CROPS CONTINUE TO DO WELL Railroad Earnings Arc Still On the Increase, and Promise to Ei tnbllsli a. Record, Despite the Coalmlncrs' Strike. NEW TORK, Aug. 1. Bradstreet'e tomorrow will say: " , ' ' Trade Is Quiet, while attention Is concentrated in crop and industrial de-zolopments. Generally Inv prices for farm products point to the former being largely favorable, thougTi market conditions of late have been more active, and favorable accounts of backward weather have not been effaced or repaired. As for .the Fall and Winter outlook, however, the best is pre dicted. In industrial affairs, the outlook is certainly satisfactory. Tho Iron and steel sit uation Is still largely a strong one, but Iso lated samples of weakness are in sight. The railway situation is one of the best in years, and the outlook cs to tonnage Is a flat tering one, marred only toy the prospect of car shortages later on reducing or curtailing tho Industrial operations. Fiscal year earnings returns are exceptionally good, and it Is prob able that, taken as a whole, the railroad earn ings for the half year will exceed those of the same period of 1001, despite reduced anthracite coal-car earnings. Cotton has weakened Quite steadily on good growing crop conditions, though rain and flood damage reports from Texas helped to steady prices on some days, Dry goods trade reports are quiet. Spring styles In woolen opened this week are shown with advances on last season. Wool, though quiet, is steady, and higher grades are held several cents per pound higher than last year. New business in shoes, at Boston is confined largely to sample lots. Leather is in better demand. New business in pig iron for 1003 is still of good volume, but not so active as earlier. The 1001 record of building will be sur passed this year. Lumber Is stronger and higher at the West, and Is recovering from Summer dullness at the East Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending July 31, aggregate 4.3SS.534 bushels, against 3,0S0,pC9 bushels last week, and 0,463, 301 bushels In this week last year. Wheat ex ports since July 1 aggregate 18.353.S40 bushels, agaaiust 2G.201.3SO bushels last season. Business failures tor the week ending July 81 number 168 as against 178 last week, 100 in this week lest year, 173 In 1000, 150 In 1800, and 184 in 1638. Bank Clearings. NEW YORK, Aug. 1.

Aside Prom Heavy Ralnn in Texsrs, Crop Nev Is of the Beet. lUKit, Aug. I. II. G. Dun & Co.'s - ecKiy review of trade tomorrow -will cav: Aside from heavy rains In Texas, the' week's crop news Is encouraging. Manufacturing t'lanis are wen occupied, as a rule. Iron and eirei leaamg. followed by textiles and fontirpnr Fuel scarcity Is still causing delay, although coke ovens are surpassing all previous figures of output, and bituminous mines are vigorously "i-iiiieu. hi mem points retail trade Is active, and preparations continue for heavy Fall sales, while Spring lines are opened with good re sults. Railway earnings thus far available for July thow a gain of 3.3 per cent over 1001, and 20.8 per cent over Juoo. With business In leht for at least a. von r the leading departments of the Iron and steel industry may properly be considered pros' perous. Hides have made further sensational ad vances, Colorado steers reaching new hlgh-rec ord prices. Grain prices declined sharply as the month of speculative manipulation drew to a close and legitimate trading resumed a more normal volume. Meats have shown a tendency to seek slightly lower quotations, but IJght receipts and higher quality do not promise any extensive relation in the Immediate future. PORTLAND 3IARKETS. Grain, Flonr, Etc. The Eastern wheat market made a slight recovery from the day previous, but as tho Liverpool roarke, was lower, $bere was not much doing locally. There Is a belief in some quarters that the meeting btween interior farmers and railroad officials will result in lower freights. Where- buyers havo any con fidence in this possibility, they are reported to be bidding up for wheat, and- on the other hand when the farmers think there Is hope for lower rates they hold off. Quotations were nominally unchanged, with no transactions re ported. Freights are stagnant, but shipowners are not making any further concessions and are going to try a waiting game for the pres ent.

The Rock Island's! Conversion Plan Proves ct Disturbing FactorDrop In Colorado Fnel Another. NEW YORK. Aug. 1. The dlstlngulshinK feature of today's stock market was the marked subsidence of activity, which has been In prog ress all this week, but which reached a condi tion almost of torpor. The movement of prices was also extremely sluggish, with the exception of a few prominent stocks. The large specula tive Interests which have most largely made the recent activity 6f the market weiVqulcs cent. It is probable that the reception given to thff formal announcement of tho Rock Island plan of conversion of Its capital and reorgan ization of the method of control had something to do with the pause In the speculation. The recent brilliant advance in Rock Island has been an Important tpfluence on the whole mar ket. The details of the plan, which do not go beyond a Redistribution of capital without al teration of the property Itself, or of Its rela tions with properties controlled by other In terests, give rise to the question as to whether giving tho stock Its increased valuation in the markets Increases the chance of the plan In course of formation. Rock Island Itself rose to a level 3 below last night, during the morning. Another disturbing Influence was the renewed break in Colorado Fuel, which went below 00. The public recriminations between the contend ing parties to the control give warning oj a conflict which may Involve speculative folliftv ers of the one sldo or the other to an uncom fortable extent. The fear of an unfavorable showing by the banks In tomorrow's statement was another restraining Influence upon specu lation. After Rock Island and Colorado Fuel quieted down and made some recover, there was an Improvement In the general market and a few stock became strong and helped the general market. But the effect upon the gen eral market was very slight at any time. Ca bled reports shqwed easier money conditions abroad, with the passing of the month-end re quirements, and foreign exchange was easier here. This gave rise to the hope that tho gold export rnoverpnt would ba checked next week, and helped tho hardening tendency of this stock market. The forecast of the bank statement indicates a decline In cash reserves of over $2,000,000. The loss by gold exports and Sub treasury operations of $4,800,000 has been part ly offset by receipts from the Interior on bal ance. The market closed dull and heavy. The bond market generally was dull and Ir regular. Total sales, par value, $1,000,000. United States bonds were unchanged on the last call. Closing Stock Quotations. STOCKS.

