The Fall Trade Outlook.
A HOPEFUL. REVIEW By THE NEW YORK
"TlMES.'

A HOPEFUL REVIEW By THE Ne" lohh
"TlMES.'
NEW YORK, August 22.-Thc Times this
morning. reviewing the fall trade outlook,
SAYS: When last fall businessmen were IN
Structed to say what the prospect in trade
was for the immediate future they were full
OF confidence that the bottom had been
reached, and that new era OF prosperity
was about to begin. 1t did not begin, how
ever, Immediately. and the winter, to most
OF them, was one OF dependency. Since
then a very slight general improvement has
taken place, and the condition and prospects
arc given as they appear to merchants them
selves. ....
In the grain trade there is great hope OF 4
good time coming with the immense crops
from the West, and there lisa steady, health
full growth in the produce and grocery
trades, which encourage men who are salts
fed with small profits. TheVolumc OF bllsl-
ness done by grocer> Is larger up to this
time than it was at corresponding date last
year.
The clothing manufacturers are feeling 4
small but good inquiry for their wares.
There has been and is animation among
the boot and shoe manufacturers, and the
hatters say they have not done so much
business for many years.
Hard as the times are called the piano
makers have had Il good business, and the
dry-soodS trade reports indicate an im-
pr0yement OF from thirty to fifty per cent.
in leading houses. There is not so mulch
disposition to-day as there was last August
to make sanguine predictions, but the con-
viction is strong upon Businessmen that
they will keep the ground they have reco-
vered. and continue to do fair business
with moderate returns.

L Place where Nobody was Ever

From The Suffolk Hera
DISMAL SWAMP.

Thi, section OF country. bordereu by the
counties Of Norfolk and Nansemond in Fir-
GINA, and ty Gates and Camden in North
Carolina. is remarkable for many things. 1t
Is not properly swamp in the general ac-
ceptat!on Of the word, but it is, in fact, Il
depression or basin on elevated land, its
suulmit-lerel being twenty-five feet above
i!dewater ut Norfolk. In truth, it ought TO
be called the great Virginia and North Caro-
ma juniper Basin. It's area is about twenty
miles square, and centrally located in it is
- Lake Drunmond," made famous by the
poet Tom Moore. This lake Is six miles
wide and seven long, with depth OF fiji
teen feet. The lake is prolific OF tish-such az
club, specklcd perch, black fish, gar, brown
perch. and catfish. The game OF the swamp
II abundant, and consists OF deer, bear, rae
coon, wild cat, squirrels, and other small
zane. However strange II may seem to the
unlhitialcd it may safely and truthfully be
SAID That there is 30 place in the known
world more hcalthfui or more conducive to
longevity than IN the midst Of this so-catled
swamp. There is no reason for death eX-
ccpt, from extreme old age. There never
mas been q ease OF sickness OF any kind
Whatever known in the swamp, although
hundreds OF men have spent the greater
DIis q thelr lives there in getting lumber.
