NEW YORK, June 1.—Brad street's re-

view says: Unseasonable weather has

been the key of the general situation, and the week has been discouraging to retail trade In the city and country dls-

ftrldts alike, and with the growth of most crops retarded, but particularly corn and o&ta In the northern half of the country

and cotton in the South, however, there

la a feeling prevalent that a few weeks cf warm, sunny weather, a decided lack of which has so far been noted this spring, would do much to place matters, commercial and agricultural, in as good

•r better condition than a year ago. Apart from the features the week has

been without much change,, except that A rather bitter spirit has Wen visible In ths Industrial situation, and that some . progress has been made toward a settlement of existing labor troubles. The sit-

uation In textiles has not changed. Locally, except that real conditions in

the print cloth market have been recognised by a heavy cut in the prices of that product, the steadiness of prices Is •till a feature, the cereals being as high or slightly higher than & week ago, as much owing to bad crop reports from abroad as to tales of dry weather damage in the Northwest to wheat and too tool for corn in the country as a whole. Cotton is higher in (he face of large receipts and reports of slow trade, because tlio prospect as to the near months, parti.ularly Jply, is still doubtful, and, owillpg; to covering by the short Interest in tint and the succeeding month. The 4W«Jp Is at least two weeks late, but the

will probably be from-6 to 10 per .arger, somewhere will, perhaps, be

, iubi, iSat stiil leaving a comfortable margin of Increase, providing warm, forcing

weather succeeds shortly.

Ah tbr some time past, the new business In Iron and steel is small, while production on orders Is at the maximum. Bteol billets are temporarily scarce and 60c higher, while Bessemer pig Is dull and off 25c. Southern iron is dull and weak and present quotations could be cut 50c If business were offered. Finished products are generally strong, and the mills are still crowded with business. Rail mills have a season's output guaranteed, the wire mills are pushed with orders and bar and plate production is reported sold ahead. Rumors of advances to come after July 1 are heard, but nothing tangible offers in this respect with new business in such small volume. Hardware is in good shape, and May sales at Chicago were the heaviest

for any month this year.

BOSTON, June 1.—The Commercial Bulletin says of the woo* trade of the United States: The market is filling up rapidly with heavy receipts of both domestic and fcreign wool. The demand Is very small this week and shipments are falling off. All medium wools are weak. Medium Territory has been sold on a basis of 37c clean. Ohio half-blood, unwashed, was sold at 18c. A big line of Irish wool is the only notable sale. Though of excellent quality these super wools brought but 26c. Fine wools, on the other hand, are quite firm. The advance of Ohio delaine to 29c is maintained and there has been a relatively active demand for X fleeces. The receipts of wool in Boston since January 1 have been 73,760,221 pounds, against 72,181,160 pounds for the same period in 1900. The Boston shipments to date are 101,70C.566 pounds, against sales of «,627,0'*) pounds for the same period »n 1900. The stock on hand In Boston January 1, 1901, was 76,369.500 pounds; the 'total stock today Is 48,363,165 pounds. Dry Goods Unchanged. NEW YORK, June l.-The market shows no change In general conditions. The demand has again been made up of small orders In all dlrectlona. with a moderate aggregate business secured. Prices of brown, bleached and coarse colored cottons unchanged. Prints inactive at previous prices. New prices for prints for fall show ^4c decline In some quarters Ginghams unaltered. Linens are in moderate request and very firm. Burlaps tend upwerd upder strength of foreign advices.

The Week’s Failures. NEW YORK, June l.-Dun’s Review says: Failures for the week numbered 148 In the United States, against 160 last year, and 27 In Canada, against 20 last year.

THE LABOR SITUATION.

Brighter Outlook for Trade—Iron and Steel Conditions. NEW YORK, June 1.—R. G. Dun A Co.'a weekly review of trade aaya: Tho labor situation is a little brighter. Many strikes have been settled and others are expected to terminate shortly. Iron and steel mills are working at full capacity and more new plants have been put In operation. Fanning machinery is a feature of the domestic business, and there la no sign of decrease In the export movement of these products, which has attained enormous proportions. Rails arc also going out freely to Australia and South America. Railway* are unable to ••cure euffleient freight cars and other supplies, while structural work proceeds briskly, with little interjmption fj*rinlKbor controversies. There la a little less activity among manufacturers of boots and shoes, some of the smaller plants reducing time or closing down, ostensibly for the purpose of taking stock. Inventories would easily wait another month, however, if orders were abundant Salesmen In the West and South are sending good orders for fall delivery, but the local Jobbing trade has received a setback from the continuous rain. Leather is still strong and active for heavy sole, and higher priced upper stock has been frequently taken for export. Medium grades are quiet, with less demand than tho extreme quail-

tie#.

