dates Is about fair, the disposition is to act conserva tiveiy pending clearer views of crop outcome and of possible tariff revision, which has attracted rather more attention this week owing to developments at Washington.
 There is little new in industrial lines, restriction of production still being in evidence in most lines of manufacture and in building activity Is less mark ed than a year ago. Reduced prices for iron and steel, this weeks contribution is this respect being wire and wire goods, have improved demand and more railroad buying is in evidence with 9 more cheerful feeling in pig iron. Cop per is firm owing to the heavy buying experienced within the past forl eight. Recently, however, sales have de- creased but the previous buying was well distributed with brass manufac- turers figuring in the movement. Spec ulation and manipulation have also helped to raise prices.
 Cotton goods buying for the future is still quiet and production is restrict ed but hopeful view Is taken to the future because of the general agree ment that crop conditions have inn proved and that a record cop at lower prices Is possible.
 Business failures ir the United States for the week ending June 22 were 222 against PIP last week. 1S7 in the like week of 1910; 223 in 1909; 25s in 1908, and 150 in 1907.

 Some Decorations
 The decorations of yesterday remained in Piccadnly and those in the other streets travevsed were not less spectacu- lar. In the Strand there were rows of masts, each bearing a red lion, and un- derneath a red velvet drapery with lion rampant in the center. Festoons of va- rious colors ran from mast to mast
 Down Fleet street to Ludgate there were alternately Venetian masts with cross bars and pillar masts, the Venetian masts surmounted by a figure Of fame with trumpet. while the pillar masts sup ported the British lion and the unicorn. The masts were connected by festoons of greenery.
 Somewhat similar decorations had been made in the other streets of the city while across the entrance to London bridge triumphal arch had been erected.
 South of the river every house. no ma.- ter how modest, had a piece of bunting flying. Except for the absence. of the gold coach, the eavalcade vas more bril- lant than that of yesterday, and the stands along the route certainly made a brighter appearance.

CONSOLIDATION OF ALL ASSOCIATIONS Necessary for Good Roads Progress Says Senator
 Bankhead

Senator John H. Bankhead, well known as an ardent good roads cham pion says that the lack of progress. in the good roads movement is due to the fact that there are too many in- dependent good roads associations-siX in number-that are not cooperating with each other which should be con- solidated into one big organization.
 If these organizations would real ize that so much more good could be accomplished by the consolidation into one national association" he said when seen yesterday at the Morris. the dif- ference in the work accomplished would be amazing. Congress is ready to make appropriations to this work but with out one national organization these claims cannot be made equally or for the best interest of all concerned.
 "Although Congress has made lib eral appropriations to these associa- lions. the money has been spent and has not accomplished the great amount of good which 1t should have because 1t has not been equally distributed and on account of the lacS Of co-oper- alton the work done has beer very eX- pensive To show how much good that could be accomplished we may take the good rivers and harbors movement.
 .Prior to the consolidation of the good rivers and harbors associations little good had been accomplished, but when these organizations consolidated into one national association great good was accomplished. They met in Wash fngton and made demands of Congress for appropriations to carry on this work and Congress gave them s50,0O0,OOO year to operate on. This shows what they did after the consolidation.
 "The policy of Congress is the same toward the kood road associations as 1t was to the rivers and harbors. If the good roads associations would organize in one organization and meet in Wash ington every year and put their claims for appropriations before Congress am sure that Congress would take the same policy as it took in the case of the rivers and harbors, except that it would appropriate more to this good roads movement because 1t iJ vastly more important.
 '.No doubt Congress would make a larger appropriation to ,ne good roads because so much more commerce is carried over the roads than by the water. Tn gre are three means by which commerce may be transported Rivers, railroads and dirt roads It is estimated that 90 per cent of all this commerce is transported by the roads, so that is the great reason why we should have good roads Congress would certainly give us a very great appropriation
 But now the great desire of the good roads people is to organize in one national assc citation and 10 present our claims before Congress and have hearty cooperation with the state aru county so that this national association could make equal appropriations to the states If this consolidation is effected l am sure great things will be done"

