THE WEEKS TRADE
Dun's Review shows the Usual AuCust
Shrinkage-6rain PRICES

NEW YORK. Aug. "a. R G. Dun &
The volume of business shrinls, as is
natural in August, and the shrinkage
seems rather larger than usual, be-
cause transactions in July were
somewhat inflated for that month.
Some industries are doing more
than ever before in August. and
the prospect for fall trade is
good in others, although much depends
on the crops, and the outcome is less
clear than the spectators on either
side are disposed to admit Industrial
troubles have not entirely ceased, but
during the past week have become
much less threatening.
The price of wheat has fallen 3sl
cents during the week, recovering
a fraction on Thursday, in spite

Circus People Steal the Brightest Children
and She Knew They Had Dave
The boy was lost at the circus
AT least his mother said he was and
she ought to know. Moreover, every
one in the neighborhood knew it. too,
for she was proclaiming the fact Of his
disappearance in every grocery and on
every corner. and to every other
mother that she knew.
He went to the circus with me and

had plenty of time on his hands is
he red-headed. with twisted eyes and
plenty of freckles on his nose? Does
he look as if he were never washed,
and are his stockings in holes. and has
his coat been made up of some one
else's old one, and does he walk splay-
footed like rheumatic turtle. and IS
he kind of -witted?''
The man in the sunburned suit was
wise enough to edge away as ne asked
these questions. and when he finally
escaped he muttered: That's all you
get for trying to help a woman. She
just gets mad. 1t might have been her

The mother spent two hours chasing
up and down streets and asking about
her boy and, at last. dead tired, she
walked home, heavy-hearteG and

was enjoying his supper and the boy
was facing him at the table. with Z
piled-up plate and satisfaction in every
feature. for the circus had sharpened
his appetite.
As she came in the husband had
asked: Where is your mother" and
the boy was replying with his mouth
full of meat-pie: Guess she's lost.
Shouldn't wonder if some Of those cir
Gus men had stolen her."
And then the mother told the boy
that if he ever left her side when she
took him to the circus again it would
be the last time.-N. \. Press
