New YORK, N. Y, August 20
Perhaps the most interesting feature
of the general business situation at
present is the air of contide nee with
which the mercantile community
awaits the approach of the fall trade
period. While of course based in some
degree on the favorable results already
achieved in many lines, it is unques-
tionably true that the fattering crop
outlook at home and the return of
peace, with the expectation of benefits
to our export trade naturally expected
to accrue therefrom. make for much of
the feeling thus expressed. The reports
as to collections are very encouraging.
From winter wheat sections especially
reports are very good. Some slowness
is noted in payments at the northwest.
but this Is expected to disappear when
the spring wheap crop moves. Bust
ness failures are larger in ndmber

against 157 last week, but compared

New YORK Is leveling in one oil
those startling murder sensations which
periodically occur Just beneath the
social upper crust in that city. The
victim in this case was Miss Rey-
nolds. who had the fatal gifts of beauty
and wealth unaceompanied by moral
balance. A rather prominent dentist
named Kennedy is charged with tue
murder. There is no particular lesson
TO be drawn from the tragedy. To ex-
plain the case would be to unravel the
mystery when, where and why lust
and eupidity entered into the world. "
