NBW YORK , July 14. Dun's Kcvlcw of
Trade tomorrow win say :
Because every prospect pleases It la the
right time to watch most closely ( or signs
of trouble. Hut It la not easy to find them
when the \olumo of business Is C3 7 icr
cent larger than last jenr and 75 S p r cent
larger than In 18D2 , the best of all 5 cars
except the last , or when failures continue
the smallest ever known , or when the ex
ports of staples begin to Improve materially ,
or when railroad business Is by far th *
best ever known , or when New York bankers
appear In International operations , ihten-
Ing to a Russian Inquiry and undertaking
a .Mexican roan.
K\en the disputes Incident to the season
cause less trouble than usual , the largest
of them having been settled by the Tin
Plate company The Dank of Knglind finds
It difficult to borrow more from this sldo
and frankly raises Its rate , while this
country begins to ship fresh crops , for which
Europe will run Into debt.
Iron production In the first week of July
was 263,363 tons for the last two weeks ,
less because a strike July 1 closed seven
Bbcnango furnaces , producing 1,200 tons
dally , though It Is expected to end today ,
nnd several other furnaces have begun pro
ducing this month. The Increase of 3'JlO
tons weekly In June , with a decrease of
80,400 tons In unsold stocks of the great
teel companies , Implies a production of
about 1,128,690 tons In June. Consumption
would be 1,209,030 tons nnd In the half jear
G.844,216 tons but for the fact that steel
makers have stocked heavily ngalnst orders
running through most or tlio jear , drawIng -
Ing from outside supplies , so that consump
tion may prove only 6,700,000 tons , or oven
lots. Prices nre climbing , but only for the
trifling surpliui not covered by contracts , BO
that quotations represent but nil Insignifi
cant part of the actual business. It Is of
more Importance that new cyders , though
very many , seem no longer cquar to the
weekly output , except In a few branches ,
while furnaces and other works practically
( abandoned for many years are being started
again.
Copper Is a shade weaker at IS'i cents
for lake , the government reporting the out
put In 1898 as 626.375.391 pounds. Tin la
strong , with London speculation at 28 25
cents , nnd lead Is advancing by the smelt
ing company to $4 55. The largest ship
ments of boots and shoes In any jear for the
season. 103,080 cases In two weeks , greater
by 17.4 per cent than last year , 8 C per cent
larger than In 1897 and 29.4 per cent larger
than In 1S92 , result from very extensive
pressure to anticipate orders for August or
September , distribution far exceeding ex
pectations , but there are reported with such
appeals not nearly as large , though numer
ous duplicate orders. Hemlock sole leather
sells largely , but some kinds slowl > , with a
Blight decrease In prices.
Though cotton is steady in splto of 'the
Texas floods at 6.19 cents and the general
demand for cotton goods Is full and sus
tains prices , a reduction of half n cent iu
Bomo fancy prints Is reported. Larger dis
tribution Is expected this morning and ex
port demand Increases. In wool a great
peculation Is In progress , sales In two wesRs
reaching 22,261,100 pounds , against 24,572,800
pounds In 1897 , when the buying was to an
ticipate new duties. Western frenzies some
times make eastern markets , but aa a. rule
consumers make prices In the end.
In striking contrast with otllclal nnd other
\vheat reports are the recorded receipts at
western ports , ' 8OS8,146 bushels In two
weeks , against 1,471,739 bushels last year.
It Is not strange that prices have declined
1 1-8 cents and exports , flour included , wcro
from Atlantic ports In July thus far 4,185-
014 bushels , against 4,083,312 bushels last
jear , and from 1'aclflc ports 1,010,485 bush
els , against 801,100 bushels last year , bo-
aldes 605,585 bushels this year from other
ports. Corn exports are also surprising ,
6 , 815,214 bushel's in two weeks , ngalnst
2,557,098 bushels last year , but less surpris
ing than western receipts , 10,512,541 bushels ,
against 4,561,071 bushels last jear. Never
theless the price advanced live-eighths of a
cent.
cent.Failures
Failures for the week have been 169 In
the United States , against 215 last year ,
and 24 in Canada , against 23 last year.

