STRIKES A Big FACTOR
HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL
TO BUSINESS.
THE WEEKLY TRADE REVIEWS.

Improved Conditions are Shewn by the
Activity in Almost All Manufactur-
Ing Lines-NO Important Change in
Crop PrOspects-COttOn Advanced an
Eighth in Price During the Week
While Corn Tended to Lower Prices
The Centre OF Activity is in the West.
NEW YORK, Aug. Or. G.. Dun &
Co., in their Weekly Review will say;
Business continues unusually active for
midsummer and though there is pre-
ceptible relaxation there is no sign of re-
action. The one change of great import
ance which the past week has brought
is eminently helpful-the amicable settle
ment between coal miners and employers
in West Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana.
have their wages increased after October
1st, by the adjustment and while the en-
largement of purchasing power is of con-
sequence it seems even more important
that chronic cause Of controversy has
been removed by the new agreement as
to company stores.
There is no important change in crop
prospects, and at this time no news is
eminently good news.
Speculation has been more successful
in cotton than in any other product dur
ing the past week, and has lifted the
price an eighth. Wheat has declined a
fraction with very scanty transactions,
the extremely small western receipts in
fuencing the market for the present
more than the restricted exports.
Corn tends to lower prices with more
encouraging prospects, and the expecta-
ton Of heavy corn crop affects prices
of provisions, as might be expected.
The industries continue to make pro-
gress, and higher prices for iron and
steel products prove that the supply has
not yet out run the demand.
Some staple cotton goods have again
advanced in price, and the market is
unusually strong for the season.
Failures for the week were, 1926 in the
United States against 264 last year, and
43 in Canada against 81 last year.
Bradstreet's Review.
NEW YORK, Aug. o. Bradstreets to-
morrow will say
The features of the business week are
continued with remarkable strength for
demand, increase in the production Of,
and the advance in prices Of steel and
IRON. Striking as was the demand for
and advance in the price of wheat,
leather, cotton and other staples for a
month or two following March 1st.,
last; no rebounds since the depression of
1894 has been stronger or more surpris-
ing than that In iron and steel
OF the same nature is the evidence Of
improved business conditions shown by
the activity in almost all manufacturing
lines, more particularly, of course, those
in which iron and steel are employed.
The center of commercial activity at
the West follows line drawn from st.
Louis through Chicago, st. Paul and
Minneapolis, with an improving demand
also shown along the Ohio River Valley.
Wholesalers at Chicago and st. Louis re-
port the receipt of good orders for dress
goods, hats, caps, clothing and shoes, to
a large degI ee, the result of personal Sc
lection by interior merchants.

icanism.

An AIISS-clnner speakers flea amer
icanism.
A dinner was arranged in a southern
city in honor of visitor from north
ern state, and the host, when the cigars
were lighted, began to rally his guest
by repeating some of the usual section
al jokes, says the Youths Companion.
I'VE now have northern Yankee at
our mercy" he remarked, loosely, land
hope that he will not be intimidated by
the presence of so many southerners.
We can assure him that revOlvers and
bowie-knives have been left in the
antcroom, and that he is safe, at least
until we get our hats and arms"
Everybody laughed and expected
that the visitor would respond to this
badinage by making full use of his
privilege of ridiculing southern pecul-
iarities. He surprised the company by
speaking in another vein.
Our host" he began, travelled with
me in Europe, and l observed that
wherever we went he registered him
self as an American, and never as a
southerner. l thought it was good
example TO follow, and invariably put
myself down, not as a northerner, but
simply and proudly as an American.
What seems to me singular Is the fact
that two men, who. were content to
travel all over Europe as Americans,
should fancy that they are anything
else in their own country. l do not
know why l should be anything at
home that l am not when l have
crossed the sea and gone among for
eigners."
BY this time the company perceived
that they were TO have something bet
ter than old-time Yankee talk and Sec
tional quips. They encouraged the Wis
itor to continue by applauding him
heartily.
He ended by making common-sense
appeal for a more general use of the
good old word American"
LET us not be proud of our common
country" he said, when we are abroad
among strangers, and ashamed of it
when we are at home. l am from the
north and you are in the south, but
there is no source of patriotic pride
which is open to you that is not mine
as well by virtue of my birthright as an
American. Nor can l glory in anything
that is not yours also"
The company rose when the visitor
sat down and joined in singing Hail
Columbia" and Hes jolly good fell
low" They voted it one of the best
after dinner speeches which they had
ever heard, and congratulated him
heartily upon his success in su bstitutino
wholesome and stimulating patriotism
in place of the light diet of acrid Sec
tional jokes.

Western Reserves for the breeding a,
Buffalo. Elk, Etc.

Buffalo. Elk, Etc.
Most wild animals are much more To-
cal in their habits than we imagine;
that is, they become attached 10 some
especial small range of country, TO
which they confine themselves at GER
tain seasons of the year. We see, says
a writer In Harper's Weekly, the same
thing in our domestic stock on the
range. A bunch of horses will live for
months in some little set of ravines,
feeding over the same ground day in
and day out, until some change in the
weather causes them to move to another
locality. The same is true of range
cattle, though they wander more than
horses. Though all species of our
western wild game wholly change their
range in spring and autumn, yet, after
they have settled down on their sum-
mer or winter ranges, the area that
they cover in their daily wanderings is
not extensive. At certain hours of the
day they go TO water; at particular
time they will be found lying down,
usually in the same place, or feeding in
the same neigh borhood. The hunter
established in one locality, who is
fairly observant, who has time to ia
miliarize himself with a particular
range Of country and its wild inhabit-
ants, and who does not wantonly
disturb them, will learn after a
time just where to look for small
groups of the various species. On
horse ranch, where, in the past, have
spent much time, l came to know ex-
actly where to go If l wished to find
two or three little companies of mule
deer or of antelope, and at last believed
that / could recognize the different in
dividuals of the various groups. In the
same way l know certain valleys,
plateaus, or ridges where can be quite
sure of finding little bunch of noun
tain sheep, known to be the same by
number and ages of its members. /
have watched for several successive
days the same family of white goats
feeding on the mountain-sides above
my camps, and can go to certain rough
slopes of slide rock and precipice where
these animals are always to be found.
That elk and moose have essentially
the same habit have no doubt, al
though have not been able to verify
my belief by observation in the case of
these species. The caribou is said to be
more of wanderer.
In the National park there are be-
lieved to be now about two Thousand
buffaloes, fifteen thousand to twenty
thousand elk, five hundred antelope,
and an unknown number of moose,
deer, mountain-sheep, and bears. But
there is no reason why there should not
be many other such breeding-centers,
where big game should be preserved
and very greatly increase.

The cool; calm resignation of women
was illustrated during the recent Sc
we're earthquake which shocked the City
of Mexico. A correspondent of the
Boston Herald, writing from that city,
tells the story of how women accept
the inevitable: "Some Mexican lady
friends were at church, praying for the
rest of us, up in the northern part of the
city, when, as they relate to me, they
felt faint, and all at once heard the
roof crack and saw mortar falling all
around them, while the great chande-
liers swung back and forth as in a
steamer in a storm. asked them why
they did not get up and run, but they
replied simply we just shut our
eyes. commended our souls to our
Maker, and went on with our prayers
for the city full of reopler"
