S NEW YORK, June 24.—Bradstreet’s | to-morrow will say: There has been some enlargement in ‘demund at the West this week, but the betterment as yet is largely one of | tone. Reports from the leading In-| dustries are not significant of any par- ticular reaction from the dullness noted heretofore. The iron trade appears to be ground- ing upon the bottom as regards prices and cyrtailment is becoming wide- spread. From the leading textile in- dustries the story is one of almost mid- summer dullness and of a waiting dis- position on the part of the manufac- turers. Rallway earnings for the elapsed portion of June promise to make rather more favorable compari- sons that the early spring months, i while bank clearings betray irregular- ity, coincident with varying influences affecting bank operations at different centers, and are below last week and {last year. No particular improvement in collections is yet to be seen and a long spell of warm weather is still re- garded as necessary If retail trade Is to be stimulated. ‘Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending June 23 aggregate 11,271,487 bushels, agalnst 2,444,251 last week, 3,158,152 this week last year and 8,382,701 in 1902. From July.1, 1903, to date they aggregate 132,797,439 bushels, against 220,199,691 last season and 244,- 143,258 in 1902. | Business failures in the United States for the week ending June 23 number 185, against 181 last week and 171 last year. In Canada failures for the week number 23, against 18 last week and 18 | in this week a year ago. NEW YORK, June 24—R. G. Dun & Company's Weekly Review of Trade | to-morrow will say: Aside from the strike of garment workers, developments of the last week have tended to strengthen confidence. One political convention has ended and, although its action was a foregone con- clusion, the Industrial atmosphere |is slightly clearer. The fiscal year is drawing to a close with national fin- ances in a sound condition, the small shrinkage in Federal customs receipts | being no cause for uneasiness. The most important trade influence just now is the progress of the crops and the past week has brought no setback. Seasonable weather has stimulated dis- tribution of merchandise and retall business is improving very noticeably at many cities, although it is not cus- tomary to find sales Increasing at this | time. Rallway earnings thus far for | June are surprisingly satisfactory, an increase over last year of 4.2 per cent being reported. | Western hide markets have ruled very dull. Packers hold for full prices, | but the tanners buy little, as recent declines in leather depressed that mar- ket below a parity with hides. Fallures this week numbered in thé United States, against 223 last year, and 32 in Canada, compared with 19 a | vear ago. | . SISTER'S AFFIDAVIT TELLS HOW MONEY WAS INTRUSTED | 297 Pointed Declaration Made to Judge Seawell in Margaret McLaugh- lin's Suit Against Whelan. An affidavit of Katherine McLaugh- lin, sister of Margaret McLaughlin, | who is suing John F. Whelan for the recovery of $7000, said to have been given him for safe keeping, was the | pointed feature yesterday of a hearing |in Judge Seawell's court. The Judge ! was considering Whelan’'s demurrer to | the complaint and his motion to dis- i | solve the restraining order preventing him from disposing of his assets, Both of the McLaughlin women were in court and heard their attorney give Judge Seawell a direct admission | as to the manner in which the money | was earned that Margaret is said to | have deposited with Whelan. Kath- erine’s affidavit related that she was a sister of the plaintiff and lived at 246 O'Farrell street. She alleged that her sister and Whelan lived together at 1 319 Sutter street for a year and a half and down to within a short time be- fore the institution of the pending pro- ceedings. She had frequently visited | her sister and held conversations with Whelan concerning the moneys re- celved from Margaret. He admitted, she says, that her sister gave him her daily earnings, amounting to more than $7000. Katherine says that she, too, at his earnest solicitation, turned over her own earnings to him for safe keeping and at one time he had $600 belonging to her. Judge seawell took the motions of the defendant under submission. —_———— Check Was Worthless. Robert L. Paynter, alias R. J.

Denon, 425 Pa- cific street, on Thursday night and got him to cash a check for $14 25 on the Wells-Fargo Bank, payable to himself and purporting to be signed by the Western Supply Company. The check was presented at the bank by Denon, who W told that it was worthless. He immediately notified the police:and Paynter was arrested. —_——— Regimental Parade.

The complaint of the trust company was flled yesterday morning in the Su- perfor Court. It was a long, printed document of numerous pages and mul- tifarious allegations. At its conclusion there was a prayer of the plaintiffs for judgment against the State for the par value of 855 bonds of $1000 each, issued for the extension of the street, together with interest thereon up to date of ma- turity, January 1, 1903, amounting to $1,121,010, and interest accrued on the total from maturity until the date of judgment in the suit now instituted. The Union Trust Company, after se- curing ownership of the bonds, laid a ground for its case against the State by applying for payment from the City and County Treasurer and presenting its claim to the State Board of Exam- | iners. In both instances the trust com- pany was turned down. OLD HISTORY REVIEWED. The complaint filed yesterday goes over the officlal actions in regard to the extension of Montgomery avenue in 1872, diagonally through nineteen blocks of thickly settled land, from ‘Washington street to Beich and Leav- enworth. An act of is and at the same time, it alleged, created the Board of Works, consisting | of the Mayor, Tax Collector and Sur- veyor of this city and county as agent | was | of the State. William Alvord Mayer in that year. It is recited that after all of the pro- visiors of the Legislature were complied with In regard to opening the avenue bonds were ordered issued in payment of damages to property and to secure | deeds to the land utilized. It is alleged that all of these damages and deeds | were paid for out of the money re- | ceived from the sales of bonds which were disposed of at thirty-six different | sales to some sixty-nine different buy- ers at prices ranging from 85 cents to | 88% cents on the dollar par. The com- plaining company, prior to the rejec- tion of its claim by the State Board of | Examiners, became the bona flde own- er of 85 bonds out of the 1579 origi- | nally issued. NO MONEY IN FUND. It is alleged that the treasurer of this county has not at any time adver- tised for the surrender or redemption of the Montgomery-avenue bonds. Fur- thermore, it is said that the last time the city and county of San Francisco levied an assessment to pay the prin- cipal or interest on these bonds was in 1880-81. From April 26, 1883, to Jan- uary 31, 1891, 95 cents was the only amount In the coupon fund and this was then transferred to the general fund. On June 30, 1882, it is alleged, the Montgomery-avenue sinking fund amounted to $12,318 20 and this converted into the general fund on July 31, 1891 nothing in the fund to pay either prin- cipal or interest. ———— Policeman’s Narrow Escape. Policeman M. F. Joy had a narrow | escape from being seriously wounded on Thursday night. ‘A gang of Bar- bary Coast toughs were fighting on Ohio street, off Pacific, shortly before 11 o’clock, and Joy, drawing his club, ordered them to disperse. They did so and Joy thought no more of the matter till a few minutes later, when he reported off duty. He was sur- prised to find blood on the left sleeve of his coat and more so when he saw | a deep cut on his left arm. One of the gang had made a thrust apparent- | ly at Joy's left slde with a knife and he had received it on his arm. He | will not report for duty for some days. | —_————— Foresters’' Picnic.
