New York, Aug. 21.—R. G. Dun & Co’s weekly review of txt‘g'ie says: Not for several years have e telegraphic reports from various cities in all parts of the country been as encouraging or shown as uniform improvement as this week. The markets are called crazy by some, but fairly represent the people Whose confidence in the future is strong and increasing. Nothing appears to check it. Rumbrs of injury to crops are not sufficiently supported to have much influence. The one temporary hindrance is the strike of bituminous coal miners, which interferes as yet litt avith in- dustries and seems likely to L‘Irminate within a week. Fluctuations in the stock and .produce markets do not alter the fact that, on the Whole, they are still tending upward. The demand for money improves, taking from New York to the interior about $500,000 more than was received during the week, and offerings of commercial loans are much larger, including considerable iron and steel paper, and the course of foreign ex; change is generally interpreted as an indication that specie imports cannot be long delayed. The Bank of England has acquired such control of the outside market that i! does not advance its rates, confident that for a time it can oblige France or Germany to meet de- mands from this country, but offerings of American bills against products to be forwarded are very heavy. The greatest gain has been for agri- culture. price, but is moving very largely, so that the last year’s surplus may soon be marketed, unless the new crop turns out better than many now expect. Cot- ton stands without change, although a respectable estimate promises the lar- gest crop ever grown, for the goods mar- ket is decidedly improving, and some of the large mills, after a few weeks of suspension, have resumed Work. Other farm products are doing well also, but wheat has advanced about 6 cents for the week on actual transactions, with heavy purchases for export. The Stock Market. The stock market has taken and paid for about 50,000 shares of stock sent over by European dealers and has sus- tained a series of well concerted at- tacks by some of the most powerful in- fluences in the street, and still yields nothing to speak of. ‘The average for the 60 most active railway stocks is 36 cents per share lower than last Friday, but of trust stocks 25 cents per share higher. The confidence of holders is sustained by earnings, which for Au- gust thus far exceed last year’s by 10.8 per cent and are only 5.3 per cent small— Chicago, Boston.

Tin is firmer, with full consumption, and there is larger business in copper, several million pounds having been taken for export, raising the price of lake to 11%, cents. Boots, Shoes, Etc. The old difficulty remains in the boot and shoe industry, dealers being unwill- ing to ,buy largely at the prices which manufacturers now ask, though during the past week the only change has been a. slight advance on calf boots. The shipments from the east have been the smallest for three weeks of August in any year since 1893, but are a little larger than in 1892. Leather is held very stifily, with great confidence that the future demand will justify prices now asked. The market for hides at Chicago is again much stronger, prices having advanced with very narrow transac- tions, and buyers are holding off in the belief that prices have reached the top. In the woolen business a constant in- crease appears ln the number of estab- lishments at work, and the demand for goods has much increased. There is .

They are sure to find you out: and every time a man is fooled an- other skeptic is made. Skepticism is allowable when reading in a home newspaper about some incident occur- ring in San Francisco or Iowa, but the ciicumstances are entirely different when it refers to some one right here at home, friends and neighbors, people you know, whom you can see, and with whom you can talk it over. This is the kind of evidence at the back of Doan’ s Kidney Pills—home statements by home people, and the astonishing local work they have been doing, has caused more talk among our citizens than the doings of any othel modern wonder.

Presence Iof the Chief Magistrate of the Nation Lent Eclat to the Occasion. City of Collars and Cufl's Elab- ’ orately Decorated. Troy, Aug. 21.—From one end to the other this city is gay with buntin‘g in celebration of the twenty-eighth re- union of the Society of the Potomac Public buildings, stores and dwellings bid a welcome in a mass of national colors. From early morning hosts 01 national guardsmen and veterans came in on various trains as the city’s guests. Every public hall, and in some cases private buildings, had been turned into temporary armories for their accommo- dation. By noon fully 3, 000 participants in the celebration had joined with thou- sands of spectators from the surround— ing cities in filling the streets. The arrival in the city during the early hours of the morning of President McKinley was the first feature of the day that attracted attention. President McKinley and Secretary Al- ger arirved in the city at 9:30 o’clock on President Olyphant’s private car at- tached to the regular train which left Plattsburg last night. At the depot he was met by Adjutant General Tilling- hast and Governor Black’s military sec- , retary, Colonel Treadwell. There was a crowd and plenty of cheering, but the president refused to speak and entered a carriage and was driven at once to the Troy House, which will be his head- quarters. At 10 o’clock he was taken with his party to see the most novel of the city's sights to him, a great collai factory, with over 2,000 girl and women employees at work. A Mammoth Parade. Following» closely upon the arrival oi President McKinley the various army corps composing the Army of the Poto- mac met independently at the headquar- ters established for” them and held anti; business meetings. The corps compris- ing the Army of the Potomac were the Third, Second, Twelfth, Ninth, Fifth. Eleventh and Sixth. The parade in honor of the president. and the Army of the Potomac was one of the largest ever seen in Troy, nearly 1,800 national guardsmen beng in line and about 1,000 survivors of the late war The three national guard companies 01 Troy acted as escort to the presidential party and Governor Black and staff. The national guard companies taking part in the parade were the Tenth bat— of Albany, the Twenty-first Sixth and Twelfth Separate companies of Troy, the Seventh Separate company of Cohoes, the Thirty-second Separate company of Hoosic Falls, the Ninth of Whitehall, the Fourteenth of Kingston. the Eighteenth of Glens Falls, the Six- teenth of Catskill, the Thirty-third 01 Hudson, the Twenty-first of Mohawk and the Forty-sixth of Amsterdam.