3Yeir Fcntnrcit In Traile Situation Arc
AlmoHt All Uniformly KavoraMc- .
NEW YORK , July 14. Bradstrcefs to
morrow will gay :
Now features In the general trade situ
ation this week are of nn almost uniformly
favorable character. So rare. Indeed , are
the disturbing features as to necessitate
considerable search to locate them. Addi
tional statistics regarding trade movements
nro certainly of an encouraging nature , fore
most among these being exceptionally good
railroad earnings returns for the first , half
of the year and ascertained totals of nn
enormous export trade , practically equal to
the phenomenal business of the preceding
fiscal year. The record of railroad receiver
ships for the first half of the year bears a
striking resemblance to the list of business
mortalities. Inasmuch ns they nro the
smallest In number reported since receiver
ships first became prominent.
Among strong news features might bo
named the qulto favorable July crop report
of the Agricultural department , which ,
while confirming earlier advices of a mod
erate yield of winter wheat , and therefore
of a smaller aggregate crop than was gath
ered last year , admitted , how over , to have
boon largely underestimated , point to a
largo acreage In corn and conditions which ,
it maintained , would easily result in a crop
in excess of 2,000,000,000 bushels. Late un
favorable reports from Russia point to a
more pronounced diminution of crop jlclds
In that country this year.
The ofllclal French crop estimates have
also been whittled down and the outlook
seems to favor the probability that Europe
will buy nearly as much wheat in America
as it did In the last Qscal year , when , it
might bo added , exports exceeded those of
tbo boom year of 1897-S. In Industrial Hues
the outlook is a promising ono. Tbo settle-
roent of the coal miners' strike In Pennsyl
vania and ot the tin plate workers' dispute
bid fair to result in nearly CO.OOO men
resuming work after the summer shutdown.
A number ot wage increases nro aUo
among the week's developments. The iron
blast furnace report for July 1 points to nn
unprecedented current weekly production ,
but avallabfe stocks of pig iron are down
to less than one week's supply. From the
Boveral centers of Industrial activity come
reports of scarcity ot labor , militating
against even more pronounced activity , Iron
nnd steel , while reflecting the summer quiet
ness to om extent in the east , are
in demand at the west and somu heavy
sales are reported at Chicago , with some
advances in itructural material. Bessemer
pig Is now slightly llttlo more than doubla
what It was one year ago. Reports nre cur
rent that flnar arrangements for booking a
large quantity of business have been closed.
The prices of tbo season are strong , staples

ary KttVi't In JlcHtrlctliiR Market.
NBW YORK , July 14. Bradstreet'fl Finan
cial Review tomorrow will uay :
A moderate view of transactions , attended
by a certain degree of strength In quotations ,
wore the reading features of the speculative
situation during the present week. What is
termed midsummer dullness has its custo
mary effect in restricting the market nnd
the comparative firmness of call loans
tended to check both manipulation on a
largo scale or the growth or public Interest ,
\VhlIc Amcrlcan stocks have been a feature
In London the unsettled speculative Inter
est there was due to troubles In South Af
rica and the advance of interest rates has
not been without a certain effect here
The remarkable fall In the price of Brit
ish consols , which on Tuesday soM at 106V4 ,
a drop of C 3-S points from the highest
quotation of the } car , could not fall to at
tract notice , though it seemed due to local
causes and failed to exercise a positively
disturbing effect on general speculation.
London , however , sold our securities to a
certain extent , partly for the reasons de
tailed above and partly because of disap
pointment , in which our own market shared ,
at tbo failure of last week's rumors of
fresh Vandcrbllt deals to materialize and of
the denial that there was anything moro
than friendly negotiations on foot between
the managements of the New York Central
and the Pennsylvania companies.
The most effective feature has been the
government crop report , published Monday ,
and which , supplemented by good accounts
of weather and other conditions at the west ,
by a heavy movement of grain on the rail
roads nnd by other Indications that rail
road trufllcs and earnings will bo well main
tained , has created a bullish feeling on the
granger nnd southwestern stock. The decla
ration by the Louisville & Nashville di
rectors of the regular 1 % per cent divi
dend for the half > ear , with an extra ono-
half of 1 per cent , and the publication of a
preliminary statement uhowing that the road
earned nearly G per cent on Its stock , also
had a good effect , which was not diminished
by confident rumors of coming dividend payments -
ments by other companies , notably by the
Chesapeake & Ohio road.
The subsidence of reports of anticipated
labor disturbances also had an Influence ,
though on Thursday Brooklyn Rapid Transit
declined on renewed rumors of troubles of
that character , A slight effect was pro
duced on prices by the news that one of the
largest of tbo American life Insurance cor
porations had decided to dispose of its holdIngs -
Ings of stocks , presumably to comply with

