Commodity prices are lower, these

R. G. Dun Company's Weekly Re-
view of Trade says:
The strong statistical position of
stocks in first hands and the notable
curtailment in production which still
prevails in dry goods lines confirm the
feeling of confidence in the future, al
though present business is very quiet.
Stocks in China are reported down to
40 900 bales, while at Fall River stocks
of print cloth are less than 1000, 900

many of the difficulties which appear
ed at the outset almost insurmount-
able had been gradually overcome.
chiefly through the improved knowl-
edge obtained of the principles In
volved. The experiments which he
had been fortunate enough to carry out
on larger scale than was possible in
ordinary laboratories had had novel
and unexpected results.
Why was 1t that the distances ira
versed at night time were greater than
those traversed in the day time, and
why was It that greater distances were
made between north and south than
between east and west? Why was 1t
that mountains and land generally OBJ
structed the waves in sunlight and
seemed to offer no obstacle at all dur
ing the hours of darkness?
The generally accepted reason why
sunlight interfered with wireless teleg
raphy was that the ioniaztion of the
gaseous molecules of the air absorbed
some of the energy of the electric
waves. Long waves were affected by
daylight to a lesser degree than short
waves. Recent observation revealed
the interesting fact that it was easier
to send messages between north ant
south than between east and west.

THE BUSINESS
SENTIMENT GOOD
believed That when Industry Revives
II Will Become Very Active
Wool Market Strong.

Boston June Notwithstanding
present business conditions are I'M
satisfactory strong hope is entertain
ed for the future expansion. In this
respect sentiment is cheerful. The per-
iod of curtailment and economy has
been so prolonged that it is believed
when industry does revive it will at
once become very active. Bradstreet's
State of Trade says:
Trade and industry appear to be in
a slackwater condition with quiet gov
erning as a whole and the only really
important change is found in a slight
fading of cereal crop prospects in
parts of the West where high tempera-
lures have conceded with insufficient
moisture.
Retail trade has been favored by
good weather in most sections and
stimulated by reduction sales, but dis
tribution is still hardly up to expecta-
tons. Jobbing trade is of between
seasons character with filling-in orders
the main source of business. Future
transactions still feel the effect of
conservatism bred of crop and tariff
uncertainties.
