FREELAND TRIBUNE. VOL. VII. NO. 103. BUSINESS IS BOOM ENG. ENCOURAGING REPORTS RECEIVED FROM ALL QUARTERS. Crop Reportd and the Constant Replen ishing of Stock by Dealern Are Impor tant Factors in t e Steady March On ward Throughout the Country. New York, June 20. —Dunn's resume of the condition of trade for the month just closing will say as follows: He who sees a setback in business at this time must be gazing through 11 telescope pointed by mistake at some other coun try. From all parts of the United States, the best advices obtainable tell of a ris ing tide of trade and industry, which threatens here ami there to mouut too far and too fast. The volume of all busi ness is by no means equal to that of 1892 as yet, though iu some iinporaut branches larger than in that or any other year. Daily payments through clearing houses in Juno are 20.9 per cent, larger than last year, though 8.0 per cent, smaller than in 1892, the last of full business at this season. A rise of more than a quarter in a single year is tjie more significant because, in spite of recent advances, the prices of commodi ties as a whole average a fraction of one per cent, lower than a year ago. Causes of the Hist*. Two influences of tremendous powor Contribute to the rise, encouraging crop news and confident replenishing of stocks which have been for two years de pleted to the utmost. When business payments have so long been 15,000 rail lions yearly less than before, It Is not strango that the increase should be at the rate of 11,000 millions a year when faith In the futures inspires gen eral replenishment of stocks. Except ing too heavy rains in Texas, crop re ports this week have been highly encour aging. Future injury to cottou cannot bo predicted, but as yet nothing indi cates a yield below 7,500,000 bales, which would not he supposed to threaten famine if the commercial and mill stocks wero remembered, now exceeding by 2,500,000 bales a full consumption until September 1. Iron Works Crowded with Orders. The rush for supplies in iron and steel resembles a "bear panic" in the stock market. Because prices are mounting everybody hurries to buy, so that they mount higher. Bessemer iron has reached $12.05 at Pittsburg, the Bar as sociation has advanced common to $1.15, the Wire Nail association puts up the price to $1.50 per keg, the steel rail makers have raised the price to $24, eastern and southern furnaces have both raised prices again 50 cents per ton, and structural beams are 1.35, and angles 1.25. It is undeniable that works in operation are crowded with orders, and others which have been idle for years are preparing to resume. Woolens and Cottons. Sales of wool at the chief markets, 8,113,700 pounds domostic and 3,844,400 foreign, aro larger than in any previous year for the same week, and in three weeks of June have been 19,516,085 pounds, of which 10,631,700 were foreign, against 16,933,000 in 1892, of which 7,764,800 were foreign. Orders for nion'H woolens are a little better, and the Washington mills have opened their Clay worsteds at an advauce of about 24 per cent., though some lower grades are reduced in price. Advances continue in cotton goods, and are sustained by un usual demand and scarcity at a tim when the mills are generally anxious to clear oil old stocks. Boot and Shoo Trade Booming. Shipments of boots and shoes for the week have been the largest ever known in any woek, 101,425 cases, and for three weeks of June have boeu 11 per cout. larger than in any previous year. Many shops are stopping, though most have orders to August or September. Evi dences of better employment of money in the interior multiply, but funds con tinue to gravitate hither, and one largo loan for an Olueyville mill, with good Now York endorsement, was placed for forty-five days at 14 per cent, per au num, although commercial loans aro more freely offered and taken. Business Failures. Failures for the second week of June show liabilities of only $2,092,882, of whichr $702,857 were manufacturing and $1,327,625 were trading, against $2,917,- 535 in nil for the same week laHt year, of which $688,137 were manufacturing and $2,220,700 were trading. Failures for the week have been 228 in the United States against 214 last year, and 31 in Canada against 25 last year. "Told by Famous Men." Walter Well man, the Washington cor respondent whose reputation as a writer is national, has gathered the cream of the stories told by famous men at the capital when the last congress was in session. The Tribune has secured the right to republish these stories, and the first instalment will appear 011 Monday. They come from men high in the nation's affairs, and are of a varied character; some contain humorous anedotos, others have bits of history, some are senti mental and all are worth our readers attention.

Engine 17 is the crack locomotive 011 the D. S. & S., and it well deserves to be known as such. On Tuesday it made the quickest run to Harrisburg that any I engine has yet accomplished. With a train of three cars it covered the j distance to Pennsylvania's capital in a little more than four hours over the Pennsylvania road. On the train were seventy-two invited guests from Free laud, Foster, Butler and Conynghain. Upon reaching the capital the party had a few hours to spare before return ing and an interview was secured with Governor Hastings on the new county bill. For au hour or so they talked to the executive, rehashing all the old arguments about high taxes, worked- j out coal lauds aud down-trodden farmers. ' The governor listened and told them he would consider their arguments. The return trip was then began and the run back to Drifton was made in three hours and forty-five minutes. A few of the Freeland contingent were real angry 011 the return trip because the governor forgot to write a veto when they spoke against the bill. The guests enjoyed the free ride hugely, and with the exception of a very few they are not worrying about the fate of the new county hill. The amusing part of the excursion was that the promoters thought they were doing it unawares to the new county people. Those who were invited wero requested to keep it secret, but it leaked out 011 Monday night. The friends of the bill were notified of the j trip to be made, and smiling Matt Long was at Harrisburg and met the crowd. A Wedding Yesterday. Shortly after noon yesterday a pretty wedding took place at St. Ann's church. The groom was James J. Malloy, of Washington street, and Miss Maine Qui 1111, of Centre street, was the bride. The ceremony was performed in the pre sence of several friends of the contract ing parties, Rev. E. A. O'Rielly officiat ing. Frank P. Malloy, of Jersey City Heights, N. J., a brother of the groom, was best man, and the bridesmaid was Miss Annie Brady, of Audcnried. At 1.35 o'clock the couple left for Philadelphia, and from there they go to Atlantic City, where a week or ten days will be spent. Upon their return they will take up their residence at Washington and Carbon streets, whore Mr. Malloy is engaged in business. The groom is one of the most popular young men in Freeland, and the bride is an estimable young lady. Both have a host of friends whose congratulations and wishes for success were freely of fered yesterday. A number of presents were received. Heware of Ointment* for Catarrh that contain mercury, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never lie used except 011 prescriptions from reput able physicians, as the damage they will do is ten-fold to the good you can possi bly derive from them.
