TRADE CONDITIONS.
R. G. Dun A Co. Report Hmtlnens
Good.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—R. G. Dun &
Co.’* weekly review of trade says:
Business is well maintained aside
from the quieting Influence of the va
cation season, which somewhat re
stricts trade and retards collections.
Making due allowance for the period,
there Is no cause for complaint. The
adverse factors that hnve been operat
ing against prosperity in recent preced
ing weeks are no longer as potent, nor
mal Influences gradually prevailing.
Labor controversies still exist, curtail
ing the output of a few products and
the consumption of all the necessaries
of life. Crops are not going to market
ns f/eely as usual, although the agri
cultural outlook is distinctly favorable.
In spite of several obvious reasons for
expecting a check to freight traffic
earnings of railways thus far reported
in August show an average gain of 9.0
per cent over last year and 18.2 per
cent over 1901.
Merchandise Is in good demnnd at
Boston, business in some quarters is
above the average for August, and the
footwear Industry continues fully occu
pied. Building operations are large,
and a healthy tone is evident in whole
sale trade nt Baltimore, while the fall
outlook Is unusually bright.
Liabilities of commercial failures
thus far reported for August aggregat
ed $0,905,185, of which $5,151,151 were
In manufacturing, $1,733,747 in trading
and $80,287 In other commercial lines.

Evans’ guardian that the young man
had asked the girl to accept the ring
and marry him ns soon as possible,
promising to break his engagement
with Miss Weart of Pittsburg.
Mrs. Bierlng did not know whether
the ring had been accepted by the girl
Ar iia! hnt nffnr T?rona' Ka/1 it Itorl Knnn

Japan May Have a Shy at the Cnp
Neat Tima.
HIGHLANDS, N. J., Aug. 22.-“Oth
ers may hold differently, but I am bet
ter satisfied and surer of the boat than
I have ever been before.”
That was what Sir Thomas Llpton
said after a night’s reflection on the
race fiasco. He was on board the Erin
lying in the bight of Sandy Hook bay.
The Irish baronet was in the best of
humor and pleased with the showing
the new and third challenger for the
"blue ribbon of the seas” made.
"Shamrock III. did tho better work
while there was any wind,” be con
tinued. "She showed her speed and
quality.
“The treatment I have received here
has been marvelous. The kindness and
cordiality with which I have been
treated has almost overcome me. At
times I am positively embarrassed.”
The Japanese flag will fly at the
masthead of one of the next chal
lengers for the famous cup which Sit
Thomas Llpton Is trying so hard to
lift. So says Lieutenant Commander
Isam Tnkeshira of the Imperial Japan
ese navy, who was one of the guests on
the Erin at the first race. He declares
he will interest Influential men in his
country to preijitre at once to build n
racer to enter /the next International
contest. /
Commander/Takeshlra said:
“Japan wlfl try to lift the cup.
Twenty-five jpsars ago Japan knew lit
tle about building ships. Now we can
build war ships as good ns those built
in America,' and we can turn out
yachts that! will compare favorably
with the challenger and defender in the
present series of races.
Charles D. Mower, measurer of the
New York Yacht club, It Is reported,
will make, another official visit to the
Shamrock' III. on Monday. This visit
Is for a rbmeasurement of the challen
ger’s load1 water line length. The result
of the new measurement, it is said,
would apply to the race today—that is,
instead of the challenger's time allow
ance being lm. 57s., as understood, It
will be'the difference obtained by the
corrected load water line length, and
that will be several second less.
The wind at Sandy Hook this morn
ing was from the southwest, twelve
miles an hour. The weather was clear
and the sky cloudless. The Indications
wen* thut the wind will hold through
out , the day and enable the cup racers
to finish.
