atia, having shown some improvement,
the outlook for the future is regarded
as more favorable than ever. It would
appear that although summer trade was
late in setting in, its vellum will not be
oehind that of previous years. A splen-
did retail trade is now moving in all di-
rections. In dry goods this is .partieu-
larly the case. The re -order business kr
summer lines is brisk and fall and win-
ter trade is exceedingly heavy. Some
lines of trade report an astonishing ex-
pansion over the businces done last year.
This is the case with the ready-made
clothing trade. In the matter of ready.
made cloaks it is said business has been
50 per cent. heavier than ever before.
There is also a very gratifying improve-
ment in the quality of the trade doing.
All lines of iron and steel are in brisk
demand. Mills and car foundries are
working to capacity and prices are firm.
The boot and shoe industry reports
great activity in preparation for fall
business. There is a good business in
groceries. Sugars are quoted ten utile
lower, but are expected to again ad-
vance,
Toronto: The most noteworthy feature
of trade hero at the present moment is
the improvement in collections which has
taken place during the past week or so.
It had all along been felt that the late
summer would reault in slow collections
for a eonsiderable time, but it was gen-
erally expected that a few weeks' warm
weather Ai ould bring about a general
improvement. This has been the ease.
Retail trade has kept up a good tone
throughout the country and as a result
money is coming forward freely from all
directions. General lines of wholesale
trade report business moving as briskly
as ever. In dry goods the sorting trade
is better than normftl. Repeat orders for
summer lines are generally large and the
volume of fan business will likely be done
this a, mord year. Values of textiles
and general lines are very firm. Hard -
right side, and that therefore left-hand. ware lines are moving briskly. There is

London, July 21. -Hon. Edward Blake,

never entirely successful as an orator in
the Commons, he has always commanded
respectful attention."

Palermo, July 22. -Hundreds of per-

clash between the police and crowds that
were demonstrating in behalf of Nunzio

struction, now under arrest for embez-
zlement. The rioters stoned the police,

On July 17 4O:4114e was found tres-
passin on the Nipissing property, and
when ordered off by McMullen, refesed

MoG are struck the detective, but in
giving his testimony accused claimed
that McMullen, who he thought was De-
tective Greer, should have shown his au-
thority before ordering him off the pro-
perty.
There were five witnesses who saw
the encounter, among whom was De-
tective Samuel Wright, who assisted
McMullen in inducing McGuire to leave.
Manager Drummond swore that he
had previously ordered McGuire off time
property and warned him not to come
on it again. The latter in his evidence
claimed that his purpose in visiting
the property was to induce the men
employed on the Nipiesims to join the
union.
In his summary of the evidence
Magistrate BraWR pointed out that the
penalty for the offence might be ten
years' imprisonment. He regretted
very much that an officer of the union
should be brought before him on such
a serious eh:lege. "It was," lie said, "a
disgrace to the union," Ito took into
eoneideration, however, the good belfax-
four of the union men since the strike
was declared, and believing that the
accused. boa exerted a certain amount of
influence over the strikers in preserv-
ing the peace and that it was MeGuires'
