'a weekly review of trade says: "Exceptionally encouraging reports for this time of the year are received regarding trade, industry and trans portation, but there is no response In the market for securities.

"As results on the farms become assured there is a growth of confi dence that brings out large orders for fall and winter delivery of all staples. Saw mills at the Northwest are run ning night crews, new coke ovens are in course of construction and there is a general disposition to extend fa cilities in order to keep pace with ex panding needs. "More textile mills have voluntarily advanced wages 6 per cent to take ef fect after this month and the only Im portant labor trouble that threatens is a local building complication that will be averted If conservative counsel prevails. "Official returns show that foreign commerce In the fiscal year ending June 30, 906, far eclipsed all records both as to exports and Imports while the new year promises still better re sults because of the surplus on the farms available for consumers abroad. "For the last week at this port alone exports were $1,352,245 larger than In 1905, and Imports gained $914,253. Railway earnings thus far reported for July show an average In crease of 7.2 per cent over last year's. "Restoration of foundry pig to $14 Is probably the best development of the week In the Iron and steel In dustry. "Improvement Is noted In the pri mary markets for cotton goods after a prolonged period of Indifference on the part of buyers. "Efforts to secure still further ad vances In the hide market encounter some opposition, but the general lev el continues about the highest on record. "Failures for the week numbered 192 In the United States, against 193 last year, and 22 In Canada, compar ed with 23 a year ago. SCOTS ARE JEALOUS Want Parliament to Deal With Local Legislation.
