ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK
MoSt Phases of the Business World.
Indicate Improvement.’
BETTER CROP PROSPECTS.
There Are Also Indications of a Large
Foreign Demand—The Iron and Steel
Market—An Advance In Stocks.
Failures of the Week.
New York, July 17.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s
weekly review of trade says:
,Excepting the great coal miners’
strike, which may terminate at any
time, there is scarcely a. feature of the
business outlook which is not encour-
aging, the season considered. Crop
prospects have been improved by need—
ed rains in some regions, and foreign
advices continue to promise a large de-
mand. In'many home industries, par-
ticularly in building, there is more ac-
tivity than in any year since 1892, and
the week has brought a. better demand
in boots and shoes and in woolens, while
the movement of freight, mainly iron
ore, through the Sault Ste. Mariecanal
istthe largest in its history. With mon-
ey markets unclouded, there is nothing
in sight to hinder rapid improvement
when uncertainty about legislation has
been removed, for the miners’ strike
could not last long if business and in-
dustries should become active. There
is much less apprehension of a failure
of fuel supply than there was during
the- first few days when prices rapidly
advanced.
The advance in wheat to 80 cents was
not due to the government estimate,
which was followed by a decline, but
to foreign advices and considerable
buying for export. Demand is already
felt from Australia, South Africa, Bra-
. 211 and even Argentina, while the prom-
. ise for European crops is not considered
bright. The disposition of farmers to
‘ ,keep back wheat for higher prices may
I. affect the outward movement, but At-
‘ lantic exports during July, flour in-
cluded, have been 3,115,443 ‘bushels
against 2,953,817 last year, although in
the. same weeks 4,659,315 bushels corn
Went out against 1,574,072 last year.
Wheat closed 21/5 cents higher for the
week and corn half a. cent IOWer. Cotton
is unchanged in spot price, the closing or
partial stoppage of important New
England mills neutralizing in market
estimation the apprehensions of injury
from drought.
New York’s Exports.
In spite of large purchases for ex-
port, 'the actual exports of products
from New York for two Weeks have
been 15 per cent less than last year, but
the official report shows exports in June
of the principal products amounting to
$38,153,459 against $36,985,511 last year,
and for the fiscal year $644,491,113
against $547,981,412 the year before, a
gain of 17.6 per cent, breadstuffs in-
creasing $53,000,000 and cotton $40,000,—
000. There are still heavy imports, at
New York 47 per cent more than last
year for two weeks of July, sugar and
wool, tobacco and hides being promi-
nent, with a rather unusual quantity
of. cotton, but assurance of greatly re-
duced imports in the near future and
of heavy exports causes a. free saying
of exchange’against crops to go for-
ward.
The cotton goods market does not yet
. reduce large accumulated stocks, as the
curtailment of production shows, but is
growing a little more healthy without
change in prices. Woolens for the com-
ing season have not been generally
shown. though on some ‘low priced
goods advances of 71,43 per cent are
asked, and presumably will be asked
on better grades. There is rather more
business in reorders, and the tone is.
more confident. Speculation in the wool
market continues with prices at all
points stronger, at Boston advancing,
with signs of a boom among dealers, in
which manufacturers are taking little
part, at current prices, and at the west,
where holders are looking fer a. great
advance.
‘ Iron and Steel.
The output of iron furnaces July 1
was 164,064 tons weekly against 168,380
June 1, but several furnaces have gone
into blast since July 1, and the output
is large for the season. Presumably an
unprecedented share of it is to supply
the great steel companies, which are
even now putting more furnaces into
blast and have heavy orders taken when
prices were dropped, while the demand
for structural shapes and plates is large
and for bars improving, though steel
bars are now at the lowest quotation
lever known in Pittsburg, 871/2 to 90
cents, with bessemer pig quoted slight—
ly lower. Tin plates are also lower at
~ $3.10 for full weight and less than $3 is
paid for 100 pound- boxes. .
The stock market has steadily ad-
vanced, the average rising slightly ev-
ery day in spite of some large» selling).
25,000 shares early in the Week on Lon-
don account, most of which London
bought back later. The close averaged
57 cents per share higher than a week
ago. Coal stocks were strengthened by
the change in Lehigh and thetrust de-
cision, and granger stocks by drop pros-
pects and the increased dividend of the
Great Northern. Foreign exchange was
not much affected, though the Sugar
company bought largely, and an order
for gold exports at I. 1-32 profit was re-
fused by many concerns to which it was
offered. Money still comes in from the
interior, $1,250,000 net for the week, and
there is a better demand for commercial
loans, both on manufacturing paper and
from dry goods exporters. Failures for
the week have been 263 in the United
States against 269 last year and 27 in
Canada against 35 last year.
