WEEKLY TRADE REVIE w

Of trade tomorrow Will say:
Trade reports are irregular in tenor,
In which respect they difier slightly from
crop returns, which indicate that favor
able progress has been made, and that
on the whole conditions are relatively
satisfactory, saving cotton. Of course.
Retail trade has suffered from unset
tied weather the early part Of the week,
having been either too cool or rainy for
free distribution. Dealers have purchased
sparingly, and 1t is inferred that stocks
are not now burdensome.
in the dry gods line distribution for
Immediate needs Is not above fair, the
season Is well spent, and buying for fall
Is not widespread. Eastern jobbers are
hoping for lower prices on cotton goods
in month or So
In Industrial lines, iron and steel con-
tfnued heavy. though following the recent
rush new business has fallen on some
what Though demand for pig iron Is
quiet, furnace stocks the country over
have been reduced in good degree, but
coke prices are 50 high as to presage,
perhaps, some effect on outputs Of iron
and steel.

view OF trade tomorrow will say:
-Four features Of the business situa-

which seem doubtful These favoring
features are: The better outlook for the
crops, particularly in the Northwest. this
being already ysSssductive OF an. increase
OF confidence and activity In the leading
trade eenters Of the great agricultural
section; the warm weather, which Is
everywhere stimulating trade distribu-
tions; the very notable expansion which
has taken place in the iron and steel
trade, bringing production almost to the
point OF capacity and giving promise OF
a year Of remarkable consumption; the
greatly improved conditions which have
prevailed this year in the textile mar
kets. a fact due. In part. TO the more
normal state OF the market for raw cot
ton. and in part TO that condition which
is the Inevitable product Of low stocks
OF merchandise and a growing popula-
ton with expanding wants
THE past week has Rccentuated these
more favorable features. Larger activity
is noted in the retail and Wholesale divl-
sions Of the dry goods trade. There IL

Drive Continues Against Rock Is

New York, May si.-The drive against
Rock Island issues Wednesday was taken
up again after the holiday, which re-
suited not only in depreciation Of the
market value Of shares and bonds Of
this property, but served as well to halt
the upward march the market had ap-
parently taken following several listless
ana unsatisfactory sessions Rock Island
earnings have shown up rather badly,
but Daniel @. Reds optimistic utter

temporarily on his way West, included
a statement that there would be no de-
fault of any Of the company's bond IN
terest This served as a stay to the
downward course For two days there
was liquidation OF the Rock Island col

ment of interest apparently passed with
the Reid interview.
In the ten months ending April 30 there
was deficit Of Slsl, 900 reported by the
operating company after paying all the
holding company's expenses and charges,
hut earnings in May and June viii make
up a very large part of this deficit. An
additional $4,000 viii accrue at the end
Of the fiscal year from equipment hire,
which will mean a surplus Of at least
$4,000 for the operating company after
paying all Of the holding company s
taxes, expenses, and interest charges.
seventeen-cent Copper.
Seventeen cent copper has been on the
lips Of the metal producers for some time
past, and it has actually become real
ity for the first time in five years. It
was back in 1907 that copper metal was
on the toboggan slide from the S-cent
level and in August of that year touched
II cents on the way down to below
12 cents a pound The strangest part Of
the situation has been the fact that cop
per shares of late have made no re-
sponse whatsoever to the excellent trade
conditions. Several months ago bull
movement was started in copper stocks
both here and in Boston, the home of
this class of securities. Copper metal

the neighborhood OF 151z cents pound.

the Henry bill yesterday requiring pub
Iicity of all contributions to the cam
paigns OF those seeking nomination as
President or Vice President of the United
States. II the bill passes the Senate
promptly, it will apply TO the present
campaign.
Representative Henry read into the
Record charges made by the Taft and
Roosevelt campaign managers that the
opposition was spending large sums of
money to secure the nomination foS their
respective candidates.
The debate was marked by an oya-
to Speaker Clark. whom Mr.. Rucker of
Missouri referred to as "the next Pres
ident of the United States"
The bill requires the manager, pres
ident, secretary. chairman. or any per-
son in charge OF a political bureau to
file with the Secretary OF the Senate
statements every fifteen days of the
money received and spent in the interest
OF its candidates. The bill was amend
ed SO as to apply likewise to all organ
izations, social or otherwise, which at
tempt to influence the nomination Of
any candidate and spend money for
that purpose.
