the week covered by the above will be
given next Saturday.
We cannot furnish them to-day,
clearings being made up by the clearing houses at noon on
Saturday, and hence in the above the last day of the week
has to be in all cases estimated, as we go to press Friday
night.
We present below our usual detailed figures for the previous week, covering the returns for the period ending with
Saturday noon, July 13, and the results for the corresponding week in 1900, 1899 and 1898 are also given. Contrasted
with the week of 1900 the total for the whole country shows
a gain of 56*2 per cent. Outside of New York the increase
over 1900 is 19-5 per cent.

The adjourned conference last Saturday between

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

the

A

moat satisfactory event this week has been the announcement made by Mr. J. P. Morgan indicating the
complete settlement of the differences between leading capitalists with reference to Northern Pacific control.
The facts disclosed are important not only as
affecting that property, but because giving such emphasis to the vitality and vigor of the peace policy esIt is, too, an interesting
tablished between railroads.
and encouraging feature that the result brings out
again so clearly Mr. Morgan's position and influence
as the leading advocate and promoter of the broadest
kind of harmony in railroad affairs and between
leading railroad owners.
Except as he is interested in this reign of
peace, and that the
gentlemen he has selected to represent the Northern
Pacific interests are in that view the

seems that the execution of the agreement between all the parties that had become involved in the
Northern Pacific tangle (which agreement was noticed
in our columns the first day of June and again more
fully one week later) was not accomplished until the
31st of May 1901, although the panic occurred on the
ninth of that month. According to its terms (as we
at the time stated on the authority of J. P. Morgan &
Co. and Kuhn, Loeb & Co.) the composition of the
Board of Directors of the Northern Pacific Kailway
was left in Mr. Morgan's hands. Another fact the
agreement contained, which is now for the first time
made public, was the appointment of Mr. William K.
Vanderbilt as referee to act in case of a difference of
view occurring among the gentlemen now nominated
by Mr. Morgan as the new members of the board to
fill the vacancies to be created.

It

Workers and the representatives of two companies,
members of the United States Steel Corporation,
broke up in a disagreement. No other result was
possible when it became apparent that the President
of the association of

workers made "Unionism" the

preliminary issue of a settlement; that is obvious,
because the President could not define his proposed

compromise in any other way than by accepting the plain meaning of the word used as descriptive
of the new relations demanded by him between the
officials of a mill and their employes.
To thus adopt as the policy of the United States

be hired by any mill in the combination who was not
a member of the union, and (2) that all of the present workers who were not members and refused to
become members of the union should be discharged,

calls for $718,242.

There was no change in the official rates of discount
by any of the European banks this week, and, with
the exception of London, unofficial rates at all the
centres were easy.
There was a firmer tone in the discount market at the British capital early in the week,
followed by an easier feeling. The Bank of Bengal
at Calcutta and the Bank of Bombay at Bombay reduced
their rates of discount from 4 per cent to 3 per cent.
One feature in London during the week was the announcement on Tuesday by the Bank of England of
the withdrawal of the issue of £3,000,000 in India 3

The notice of the issue of this stock was
given by the Bank July 11. The stock was not redeemable before October 5, 1948, and the issue price
was 98. Incidental to the semi-monthly settlement
on Monday on the London Stock Exchange a feeling
of anxiety prevailed in the market for Americans,
owing to the decline in the Steel shares, which was
chiefly caused by rumors that London bankers had refused to loan on these properties. Lord Kothschild declared that there was no discrimination against Steel or
other American stocks, but that bankers were not disposed to advance large amounts on one class of stocks

July.

For some time past a few English cotton manufacturers latterly in increasing numbers
have been
giving attention to the question of adopting the automatic loom. In a limited sense, of course, power
looms have been automatic for the greater part of a
century.
But the term in its generally understood
meaning applies to a loom which will substitute a
fresh weft, or "filling" cop, for an exhausted one, or
for a cop of which the thread is broken, without the
immediate intervention of the weaver and without
stopping the machine. Some other automatic movements are sometimes connoted by the term, but this
is the essential and primary signification.
More than
fifty years ago the "weft fork" attachment had furnished the means by which the loom ceased to work
whenever the filling thread failed from either cause,
but the human weaver was still required to supply the
void, and start the machine again.
This service indeed constituted until lately more than one half of
his duties, and many minds have been engaged for a
long time in seeking to devise mechanism which
would dispense with it. The thing has now been
done, and the world is indebted to American inventMore recently, two
ors for its first accomplishment.