Suicide of an Atlanta Merchant. ,
Atlanta, July 17.—Emanue1 Rich, I
members of the firm of M. Rich & Bros,
one of the largest dry goods and furni-
ture houses in the south, committed sui-
cide (at his home in this city today by
cutting his throat with a‘ fruit knife.
He escaped from the surveillance under
which he had been placed and succeed-
ed in cutting his throat after four at.-
tempts with a dull knife. ‘
Lottie Collins Gets Damages.
London, July 17.—An action brought
by Lottie Collins, the music hall singer,
against the London publication Society
was decided today in favor of the plain-
tiff. The paper described Miss Collins’
song, “The Little Widow,” as vulgar.
' inss Collins sued the paper, and the jury
today awarded‘her £25 damages. The
case will be appealed. .

Many Norwalk People Give
Expression to it and with
Geod Reason.
The remarkable cures accomplished
in Norwalk during the last seven
months are something to astonish and
convince the most skeptical. No won-
der the people believe in it; no wonder
a prominent druggist lately said: ‘Be-
lief in California Catarrh Cure is an.
article of faith in the Norwalks, be-
cause people know for themselves,with-
out regard to what any interested
parties say, of cures it has wrought
among their friends and neighbors. ”
Why ! People have suffered for years,
and never dreamed they could get any
relief by using anything and some day
a friend says: “California Catarrh
Cure cured me, it will cure you, and
you won’t have to wait to find out about
it either. It relieves at once. ”
Here are the words of one of your
neighbors now, telling why she be-
lieves in it. You know that it is true
because you know her.
Mrs. John Lycett, 21 High street,
N orwalk, says: “My daughter, Violet,
has been troubled since childhood with
catarrh, until her whole head seemed
more or less diseased. She had be-
gun to be a little deaf, and suffered
much with severe headaches so that
we have had to keep her out of
school a good deal. I sent
her to Plaisted’s drug store, South Nor-
walk after a bottle of California Catarrh
Cm‘e and she commenced usingit. , Its
beneficial effects have been simply
wonderful. It has helpbd her from the
first in every way. I have not heard
her complain of a headache for a long
time, and by the time she has finished
her first bottle, I feel confident that
she will be cured. ”
Hay fever is entirely prevented by
the use of this wonderful medicine,
and when it is used colds never “ hang
on, ” but disappear promptly. For all
mucous diseases. All dealers, 50 cents,
three times as much, one dollar.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilmot Thornton of
Brooklyn are visiting at the home of
Eugene Smith at South Norwalk.

A $30,030,000 SUIT.»
The Ownership or a Valuable Colorado
I . Mine at Issue. ~
_ Denver, July 17.—A suit invoivir: 330,-
000,000 is in progress in the United
States court here and arguments are be-
ing heard on the ’ demurrer to the
ard S. Ballou and Alex MoLay of New
York. The defendants are Clinton B.
Reed, John F. Campion and others in-
terested in the‘Ibex Mining‘company of
Leadville. Ballou and McLay were in-
terested in claims adjoining the Little
‘Johnny, embraced in the Archer consoli-
dation, of which Clinton B. Reed was
made trustee. In 1890 a lease of the
property for three years was granted
to John F. Campion, who formed the
Ibex Mining company.
The Little Johnny was purchased out-
right. In June, 1893, an extension for
three years was askéd, which was grant—
ed on condition that all of the other ben—
eficiaries claiming to be former oo-own-
ers of claims included in the Archer con-
solidation gave their consent. The Ibex
owners claimed to have this consent.
This extension ran out on June 29, 1896,
since which time the Ibex has continued
to hold and operate the claims and
mines without any pretense to a lease.
The plaintiffs claim that the extension
was illegal and that the property has
been worked since June 29, 1893, with—
out title, and they therefore asldthat an
accounting" be ordered and name the
sum of $30,000,000 as the amount due
them.
The demurrer which is being argued
is made on the ground that, having giv-
en the lease, the plaintiffs cannot bring it
into a. court of equity. There are many
affidavits in connection with the case,
some of which are from the soldiers who
guarded the Little Johnny during the
strike and say there is one body of ore
in the mine almost in one lump that
contains over $5,000,000.