FORT SMITH , Ark. , July U. Ten of the
strlklnc miners were convicted In the fed
eral court today of entering a conspiracy
on the evening of July C for the purpose
of Intimidating and terrorizing the Imported
negro miners In the employ of the Kansas
nnd Texas Coal company , In violation of
the Injunction Issued by Federal Judge
Rogers , restraining the strikers from In
terfering with the company's employes.
U developed In the testimony that thp
strikers armed thcmeelvcs and searched the
homes of the negroes and took therefrom
the Winchester rifles which had been sup
plied to them by the coal company for
the purpose ot protecting themselves. The
negroes were forced at the point ot guns
to attend a public meeting , which was held
In'the city , where speeches wcro made.
Over 100 of the negroes promised that
they would quit the employ of the company
and leave the city , but they have since
changed their minds and are at work In the
mines again.

juicy watermelons nnd the children reveled
In these , and , as Mr. Clark expresses it ,
"filled up to their hearts' content. " One

CAPRICIOUS SUE PILLOW

Game Before Her Day.
STORY OF A TENNESSEE BELLE
CliniiRcd Her 311ml four Time * About
Two Men nnil Married Until
A Ilenuty ntiil n
muter.
She was not merely a belle and beauty ,
back before tbo war , this fascinating and
capricious Sue Pillow -OSIartln. She appears
to have been a new woman , born ahead of
time , Into an epoch and environment that
Irked her oven more than sno shocked them.
When the Mexican war was fought a Pil
low was a general. Naturally that added to
his social prestige. Renown was not needed ,
though , to make his eldest daughter easily
first among equals In the land of her birth.
She was pretty , she was witty , she danced
like a Wyllls , and was coquette to her finger
tips. She had lovers and love affairs by
the time she was 15. Not very serious ones ,
yet serious enough to show her quality of
imperious caprice. It was a caprice that
set her world by the cars , and Mrs. Qrundy
at defiance. Whatever she willed to do , that
she did , regardless of They Say and all his
works.
By and by joung McNalry of Kentucky
came courting her. At first she tossed her
head. In a week they were engaged , and the
wedding day set. Friends and fortune smiled
approval.It was most flt In every way.
McNalry was an only child , and his father
a rich man , withal an eminent judge. Ills
son's choice so pleased him that he resolved
to make the Infare , the bride's homo-coming ,
the most notabi'o social event In south
Kentucky history. Ho sent all the way to
New York for a family carriage , the first
closed carriage ever brought to that region.
Much of the supper was likewise ordered
from New York , also liveries for the black
coachman , the footmen and > oung Mc-
Nalry's own man.
Four fine black horses , perfectly matched
nnd bitted , drew the carriage. Everj thing
was spick nnd span when the bridegroom set
out to claim his bride. Klkton , his home
town , lies In a border county , some sixty
miles from Nashville. The Pillow home
stead was Just outside Columbia , which lies
about fifty miles duo south of the state
capltat. So It was a two-dajs' drive , but
the horses minded It no more than their
master. Thoroughbreds In perfect condition ,
they had no need of "the rest day , the feast
day and the pressed day , " allotted by the
hospitable proverb.
A Xcvr bnlnc.
It was very well they had not , since they
went home tie very next day. Miss Pillow
bad changed her mind , not about marrying ,
but as to who should be the man. A certain
Hugh Martin , newer and richer than Mc-
Nairy , had como upon the scene she was
fond of novelties and dearly loved to give
her world a sensation. She wrote McNalry
a curt dismissal and married Martin with
all the pomp and circumstance prepared for
the man ho had supplanted.
McNalry faced the changed conditions with
a sort of grim humor. He bought all the
crepe In Columbia , put horses and sen ants
