the sales have assumed proportions of considerable
magnitude The fall trade to have been delayed
until about the first OF September that in most de-
partments the actual inauguration of the fall campaign
has taken place during the past week And yet in
n few exceptional cases. there is not marked

will be enabled to bring about still further improvement in
spite of the foolish legislation of the law makers and tho
hope beginning be entertained that they WILL Most OF
the failures which have occurred though Of them
have been important, have not proved Of OK
