Unseasonably high tem perature at many points, especially In the east, stimulated trade In wearing apparel and other summer merchandise to an un usual degree, but had a most unsatisfac tory effect upon vegetation, which was promp supplU promptly renectea in aiminisnea oraer ior e ana in some cases inert were can- i.. I i r ton BUI More conservatism was shown at the In terior, where agricultural progress met with check and, while no serious injury to the great staple crop Is yet reported, the delay to the plantlag induces caution among dealer. on the whole there are fewer ware- earners voluntarily idle, yet the spirit of unrest ha caused the abandonment of some new enterprises and postponement of others, whicn mean less aemana ior struc tural materials and labor. Payments are also lesa prompt, time often being asked where formerly cash trans actions for a sllaht discount were the rule. Aside from these two adverse factors, the trade is favorable, -and with average weather and Industrial peace there la every prospect of continued prosperity through out tne country.

There Is no evidence of diminished activity as yet. and In many cases prompt deliveries are urged, but a the Increased changing to plants nearer their orders continue, buyers are less eager to place contracts.

A. still more encouraging sign I the greater Interest displayed by buyers. Warm weather stimulates dry goods for quick delivery. Prints are firm and, while there la no demand for regulars, odd goods are sought freely. Reduced output of worsteds has strength ened the tone and the recent advanced ? rices for carpets hava not prevented large ransactlons. There is no sign of reaction In the foot wear Industry. Leather Is steady at re cent advances. Late salted packer hides are active and higher, the general range of quotations at Chicago being materially higher. Foreign dry hides are steady, ar rival meeting with prompt absorption. Failures this week are 181 In the United Btates, against 192 last year, and 14 In Can ada, compared with 12 a year ago. CNDERLYISQ CONDITIONS BETTER. Bradstreet Find Fairly Oood Condl tloas Prevailing-. NEW YORK. May 22. Bradstreefs to morrow will say: While underlying conditions have Im proved as a whole, there is still room for betterment In weather, crop and labor mat ters. Retail trade has been stimulated by summer wear, but wholeaale bualneas halts, pending further developments affecting fall trade. Collections have Improved at a num ber of large cities. Railway earnings ar as good aa ever reported. Gross receipts for the first half of May Indicate a 14 per cent Increase over last year, while returns for March show the sig nificant Increase of IS per cent on net and a corresponding Increase on gross. Iron la drooping, largely because buyers ars hold ing off on future purchases. Stocks don't accumulate, however, and consumers are Insistent for deliveries on old orders. Much Importance Is attached to the possible ac tion by the leading Interests as regards Its supply of Iron for the second half of the year. , Steel Is firm at th west, but re-sales of foreign? ateel at eastern markets led to an easier feeling In the market for billets. Finished products sr In good demand, the wage scale in the tlnplate trade haa been settled for another year, and the demand for hardware Is very active, an element of Importance in the present state of the mar ket. Borne of the less favorably affected trades are lumber, which notes the effect of the building trade troubles; silk manufacturing at Paturson Is slack at present and men's wear woolens, which are still halting as re gards fail orders. Cotton manufacturing Is ciuimea io oe unprontaDie at present prices. Stocks of cotton goods In western markets have been marked up In price. New business Is small with the mills, but the Jobbers are making money because of active retail demand. The shoe and leathor trades are In fairly good shape. The sugar market is steady. The eastern small fruit and vegetable crops have been Injured by the drouth, thus hurting the de mand for refined sugar. Wool la steady, with old supplies small, and new wool held firmly at an advance on last year's clip.

Around, it clusters all that Is Inspiring and ennobling in national life. Under our form of government It guaran tees civil and religious liberty, equality be fore the law, and represents true progress In the world of thought and action. It stands for peace and yet is a warning to tyranny and oppression, pledging the na tion's power 4n the enforcement of Juetlce. It waves In unstained glory over more than 70,000,000 of prosperous and contented peo ple and welcomes to its sheltering folds the oppressed of other lands those who ap preciate the blessings of liberty and are willing to subscribe to the principles upon which their perpetuity la based. It Is most fifing that our attention should occasion ally be challenged to the significance of tho flag and to- the lessons of patriotism and honor which it Imparts. In harmony, therefore, with a worthy custom which Is generally prevalent among the states of the union, 1 hereby designate and proclaim Monday, June 15, 1903, as Flag day, being the 12fith anniversary of the birth of the flag, and enjoin upon the cltl- ens of Nebraska that the day be observed bv oarticlDatlon In such exercises and ceremonies as shall honor the national em blem and beget for It renewed love ana veneration in the hearts of the people.

Since the closing of the saloon th ftrst of the month the local authorities hav been puxzled by the presence of liquor, which was evidently being doled out In several sections of the city. A rigid In vestigation satisfied Marshal Todd as to the offenders and he at once swore out a warrant for the arrest of a well known young man who has for a long time been existing without visible Oieans of support. In some manner the accused was given a tip, however, and left the city on a night train for parts unknown. A deputy United States marshal was also In the city yes terday looking up some other alleged vlo latlons of the liquor law. So far as known, however, he took no definite action con cerning the case.
