WEEKLY TRADE REVIEWS
RAIX IX THE WEST CAUSED
MORE CHEERFUL TONE.
ron and Steel Trade Fairly Good
In Spite of the Strike Brnd-
street'a Financial Report.
NEW YORK, Augr. 2. Bradstreet's to
morrow will say:
Copious rains throughout the western
half of the country have had the expected
effect of Inducing a more cheerful tone
and the feeling is decidedly more hopeful
than It was a week or two ago. Rains
practically insured a large Spring wheat
crop, and the damage already done
appears to have been serious. Judg
ing from the strength of the corn market
itself and the advices of heavily reduced
yields which are reiterated from the sec
tions affected Bradstreet's advices point
to the early corn crop as practically a
failure In the leading surplus producing
states west of the Mississippi, but late
corn undoubtedly has been saved, and as
time elapses estimates of production are
being raised. From the rest of the coun
try, trade advices are in the main quite
cheerful, and despite the intense heat
and drouth of July, an extraordinary
large business appears to have beec done,
which Is reflected in the bank clearings
for that month. Cotton crop conditions
improved In the south as a result of
the recent rains and trade advices are
correspondingly more cheerful. Pacific
Coast crop advices are also better, al
though shipping activity is interfered
with at San Francisco by a strike
The Northwest will produce crops
largely In excess of last year, and a
heavy Fall trade Is anticipated In that
section. The poorest advices naturally
come from the Central West and South
west, but it is significant that points like
Kansas City report that cancellations
have stopped and that . the outlook is
much better.
The woolen mills are filled with orders
for Fall delivery and the Spring Wheat
season has opened encouragingly. Wool
is being taken in liberal amounts by the
manufacturers, and is firm, as is also
London market, at which buying for
America Is reported liberal. Sugar is ir
regular and rather slower in demand.
I.umber is Tather quiet, in sympathy with
the advanced stage of the season, but
prices for white pine are iirmly held.
Prospects for the ending of the steel
strike and the better tone of crop advices
have made the iron and steel trade ap
pear cheerful. For the first time In some
weeks special activity is noted in the
cruder forms, due to the buying of 70,000
tons of Bessemer and basic pig Iron by
the largest single Interests. Finished
products axe as active as ever at all lead
ing markets. Bar mills are reported
filled up with orders to the end of the
year. Shoe manufacturing Is active de
spite some midsummer dullness in selling
directions, and leather Is strong, particu
larly for heavy varieties of sole. Hides
are steady at the East, and tend up at
Philadelphia and Western points.
It has been another weather market for
the cereals. Following the break of last
week, however, wheat and oats appear
to have diverged from corn prices. The
natural reaction due to liquidation has
weakened wheat, aided by good Spring
wheat crop reports, record-breaking re
ceipts of new Winter wheat, and the turn
in the tide of the visible supplies which
have begun to increase after steady de
creases for six months past. The foreign
crops appear no better and reiterated ad
vices of damage to the French crop come
this week, color being given to this by the
continued active export demand.
Corn, after the sharp break of last
week, has steadied up and near the close
of the week was close to the highest
point reached, on alleged confirmation of
damage caused by the recent hot spell
previous to the breaking of the drouth.
Conservative Western estimates point to
a crop not exceeding 1,600,000 bushels.
Oats have weakened with wheat, and
flour Is also weak and lower.
Wheat, Including flour, shipments for
the -week aggregate 6,463,391 bushels,
against 6,974,526 bushels last -week; 4,327,
003 In the corresponding week of 1900;
4.711,614 In 1S99, and 4,111.312 In 1898.
From July 1 to date the shipments ag
gregate 26,200,372, as against 13,562,593 last
season, and 17,255,914 In 1899-1900.
Business failures in the United States
for the week were 166, against 199 last
week, 180 this week a year ago; 156 in
1899; 189 in 1S98, and 214 in 1S97.
Canadian failures for the week number
18, against 32 last week and 29 in the week
a year ago.
FEEIiIXG IS BETTER-
favorable Wcnther Condltons Have
Helped the Corn Crop.
NEW YORK. Aug. 2, R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say:
Continued favorable weather conditions
have resulted in the saving of much late
planted corn, and in the Northwest ideal
weather for Spring wheat harvest has
heen enjoyed. As this Is the point that
business in all parts of the country has
been most carefully watching, the general
feeling Is better than a week ago.
