FEW CHANGES IN TRADE
STJMEROUS FATORABIB FEATURES
TX BUSDfESS SITUATION.
Iroa and' Steel in Bad Sbape-Dnn'i
and Bradatreet'a "Weeldr Trade
Reviews Bank Clearlnsr.
NSW XORK, July 27. Bradstreet's to
toorrow will say:
Important changes In trade and specu
lation are notably lacking this week; but
counter currents of demand In various
sections and Industries lend a rather more
than usually Irregular appearance to the
general situation. Among the notable
features calling for notice are the practi
cal assurance of an immense corn crop
by the recent copious rains In the further
"West, the continued cheerful reports from
the sections -which have gathered and arc
now marketing a large Winter wheat-crop,
advices of continued Improvement In tone
to the Northwest, with reports of re
newals of earlier cancelled orders for
2Tall goods, fairly satisfactory gains In
gross railway earnings, less weakness in
prices of the country's leading cereal
products, based apparently on renewed
buying for export, and rather more in
quiry for raw wool by manufacturers.
Unfavorable elements in trade probably
find their chief and greatest exposition
in the Iron and steel business. That in
dustry. If possible, seems more depressed
than at any time for three years post,
and expectations that price declines will
be checked by the arrival of finished mat
ter at a cost basis have been disap
pointed, because this weeic steel bars have
been sold in some Instances at 1 cent per
pound, which Is unquestionably below the
basis of the cost- of raw materials and
manufacture.
That a large tonnage of this material
and Southern pig Iron has been worked
oft seems certain, but It is still a buy
er's market, with everything that this
implies.
Export business would undoubtedly ex
pand if ship room were available. Among
other metals tin Is locallay lower, on
freer arrivals, after touching the highest
price In 20 years. Rather more Inquiry
for wool at Eastern markets Is a sign
of manufacturers getting ready for the
lightweight season.
Wheat, including flour shipments, for
the week, aggregate 2,363,743 bushels,
against 3,029,331 bushels last week; 3,366.432
bushels In the corresponding week of 1893;
2,371,872 bushels in 1S98; 2.34S.021 bushels In
1897, and 2,648,748 bushels in 1896. From
July 1 to date this season wheat exports
are 11,241,814 bushels, against 13,797,292
bushels last season, and 10,381,810 bushels
In 1S9S-99.
Business failures are smaller, number
ing 183 In the United States, as com
pared with 202 last week; 170 In this week
a year ago; 189 In 1898; 259 in 1897, and 231
in 1S96. Canadian failures number 13. as
against 26 last week; 16 In this week last
ear; 34 In 1898; 32 in 1897, and 24 in 1896.
DULLNESS THE RULE.
Jfew York Stock Market Shows but
Little Activity.
NEW YORK, July 27. Bradstreefs re
View of the stock market tomorrow will
cay: '
rmilness has been the rule this week.
Speculative activity has shrunk to the
narrowest proportions and a heavier
tone is shown, due to the increased at
tention the public markets here are giv
ing to the Chinese situation. The un
settled security of the markets and the
hardening In nftoney abroad have resulted
in moderate but fairly steady selling of
American stocks by foreigners. At the
same time the advance in market dis
count rates at London to above 4 per
cent and the hardening of exchange here,
created a feeling that heavy gold ship
ments from New Tork to London may be
anticipated. The movement of the mar
kets abroad this week was favorable to
Xiondon and adverse to Paris, the rise
of sterling rates at the latter city In par
ticular making the triangular methods
through which gold has been shipped from
New York to Paris, no longer profitable.
No gold was therefore sent on the French
steamer sailing on Thursday, but as de
mand sterling had been advanced to
nearly ft 4S, ot was appreciated that only
the direction of the gold outflow had
changed, and that London would from
now on be the probable destination of
these shipments.
The foreign Influences were thus gen
erally unfavorable to the market here.