in deep mourning and drove home. Tuero
he insisted that the infaro should go on just
.the same , although the brldo was consplcu-
"ously " absent. Ho said of her only that she
had exercised her undoubted privilege of
changing her mind. If others said more he
at onc& changed the conversation. Ho might
hove married a hundred times over , but
though gallant toward all women , he said he
would die a bachelor , os
Sue Pillow-Martin meantime was leading
her "new husband the merriest sort of dance.
When he came to understand that his money
had tempted her , he gave It to her to spend
like water. She flung It away with both
bands. Every week almost she drove to
Nashville and went about its finest shops
with her black maid carrying roleaux of gold
to pay for her purchases. The gold was but
one of her innumerable whims. She would
not touch sliver or paper. Doubtless had
diamonds been minted she would have de
manded diamonds.
IJncIc to the Old Lore.
Hugh Martin had married her for better
or for worse. Ho bore and forbore until she
came actually to despise him. She set her
nilnd on divorce , then and there regarded as
almost Indelible disgrace. But divorced she
would be , and divorced she was , In spite of
her father , her family , all her friends. Her
freedom proved , after a sort , a crown of
thorns. If men still crowded about her ,
there was that In the eyes and > oiccs of the
women that poisoned life came to Sue Pil
low-Martin. By way of changing all that
she whistled back her old lover , McNalry ,
and married ilm out of hand.
That would have made a seven-years' sen
sation , only the civil war came on , and not
so long after McNalry fell from a high win
dow and broke his neck. The shock almost
killed his wife. She came as near loving
him as her supreme selfishness allowed.
Trouble did not como singly her father died
about tbo same time. Both left estates much
Involved. When , a little later , the fall of
the Confederacy annihilated slave property ,
the widow found herself with straitened
prospects.
Poverty was not Imminentbut theoldlavish ,
luxurious life was forever gone. The brother
reigning In her father's stead was brotherly
Vlnd , but she was no more uprcm < . Be
sides , her world was wondering what "he
cculd or would do next. What she did do
was to write , In her brother's name , to her
divorced husband , Hugh Martin , asking for
Information In regard to some part of her
father's estate
> iimhor One CnttKht Vunln ,
Martin recognized the handwriting. He
had gone back to his old home cast Ten
nessee , nnd prospered there throughout Me-
Nalry's lifetime. War losses even left him
comparatively rich. When news cnma that
his ex-wife was again free he took to his bed ,
declaring he would never leave It alive. To
the friends who railed nt her , and begged
him not to think of her , he said humbly that
ho still loved the very earth she trod. She
might not deserve It , but he would rather
die than live to know that she had married
still another man , as she was sure to do.
So her letter came to him ns manna In the
desert. He answered 11 at once she threw
aside tllsgulfo and wrote again. The second
letter set him on his feet , although but
. a ghost of his old self.
I ! ' A third came quickly. He packed his
grip , put money In both pockets and went
I
away. In a month or less he had re
married there was again legally a Sue I'll-
low-Martin. He found her just the same ,
full of capricious luring , of swift anger and
sudden remorseful tenderness But now
she was content to sun herself In the cjes
of an adoring husband. Then there was the
child her llttlo daughter by McNalry.
Martin loved It as tenderly as though It
were bis own. That helped him with the
mother , nnd consoled him for many of the
wounds her Indifference gave. On the whole
his last marriage brought him jears of
stormy and moonlit happiness. Not so very
many jenre. His wife died , and his heart
was burled with her. He outlived her only