The disposition on both sides to settle
the steel strike has not yet resulted In
any agreement, and the labor situation
is thus kept prominent.
Official returns of pig-iron production
in the first half of the year show a record-breaking
aggregate of 7.764,513 tons,
exceeding the remarkable output of the
previous year hy 32,044 tons. The second
half of 1901 has opened with a much
greater capacity of active furnaces, and
the , full year promises a considerable
larger total than the 13.7S9.242 tons pro
duced in 1900.
During the past week leading mills have
placed large contracts for early deliv
ery, and inquiry for all forms of finished
steel are .abundant. There Is less disposi
tion to pay fancy prices for products that
were advanced by the strike, which Is an
evidence of the general belief in early
resumption of work.
An" unfavorable showing for the first
half year in both exports and output of
copper resulted In the first alteration in
nominal prices since the advance to 17
cents eight months ago.
Wheat Is especially active, Western re
ceipts for the week reaching 6,50S,3U bush
els, against 5,020,761 last year, and 4,734,
363 two years ago, while Atlantic exports
were S.814,996 bushels, against 2,737,789 In
1900, and 3.763.787 In 1S09.
Dealers In some drouth-stricken districts
have countermanded orders for footwear,
and these cancellations are felt mainly
by Western makers, but, as a whole, the
Industry is in a healthy position. Leather
is quiet, shoe factories buying lightly
owing to large supplies taken recently.
The arrivals in hides tends to depress
values.
Wool has at last risen slightly above
the lowest point in four years. The col
ton market awaits the Government report
in a dull and weak position.
Failures in July were 697 In number,
against 793 last year, and $7,035,933 hV
amount of liabilities, against $9,771,775 in
1900. Failures for week not stated.
THE FIXAA'CIAIi REVIEW.
Condition of Money Market Gives No
Cause for Anxiety.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2. Bradstreet's Fi
nancial Review will say tomorrow:
The drouth in the corn-growing states
has been broken and was reflected by a
general improvement In quotations for
railroad shares. The recoveries failed,
however, to Induce much fresh buying of
securities. It would seem, in faot, that
the covering of shorts by professional in
terests, especially the Chicago operators,
was mainly responsible for the rise, and
when this process exhausted itself there
was little to supply either strength or
activity. Tho market was cheered at the
ISSTSSf.SiSSS.S'.
announce-
sbeel strike
was at hand, and there is little disposi
tion to regard the interruption in the
negotiations as being more than tempo
rary. The condition of the money market gives
no ciuse, for anxiety, last Saturday's bank
statement having shown another consid
erable Increase In the bank reserves, at
tended by a further reduction in loans.
Money is "beginning to go to the interior
for crop-movement purposes, but this is
offset by a movement of funds from near
by points to New York, and by large re
ceipts of Klondike gold, transferred from
San Francisco through the Treasury. The
European situation Is not particularly fa
vorable, there being a continued drain
upon the banking arrangements of the
German Empire. No gold shipments have
occurred, although exchange rates have
been fair, and it is feared that Berlin
may require further assistance from both
New York and Lonaon.

AGREES WITH DR. KOCH
OPINION OF VETERINARY SURGEON
ON INFECTED MEAT.
Experiments With Cows Hare Led
Him to Believe They Do
Spread Tuberculosis.
Not
PORTLAND, Aug. 2. (To the Editor.)
As my duties as State Veterinarian for
tho past few years have made the testing
of cattle for tuberculosis a part of my
work, I have given considerable atten
tion and study to the subject.
When I first started in making these
tests I relied entirely upon popular opin
ion of the profession when explaining to
the people the probable transmlssibllity
of the disease from the lower animals to
mankind. After reading up carefully the
history of tuberculosis, I must say I be
came convinced In my own mind that
there surely must be some mistake, for
as meat and milk are so universally used,
how could anyone escape the disease?
I am pleased, to see so eminent an
authority as Dr. Koch denouncing the
possibility of tuberculosis being trans
mitted to man from the lower animals.
While I do not feel as sanguine on the
subject as Dr. Koch, "yet I think he has
been too high an authority on the subject
for the past few years to make a blunder
at this late date.
I believe, however, before Dr. Koch gets
through with his investigations he will
have como to the conclusion that, al
though tuberculosis Is not transmissible
from the lower animals to man, the
meat and milk from tuberculous animals Is
a great medium in aggravating the dis
ease in people who already have it, even
in its incipient stage. v
When we look upon tuberculosis as a
disease, we find that throughout the civil-.
ized world the death rate from this alone
is more than one In every eight deaths,
and there is no doubt that If a post-mortem
were made of all deaths that the
primary cause of many from other
diseases would be tuberculosis in the
system, weakening the vital forces and
thus rendering the system more sus
ceptible to whatever form of disease the
patient was exposed to.