At the same time the local factors, while
not bearish, did not encourage bullish
demonstrations. Time money gives Indi
cations of hardening under the prospect
ot gold shipments, and a conservative
feeling over Chinese complications has an
effect on the action of large Interests,
the Investment demand for dividend
paying stocks noted early in the present
month has subsided, and the public is
not inclined to take port in specula
tion at present Floating supplies of most
stocks are, however, small and there Is
still no disposition on the part of the
actual holders of securities to sell them.
The situation as regards the corn crop
is considered satisfactory, but while rail
road earnings continue in the main to
increase, the fact that weekly returns of
euch an important road as the St. Paul
have exhibited decreases since the begin
ning of the month exercises more influ
5? than lt ls entitled to do in view
of the fact that the reduced Spring wheat
yield necessarily affects the business of
au Northwestern roads, and those of the
tot. Paul system In particular.
MIDSUMMER. INACTIVITY.
nn Reports Producers and Consnm-
e r Getting: Together.
.NEW YORK. July 27.-R. G. Dun's
weekly review of trade will say
Speculative activity in raw materials ls
not present to discourage new business.
Producers and consumers are getting to
gether in more than one direction, al
though midsummer inactivity is empha
sized by disturbed foreign relations and
hesitation always attending a National
political campaign. False starts are to
be feared, but the dangerous optimism ot
last Autumn Is lacking, and new business
ls at lower prices.
A stop to the decline in wool brought
many manufacturers into the market,
asking terms. Good sales of California
and territory wools were made to mills
and the trade expects larger purchases
to follow the opening of Spring goods by
the American Woolen Company next
week. Holders who have had difficulty
in storage were the chief sellers. Sales
of wool at the three chief markets were
only 4,337,500 pounds, against 10,773,500
pounds last year.
Similarly In iron, the depression in which
resulted in hesitation and fear In other
industries, the tone is better, and in the
Pittsburg district, the mills have booked
a line of fair orders In bars and plates.
StrucRiral and bridge materials are bet
ter taken. The refusal of the Amalga
mated Association to allow a change in
the wage scale adopted in May has led
to strikes at numerous bar mills, and the
Republic Company is to dismantle some
plants to secure concentration, but the
nonunion capacity will prevent serious
scarcity.
Further business in bars shows that
agricultural Implement makers are active.
Gray forge has fallen to $15 at Pittsburg,
and Bessemer steel billets sold at 519.
"With the uncertainty of the conference
of the steel companies at Chicago re
moved, buyers may proceed with less
anxiety. Export orders advanced electro
lytic copper from 144c to 16c in large
lots. Jobbers in boots and shoes are de
manding prompt delivery in old orders,
but new business is scarce. Manufactur
ers are taking leather only for Immediate
needs, but sole ls more actlveand a large
Bale for belting at a 'moderate concession
ls reported. Packers' hides .sell freely at
Chicago at the recently reduced" price.
It was not at all surprising that wheat
declined still further this week, for the
price had been held far above tho quota
tion ruling at this date In 1899, and crop
conditions are so generally satisfactory
as to assure an abundance for all home
requirements and the usual amount for
export. High prices have curtailed for
eign buying to some extent, and In four
weeks Atlantic exports of wheat, includ
ing flour, have been 7,265,436 bushels,
against 8,8230,331 last year.
Failures for the week were 231 in the
United States, against 151 last year, and
28 in Canada against 20 last year.

DEFENSE OF ENGLAND
GOTERJfMEKT FIAETLT WARJTED
OF ITS DAKGER.
An Interesting? Discussion la Parlia
ment French Generals to Be
r
Reinstated.
LONDON, July 27. In the House of
Lords today the Earl of Weymlss asked
whether the Premier, Lord Salisbury, had
received Information confirming the view
of one of our military attaches to tho
effect that it was all important that
England should be made unassailable by
November and whether he had satisfied
himself that our means of defense were
such as to render all attempts at in
vasion futile. Lord Salisbury demanded
the name of such attache.
The Earl of Weymlss I cannot give it.
