is more than probable the coming month, as
with it will doubtless come the cooler weather
needed to give snap to trade. In commenting
or the condition of trade the New York Ship
ping List says: While the signs of prosperity
within our own borders are unmstakable, the
condition of affairs abroad has restricted the out
let for commodities of which we are the largest
industries of Great Britain have been disturbed
by labor strikes and lockouts that for the time
being have caused spinners to buy their raw
material sparingly, and hence the moderate ex-
port movement of cotton. The dullness of trade
and abundant crops in Europe, as we'll as the
speculative control of our own markets have re-
stricted the outlet for wheat flour,
corn and petroleum. while the threat
enlng aspect of political affairs in
various parts of Europe has unsettled CONNER
cal affairs to some extent, and without this I'M
portant outlet for our staple products, a sgnif-
cant element with respect to commercial
prosperity has been lacking. The United States
has become, however, an important factor in the
commercial activity of the world and sooner or
later the improvement experienced here must be
reflected where our relations are so close and
important. BETTER tines in America means a
good deal to the trade and industries OF the old
world, and as soon as they feel the reviving in
fiuences of better demand for their products
from this side, they in turn will be in position
to buy rom US more freely. Meanwhile we can
not expect to sell our wheat and petroleum so
long as we hold prices so much above the parity
OF European markets. So far as prices are con-
cerned locally there are no changes calling for
special mention. Nails advanced another %