The great death rate "from tuberculosis
shows that the tubercular bacilli are
everywhere, that we all are taking them
into our systems at various times. Those
of us who are stronir resist their Inlur- :
ious effects, but those with a hereditary
predisposition or those with an acquired
one by being run down through some
other disease or overwork, become victims
to the disease, as their physical condition
is not strong enough to resist the In
jurious effect of the tubercular bacilli.
The bacilli do no particular harm to the
body to 'speak .of, only by the irritation
they set up in their more advanced stage.
They live and grow at the expense of the
body the same as grain grows at the
expense of the field It is sown in.
The bacilli live on some pabulum in
the blood, we don't know what, but they
certainly leea, as they could not grow,
and It is this excretion thrown off in the
blood that does the harm. This is proven
very clearly by Dr. Koch's tubercullne,
which is a toxine of the tubercular bacilli
and is" made by preparing an albuminous
medium in a Jar, placing the same In a
sterilized room. Kept at the temperature
of the body, then opening a tubercular
deposit with a sterilized knife, so as to
prevent outsido infection, then dipping a
sterilized glass rod Into the deposit and
dropping It Into the medium and letting
it remain for two or three weeks, the
meaium win be found by the use of the
microscope a living mass of tubercular
bacilli. It is then heated to the boiling
point for about two hours, and forced
through porcelain by pressure, when all
the bacilli will be found steamed off,
leaving nothing but a pure liquid, the
bacilli having caught In the porcelain.
Tho liquid is again brought to the boil
ing point and evaporated down one-half,
when a five per cent solution of carbolic
acid and glycerine Is added, when it is
bottled for use.
Dr. Koch Invented this agent with the
hope of counteracting the growth of the
tubercular bacilli in the body, but found
it a failure in most cases, as it always
aggravated the disease. Where the tuber
cular deposits were superficial, the irrita
tion set up In some cases caused pus
to form when the deposit could be
lanced or would slough off, thus elimin
ating the bacilli from the system. In
other cases where the disease was in
its incipient stage, the Irritation set up
seemed to have caused nature to throw
out a great fibrous covering around the
tubercular deposit, thus shutting the
bacilli off from the circulation, where
they will live their life out and die iso
lated from the circulation, and the pa
tient will recover.
Dr. Gutman, an eminent veterinary
surgeon of Dorpat, Russia, seeing that
the tubercullne also aggravated after In
jecting it, got some tubercullne made
from the human tubercular bacilli and
tried it on the cow, when he found the
same result. In every case where the
cow had tuberculosis the tubercullne ag
gravated, so as to throw the cow Into a
fever, since which time the tubercullne
has been used as a diagnostic agent in
detecting tuberculosis In the cow, which
may bo sleek and fat and yet have tuber
culosis in Its advanced stage.
This being the case, is it not reasonable
to suppose that the meat and milk from
a tuberculous cow carries toxlnes or waste
excrements from the bacilli to aggravate
the disease In people who already have
tubercular bacilli in their system, and
whose . physical condition is run down.
This is my belief after carefully studying
the history of the disease and finding It
to be one of the oldest diseases of the
domestic animals known to man.
Tuberculosis was known to exist in
cattle as far back as Moses time, but
by a different name. It has been the
cause of great excitement among the peo
ple at different times ever since.
In the ninth century a Jewish doctor
and rabbi made investigations that led
him to believe that the disease was
transmissible to man from the lower ani
mals, since which time the most strict
Jews use no meat that has not been in
spected and passed as healthy. In the
16th century all Europe took the sub
ject up and legislated against the disease,
when a German physician, after careful
investigation, came to the belief that tho
disease was net transmissible to man.
So positive was he in his belief that he
made a soup from a tubercular deposit
and ate It before his class of medical
students every time he lectured to them
on the disease. After this the scare died
down again In all the countries of Europe,
with the exception of Italy and Spain,
where I believe they yet adhere to their
first law.
As a reason for my belief that tuber
culosis is not transmissible from the cow
to man, I will refer to some countries
where the percentage of tuberculosis 13
very great among cattle, and yet the
people are a strong, healthy people.