Lord Salisbury Then you have no
right to quote him.
The Earl of "Weymlss You have no
right to ask it.
Lord Salisbury, proceeding with some
warmth, slid the Earl of Weymlss in
ability to quote the name was evidence
that the story was pure invention. He
said he had never heard that lt was Im
portant that England should be unassail
able by November. He understood, how
ever, that a number of shooting stars
might be apprehended in November. If
his Albert Hall speech on this subject
was read in its entirety it would be seen
that he did not point to any Immediate
danger. He believes the defenses were
quite adequate and he had every confi
dence in the future.
Tho Earl of Rosebury said it was to be
regretted that the Premier had Incor
porated so much' heat in his reply. He
thought the Earl of Weymlss should not
have mentioned the anonymous attache,
and said Lord Salisbury's Albert Hall
speech had Intensified the anxiety in this
country by its extraordinary. Inade
quate conclusion. It was not enough to
tell the Primrose League to form clubs
to protect Jlberty when so vast a body
of reservists was locked up a thousand
miles away. The Secretary of "War had
made Innumerable statements In the
House and developed a scheme of Na
tional defense, but the Commander-in-Chief
had never pressed support of them.
The matter was grave.
As Parliament would shortly adjourn,
the Earl of KImberley hoped the Govern
ment would devote the remainder of the
session to seeing that everything possi
ble was done to put the country in a
condition of safety. The subject was
then dropped.
ROBERTS' ADVANCE COXTlXUES.
The Boers Are In Fall Retreat Be
fore Him.
NEW YORK, July 27. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
South African news, while confused. Is
reassuring, from the British point of view.
Lord Roberts has continued his advance
to Balmoral, where General Botha estab
lished his headquarters for many weeks.
The Boers wnm in full ntMot M,iran)
and Generals French and Hutton werel
anvmg the commandos before them on
each flank of the railway. Lord Rob
erts has clearly set an objective point be
fore his army, and ls aiming to drive
President Kruger and General Botha from
the railway Into the Lydenburg District,
whore they can be starved out at leis
ure, when the railway communications
with Delagoa Bay are broken off.
News from thft Ornnw 'RIvat' rv.lri.
while Indecisive, shows that Generals Hun
ter ana Clements have been closing In
upon the remaining Boer force intrencfled
In a natural stronghold, and that, whllo
there has been stiff fighting and a re
pulse of the Sussex Regiment the ad
vantage on the whole has been on the
British side. General Dewet evidently
had hoped to divert General Hunter from
these operations, by breaking throughthe
cordon, but Colonel Broadwood was sent
after him, and the bulk of the British
force remained to complete the entrance
of the eastern section of the colony and
has captured one strong position and
compelled the Boers to evacuate another.
General Dewet ls stil heading northward,
and Sir Redvers Buller's army and Gen
eral Bundle's division are only partially
occupied.
The results are not yet positive In any
quarter, but the British armies are mov
ing and attacking the Boers with great
spirit. The long halt seems to have ended,
and the weary British public is beginning
to hope that the close of the campaign ls
in sight.
American Lawyers Entertained.
LONDON, July 28. Beneath the gabled
roof of Middle Temple Hall, some 50 lead
ers of the American bench and bar were
this evening entertalqed by the Judges
and lawyers of England. United States
Ambassador Choate said after the ban
quet that it was tho "greatest compli
ment ever paid to the American bar." All
the legal luminaries of England were
present except Baron Russell of Kll
lowen, the Lord Chief Justice, wno was

by Assistant Attorney-General James A.
Beck, of Pennsylvania, who with won
derful eloquence traced the relationship
of the two countries, winding up. amid
loud applause, with a repetition of the
story of Apia. 'Mr. Choate toasted the
Queen, accompanying the sentiment with
glowing eulogy. Lord Salisbury was not
ono whit behind the United States Am
bassador in complimenting President Mc
Kinley, nor In his praise of the American
bench and bar.
