annual report. 1t showed an increase IN

ty-seven dollars and seventy-six cents
has been expended by the committee
during the year,
The report of the committee on peace

TRADE REVIEW.
Much Betterment Of Bust
ness the First HaIf-year.
Good Advance in The Dry Goods
Market Business.
Dulness Dominant Feature of the
Leather Market.

New York, June 2S.-R. c. Dun &
Cos. Weekly Review of Trade, tomor-
row, will say:
The first half of the year closes with
much of actual achievement in the
betterment of business and of much
promise for the remainder Of the year
The actual achievement is chiefly in
the increase in Industrial activity. due
TO the need of replenishing depleted
stocks and of supplying the pressing
wants of a growing population.
In the dry goods markets. iobbers
are sending in duplicate orders for
fall, indicating that an unusually good
advance business has been booked for
that period. Drills and sheetings rule
steady, prints are firm and staple
ginghams and zephyrs are selling more
freely. FAN River sold 100000 pieces
in print cloths, last week, 10000 OF
which We're for spot delivery. Novelty
was fabrics have cleared up well and
business on made up summer goods
has been steady. Retailers are active
conseryatively. but prices have stiff
fened and miscellaneous buying for
export is very good. In woolens fan
dress goods of many kinds have been
advanced five cents per yard and some
OF the largest jobbers state that adj
Vances are the best in five years. Some
cloths have. been withdrawn owing to
the soldup conditions of the mills.
Pronounced dullness Is still the
dominant feature of the leather mar
ket and as many shoe manufacturers
and leather dealers take stock at this
period and numerous factories are
closing down for several weeks, no re-
newal in activity is expected until the
latter part of July. Supplies of leath-
er are very moderate. Desirable dry
hide hemlock sole is scarce and strong
and some large upper leather tanners
look for further advances when bnsi-
ness picks up. but union backs have
eased off about a cent from the high
quotation of a month ago and some
poor in quality secured oak backs can
be obtained at 3S as against the pre-
Nious asking price of 80 cents. Fail
nres this week numbered 246 in the
United States against 254 last wear
and 26 in Canada compared with % a
year ago.

THE DAYS DETAILED STORY.

Baltimore. Md, June 2S--After sit
ting 2ll through the night the Demo-
cratic National convention reached the
first ballot in the Presidential nomi-
nation Shortly before o'clock, this
morning. There was no choice In fact
all tie candidates We're so far away
from the two~thirds vote necessary to
nominate that the delegates, today,
looked forward to a long. hard fight.
After the first ballot the convention
a. ZIG A. NJ, took a recess until
o'clock, this afternoon In the mean
time there will be much studying of
the figures on The test vote and many
conferences among the leaders.
AS was expected. Speaker Champ
Clark led all the other candidates on
the first ballot. He received 4401s votes
to 324 for Woodrow Wilson. his near
est rival This. however, left the Speak
err 2s6k votes short of the necessary
two-thirds. Governor Harmon of Ohio,
aided by New Yorks solid block of 80
votes, was third. with las. Represent
ative Underwood of Alabama received
1l7k votes.
William J. Bryan of Nebraska get
one vote from the Ohio delegation.
1t was CAB A. Nj. when the last state
was called and the last speech had
been made. Inside the auditorium only
single line of arc lights cleaned
where there had been a score. Outside
the light of day filtered its way
through heavy veil of clouds. But the
clouds we're 40 heavier than the eyes
of the delegates and they greeted the
beginning of the first roll call with u
whoop.
Th test vote was carried on with
great rapidity and little or no eonfu-
sion. The galleries were all but for
saken Strangely enough, the women
seemed to outnumber the men among
the spectators who had passed the
night at the hall, and We're also mach
more keenly alert to the proceedings
II required half an hour to call the
roll and figure the results. Then came
TIE motion to recess and ii was car
ried. despite the protests of some dele
gates who were ready to go on with
the battle to the bitter end. The ses-
sion over. the big hall was emptied in
a few minutes.

Tuesday was class day. Alumni and
friends of the seniors and the college
were gathered from far and wide for the
exercises. The spacious Bates campus
looked its prettiest and any serior will
give witness to the fact that the exer-

Glass Day parts were buried beneath
the ivy planted by the class year ago.
There were no empty seats in Hathorn

as soon as the seniors had slowly