our reasons for thinking that
there is no likelihood of a great falling off in the
breadstuffs exports, even should the corn crop be
below the average. In the case of cotton, it seems too
much to expect an equally high price as in the year

In both amount and
ratio this excels the res alts for April, which had been
the best of any month this year. As to the conditions prevailing during the month, the grain movement in the West, as also the cotton movement in the
South, was heavier than a year ago, while trade and

"I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the
10th inst., in which you inquire relative to tbe stamp tax on
bills of exchange or drafts drawn in any foreign country, but
payable in the United S'ates
"In reply you are informed that this tax was imposed by
Sac. 11 of the Act of June 13 1898 and was not repealed by
the amendatory Act of March 2 1901. It* such bill of exchange or draft is drawn at sight or on demand, it will now
require no stamp, ii consequence of the abolition of the tax
on domestic drafts of that character. However, if a draft
or bill of exchange drawn in a foreign country, but payable
in the United States, is drawn otherwise than at sight or on
demand— that is, is a time draft stamps must be affixed before paying or accepting the same indicating a tax to the
amount of 2 cents for each $100 or fractional part thereof.

The bank as a combine— I don't know if you really know how It
starts. I was born In a plaoe called Sodom. It was not the 8odom. Ic
gut to be quite a village, and a railroad ran within a couple of miles.
and the commercial interests of the locality began to look up, and

some

of the folks wanted a bank. There was a bank in Peekskhl, only
twenty two miles away, and that was a very prosperous and successful one. So to meet this long-felt want a few men were induoed to
subscribe to the organlzithn of a bank. One of the gentlemen, I rein-mber, had been justice of the peaoe, and in the local paper whloh
was published at the county seat, el^ht miles away, it was stated that
he had been Induced to accept the presidency of this tl'iancial lns'ittition. It was, of course, pro bonopubliro
There was not any though:
of auyboily getting anything out of it, as you can easily see by the fact
that men had to be Induced to subscribe to the stock and to take the
presidency and even to take the oashlirshtp.
Tuat is the way a bank is a combine. It is made up of the money of
a an/.. -M or perhaps a hundred money lenders. Some of them are
(iretiygnod borrowers, too, but primarily they are in ney lenders.
Tue bank as a oombine can outdo iu money lending 'he whole dozen
or the whole hundred If they work 1. divldually. One hundre men
who put together one hundred thousand dollars have the call on the
mouev lending in a moderately-sized plaoe. and th hundred ui -n who
have put up that hundre thousand dollars, if each were to work on
his own capital, would go out of the business. Now, why do they do

money is to be loaned, or because he knows the bank is at home every

It is not altogether that, It is partly that; but it is because the business of banking is set up in that place. That is a oomhiue, pure and
simple, for the purpose of getting as much interest out of the *luO,000

The speaker who preceded me mentioned one combine of which I
am very proud, and be told a story which I would have told if you bad
given me the first chance; the combine he mentioned was the American Bankers' Asfoolation against professional criminals. I could
tell you something about bow much money we spend to carry on that
work, and it comes out of the 5 200 hanks, members of the American
Bankers' Association. As be truthfully said, there is not a professional hank criminal at large to-day. We combine against him In
every way. There was one man who had followed an Important
and considerably varied oareer; he had been a member of the Legislature in one of the States, and had become notorious in other ways.
had him caught five or six times, and tried him seven times, but
we got him at last; we combined against him, and he is now serving
a nine years' sentence, and we have three warrants at the penitentiary door awaiting their turn when he comes out; and If we do not
give him as much as he can possibly carry, it will be a weak spot in

—Horace Gray, who was

a director of the Seamen's Sav-

Bank since 1870 and Vice President since 1890, died at
his home in this city on Thursday in the eighty-first year of
his age. Mr. Gray was born in Boston, and after graduating from Harvard, came to this city and entered the house
of Goodhue & Co., which was in the China trade, as a clerk,
of which house, it may be noted, Pelatiah Perit was the
head, Mr. Goodhue being in ill-health. Upon the death of
Robert C. Gocdhue in 1863, the firm was dissolved, and Mr,
Gray associated himself with Mr. Weston, a fellow clerk,
in organizing the house of W<ston, Gray & Co., which
later became Horace Gray & Co.
Mr. Gray retired from
active business in 1875. He was a trustee of the Atlantic
Mutual Insurance Co., having been elected in 1873.

