At the meeting of the Iowa Rifle associa tion today with Adjutant General Thrift it was found that the dates for the state shoot, which has been decided upon for the guard, may have to- be changed to a laer date In August, probably to the 30th, because of failure of the contractors on the government rifle range to complete the work before that time. Attorney General Mullan has given to General Thrift an opinion In which he holds that twenty of the members ef the National Guard have been legislated out of office by the new guard law and will have to be ap pointed by the regiment commanders. This is In keeping with the opinion of General Thrift, who discovered the mistake in the law home weeks ago. The mlstage Is a tech nical one and In making the surgeons reg imental officers Instead of department ofll cers, the present officers will have to be reappointed. General Thrift today notified all regiment commanders to make the ap pointments at once. Grain Dealers Dlsraes Itoates.

OUTLOOK IS GENERALLY FAVORABLE Only Clond oa Herlson Is Possible Interference of l.ake Strike with Prodnctlen of Pig Iroa. NEW YORK, May 4 !t. (1. Dun Co s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: The vfblent decline In prices of securities Is no criterion of business conditions. Rail way earnings have continued to surpass those of corresponding periods in any pre vious year, the gain for April being 91 per cent over the same month of 1!5 and other standards of measurement make equally gratifying exhibits. Liabilities of failures last month showed a decrease of over 40 per cent In manufac turing and 12 per cent in trading branches of business as compared with the previous year. The only drawbacks regarding the future are the labor controversies and the stringency In the money market, neither of which may prove of more than tempor ary duration. Manufacturing plants re port little idle machinery and trade tn seasonable merchandise feels the Impetus of settled weather. Foreign commerce for the last week shows gains of 1 1 ,1"f. fT 2 in exports and U. 943,729 In imports, as com pared with the same week last year. Com modity prices sre well maintained by a good demand and the crop outlook Is fully as bright as usual at this date, while in many departments an Increased acreage. Is under cultivation. Of greatest Importance to the iron and steel Industry of all events of the past week was the strike of 'longshoremen on ' the lake water front. If this struggle la not soon settled It will become Impossible to maintain pig Iron production at the highest rate on record. Otherwise the strikes on May 1 Were not of sufficient magnitude to affect the progress of the steel business. Textile mills maintain ac tivity, although new business comes for ward slowly. Tanners evince a disposition to operate more conservatively, which has checked the upward tendency of hides. Leather has developed some Irregularity, hemlock soles holding firm,. while union and oak barks are neglected. Manufacturers of footwear occupy a moat Independent position because of the liberal contracts now unfilled. Failures this week In the United States are 2U against 115 last week and 212 the corresponding week iBSt year. Failures in Canada number 21 against 20 last week. 18 the preceding week and 22 laat year. REPORT or THIS ILBARING HOCftB Traaaactlaas of tha Associated banks for the Week.

May 4.-Bradstret's to niorrow will say; Reports of active retail and Jobbing trade, of immense, In fact unprecedented buildlt T operations and teally excellent crops, lu. nlsh a sharp contrast to the weakness of the country's central market for securities. This latter reflects liquidation due to past excesses by a comparatively small number of operators, not apparently, as In otn past years, generally shared In by the ruh 11c at large. Continued favorable weatln-l has allowed good progress in planting, thh . germination of crops, tha enlargement iT country retail trade, improved re-ordets fur summer goods and the placing with con fidence of a volume of fall orders fully equal to a year ago. Collections also have measurably improved. Eastern money fnr legitimate business needs Is likewise f. re shadowed. Railway earnings are large... clearings still make records for this sea son of the year and call for replacement at Ban Francisco Is a feature helpful to trade In many lines. There are, of cjurse, some few unfavorable features. The coal strike still hangs fire and minor troubles due to untonlstlc movements on the lakes and In a few cities, the recrudescence In a mild form of May day strikes, are all elements to be reckoned with. Business failures In the United States are small in number for the week ending May I, only 139, against 177 lait week, 197 In the like week of 1905, 17 in 1904, 175 la 1908 and 17 In 1902. Corn exports for the week are 1,036,316 bushels, against 1,428.921 bushels last week, 2.716.676 bushels a year ago, 628.461 bushels In lf04 and 1,631,709 bushels in 19ut.
