particularly for wire pipe and atructural
rnaterlala, la large. Prfcee, aa a rule, ahow
Ittle change, but the tendency la atlll
downward and concessions to Induce busi

tain quarters. Pittsburg reports that no
Increase appears In new business, although
there waa a good total In ateel bars, but
prices are not firm, $1.40 being quoted for
contracta, a reduction of tl per ton.
Spring openlnga on wootenn and worsteda
have not been attended with any keen buy

conaervatlva.
New ordera for footwear come In slowly.
J.I t lie New England plants are fairly well
engaged, and manufacturer have a con

business Is consummated to advance the
market about half a cent on all varieties.

ug cuppen Lame Message.
QUKBfcC, Aug. t. Conflict between In
spector Dew of Scotland Yard and the
Quebec provincial authorities may follow
the action of the latter today In discon
tinuing a privilege tha Inspector hereto
fore ha enjoyed that of supervising per
sonally the delivery of cable messages to
Dr. Hawley H. Crlppen and Ethel Leneve.
The local authorities took till action today
during the absence from the city of Inspec
tor Dew.
It was learned by Premier Oouln that two
messages addressed to Crlppen and Miss
Lencv were held at th jail, not to be
delivered until the Inspector could first sea
them. Orders were Immediately Issued to
Governor Mortn of the Jail to deliver ths
messages at once. There seems to b a dls
position on the part of the local authori
ties to resent the prerogatives the Scotland
Yard men have assumed and which were
not dlHputed before, apparently because
the Quebec police were not quite sure of
tholr grounds.

BRAD8TKKKT' REVIEW OF TRADE
Reports Are atlll Unlet la Fall De
mand aa Rale.
NEW YORK, Aug. .-Bredetreef to
day says:
Trad reports are still quint In fall de
mand, thouah the advance of the sesson
and th force of crops toward harvest has
aided in enlarging jobbing demand at some j
Important western centers. Chlcajro and
Ht. Louis show the flrat of the fall Jobbing
excursions, helping to expand trade at those
points, while the rather better results of
spring wheat harvest are evoking more
optimistic reports from northwestern cen
ters. Buying is still conservative, however.
Retail trade la still confined largely to
clearanoe sales of summer goods at con
cessions. At the east there is slightly mor
doing in soma lines for fall.
Wheat, Including ftour, exports from th
United States for the week ending August
4 aggregate 1,276,730 bushels, against 1,240,74
laat week and 1,634,568 thla week last year.
For th five week ending August 4 ex
ports are 6,328,743 bushels, against 6,928.2.s
In th corresponding period last year. Corn
exports for the week are 419,614 bushels,
'nAAlnst 115,821 last week and 68,677 In 1909.
Mr th five weeks ending August 4 corn
'export are 1,717,626 bushels, against 383,104
last year.
Cotton good feel the effects of mill cur
tailment In Increased steadiness of prices
and raw wool of flees grades Is still active
despite th rather sharp advances noted
laat week. Collections as yet show lltti
'improvement and are slow as a whole.
In leading Industries there are few new
' feature. Building returns for July show
a heavy decrease from a year ago, much of
. which Is, however, accounted for by the
reduction at the metropolis, and there are
till more gain than loasea at th country'
clUea a compared with the midsummer
month a year ago. Iron and steel are
quiet and th leading lntareat reports that
price will not be cut. but - some western
markets report price concessions In finished
. line. Demand for automobile and ma
terlala therefor 1 reported less active.
Business failures In the United States for
th week ending August 4 were 164 In th
United States, against 1M last week, 14 In
th ilk week of 19W, In law, 157 in lvi
and 137 in uwe.

Much trouble Is being had in Kimball
county over th cutting of Un fences. This
grows out of the fencing across section
line which are especially set apart as high
ways and is a part ot the friction that
usually develop In connection with th
establishment of roads In settling up new
country. The Be recently had some refer
ence to on case and now a correspondent
writes some details of others.
Th case referred to was that of J. A.

count of a north and south road having
been established. E. J. Pester Is road super

th Slmones fence. One other party was