MILEAGE.
On June

30, 1900, the total single-track railway mileage in the
United States was 193, 345*78 miles, an increase during the year of
4, o"ii 12 miles being shown.
This is a greater increase than that for
any other year since 1893. Practically all of the railway mileage of
the country is covered by reports made to the Commission, the amount
not covered being 789*75 miles, or 0*41 per cent of the total singletrack mileage. The aggregate length of railway mileage, including
tracks or all kinds, was 259.788 07 miles. The distribution of this

aggregate mileage was as follows: Single track, 193, 345*78 miles;
second track, 12, 151*48 miles; third track, 1,094*48 miles; fourth

[From our own correspondent.
London, Saturday, July 6, 1901.
The stagnation in business is, if possible, greater this week
than before. Partly, no doubt, this is due to the fact that we
are approaching the time when large numbers of people leave
the city for holiday- making; but mainly the cause is a certain ill- defined and not very clearly-conceived uneasiness respecting the liquidation going on in Germany and Belgium.
The failure of the Leipziger Bank has not been followed by
as many suspensions as most persons seemed to apprehend.
Indeed, the best-informed observers are now coming to the
conclusion that the worst is over. There may be some small

and it is reasonable to expect that
there will be failures amongst commercial and especially inlocal

banks in

difficulties;

dustrial concerns; but the best-informed are convinced that
the larger banks are sound and that no serious danger is in
prospect.
For all that, the failure of the Leipziger Bank has made a
great impression in the neighboring countries. It has intensified the crisis in Belgium, and it has made bankers both in

;

the past.

The result of all is that rarely has Stock Exchange business
been so utterly stagnant either here at home or upon the
Cot tinent. Trade, too, is very quiet. There is one favorable and reassuring circumstance— namely that new orders
for ships are being placed upon the Clyde on a very considerable scale. Apparently the fall in the prices of coal and iron
have so reduced the cost of new ships that the greater shipping companies are once more placing orders freely.
Money remains easy and abundant, and the outside market
has repaid to the Bank of England very large amounts during the week. The general opinion in the city is that rates
will remain low for a considerable time to come; but very
much depends upon the New York money market. If the
demand for moving the crops in the United States should
bacome so great as to cause gold shipments from Enrope,
there would be a very sharp rise in rates here. On the other
hand, if it does not look likely that gold will be taken, rates
here will probably rule moderately easy.
There are, however, two other circumstances which hava
to be taken into account, and yet which it is not very easy to
measure. The first of these is the continued crisis, both in
Germany and in Belgium. Neither country holds very
many sterling bills, and neither has much capital invested
here. Hence, the impression is that even if distrust should
increase, very little gold can be taken from L' ndon. Nevertheless if gold is warned, the great banks both in Germany
and Belgium will doubtless find a way to obtain it. In any
case, it is reasonably probable to expect that they will be
able to get it through Paris.
The other circumstance is the continued crisis in Russia.
The Russian Finance Minister for a whole year has been
supporting the banks which engaged in very rash business
and locked up too much oapital; and it is not probable that
he will allow a serious break now. At the same time, the
failure of the Kharkoff Bank and the reported panic in

combinations that are absorbing the desirable coal lands in the Pittsburg district.
Our branch house system has proved to be highly satisfactory, and
while it has necessitated the reser ration out of profits of large sums
for working capital, the money so used has been a good earning power,
and the system has added greatly to the strength of our company and
to its ability to meet competition in the plate glass manufacturing
business. As the jobbing department of our business grows it minimizes the effect that low prices for plate glass would have upon the
earnings of the whole business. During the year we have added two
important branch -houses to our distributing system, namely, the
house of J E. Patton & Co., Milwaukee, Wis., and the house of Barge

&

Grose, Cleveland, Ohio.
policy in regard to the payment of the debt and the extension of
the warehouse business will, we believe, enable our company to maintain its position and earn reasonable dividends from our jobbing business evenjwhen the prospective competition becomes a fact and prices
of plate glass fall to the cost of manufacture. In order to secure for
our branch houses all the profit in the jobbing of paints and painters'
supplies, we have added this line to our jobbing business and have
acquired an interest in the paint manufacturing business of the Patton Paint Co. of Milwaukee, Wis. It will be noticed in the statement
that the floating debt has been increased. The greater part of the
money derived from this source was applied to the payment of tbe
balance of our 6 per cent debentures. As the average rate of interest
on our borrowed money during the year was but 4 per cent, a considerable saving in interest charges was thereby effected.