Extended holidays abroad and a short one in this country have tended to make the grain markets unusually quiet, while oorn has had the added drawback of manipulation in the May option. Foreign

ELLIS QUITS THE GAME. President Meyer Takes Charge of

Grand Rapids Team.

(Special to The Indianapolis News.} GRAND RAPIDS, June l.-‘'Deacon” Ellis threw up the.sponge yesterday, dis-

banded his team and declared himself out of the Western Association. He said it would be folly for him to continue In the organisation if obliged to give up Dundon, as he was the most popular player in the team, and the people of Grand Rapids would not support the

oiub with Dundon gqne.

President Meyer at once took charge of the players and re-signed them to Western Association contracts, with the exception of Dundon, who was ordered to report In Kansas City. The last game of the present series in this city will be played to-day, and the Lambs leave next week on a Idng trip. Before this is finished the differences here will either be adjusted or another city secured to take Grand Rapids’ place. President Meyer assured the players that they would be taken care of by the league until settled In their new berth. The men will have to look to Ellis for their salaries up to and Including yesterday, and he has promised to settle with them to-day. . The other club owners In the association have notifled President Meyer to stand Arm, as they can "not afford to incur the enmity of the National League. Ellis said to-day that he was zlad to get out of the association. He had been given the worst of It from the start, and did not propose to let the others use him as a "mark.’' Before he had been in the organisation a week, the Ft. Wayne club attempted to steal two of his players, and It was only after threatening to disband his club and refuslnsr to play the games that the other owners forced Ft. Wayne to do the right thing. He says he knew nothing of the Dundon episode until Just a short time ago, and after the young man had made a great reputation. Kansas City; Ellis claims, made no effort to enforce it* alleged claim on the third baseman until he had made good, and Ellis characterises the present claim as highway robbery. It Is generally believed here that the action of the National League board of arbitration In forcing Ellis to give up Dundon is a retaliatory measure and done for the purpose of getting even with the Grand Rapids man for his willful violation of the national agreement in playing an exhibition game with Detroit, and his later action, defying the arbitration board to punish him. It is said that had Ellis not played the Detroit game the Dundon case would never have been

heard of.

Games Scheduled for To-Day. Louisville at Indianapolis. Toledo at Grand Rapids. Dayton at Columbus. Marlon at Ft. Wayne. Indianapolis has seldom been treated to a prettier, cleaner or faster exhibition of ball than It saw yesterday afternoon between the Hoosiers and Colonels. It was a heady, brilliant struggle between two closely matched teams. The game was a pitchers’ battle, but made so largely by the sensational fielding behind the two box men. The youthful Guese, who is making a desperate effort to win his spurs this season, Was opposed to the veteran Weyhlng. The honors were fairly with the younger man. Guese has never pitched a better game in Indianapolis. Not only did he hold the hard-hitting Colonels down to five hits, but he had absolute control of the ball and fielded his position perfectly. In only one Inning did the Colonels get two hits. Then a threebagger by McFarland and a single by Grim gave them their one run. Weyhing was not so fortunate. While hit safely only five times, his battery errors proved extremely costly, as each was followed by a bit of hitting which cost him the game. His downfall is briefly told. In the second Inning Heydon was hit by a pitched ball. Fox singled and Flynn reached first on a bunt which was fielded slowly. This filled the buses. Hickey hit to Weyhing, and Heydon was nipped at the plate. Zalusky attempted a double, but threw wild to first and Fox sprinted home from second base. In the third inning Shaunon drew a base on balls, Kelly struck out, but Heydon sent a long two-bagger to center and Shannon by a pretty run crossed the rubber. There were fielding plays never before seen in this city. Bey's work In center was little short of phenomenal, and Hogriever played him a close second. Hickey played a sensational game. In one inning he pulled down a line drive, cut out for a two-bagger, and later stopped a grounder which turned him completely around, and got It to first ahead of the runner. Fox and Flynn both contributed their share to the victory by fast fielding. For the Colonels, the work of Grim at first w'as good, and Weyhing cut off several promising base hits which would have gone over second base. McFarland played a strong game, both at the bat and In the field. The score: Indianapolis. A.B. R. H. O. A. E.