a llttlo while. All his fortune went to her
daughter , who grew up a gracious and
beautiful young woman , wholly lacking her
mother's lawless charm.
NEW RIVAL FOR THE KLONDIKE
Great Iliinh for > ow Rolil
Jimt ll cov ernl C\cur
Cape INoinc.
SEATTLE , Wash. . July 14 The steamer
Alliance arrived this morning from St.
Michaels , Alaska. It Is the first vessel to
arrive from the mouth of the Yukon this
season and brings advices from the newly
discovered gold field of Cape Nome.
When the Alliance left St. Michaels the
season was not far enough advanced to de
termine the future of the diggings. Pros
pectors were confident that the country
would prove very rich. Colors were found
almost everywhere throughout the zone ,
which Is thirty-five mllea square , and nearly
all available ground has been staked. In
some instances there are several claimants
to one property. As soon as warm weather
gets In and material for sluicing Is at baud
the true -value of the ground will bo known.
Pans from $2 to $4 are common. Only
one cleanup has been made thus far. It
was that of Gabo Price and Louts Lane , on
claim No. 8 , above Discovery on Anvil
creek. Four men shoveling eight davs took
out $96,000. Not a shovelful was taken from
the bed of the creek. The gold is different
from that of the Yukon in that It is quite
black , duo to iron. It runs about $18 to the
ounce. On a claim adjoining Price nnd Lane
Dr. Klttclson took $4 to the pan. There was
a great rush from St. Michaels Into the dis
trict. Town lots are selling as high aa
$1,000.
The Alliance had several passengers and
a small amount of golddust from Daw son.
The next steamer to arrive will probably
be the Roanoke , which was to have sailed
from St. Michaels June 9.
The Alliance brings news of the death of
several miners near Capo Nome. Following
are the names of six : Joe Fountain ,
Jtaynard , Groteau , < Carr , Dr. Brigham -
ham , Jack Burke.
All of the above named except Burke were
from Holyoke , Mass. , and were members of
the Rolch party. Dr. Brlgbam died from
natural causes. Carr and Burke froze to
death.
Out of n party of 100 miners at Cape
Nome , eighteen severe cases of scurvy have
developed during the winter. The strlckefl
men were mostly loaded on sledges and
hauled over the ice to St. Michaels for med
ical treatment.
Jacob Made of Canton , O. , who was a pas
senger on the Alliance , thinks that the
predictions of the richness of the Cape Nome
diggings are not to be realized. Ho said :
"On several of the claims I saw- gold
taken out , but in very small quantities.
In no instance that I know of bad bedrock
been reached. It never will bo reached un
til they can get wood In there. The only
wood in the district Is the driftwood , which
is almost as precious as gold. For six days
I investigated the camp and then came away
thoroughly convinced that the diggings wcro
by no means as rich ns reported. Hundreds
at the time I was there were flocking ! n
from Dawson. Many w 111 come out this sum
mer thoroughly disgusted. "
Among the passengers on the Alliance was
a party of ten from Lowell , Mass. , who
went into Koyakuk district last > ear. L. R.
Farrlngton , a member of the party , said :
"My candid advice is for people to stay
away from Koyakuk. The outlook Is not
encouraging. We took a party of sixteen
and left six of them there to see what
this summer's work would pan out. We do
not como back sore and disgusted with the
country , but do not believe there is not a
sufficiency of gold there to warrant a rush
Into the country. "

Every day I hear people say that they

have simply been putting It off. Did
you ever stop to think what putting It
off really means ? It means that when
you are compelled to have glasses you
will have to wear them all the time In
stead of just for reading and sowing.
It means that you will liave to change
glasses every seven or eight months as
long as you live Instead of every two

In danger every day of causing a cata