The company sold during the year plate glass to a total of
13,357,837 feet, a decrease of 1,189,291 feet compared with
1899.
The United State3, the report says, consumed during
the late year about 21,000,000 feet of plate glass, including
both domestic and foreign.

During the year certain desirable coal lands adjacent to the property
were purchased at reasonable prices. The co.it ot natural gas for
manufacturing purposes is steadily Increasing toward the point where
It will be more economical to use coal.
The coal on the property purchased Is of high quality, thick vein, and can ba cheaply mined. We
have also purchased and are now operating a coal property at Mosgrove, on the Allegheny River. The possession of these coal properties places us in a position where we will not be affected by the coal

the ownership of properties that are furnishing one-half
of the sulphur conEumed by the company in acid manufacturing.
By developing these properties it is hoped to produce
within another year as much sulphur as the com par y consumes. Concerning the cotton-seed oil business, the circular
says in substance:
Your board then took up the rrue<>tion of aramonlate supply, as your
company consumes about $2,000,000 worth of ammontates per annum. Investigation demonstrated that the best means to Mippiy ammonlates of Its own manufacturing was through the medium of cot-

Further investigation of the cotton-seed oil business
demonstated very great possibilities and profits from it as a business
of itself. But great as the possibilities of the cotton-seed oil business
are in itself, far greater are its possibilities worked in connection
with such a fertilizer business as we do, where they go hand in glove
together, bringing us into oloser touch with our fertilizer customers,
enabling us frequently to advantageously trade manufactured fertilizers for eotton-eeed, enormously increasing our means of distribution, and still further assisting us to reach the fertilizer conmmers
and upon the lowest possible freight rates.

There has been no recent move toward restoring the capital of the

attention to the supject, and wben the plans are fully consummated
an announcement will be made to he stockholders. While I am not
authorized to speak by the Board, I can state positively, I think, that
there will be no subscription for new stock, but merely a distribution

among the stockholders of new stock in proportion to the amount of
their holdings. This might prcperly be referred to as a stock dividend
although in reality it amounts to nothing more than returning to the
stockholders what was taken away from them. Whether cr not it
would be possible to restore at one time the full amount of stock is dependent entirely upon the amount of the company's surplus. Stock
can not be issued under the laws of the State of New York to an
amount in excess of the surplus. In my opinion the present price of

the shares represents the actual intrinsic value of the stock

The surplus on Jan. 31, 1901, stood at $6,629,181, having
been increased $4,276 150 during the year ended that day.
The earnings for the current year are understood to be larger
than for 1900-01; consequently the surplus of July 31 probably stands at over $8,750,000. The capital stock supposing
to
all debentures to have been converted is $25,242,k00;

Speculation in cotton for future delivery has been on a
moderate scale only. It has been strictly a weather market,
with the result that while the fluctuations in prices have
been sharp and frequent, they have betn within a compara
tively narrow range, and the net change for the week has
been unimportant. The interest of the trade has been centered principally in the weather reports from the Southwest.
Showers have continued to be reported here and there, but
are
inclined
opinion
most of the trade
to
the
rainfall
is
insufficient, and that a good,
this
that
rain
in
the
general
near
necessary
future
is
to insure a satisfactory yield from the growing crop. Foreign markets have continued to be influenced by the weather
reports from this side of the Atlantic, and in themselves have
been without factors to influence values to any extent. Reports from the cotton goods trade have reported seasonable
conditions existing, no marked activity to the demand being
expected at this time of the year. To-day there was a slight
weakening in values under moderate gelling, largely for local
account, prompted by predictions of threatening weather in
the Southwestern States. The close was steady at a net loss
in values for the day of 2 to 6 points. Cotton on the spot has
weakened slightly, closing at 8 7-16c. for middling uplands.
The rates on and off middling, as established .Nov. 21, 1900,
by the Revision Committee, at whioh grades other thai
middling may be delivered on oontraot, are as follows.

