Clear than it has K en. though rates are com paratively steady. The government crop report for July 1 was very favora ble as to cotton, showing a better con dition than in any previous year for five years, and satisfactory as to wheat, the improvement in spring having nearly balanced the Lss of condition in winter wheat. Corn is in tine condition, with small increase in acreage. From many northwestern cities social reports show distinct improvement in trade becau-e of crop prospects, which St. Paul calls the best for years. The general average of prices has advanced fully 1 per cent. The more important Manuf.irl u Show Hesitation. Ww.l receipts sire l:irge at Boston, but many mills being idle the manufactur ers do not buy freely, and sales are 2. lis.oot) iounds. At "Philadelphia dull ness lvigiis and western ifi?i:I:ets are weaker. Though still too hi.h for the views of most manufacturers. No chance is seen for improvement in prices of ...

In the iro:i business the Luo. nucy anticii :ited at Philadelphia does not appear there, and here pressure to realize keens the market, with North ern No. 1 foundry at sflT.oO and South ern at $17.00, and mill iron especially weak. Rails for fall delivery are quoted at :!l.0O. and. while mills have orders for some time to come, the present de mand tor finished products is not large. Pittsburg notes no los in price-, but slower movement. The Trattir of KallroiuU is still very large, for the last week of June about 8 ier cent., and for the month about l(i ier cent, above la-t year s, while the few reports for July show still larger gains. Definite agree ment to restore rales would give more hope, but for the reduction in rates threatened by the interstate commission, which the railroad officials declare will take more money from the companies than has been awarded in any money judgment since the world began. This, with monetary uncertainties, has made stocks hesitate, and London has been selling somewhat freely, but action on the silver bill causes A Stronger Tone and it is observed that, in spite of their wars, the railroads have not been swell ing the list of bankruptcies unusually, receiverships for the half year covering tut $47, 0O,000 of stocks and bonds of 1,380 miles, while foreclosures for the half year covered $92,000,'00 of stocks and bonds of M30 miles of road. The steady growth of the country is illus trated m the national bank reports, showing an increase since 1880 of t6 per cent, in the number of banks, 87 per oent. in deposits and 90 per cent, in loans. ISuslnem Failures throughout the country during the last seven days, number for thi United States, 175; Canada, 22; total. 197. com pared with 1,889 last week.

A petition has been started from the office of the superintendent of telegraph of the Bal timore and 0hio railroad system in this city, extending along the line to Park ersburg. W. Va., signed by every oper ator on the road, asking for an increase in salaries. Operators who are now get ting 40 per month ask for $1.60 per day, while those receiving $o0 ask for $2 per day. Sale of St. .lorieph'H Electric Koid. St. Josf.fh, Mo., July 12. The Union Electric Street railroad was sold to John S. Harris and L. B. Newcomb of New York city for $400,000. Harris and Newcomb are largely interested in the People's railroad, which has bought all of the other car lines, and this transfer gives the People's line a monopoly of the street railroads of St. Joseph. Gold Going Abroad. New York. July 12.. Foreign bank ers ordered $1,000,000 more gold, mak ing thus far $2,000,000 to go by to-day's steamer. It is expected that $10,W0,000 will be shipped next week. The move ment is understo.xl to le due to the financial crisis in Buenos Ayres. A dumber Trade Failure. Cincinnati. O.. July 12. The Stone & Iline Lumber company assigned to Walter L. I ."ranger, with liabilities of from sS-tO.OdO to jjino.noo. and assets of $100,000. The company owns extensive mills and timber Riids'in Whitely. B 11 and Kn'X munty, Kentucky and Knox ville. Tenn. The c;rt of the as.ign raent is given as c-ontiTR-d bad weather in the south, and the