BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD Merchants Are Flocklnjr to the distributing tenters While Buying Is Careful It Is as Brisk as Expected. New York, Aug. 19. Advices received by the Inernatlonal Mercantile Agency ) show that there has been little change in business conditions during the week except in districts specially affected by reports of crop dumage and dis turbance incident to the cut in steel n.in.i Rnsinesa on the whole shows. .,n .m in most retail lines is fully holding Its own.

This is a good sign and shows that re plenishment this year will be con ducted along conservative lines. More seasonable weather throughout the southwest has led to better resula In many lines, especially in dry goods and various branches of apparel. Boot and shoe orders are In better volume, and Jobbers in hats and caps are forcing factores to work overtme to' keep up with the current business. This Im provement has extended to the cloth ing industry, the outlook for which In some sections, was reported to be rather uncertain a week ago. Less stock than usual is believed to have been carried over in many lines owing to the known conservatism of prominent dealers. Their experience last winter was suggestve of the great er care that was dsplayed this year in avoiding the "overstocking evil" for spring and summer goods. An excel lent demand is noted for groceries, es pecially staples, where prices are Arm and distribution is for the most part satisfactory. Encouraging returns are shown in dry goods, and in paints and oils. Leather has been active at the Bouth with better advance in prices, owing to the scarcity of properly cured hides. The wool market has also strengthened somewhat and tobacco In general is holding firm. The Kansas City and St. Louis dis tricts report another week of active business with steady improvement In many lines and generally expanding trade. The latter section, especially, is feeling the stimulus of increased trade from the world's fair visitors, whose purchases are swelling the vol ume of ordinary business to abnormal proportions. While the final results are in a measure dependent upon the crop developments, it is noteworthy that the districts which would suffer the most from a disastrous shortage, have not been alarmed by the excite ment that has attended this week's trading in wheat options at New York, Chicago and Minneapolis. DIEO FROM MOSQUITO BITE. Indiana Farmer Suffers Blood Poison ing and Death. Chicago, Aug. 19.

Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 19. Western Misouri, Kansas and Oklahoma were visited by heavy rains during the past 24 hours. At Rich Hill, Mo., the fall of rain is estimated at six inches and it is feared that the Marals des Cygnes river will again overflow the lowlands. All coal mines at Rich Hill are closed on account of being flooded. The rain in Kansas will prove benefi cial to corn. CHAMP CLARK'S THREAT. Judge Parker May Well Ask to Be De livered From Such Friends. Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Hon. Champ Clark, member of congress, now of Bowling Green, Mo., but born in Kentucky, according to his autobiog raphy in the congressional directory, is a graduate of two colleges, and a law school, has been editor of a newspa- per. city Attorney, a county prose outing attorney, president of u t oilette and is '54 years old, lit pawing. It may be noted -that Champ Clark Is a democrat who was very much In evidence during the Ir. ker convention, n ml who Beted us chair man of the committee to notify the .amlMate, Judjfe Parker, as Speaker Cannon did for President Roosevelt. Naturally one expects that wllh so much liberal education; a birth In the home of chivalry; so wide tin experi ence as that' successor of Job, an edi tor; with the. prudence that should he Ions to a public prosecutor; and with the sobriety which should attach to 54 years, Mr. Champ Clark should at. least have some traces of being a gen tleman. Engaged In debate with his fellow congressman Charles It. Lundis, and before the Western Chautauqua In Indiana, Mr, Clark said, and he meant it: "If the man who just called me a liar will meet me outside of the park when I finish my speech, I'll cut hisjuatod to lit any else of spigot, . I throat from ear to earl It Is certainly not very gentlemanly to call a man a liar, but Mr. Clark, a P"0"-' speaker, a congressman, cer tainly gave fair provocation when on the stump he declared "the republicans want to rule this country by nssassln- word to which Mr. Clark excepted. It Is safe to say that Mr. Clark has pretty effectually put a stop to his usefulness as a campaigner In any state except where they want a man who uses the language of a melodra matic bully. Champ Clark is the man who on the democratic side would be as close to Judge Parker, Bhould he be come president, as Speaker Cannon will be to President Roosevelt. Judge Par ker is unfortunate in his friends. His chairman is Interested In a gambling house and his chief spokesman is a would-be cutthroat TRADE OUTLOOK BRIGHT. Prospects and Sales Cause Manufac turers to Place Big Orders. New York Tribune? The manufac turers of agricultural Implements are placing large orders for steel, and in many cases making contracts for sup plies to be delivered from eight to 10 months in advance. This is due to the fact that the demand for agricultural implements has been very heavy dur ing the last year, and that the require ments of the manufacturers are too ur gent to warrant their delaying pur chases. The present Indications do not seem to point toward their secur ing more favorable terms, even were the purchases to be delayed, as the trend of the market seems rather up ward than otherwise. Dealers In agri cultural implements report that the de mand for goods has not only been large, but that it has been for the best grade of tools and implements manufactured. This applies to the domestic request, but the export trade has also shown a disposition to place orders for the most Improved Implements. The fac that the implements made here possess ad vantages and improvements which are not to be found among those made else where is diverting a large amount of foreign trade to the United States. The plants are all busy with orders, and their large purchases of steel de note that they are preparing for a con tinuation of the present active demand. End of Bitter Fight.

A process of making beer kigs out of old steel rails Joseph S. Heslop of Jollet, 111., the Inventor, believes Is to make him wealthy, says the Denver Post. In his valise Mr, Heslop carrier a small model beer keg, made out of polished steel, which he says will with in a few years do nway with the old and cumbersome wooden kegs entirely. The steel Is only one-sixteenth of an Inch thick, and the keg weighs only a few pounds, but Its Inventor claims that it will stand three times the pres sure that a wooden keg will and that It can be made for one-third the price of a wooden keg. The keg Is made In two pieces, the Joint being hidden by a steel band. The bunghole Is hermetically sealed by a patent contrivance vhh requires a key to unlock it. The hole Is grad- Any kind of steel Is used In its con struction, but Mr. Heslop is now using old steel rails. The interior of the ken Is covered with a pitch preparation used In wooden kegs to keep the beer from tasting of the metal. Sheep Rancher Suicides. Fort Worth, Tex., Aug. 19.