Denmark and Germany shows tho per
centage of tuberculosis among their
cattle to be fully 23 per cent, and yet
the people as a whole are strong and
healthy. Saxony shows fully 30 per cent
of affected cattle, and yet the people are
strong and healthy Other countries I
could mention show a high percentage of
tuberculosis in their herds, and yet their
people are healthy.
In the "United States the death rate
from tuberculosis In the human family
is Just as high as any other civilized
country, and yet I do not suppose the per
centage of tuberculosis in cattle would
reach two per cent the whole country
through, proving in my mind that the
disease is not transmissible to man from
the lower animals, but that the meat and
milk of tubercular animals carries tox
lnes that aggravate the disease in people
that already have the disease, even
though only In the incipient stage.
The case in which Dr. Rockey speaks
of, where 17 young girls attending a con
vent school in France all contracted
tuberculosis, and it was found that the
cow that supplied the milk they used had

tuberculosis, I think is not proof that they
contracted the disease from the cow.
One girl having the disease might give
It to all the rest, especially when so
closely confined as Is usually the case in
convents or other private schools.
I read in one of my Journals that 12
clerks working In a store all contracted
tuberculosis from one clerk having the
disease and spitting around on the floor
the sputum drying up and the bacilli
rising with the dust, which the other
clerks constantly Inhaled. They all con
tracted the disease and died. I could
quote many cases in support of the dis
ease being transmitted in that way,
which I believe Is one of the great
sources of spreading it.
I think if it were true that tuberculosis
is contracted by the human family from
the drinking of milk and eating of meat,
that the race would have been wiped out
before this, as milk particularly has from
all time been the feed for the invalid and
the delicate babe, thus entering the
system when it is at a low ebb, when
the physical condition'if the system has
not the vitality to ret, 4 the growth of the
bacilli. I cannot see how any child could
resist the disease unless It has a good
strong constitution to begin with, lor
statistics show that experiment after ex
periment has been made where guinea
pigs have been fed the milk from a tuber
culous cow and all contracted thci disease
and died. Still again, where the milk has
ljeen mixed with that of a healthy cow
and fed to a like number of guinea pigs,
only a few contracted the disease, show
ing that healthy milk offers some resist
ance to the propagation of the tubercular
bacilli, even when consumed by so sus
ceptible an animal as the guinea pig is to
tuberculosis. However, these experiments
prove nothing when It comes to children,
as mixed cow's milk generally makes a
poor food for delicate children.
Dr. Harry Lane speaks of the Jersey
cow being more susceptible to tuberculosis
than any other. That also I believe to be
a mistake, if he will class her with other
breeds that are large butter-fat pro
ducers. Of course any cow giving a large
amount of milk does so at the expense of
her physical system, and naturally would
not possess the vitality to resist disease
that a cow giving less quantity would. 1
have tested quite a number of herds
where most of the cows were y&rseys,
and had no reaction in the JerseyEawhen
probably one or two common cowlPwould
react.
In conclusion I will say I do not want
to appear as one assuming to know more
about tuberculosis than the .medical pro
fession, still I have devoted considerable
study to the subject and like to read the
opinions of different medical men as to
how tho disease can be best suppressed.

Government Ownership Does
Sot
Solve Labor Problem.
CROY, Or., July 29. (To the Editor.)
Combinations of capital and greed of
trusts are carrying a constant stream of
reinforcements into, the ranks of state
socalllsm.
Such growth as socialism is making: and it is
alarmingly rapid is due chiefly to the Carne
gles, Rockefellers, Morgans and others of their
description. Oregontan.
This is doubtless true, for the tyranny
of these combinations In attempting to
exact a 10 per cent assessment on what is
practically a judicious valuation of their
stocks common and preferred must re
sult In prices to consumers which are
ruinous, as well as a reduction in laborers'
wages, directly and indirectly, by in
creased rentals on their homes, which will
end in a panic of such magnitude that
past ones will be pigmies compared to a
giant.
Spencer says: "All socialism Involves
slavery. What is essential to the idea of
a slave? We primarily think him as one
who is owned by another."
The socialist points to these workmen
as slaves, and to the consumers as but lit
tle removed from the slavery of their em
ployes, and under the stress of another
panic and it surely will come with such
enormous exactions socialism will re
ceive a great Increase in followers.
If this occurs, is it not well to pause
and consider how much less slaves will
men be, "if, without option, they have
to labor for society or state, and receive
such portion as society or state awards
them"?
