Reports received at New York ip to July 22 from special agents f the International Mercantile Agency at the leading centres of accumulation and distribution in the country show very little change in conditions from those previously stated. Actual trade is dull, a normal situation for Shis season of the year. The out- vlook for fall and winter business is better in some sections, notably in the South and the Southwest, han it has been for a long while. Calmer judgment than obtained - . 1 1 " 1 3 J . 1 Ml life ucgiumug ucia i cu ulcm iuc estimates of loss by flood to 30, ccoooo bushels of winter wheat lor the four states most affected. Ctoe reliable trade journal has issued a bulletin which points to a yield of this cereal of 610,000, uoov and an. exportable surplus of searly $145,000,000 bushels.

However, there ias been no suffering from the advance in the price of meats. It has always been believed that veutually that eventually there r j?ould be a peaceful settlement by . arbitration and that the distur - 3aace would pass away as quick er a! it develorjed. Probablv a 3uoxe important matter is the Sareatening attitude of the Fall Xiver operatives to the reduction t zz4 per cent, in wages which Incomes operative next Monday. This may spread throughout .New England and unsettle busi ness in that section. A strike ieems to be imminent, as the workers in the cotton mills are s-nvilliug to accept the proposed jcoejaiig of their wage schedule.

Boston reports a vsry active wool market at ad vvaucing piices and with manu 'Aiciurers buying freely. The "banters in that city are looking for a general improvement in lrade within the next sixty days. Tut o itlook there, as in other garters, is for a good fall demand ior wearing material. At Balti more the conditions of the job bing tracfa remain unchanged. IVhile trade for the first six ineefns of the year was not en tirely satisfactory, tl iud;a lkj.is ior the second hah oi 1904 is for a demand that will make a good total average. The best commercial reports come from the West and the Southwest, or from the very regions where the greatest disturbance to business might be expected to exist. For instance Kansas Citv takes a hopeful view of the situation. A week of ideal harvesting weather has changed the whole aspect of things and merchants are refilling orders that had been cancelled on account of the floods. In spite of the packers' strit e ' Chicago has had a week of marked improvement especially in clothing, shoes, dry goods, and men's and women's furnish ings. Interior merchants have shown more willingness to order than for some time. Stocks ot light weight goods have been much reduced. Jobbers and manufacturers of hardware report as large a volume of trade as in 1903, and some of tHem, in fact, have had increased receipts over last year. Collections ' are satis factory. With the prospect of average cereal crops and an early cotton crop of bumper size, the South west is beginning to discount some of the expected enrichment of that part of thecountry. Sales men from St. Louis have had a better trade than a year ago. JobDers are satisfied with re turns, which they find exceed those of recent similar seasons. One significant fact is the de mand for better quality of goods. This is noticeable in clothing and shaes. In hats and caps the orders are far in excess ot lat year. Prompt collections are be ing made. In Louisville some of the leading hardware houses have had larger sales than for a num ber of years. Bank clearings there were nearly $2,000,000 in excess of the week previous. Some skepticism is shown over the reported improvement in the iron trade. The reopening of the Homestead mills was surely an indication that demand had increased, though it is believed that these plants will close down again as soon as certain ' rush orders are filled. The leading Eastern trade journal says, "there is in nearly all quarters a kindly disposition to help an im provement in the iron trade along with cheerful talk." This is a symptom to be encouraged. To Build Electric Road. Judge F. O. Potter, of Eugene, and W. J. Wilsey, of Prescott, Arizona, appeared before the county court yesterday after noon asking for a franchise to build an electric road between Corvallis and the south end of the county along the state road. The object is to connect Eugene and Corvallis. The road will run through Monroe, Junction and Irving, a distance of about 40 miles. It is not decided yet what shall be done but the mat ter is under advisement by the court until next Wednesday when answer will be made. Three years ago a similar request was sought but not granted be cause of objections raised by farmers along the way that the cars would frighten their horses. A road of this kind will work wonders with the southern end of Benton county and supply the great need of the farmers for rapid transit and transportation. The Southern Pacific company will probably not extend its line farther south so a traction line between here and Eugene will close a very important gap. The plea once offered that the cars are dangerous to horses is true in a measure, but no more accidents occur than on railways, besides this experience with similar lines in the East point to the fact that j horses very quickly get accus- toaied to the cars and are more useful in the end. A strong delegation from Mon roe headed by Adam Wilhelm, Sr., also appeared before the court with a view to pushing the enterprise along. Eugene is the center of opera tions. A company has been in corporated for $1,000,000 by Con gressman J. F. Wilson, of Ari zona, a big mineowner, M. S. Taft, a capitalist of Binghamp ton Trust Co., and others, and is known as the Willamette Val ley Electric Railway Co. Finest line of h-rim-ks n thf -ifv at J. M.