 INTERSTATE FIRE
Company Not to Be Confused With Halliday Report of
 Yesterday

At a. conference of some of the officers of the Interstate Fire Insurance com pany yesterday, including John L. Par ker, treasurer; E. D. Smith. general coun- sel and w. l.. Reynolds vice president and manager, the belief was expressed that some of the readers of The Age Herald might confuse this company with the one referred to in the report of Act uary Halliday yesterday and headed, Bit ter and Sweet Mingle in Report on In- terstate Co.,"
 The Interstate Fire Insurance company has offices in the First National bank building and it's financial report makes an exceptionally fine showing. It was, of course, not alluded to In the report by Actuary Halliday published yesterday.
 Far from criticising the management of this company, the conclusion of the recent report of Examiner Halliday" said MT. Reynolds yesterday, lon the In- terstate Fire Insurance company compli- mented the management of the officers and predicted that the company would make success if operated on the plans outlined by its officers and directors

TREND OF BUSINESS IS FOR THE BETTER Dun and Bradstreet Make
 Weekly Report IRON IS IMPROVED Steel Market Also Shows Better Tone With Booking Steadily Increas-
 ing-Tariff Revision h.
 spires Conservatism

New York. June 23-R. c. Dun & row will say:
 The actual volume of business con- tinues below producing capacity and such improvement as Is in evidence Is slow yet the trend is unquestionably for the better and the movement prom ises to quicken as the crops approach nearer to harvest. It is noticeable that the most optimistic trade reports come from those centers close to the main agricultural sections
 Further improvement appears in iron and steel at a time when quietness usually prevails and the bookings of the leading producers arc steadily in- creasing. The bet+erment in trade has extended to pig iron also, which has heretofore made a poor showing. Con siderable animation is noted in fabri- cated and structural steel, with large purchases in prospect while additional orders for about 10000 tons of rails have been placed, although individual contracts are small, Further readjust- ment of prices include a cut of S2 per ton on wire products.
 The trend of business in dry goods is again toward supplying only imme diate needs, the lack of anticipatory buying by jobbers tending to increase the volume of curtailment by mills. Prices are firm and on fine count bleached cottops advances have been named on some lines. At eastern cen ters the wool market Is more quiet. but there is still considerable business negotiated in quiet way.
 Further slight improvement Is noted on footwear though most wholesalers still operate conservatively. Manufac- turers are confronted with a higher leather market, but as yet no readiust- ment of prices on a higher basis is noted. There is a regular demand for shoe feathers 10 meet current require ments but for most descriptions or sole and uppers, present trading is not ac- tive, althouTh rhe markets have shown a gradual Improvement for some time past. The domestic hide markets con tinue in a strong position but at the higher quotations tanners are holding off, with the result that trading in both packer and country hides has been of much smaller volume than for several weeks past.

 There was no grounds whatever for the grossly exaggerated reports sent about the recent march of troops from Gal weston to Houston" said he. When the troops returned to Galveston fewer were on the sick list than when they left. Of course the heat during the march was intense, relief was afforded a few of the men, but only to a few
 General Mills declared that much ben- eft was received by the troops during the encampment and that the training was excellent for both officers and en- listed men. General Mills is accompanied by Mrs. Mills. They left for Atlanta tonight

ARABIAN REBELS
 SLAUGHTER TURKS
Thousands Killed in Desper- ate Hand-to-Hand
 Encounter

Hodeidah, Arabia, June 17-(Via Alden, June 23.)-Rebels In great force today surprised and cut up Turkish column commanded by Mahomed All Pasha outside Gheesan, a town on the Red sea, about 100 miles north of here. A thousand Turkish soldiers were killed. Mahomed Alipasha is missing.
 The fighting was so desperate and at Such close quarters that 500 Turkish fugitives are suffering from serious dagger wounds. The survivors fled in disorder to Gheesan, pursued by the rebels.
 The Turkish gunboat Sutebbe, intend- ing to shell the Arabs, shelled Gheesan instead, killing or wounding several hundred of the soldiers.
 The rebels captured four big guns, two Maxims. 2000 rifles and quantity of ammunition and ultimately retired.