When Joseph in Egypt, according to the
sacred historian, compelled the people to
give up all their money, cattle, horses and
lands for something to eat, which he had
stored away in the years of plenty by a
usurious and unjust tax, was their condi
tion improved by government ownership
of everything?
This is the only Instance I. can find
where all save the priests' portion was
controlled by a central government, in
either sacred or profane history of man
kind. It may be objected by our socialist
friends that this government was auto
cratic. Would an elective political boss be bet
ter? Would not his friends have all the
easy places while his opponents would do
the menial drudgery?
Would that drudgery be less slavery be
cause of government ownership? Was
not Aristotle right when he said:
"Wherefore It Is the greatest happiness
to possess a moderate and competent for

tune; since, where some posses too much,
and others nothing at all, the government
must be either an extreme democracy
or else a pure oligarchy, or, from the ex
cesses of both, a tyranny, but far more
seldom when the members of the com
munity are nearly an equality with each
other."
From a socialist's standpoint, it is prob
ably to conceive of an equality of owner
ship of property by state control of all
things, but would the most ardent social
ist consider himself properly equalized by
making him section hand and his neigh
bor President of the government, though
they both received the same wages?
To use the expression of a Swedish
philosopher, I know from experience
that the condition of us "underdoergs"
of human society is not extremely com
fortable, yet, I fail to see relief in gov
ernment ownership of all property; but I
see more happiness for the human race
to increase the number- who own homes,
where none save the owner dare enter
"to molest or make afraid." To prevent
the erection of tenement houses in which
human beings are compelled to live, of
more than one story, and with a yard at
least 20 feet square, would add comfort
to many people and In my opinion would
decrease the number of very rich and very
poor, even if we were compelled by law
to limit the price of the rent In these
.homes.
It certainly would make crime less pos
sible in the cities If there could not be
so many Astor landlords.
In conclusion. I will again quote from
Aristotle: "It is universally acknowl
edged that the mean is best; it is evident
that even In respect to fortune a middle
state is to be preferred, for that state
is most likely to submit to reason.
For those who are very handsome or very
strong or very noble, or, on tho other
hand, those who are very poor or very
weak or very mean, are with difficulty
Induced to try reason." J. E. DAVID.

United States, says F. D. Whelpley In the

separates the two countries, across which
International Intercourse finds Its way
only by the bridge of necessity. Regard
less of artificial restrictions, the people
of Canada find in the United States the
best place in which to buy or sell, . and
the people of the United States find in
Canada the third largest market in all
the world for the products of American
labor. The dividing line between the two
countries Is imaginary. On land there is
no break at the boundary in the rails of
the north and south roads. Where water

peoples are generally the same. One mil
lion Canadian-born have left their native
country to add to the population and en
ergy of the United States. Thousands of
people have gone from the United States
to Canada, especially In recent years,
moved by circumstances or to take ad
vantage of peculiar opportunities. As a
nation the peoplo of the United States are
composite to a greater degree than are
those of Canada, though the latter are
sufficiently so to induce the American
habit of broad cosmopolitan thought
Canadians are of much closer kin to the
people of the United States than thoso
of any other country. If there Is any
possible application of tho principle of
community of interests to two peoples, It
should be found in this case.

THE i. R. BREMER CO.'S
Friends Offer Absolute Proof
of the Merits of Coke
Dandruff Cure.
What People Say for the Ben
efit of Others Who May
Need This Great
Remedy.
The verdict of the people must at all
times be considered final, and whatever
the popular verdict may be In the test
now being made of the A. R. Bremer
Company's great discovery for the euro
of Dandruff and all Scalp and Hair
Troubles must necessarily be considered
final.
There are in Portland and vicinity
thousands of people who say that COKD
DANDRUFF CURE? is a grand remedy.
They have good reasons for saying this,
having themselves been either greatly
benefited or cured by its use since the
free distribution at Woodard, Clarke &
Co.'s Drug Store, Fourth and Washing
ton. Read what some people'say about Coke
Dandruff Cure:
Cured of Dnntlrnff With. Less Than
Ttfo Bottles.
Dandruff has annoyed me since child
hood. My case was very severe, causing
a continual Itching of the scalp. I havo
used less than two bottles of Coke Dan
'druff Cure and am entirely cured. I am
very grateful to the proprietors of this"
wonderful reiriedy. and advise all my
friends so troubled to use Coke Dandruff
Cure before It is too late.