Weatheb Repobts by Teleqbaph.— Reports to us by telegraph from the South this evening denote that while rain
has fallen in a number of localities during the week, the precipitation, except along the coast, has been light or moderate
as a rule. Over a considerable area of the Southwest the
weather has been mainly dry. Our Galveston correspondent
states that the Texas "crop has further deteriorated during
the week, the light, scattered showers haviDg been insufficient
to do good, and that eighty per cent of the Texas area needs
rain badly. From Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas and

in north and central districts, though fruiting more freely; rain needed
over large seotion.
Alabama.— Excessively hot, with drying winds; insufficient showerp;
in extreme east and southwest drought serious; cotton small but
olean, well formed, and fruiting fairly well.

along the coast. A marked deficiency in rainfall for the State Is again
noted. Wlille showers, and in a few instances heavy rains, occurred
on the 10th, 11th and 12th over the southwest portion and along the
Gulf coast, there were only a few localities where the droughty conditions were relieved. Over the northern, oentral, western, and, notably, over the northeastern sections, the drought is pratlcally unbroken the few scattered showers that fell over these districts did
little more than dampen the ground and were of no bent tit to vegetation. In some looalties it has been seven weeks slnoe rain fell, and In
a great many sections the drought has remained unbroken for over a
month. The general weather conditions duringthe week for the State
as a whole were decidedly unfavorable for the growth and development of crops. Cotton, that haa withstood the drought ao well, is beginning to fall. That planted on nplanda la shedding badly and in
many other ways showa the effeots of dry weather. Lowland cotton is
doing fairly well It ia fruiting rapidly, but the orop needs rain badly,
and unless it la relieved aoon much less than an average orop will be
made. In the Southwest portion of the State some ootton has been
picked, but It will be some time before this work will be general. In
Frio County one bale of ootton has been ginned.

BREADSTUFFS.
Friday. July 19, 1901.
A fair volume of business has been transacted in the market for wheat flour. The local grocery trade has been a
steady buyer of such supplies as have been needed to meet
current wants. The principal spring-wheat mills are reported fairly well sold ahead, and they have not been pushing sales. Winter- wheat flours have been reported firm, with
limited offerings. The demand for rye flour has been limited
to jobbing lots, but prices have held steady. Corn meal has
been firmly held but only a limited volume of business has
been transacted.
Speculation in wheat for future delivery has been moderately active. Early in the week prices showed a reactionary
tendency, as the impression became fairly general that the
reports of damage to the springwheat by hot, dry weather
were exaggerated, and there also were predictions of rain,

which prompted moderate

selling.

Subsequently, however,

the market again turned stronger and the loss in prices was
more than recovered. The weather conditions continued to
be reported as unfavorable for the growing orop; the rainfall
reported, it was claimed, not being sufficient to break the
drought. The European cable advices also showed that the
foreign markets responded promptly to the steadier turn of
the American market. Crop news from Continental Europe
was not particularly promising, complaints of dry weather
being received. The spot market was easier early in the
fairly large business has
week, but later turned stronger.
been transacted,as exporters have been steady buyers. To-day
there was a moderately active and higher market on stronger
cable advices and reports of rising temperature in the
Northwest. The spot market was fairly active. The sales for
export here and at outports were 760,000 bushels.

The feature of the market for Indian corn futures in the
week under review was a sensational break in prices on Saturday last, due to free liquidation by speculative holders
and predictions of rains in the corn belt over Sunday. Monday there was a further fractional loss in prices, under continued selling to liquidate long accounts and reports of rains
in Kansas and Nebraska. Daring the week, however, there
was a steady hardening of prices, as the advices received
from the corn belt, particularly west of the Mississippi,
stated that the rainfall experienced was insufficient to break
the drought and that the condition of the crop was 6teadily
deteriorating. The spot market has been quiet prices have
followed futures. To-day there wa3 an active and higher
market, on crop news. The spot market was firmer but
quiet. The sales for export here and at outports were 70,000

Winter Wheat —Winter wheat harvest is about finished, exc pt in
the more northerly portion of the Atlantic ooast districts, where in
some sections it has been retarded by rain. Harvesting has begun in
the North Pacific coast region under very favorable conditions.
Spring Wheat.— Over the southern portion of the spring wheat region, spring wheat has ripened prematurely and the general prospect
is less promising than previously reported.
In the northern portion,
however, the outlook continued favorable. Harvesting is expected to
begin in Northern Minnesota by the 18th. In Oregon spring wheat is