Women on the west coasrt of Africa, who have always been sold in pjural xnar rlapes, may now be made free at their own request. This Is a recent innova tion, Introduced by the German Govern ment alter long ana earnest solicitation by Presbyterian mlEelonaije, says the JNTew York Tribune. Several native wo men have already availed themselves of the privilege, and as a result of Christian teaching have become the wives of men who have abjured polygamy. Thl3 Is one of the triumphs of missionary effort In that part of, the world. Miss Isabella Nassau, who has been a missionary pf the Presbyterian board for 3 years on the west coast of Africa, In ap Interview with a Tribune reporter, gave some interesting facts regarding the peo ple with whom ehe has lived so long. Mies Nassau has worked among the Bantu people at Batanga and neighboring sta tions. The women are the" agriculturists of the country, and largely thp bread-dinners, said Miss Nassau. For this reason It Ls a simple matter to become acquainted with them. "They aro very industrious. and shoulder the heaviest burdens of life pravely. It s their husbands' part to build the houses, hunt, fish and make deals with the traders. The number or wives a man owns Is limited only by the apiount of his -property, and hts wives are no inconsiderable part of his wealth, as they do hie work. A wife can bo bought with goods worth from ISO to 5150. The native women readily take on civil ized dress and abandon their strips or bright-hued callco.whlch they wear wrap ped about tlferaselves, as easily as they forsook their primitive bark cloth for the product or trie loom. August and September, before the ralne come, are the planting season. The patlvps have learned the value of charcoal In en riching the soli, and It ls their only fer tlllzer. "WTien the men have cleared a tract of land of the trees their part or the farming Is at an end. Then the women, -with their cutlasses and knives, cut down the undergrowth, and as soon as it Is dry enough, burn It. Only the most primitive Implements are used, and they are carried In baskets on the backs of the women when they start, early In the znornmg, ior incir iorcst gardens. Tne same ground Js used only a few years. By that time the upper soli ls exhausted, and It Is allowed to grow up again with wild and rank vegetation, while another plot Is cleared as before for cultivation. Cassava, sugar cane, yams, plantains and bananas are the most common garden products. Qf plantaip there aro several hundred varieties, and there are many kinds of yams. Bananao are seldom planted. Once started, they a&?ert them selves ana -run out tne plantain. The women's baskets never return cmp ty from the gardens. If there are no cassava, yams or other vegetables' or fruits to carry back they are filled with firewood which It falls to the feminine part of the community to provide. The Bantu men do a good deal of resting, apd would never think or shouldering a heavy basket for a woman- Tho man who may be the most skillful of cooks In the whlto man's house will sit hungry for hours in his own and wait for his tired wife to prepare the meal. Until they accept Christianity there ls little family life and the men and women never eat together. Afterward there is a marked difference in the kindness shown by hus bands and fathers to their families. Mem bers of the 12 Presbyterian native churches on a coast line of 150 miles have all abandoned polygamy and aye llylng In more or less wnoiesoma family rela tlons. Missionary work there Is now In Its second generation, and a marked change Is sqcn In the young people who are growing up. The Klng of the tribe Is a Christian and a member of the church. m The Bantu women are excellent cooks. but their utensils are few and of the most primitive sort. The low bamboo houses are furnished with chairs or stools, tables and beds, and often they are beautifully carved. The people never sit on the floor. except as a. sign of mourning. X big flat stone Is as Indispensable to a Bantu wom an's kitchen as are tho meat and molding hoard's to that of a white woman, and It serves the same purpose. The Are Js built on the clay floor at th,o end of th,e nouse, ana is so sKiiuuuy arranged be tween the ends of two logs that It Is hold within bounds without spreading. Very dry wood ls used, because there are "no chimneys, and e minimum of smoke is a necessity. The plantain leaf, enters into , nearly every culinary preparation, ahd"l9 used for a great variety 5? pur- QUIET REIGNS IN GRAIN STILL. AXIi THE CEREALS MAKE!