railroad strike - that interfered with the transportation of lumber. THK KDI CATIONAI. CONVENTION. t'oitiIerable Waru Keeling Over Presi dent Cantleld'a Action. ST. Paul, Minu., Jaly 12. The de partments of elementary education, in dustrial education and manual training and music education held meetings. President Canfield said: "Many of the teachers have been asking me if we coidd not make St. Paul the jermanent place of meeting of the association." The officers of the First rejriment, which is in camp at Lake City, Minn., came in to attend the governor's recep tion to the teachers at the state Capitol. There is considerable hot feeling over the way President Canfield shut down on the presidential discussion. Opio nents of President-elect Garrett say they will not let the matter rest. It a pilars that a year ago when thtj convention was in nession that the wifn of President Canfield wrote a letter to a friend in which reference was made not altogether complimentary in its nature as regards the southerners. This letter was published and was back to the con vention before it adjourned its session. It made the biggest kind of row, and it is now understood that the move to put Mr. Garrett in the presidential chair was made in order to placate the south ern element. It is understood that Treasurer Harris was a candidate and was the choice of a large number of del egates present. IVUKIIS AUK INAUKOIAIK. Nothing hut Ilashew Fully Ki press Sulli van'it Opinion of Mtildoon. Boston, July 12. Muldoon's letter concerning John L. Sullivan, printed in a New York paper, was shown to Sulli van. After reading it he cried: "That snake-in-the-grass has hounded me with out reason for weeks. He is a snivel ing snipe, a frog, a vijer, a scoundrelly blackguard. He calls me a liar. Why, his very letter proves him a liar of the deepest dye. He s a when he says he didn't write the letter to the southern authorities. He is a proven liar, as I saw the letter with my own eyes." Continuing, Sullivan said that his courage has been proven on inany a hard fought field, and Muldoon's re flections thereon could not hurt him. He had refused to meet that "little sneak, Kilrain," but if Muldoon could show $2.."00 in cash he might le tempted to fight. But Muldoon hasn't 2"i00 cents that are properlj- his own. It is a lie that he ever asked Muldoon to train him for the Jackson fiht. I)IKI lAMMNi. A Stubborn murderer Creates a Scene on the Oallows. Vancovek, B. C, July 12. A ghastly scene occurred at the hanging of Ed ward D. Gallagher, for the murder of Louis May. Fifteen hundred people witnessed the execution. A priest tried to talk with Galldghor on the scalfold, but the condemned man said he was not going to hang and did not care anything about eternity. When the sheriff told him he could speak he stammered out a few words about being sorry to apiear in that position. When the command was given to pinion his arms Gallagher resisted so desperately that it Took six men three minutes to secure him. After the k cap had been ad justed the sheriff asked Gallagher to be a man and tell whether he killed May. Gallagher's last words were: "Its none of your d d business." A Minister 9Iut Oefend Himself. Milwaukee, July 12. George H. Foster, who is one of the pillars of Methodism in Milwaukee and a former prominent member of the Summerfield church, has gone east to defend himself against charges preferred by Dr. A. J. Kynett of Philadelphia, secretary of the Church Extension Society of the Metho dist Episcopal church, alleging a misap propriation of missionary funds by Mr. Foster. From statements of Mr. Fos ter's friends, the charges appear to have been made through a misunderstanding of the facts In the Third Round. Elizabeth, N. J., July 12. A prize fight took place here between the heavy weights, John Dwyer of this city and William Dunn of Bayonne. Dwyer was not in very good condition. The fight was a fierce one, but although Dwyer was game he was knocked out in the third round. liobbed and Slain. New York, July 12. The body of a man was found in Flushing bay, with the head torn open by a gun shot wound.