The value of the New Xork exports for the year to date
h»s been $6,211,633 in 1901, against $9,369,529 in 1900.
New business in heavy brown sheetings and drills with
China is at a standstill just now and the home demand continues very quiet. As there are no stocks of any moment in
sight, this has no influence upon the attitude of sellers, and
prices are steadily maintained. Sellers of bleached cottons
also adhere to former quotations in all grades, in face of a
quiet demand. Wide sheetings are slow of sale but in limited supply.
Business in ducks and brown osnaburgs, and in
cotton flannels and blankets, has been featureless. In most
quarters coarse,colored cottons, such as denims, ticks, plaids,
etc., are in limited supply, with manufacturers refusing to
make goods except on specific orders at full prices. Kidfinished cambrics are quiet but steady. There has been a
quiet market throughout for prints, but the tone is steady
for both staples and fancies. Fine printed fabrics have been
in fair request for next spring. The gingham situation is
unchanged, a quiet business passing at firm prices. Print
cloths are dull at 2%e. for regulars. Some wide goods are
slightly easier than a week ago.

New

York, Friday, P. M., July 19, 1901.
There has not been any movement of importance on the
part of buyers during the past week in any department of
the market. The attendance has been limited from day to
day and the demand otherwise has ruled decidedly moderate.
The weather is still against an increase in the spot demand,
and there is no other influence strong enough just now to
stimulate the buying movement. Reports from out of- town
distributing centres show generally quiet conditions.although
towards the close of the week an improving tendency is
noted in some quarters. Limited as the current demand is,
it appears to be taking care of such proportion of current
production as is not already under contract, there being no
indication of unsold stocks increasing in any direction.
Sellers are not pressing for business at the expense of prices
and some of the most important are indifferent about booking forward contracts on the prevailing basis in staple cotton
goods. The financial condition of tbe trade is satisfactory,
collections being regular.

men's -wear woolen and worsted
goods division has ruled decidedly quiet during the past week,
although a number of new lines of light-weights for next
spring have been opened. None of these is regarded as of
first importance, still being confined chiefly to lower-grade
goods. The prices named vary from the same as a year ago
to 10 per cent decline. Buyers are generally waiting for the
opening of the American Woolen Company's piece-dyes,
officially announced for next Monday, for a definite line upon

goods for spring is gradually expanding and the market is
generally steady in tone. Silks and ribbons are also steady,
but business has been moderate. The demand for linens is
quiet but prices are firmly maintained. Burlaps are steady,
with a limited demand.

tive week of intense heat, the maximum temperatures over a large
part of these distriots ranging above 100 daily during the week, many
stations reporting from 100 to 109. With an almost entire absence of
rain the crops in the region named have been subjeoted to most unfavorable conditions. In the States lying immediately to the eastward of the Miss'ssippi River very high temperatures have a'so prevailed, but the heat has been less Intense and the effects not so serious
as in the districts to the westward. On the Atlantic coaBt very favorable temperature conditions have prevailed, with abundant rains, exoessive and damaging in portions of the Middle and south Atlantic
States. On the Paciflo coast it has been cool and dry, with frost in
Washington on the 12th.
Corn.—The corn crop as a whole in the great corn States of the central valleys ha* materially deteriorated and has sustained serious
injury over the western portion of the corn belt, especially in Missouri. Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma. A very large part of the
crop is late, however, and this has withstood the trying conditions of
drought and heat remarkably well, and with early rains will still
make a fair crop. This is particularly applicable in Iowa, Nebraska
and portions of Kansas and Northern Mlssouii. The following stations report rain during the twenty-four hours ending at 8 a. m July

the price situation, and before operating to any material extent for the coming season.
With a firmer market for raw
wool the opinion prevails that the American Woolen Company's opening will show a firm condition in woolen goods.
Buyers are purchasing but limited quantities of heavyweights jnst now, but the market is in good condition in
these. A quiet demand only has been reported in overcoatings and cloakings, and the dress goods market continues
dull throughout. Flannels and blankets are inactive.
Domestic Cotton Goods.— The exports of cotton goods
from this port for the week ending July 15 were 1,824
packages, valued at |97,979, their destination being to the

with water, and do not require that bonds or indebtedness
for that purpose shall be submitted to a vote of taxpayers.
Our informant adds, however, that this question will probably be submitted to the people in the near future. The city
of Silverton has no debt and levies no taxes, the income from
licenses being sufficient to pay all running expenses.