French Generals to Be Reinstated.
NEW YORK, July 27.-A special to the
Times from Paris says:
It ls highly probable thatseveral Gen
erals who were put on the retired list by
the former Minister of War De Galllfet
after the Dreyfus trial will be reinstated
In the army. Generals De Negrler and
Zurllnden will both probably receive com
mand of army corps. This further proof
of the government's conciliator policy
will be favorably received by public opin

Five Country Pupils Pass.
Corvallis Times.
According to the plan recently adopted
by tate Superintendent J. H. Ackerman,
the examination of applicants for gradu
ation from the public schools of Oregon
under the state course of study were held
during May. In Benton, County there
were 30 applicants. The questions were
prepared by County Superintendents un
der instructions from the State School
Superintendent They were mailed by the
County Superintendent to the different
schools having applicants, with Instruc
tions not to be opened until the day of
the examinations, and then only In the
presence of the entire class, by the ex
aminer. One member of the board, or
tlie entire board," act wltb!"the teacher
as the examining board. All applicants
who make an average of 80 ,per cent and
do not fall below 70 per cent in any one
branch receive a county graduation di
ploma. This admits the bearer into any
school of the state having 'nine grades,
without further examination. Arrange
ments have also been made whereby the
bolder ls admitted Into the Oregon Agri
cultural College without further exam
ination. In the examination Just mentioned Miss
Grace Nichols, daughter of Hon. R. J.
Nichols. Representative of Benton Coun
ts, .made the highest general average, lt
being 9L4. The other successful appli
cants are: Amanda Longbottom. Alsca;
Nell D. Glassford, "Wren; Stbrme Strauts.
Summit; Emlle Price Dusty. It will bo
seen that out of 30 applicants only five
passed the examination, all of whom
were from the country schools.
A CHANGE IN VIRGINIA.
Still Democratic, but Is Getting:
Tovrnrd Republican Ground.
"WASHINGTON, July 2L Advices from
Virginia of late seem to Indicate that the
Presidential campaign In that state win
be short and sharp. Of course, the state
will go Democratic, therefore the useless
ness of a long-continued fight on the part
of tho Republicans. So sure are the
Democrats of success that they will not
make any extra effort, although the Re
publicans will work quietly In hopes of
securing a perfect organization. Virginia
will see llttlo speaking of any sort before
September, when lt is expected that David
B. Hill will set the ball rolling. Hill is
booked to speak at Richmond on the 3d
of September, before the leading Demo
cratic club of the city. Bryan: and Stev
enson aro both, counted on for speeches in
Richmond during the campaign.
Close observers of political situations In
Virginia say that politics In the Old Do
mlnlng Is gradually falling Into the con
trol of the young men. These ,young men
do not cling tenaciously to the old Ideas
of their sires, and aro growing stronger
and stronger In their sympathy with Re
publican principles. In fact, it is pre
dicted that when Virginia disfranchises
the negro, so great will be the strength
of tho younger element, who, as a. rule,
are not la sympathy with silver and tho
unprogresslve sentiment of antl-expan-slon,
that the Republicans of tho state
will at last have a show, and may be able
to carry the state four years hence, or
eight years off, at the outside. It is the
older element, and many of the war-time
voters, that make the Democracy so strong
In Virginia, and as they pas3 away and
their domination dies out. Republican
progress In Virginia will become notice
able, and assert Itself in some material
way.
The ..Rapid Transit Problem.
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.
Rapid transit between tho business parts
of cities and their suburbs ls wholly a
modern problem; lt is principally a recent
problem, and one which has taxed to Its
utmost the best engineering talent of the
age. The brilliant achievements of street
railway engineers In the present genera
tion have no more than kept pace with
urgent necessities. The solutions of the
problem have brought glory to Inventors
and great fortunes to promoters. And yet
the problem, growing faster than any
solution, or all the solutions together, re
fuses to be Anally solved.

Labor Question in Havr&ll Amerl-
. can Ship Chilcott Fined Rall-
vrny Mail Service.
