GENERAL AIR OF CONFIDENCE
Felt All Through Mercantile Centres -
Trade Steadily Expanding.

New York. Aug. 1o.-Bradstrccts will
say tomorrow:
Perhaps the most interesting feature of
the general business situation at present
is the air of confidence with which the
mercantile community awaits the APP
preach of the fall trade period. While, of
course, based in some degree upon IA
voraLle results already achieved in many
lines, 1t is unquostionably true that the
ila,tering crop outlook at home and the
return of peace, with the expectation of
benefits to our export trade naturally eX-
pectcd to accrue thercfrom make for
much Of the feeling thus expressed. Re-
Election of the growth of the fail trade is
found in the steady expansion now going
on in bank ClcaringS, the improving de-
mand at higher prices for most makes of
iron and steel, the generally favorable
railway earnings which in default of large
movement of crops to market point to a
large returning trade in manufactured
goods " the agricultural sections and the
reports of continued activity in distribu-
tive trade West and South with signs of
a moderate increase i'm interest at leading
Eastern markets which hitherto have not
shaSd largely in the trade Improvement.
The immense business doing in iron and
steel products at advanced prices. calls at
tcntion to the proportionately less notable
expansion of crude iron production. Pig
iron statistics, in fact, point to an even
smaller output for the current month
some of which curtailment. of course Is
naturally based upon midsummer cond-
tons. Advances in many grades of iron
notably besscmcr and Southern pig are
features of the week as are also higher
quotations for steel bilets at nearly all
markets, wire rods and a great many
classes of finished iron and steel, particu-
larly structural material.
The situation IN cereals shows but little
change. The balance established between
phcnomenally reduced visible supply act

SENATOR PROCTOR WILL WATCH
HIS FENCES

Washington. Aug. 19.-Among the Presl-
dents callers yesterday was Senator Proc
tor of Vermont, who came to Washington,
he said, to see what the authorities were
going to do with the volunteers from that
State He was asked If the President had
invited him TO become member of the
peace commission, and replied that he had
not. When asked If he would accept a
place If 1t were rendered TO him, the sena-
tor said he thought not. He did not see
how he could be away from Vermont
while the commission would be assembling
in Paris and entering upon its delibera-
lions. The matter of his reelection to the
Senate is to be determined by the Legis-
lature to be chosen next month. Senator
Proctors views about holding the Philip
pines, he said, were illustrated by the
experience OF the man who found himsel.

IT Is a very remarka BILE circums lance that
out of this comparatively small, though
heterogeneous population, there are 1900
lepers, and In spite of all endeavor TO
stamp 1t out leprosy is increasing.
1t is also peculiar circumstance that
while we broke treaty with China to ex-
cude her people from the United States We
should annex q 900 Chinese to the popula-
ton of the country. 1t Is true that they
are forbidden by the terms of the annexa-
ton act to enter other portions of the
United States, but such prohibi-
ton will hardly stand against
the Fourteenth Amendment of

tiss. Bve It stands to reason that any
drug thai will prevent the fermenta-
ton q milk win also prevent the nee
essa1y fermentation Of that and other
foods In the human stomach. We do
not want to take into the human sys-
tenn a drug that is against life. We
do not know what the continual accre-
ton Of such q chemical may accom-
plish in the end. It may act as q slow
poison. With infants and invalids this
is particularly dangerous. The proper
course for the milkman and butter
maker is to protect the cleanliness Of
their products, and then preservatives
will have no place. See that all things
are kept clean and that no impurity
gets into the milk and butter, and their
keeping qualities will endure to any
reasonable limit of time. Perfectly
pure milk, placed in an ice chest, has
been sent across the Atlantic ocean
and been returned to New York in q
perfectly sweet condition. What has
been done in a few cases can be done
in many cases.
