Dun & Oo.'e Weekly Reviewaf Trade will say: It Ik no longer a question whether buslnesb Imiwovts. Not for a long time have our reports fnm uli parts of the counnry been so uniformly favorable. The daily aver age of bank clearings In June is 24.8 per cent larger than last year, though ll. per cent less than In 1892. The most potent influence has been the receipt ot more favorable advices rtgiairdl,ig grow ing, crops. Labor troubles are getting out of Dhe way, wages in many establish ments are r.slng, and the Iron Industry now leading. There is a general im provement in manufactures. The moi. etary conditions also help. The time draws near when the crop export will bring gold hltihtt and ttaug'h foreign op erations In stocks have been ir.Blgr.ificant this week, the effect of previous trans actions has not been exhausted. Di minished receipts of money from the interior Indicate better employment In business and especially at the West, and Dhe volume of commercial loans steadily rises, and is now fair, for this reason, even in good years. The failures for tile week have been 241 In tha Unltel States, against 228 last year, and 21 in Canada against 40 Vast year. SENATOR BLACKBURN SPEAKS. Frankfort, Ky., June 14. Senator Black burn addressed a large audience here to night. He suld he hoped it would not be neoiBsary for him to speak to his neighbors, as he had done himself, against Mars and slanderems. Every news paper wearing the collar of Its master, every guager and (Storekeeper, had com bined wltfli the adimtniEtpatton' and money powed to cause his defeat. Senator Llna sey tcid last night that he (Blackburn; was preaching heresy.' Cariiole had b.en sent here and he thought it would be more civil if t'he pnesidenit) wou'.d make the combine complete arid lock the doors of the White House and come himself. Carttele was taken to task for raying that he had never favored the fres ana unlimited coinage of silver. He sat by his s.die and though he heard him vote tut the silver bill In November, 1873, and peak for the acts of 1890, he would give the beat member of his body If Oirliaie had not been the ablest advocate ot the free and unlimited coinage of silver. But Brutus tells you that he had not, and Surely Brutus is an honorable man. MISSOURI DEMOCRATS. Lebanon, Mo., June 14. Chairman Far rls, of the Laclede county Democratic committee, today said: I have now 52 signatures, or four short of a majority of the chairmen of county Democratic cmmMtees in the state, to call for a state convention for the cons-deration of silver. From She corres pondence I hav, I oxn .reasonably ex pect favorable action from thirteen other counties." He said that during the week the fou counties necessary 4o complete a quorum would be secured. If the state commit tee then refused to ca the convention, prompt action will be taken to secure one otherwise. SPOKANE BONANZA. Spokane, June 14.

T Another Week Nearer . Close of the Season. QUALITY- OF . THE CHINOOKS Reports From the Big Trade Centers Show an Increased Demand for Ucst Grades Everywhere.. Astoria, Ore. 10 p. n., 14th June, 1896. Stocks continue to move away from the river in a fairly satisfladbory manner and at ali the larger canneries shipments are j being made almost as1 fast as they are placed In readiness for orders. The fea ture of the week has been the lively de. mand from extreme Easterni markets which exceeds the orders from that sec-. t.oh for any other year since 18s0. Sev eral Southern centers also are showing more than the usual interest in. canned salmon,- and it looks as If a'thort-pack and slightly increased demands would hold prices up to a very satisfactory ng ure up to the end of the season. New York correspondents report a practically empty market in Columbia river spring fish, and very satisfactory Inquiry from all the big grocery houses, lloston re ports that Massachusetts buyers are pushing orders fast. Omaha correspond en ts ' all agree that the rise in canned meats has had a beneficial effect on the price of salmon in that centre, and the demand is growing. In St. Paul salmon is firm and aotlve, and four large orders has been placed In the twin cit.es during the last few days. There luave been sev eral cuts In freight rates of transconti nental lines which tup the lakes. Som of the latest schedules are New York, Tic; Plttsbqrg, Bufflalo, Cleveland and De troit, 73'ic; Cincinnati, 80; Boston, SOc; Voledo, 76c; Columbus, 7al4c.

Operations -on the low.r Columbia during the past seven days have been fulr. From Saturday fc Wed nesday inclusive the run was large and steady, averaging 16 fish to the boat every day, with fine weight at an avenge of fuliiy 80 pounds. Dur.ng the last three days, however, the catch has slackened up considerably and today showed re turns smaller than they have been for soune weeks. Matters in the vicinity ot the canneries along the middle Columbia are siightly Improving and each of the five canneries operating in that vicinity . averaging 100 cases per day. Very lit tie work is being done by the traps, but the seining appliances are all showing increased catches, and will no doubt con tinue to do . well . till the close ot the season. The canneries at The Dalles and the Cascades are still quiet and though the Increased seining returns have help ed to make things move slowly, the up r.ver pack Is a failure to the present date. Biuebucks are beginning to ap pear in the river In email quantities, showing every day very gradual In crease, and it has now been definitely doteiimined that the blue-back oulput w.ll not reach to anywhere near Its legitimate figures, even for an off year, which this undoubtedly is. Steelhead are begin ning to arrive and there seems to be every prospect of a very slack run of this grade of salmon as well. The quality of the Chlnooks continues most excellent and the fish remain a deep red color, with flekhjlrm and hard. EBB OF THE FREE SILVER CRAZE. Philadelphia Times.

Melloid may be de scribed as a malleable - bronze; It Is a mixture of copper and tin, which Is en. 0.rely free from zinc, aluminum or iron, and it differs from phosphor bronze, man ganese bronze or Bull's metal, In being tough and ductile at all temperatures. Many descriptions of brass and bronze can bs forged or welded, but Mr. Bull states -that with all of them there Is a temperature at which they become brittle.' This may vary from 400 to 900 degrees Fahr,, and when it is passed they again become tenacious and malleable, if their temperature be raised stJIL higher. MAKES THE POOR POORER. Minneapols Journal.