Louisville Players Have a Long List of Them. Harley Parker tells a good story on "Denccn” Ellis, which Illustrates the perseverance of the man and his ability to get what he wants. After leaving the Western League in 1896, Ellis went to Newark, N. J., in the Atlantic League. The New York club had a farm in that league which Freedman was forced to give up later. Some time after Ellis wanted two New York players and called on Freedman. The New York magnate was not in a good humor when EUls came In and vented his spite on the Grand Rapids man. Freedman’s vocabulary of abuse Is unlimited. He wound up by telling Ellis that’he had better carry the hod Instead of posing as a baseball magnate. Ellis said: "Mr. Freedman, are you through? If so, I want to talk a little business with you. I need two players; you have them and I want them.” Freedman looked at Ellis in amazement. He was not even ruffled, “You can have the players,” said Freedman, "you have more horse sense than most people give you credit for." Several of Wilmot’s men have played under Freedman. They have an unlimited fund of stories to tell at his expense. McFarland tells this story; "Jimmy Ryan, the old Chicago outfielder, called on Freedman one time when Chicago was playing in New York and said: T have two friends who I would like to have see the game to-mor-row. Can I get a couple of passes?’ " 'Who are you?’ asked Freedman. "Ryan told him. “ 'Who are your friends?’ "Ryan gave the Information. “ ’Are they respectable and well to do?’ asked the New Yorker. " ‘Certainly,’ said Ryan. “ ‘Well, If they are well to do, I guess they had better pay their way to to the game. We are not running a charitable Institution. Good morning/ ”

The young athletes representing the leading high schools in the State and entered In the interscholastic track and field meet at Newby Oval this afternoon arrived this morning. The excellent work of the Veedersburg boys in their preliminary meet made them favorites among the outside schools. Manual Training High School, of this city, is expected to win first place. Much interest is expressed by the visiting athletes In the trophy offered by The Indianapolis News, and many of them visited the Lelber art store and looked at the handsome model. The trophy is entirely a new departure in symbolic prizes, and more In harmony with the nature and significance of such contests than has ever before been offered In Indiana. It Is in the form of a shield, three feet In diameter, and represents a race in the old Greek stadium, three young men running, with a fourth figure holding in his hand the victor's wreath. The design of this shield was made by Vonnegut A Bohn, of this city, and the model In plaster by Rudolph Schwartz, sculptor. It will be put Into enduring form as toon as possible, but the work will require some time.

Big Nine and Outside Institutions Fought It Out at Chicago To-Day. CHICAGO, June L—Western college men gathered In force here to-day and the two big field and truck meets were fought out In the presence of shouting thousands. The split between the "Big Nine” and the outside colleges caused by the former’s refusal to let other institutions have any voice In the control of athletic affairs, resulted in rival meets to-day. On Marshall Field teams from Wisconsin, Michigan, Chicago, Minnesota, Northwestern. Purdue, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois and Beloit tried for the supremacy of the Intercollegiate Conference Athletic Association, otherwise known as the “Big Nine.” Michigan, Wisconsin and Chicago had the most formidable teams. The Wolverines were generally picked as the winners. At Ravenswood, teams from Notre Dame, Drake, Grinnell, Knox. Lake Forest, Carleton, Lawrence, Illinois College, Yankton, 8. D„ and the University of South Dakota contested. Notre Dame and Grinnell had the strongest teams. The winners In to-day s “Big Nine” meet will be asked to take part In the sports at the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo this summer. Last night coach Stagg, of the University of Chl-

Road Race Referee, Backed by tha Bicycle Dealers, Oppose Chandler. Referee Frank Erdelmeyer, of the Decoration day road race, will contest the suit filed by Arthur Chandler to recover the two wheels he claims to have won. Erdelmeyer said to-day that the bicycle dealers have promised to back him In the case. If Chandler can show that he won the prises fairly, Erdelmeyer says he will be among the first to acknowledge the error. But from appearances, he think, that will be impossible. Erdelmeyer believes Chandler must have had a confederate waiting at the Intersection of the Fall creek and White river free gravel road, ready to start for Allisonville as soon as the first rider appeared on the road leading east from Broad Ripple. Then^he thinks, while the confederate maddlfe circuit to Alltsonville, was checkq^^kere and came down the Allisonville Chandler followed the White river road south to where It meets the Allisonville road, at Hammond park. This would save several miles and Chandler could have started from Hammond Park as toon as the confederate appeared. The officials of the race are being criticised for not having guards at the White nver road, crossing the road followed east from Broad Ripple. In years past men have been stationed there to prevent a collusion such as Is charged in this year’s contest. The trick charged against Chandler is not entirely new. It having been worked in a Chicago road race, several years ago. The testimony on which the officials will rely in defending the case will be the fact that Chandler’s number—26—was registered as sixteenth at Broad Ripple and first at A1Usonvllle, when it Is only a few miles between the two towns, aiid none of the riders who were ahead of him at Broad Ripple saw him pass them. Business Men’s Matinee Races. On account of the bad condition of the track there were only two races at the Business Men’s Driving Park yesterday afternoon, and they were Just "patched u ^ aff f ,rs of hor8e * all classes. The first was won by W. W. Baker’s Nellie Fisher.