HONOLULU, July 27. The remains of
Emil Uhlbrecht, ot Lo3 Angeles, Cal., well
known throughout the United States as a
bicycle rider, who was drowned oft Maka
puu Point last Sunday, were discovered
yesterday in the stomach of a shark
caught at the entrance of Honolulu har
bor. When the shark's body was opened
by native fishermen, they found some
bare hip bones, a right femur with no
flesh on at all, and a right foot, the
latter In a most remarkable state of
preservation. The shark's teeth had bit
ten it off at the ankle as clean as a
blow from a guillotine might have, and.
being swallowed whole, it remained with
only a few scratches. The condition if
the other bono showed that when the un
fortunate young man's body was. at the
mercy of the waves a number of sharK3
had attacked lt at once, and they nad
fought over it, rending it limb from
limb.
Ono of the toes of the foot had a very
peouliar malformation. From this fact
Mrs. TJlhbrccht. the widow of Ulbrecht,
and several other friends identified the
remains. The shark was 14 feet long and
weighed 700 pounds
Collector Stackable has levied a fine
of $2000 against the American ship
Marion F. Chilcott, Captain "W.
F. "Wheedon, for violation of the
United States laws regarding discharging
of cargoes. The Chilcott's violation ot
the law consisted in beginning to dis
charge without a permit to do so. The
fine was paid, but there will be an ap
peal to Washington, and Captain Whee
don will try to have Collector Stackable's
decision overruled by the Treasury De
partment, 'on account of the sudden
change in the laws here.
It ls stated positively that the pro
posed scheme of Importing labor from
Porto Rico to Hawaii has been aban
doned, temporarily at least, as lt might
be regarded as a violation ot the foreign
contract labor law.
Some time ago a number of Tyrolese
were brought to this country to work as
laborers on plantations. It had been rep
resented to the Austrian Minister at
Washington that tho Immigrants were
ill treated In Hawaii. Governor Dole has
received a letter from Secretary Hay on
the subject Alexander and Baldwin are
the employers of the Tyrolese laborers,
who are said to be pleasantly treated on
the plantations of that Arm on Maul.
They aro not under contract, nor have
they been since they went to work In
this country.

PHILADELPHIA, July 27. Arrange
ments have been practically completed
for bringing the Olympic games, emble
matic of the world's championship, to

sylvania's athletic grounds, in the Sum
mer of 1904. When plans for reviving
these ancient sports were decided upon,
it was agreed to hold the flrst series at
Athens, In the old arena, where the
Greeks had contested for athletic suprem
acy centuries ago. It was there in 1S26
that Princeton and Harvard surprised the
European world by the progress of Amer
ican athletics on tho track and field. It
was agreed by the committee In charge
that the sports should be held every four
years, that they should go to Paris In
1900, that England should have them In
1901, and America In 1908. In some little
correspondence the University of Penn
sylvania athletic authorities had with pro
moters of sports in England before Penn
sylvania's team started abroad this year
lt wa3 learned that the Britishers were
not particularly desirous of having the
games In 1904. and with a little diplomacy
they havo been Induced to give way to
America.

Lost His Jurisdiction.
Memphis Scimitar.
A good joke Is told on a Shelby Countv
Justice of the Peace, whose residence and
civil district adjoin the Mississippi rtate
line. Like all others In the rural districts
who havo that honor, he had an ab
normal appreciation of the responsibility
of the ofljce. and never lost an oppor
tunity to exercise hl3 prerogative of de
manding that peace be preserved.
One day his son and a hired man got to
fighting on a stretch of the farm near
the fence which separated the two states.
The old gentleman mounted the fence,
and with an air of authority commanded:
"In the name of the State of Tennessee,
I demand peace."
Just then the fence gave way, and as
ho went down with the fence toppling
to the Mississippi side, he yelled to hi3
son: "Give 'em h 11, Billy! I've lost
my Jurisdiction'"
