THE MOKNING POST SATURDAY, 'JULY 1 5 1 903 The Trade Situation Reported More fqvorabSe Crops Are Improving and La bor. Troubles Are Not So Common-Stock Quo tations Are Way Down Netr York. July 17. Dun's weekly re view of trade tomorrow will say: At the lowest point Wednesday the average of the sixty most active rail way otocks was 553.18, surpassing all low recdrds since the memorable col lapse on May 0. 1901. when the avcr n touched In neither case was liquidation in Well street due to depression in legitimate business, it being conflned to the stock market and financial influences. Conditions con tinue satisfactory outside the region of speculation, many reports Indicating further Improvement. During recent i:;o.ths the two disturbing factors have iibar controversy and weather conditions, but each week' has brought tetter things in these two respects until the outlook contains much that i encoufarlnz. Crops are making rapid progress, and the army of un employed is diminishing. Railway traf fic la heavy, earnings thus'far report ed for. July exceeding last year's by 13.6 per cent, and tho?e of 1901 by 19.2 per .cent. Retail trade In seasonable jccrchohdise is fully up to the average, It i3 a season or uncertainty In the manufacture f -cotton goods, and nothing in the nature of Improvement can be expected until the artificial po sition pf the raw material is radically altered. Supplies of cotton goods in first hands are low and there is no ef foct. to make spot sales. Buyers fill their requirements for immediate dis tribution, but in no department of this great Industry Is there any Inclination toariticipate needs of even the near future. As supplies diminish there Is a corresponding stiffening of quota tionsaithough in most cases the lack of "..transactions renders new figures nominal. Hills are steadily curtailing production, both here and abroad. Ex ports of heavy brown cottons are ln jlgnlfirant. Official returns of foreign commerce for the fiscal year ending. June 30, 1903, testify to the steady growth of our trade with other nations, the total value of merchandise imported and ex ported far surpassing all previous years at $2,443,610,417. Imports made the "most striking record, not only ex ceeding a billion dollars by J23.619.127, but showing a gain of J122.293.179 over the previous year's imports asked .for and a request of that char acter Is not expected.

The Constitution won the first run of the New York yacht club cruise today. She crossed the finishing line 59 seconds after the Reliance, but the new boat has to allow the Constitution 2 min utes 19 seconds over the thirty-seven mile course, so that the Constitution won the race, with more than a minute to spare. This is the first defeat the Reliance has experienced In a race which she has finished. She lost at Larmont, but that was through the carrying awaV of her topmast. The race today was a peculiar one. The wind in the earlier part was light and fluky, and It was expected that the Reliance would ghost away from the other two. There was air aloft and the big club topsails caught that. To ev ery, one's surprise the Columbia did well at the start. For a long time she was the -leading boat, and It was not" until 2 hours and 38 minutes after the start that the Rellancve pulled by the old champion and took the lead. "When they got to Stratford shoals light the wind freshed so that balloons were car ried. Then the Constitution did the best work. She drew up on the Re liance, and. when a little more than a Failures this week were 213 In the imile from the finishing line the Reli ance set her spinnacker. The Consti tution set hers at once and crept up on the new yacht, and as they crossed porte cochere, etc. It will cost $3,500.

Henderson: "Mr. Reams, you say that point is about a thousand j feet from the center, of town. Do you think that is the proper place, the most, convenient place for a passenger sta tion in the event that the railroads were in love with-ea.cn other and want ed'a depot. Would it be the most con venient place for the people of 1 Dur ham?" ' ' Mr. Reams: "I really don't know." Mr. J. Ay Warren testified that Cor coran is a much used street. There is a great deal of foot travel across the railroad at that point going to and Judre Watts said the .Seaboard was here today to announce its willingness to become a party to he erection of a union depot at the -market house site, and was willing to enter into an agree ment upon terms of easement for the r.vMiPe-3 of a single track down Pea- body street to .the company's tracks at the Duke factory, said easement to be paid for in a sum io be fixed by a board of arbitrators and to run for 99 years, or as long as the lease of the North Carolina Railroad to the Southern con tinues. :'v- Col. Henderson: "As I understand it the court Is here to consider only-the question of the locality and the erection of a union station I do not grant that your honors have that right, but grant ing that it is true for the moment, I am instructed by Col. Andrews to say that the Southern Railway " accests the proposition made by the Seaboard Air Line." This statement was" greeted by loud clapping of hands and yells. Chairman McNeill attempted to rap for order with a pencil, but could, not be heard. Mr. Bryant said that he f would prefer that a written agreement be entered into as the petitioners did not want any further misunderstanding. Judge Winston said the Norfolk and Western had practically agreed to come into this arrangement. There was a good deal of confusion, and when It was cleared up Judge Watts said he wanted the Southern to fully understand the proposition. He therefore stated it again, and it was ordered taken down by the stenographer. When it was ful ly understood Col.