It Is the Most Important Before the People, S( PRESIDENT HARRISON SAYS. A Letter Accepting an Invitation to At (end the National Grangers' exposition n llcpublican lay The lay In Con grs Protection for American Citizens. Carlisle, Pa., July 12. President Harrison, in his reply to the invitation attend the National Grangers' exposi tion at Williams' Grove on "Republican Day," Aug. 27, says: It will give me the greatest pleasure to accept, providing my public duties will not prevent. I have a great love for the jeople of your grand old state, aa 1 especially for the farmers, and would be pie-.i.-ed to address them 0:1 the t-.irilt" ipie--tion, so as to educate them more thoroughly as to what is necessary for their maintenance and life. The tarhf question which is now before the people is the most important question of the day, ami the people should be thor oughly educated on it. There is no doubt that the farming element of this country is the backbone of this government, or any other free goven. ment. It is necessary that they should understand this qiestion so that they can choose between free trade and pro tection one of which would be ruinous to the country and the other of which would be prosjerity to the government. This free trade ques'-.ion is a dangerous one to handle, and if it should win in 'M it would cause great distress throughout the laud something never experienced by the American people. Hoping that 1 can be with you and that my public duties will not interfere I am yours truly, Benjamin Harrison. CON ; II F.Ss I N A I. l'KOt F. K I I N CIS. Senate. Washington, July 12. Mr. Gibson argued against the proposed subsidies for ships, but in favor of moderate ps tal subsidies. He spoke of the import ance of establishing a line of steamship; to trade with the Congo couutry; of building a government dry dock at New Orleans, and of reforming the tarit by a.iiniUiiig commodities from tne Soui.i American states at lower rates of duties. But there was nothing, he said, more destructive of the shipping interest- than an attempt to tax the farmers and producers of the country in order to supply funds for shipbuilders. Mr. Coke stated some of the reasons why he opposed the bill to grant sub sidies in aid of the merchant marine. That proposition, he said, commenced at the surface and not at the root of the trouble. The cause which had, from 1.V to 18fii. pulled down the carrying trade of the American merchant marine to 75 per cent, of imports and exports to lo per cent., was not a surfaew cause or a casual catise. The first great leading cause of the decadence had been the substitution of iron and steel ships fcr v .lit-. i chips. To that original eau-e had been added the legislation that for bade American citizens from buying foreign built ships and the tariff legisla tion that tended to isolate the United States from other nations in regard to international trade. Mr. Vest offered as a substitute lor the bill as to the American merchant marine a provision for free ships, to le used only in the foreign carrying trade, not in the coastwi-e or lake trade. The bills went .er without action, and the senate adjoured. House. Mr. Perkins of Kansas presented the conference report of the bill granting the right of way across the Mille Lacs Indian reservation to the Little Falls, Mille Lacs and Lake Superior Railroad company. Further proceedings under the call were dispensed with and tiie conference report was adopted 100 u 69. Mr. Conger of Iowa presented the con ference report on the silver bill. Mr. Bland raised the question of con sideration, on which the vote was 104 to 114. This was a strict party vote, ex cept that Mr. Rogers of Arkansas voted iu the affirmative so that he might move a reconsideration. This motion was made useless by the discovery that no quorum was present. A call of the house was then ordered, and 104 members (more than a quorum) responded. On suggestion of Mr. Blount of Geor gia, it was agreed to debate the confer ence report four hours. the previous ques tion to be considered as ordered at the end of that time. At 4:25 the house took a recess until 8 o'clock, the evening session to be de voted to private pension bills. Protection for Americans. Washington, July 12. Information has been received in this city that trouble is imminent bet wee :i Salvador and Guatemala, arising on', of the re cent change in the govern. nut f the former country. It being thought advisable to have some American war vessels near at hand, orders were issued for the United States steamers Ranger and Thetis, now at San Francisco, to proceed at once to the wet coast of Central America. These vessels will not be expected to interfere in the troubles between the two countries ex cept in so far as may be necessary for the protection of American interests, and to afford a place of refuge to Ameri can subjects in case it should be re quired. The Election Bill. Washington, July 12. Speculation on the possible action of the caucus to be held to-night or Monday was very vigorous. Republican senators are di vided in their opinions. Some of them do not believe that the change in the rules which, it is conceded, is a neces sary preliminary to the passage of the election bill, will be agreed to in the caucus. The majority of the senators present at the caucus Thursday night favor such a change, and a gi-eat many Republican senators were very positive in the expression of a belief that the federal election bill will le passed. The Democratic members of the senate ex press the confident belief that the bill will not be taken up. In this vague condition the subject must remain until another caucus is held.
