General Business Situation Shows Signs oil
Even Greater Expansion.

The general trade situation has appar-
emily lost nothing in strength. The ag.
gregate midsummer business is of an I'M
precedented volume and signs of ex-
pansion in the demand for fall and win.
ter goods increase. Prices, except for tn,
cereals, coffee, raw sugar and some
dairy products, are either firmly held or
tend upward. Notable among those ad.
vanced are pork products, petroleum,
copper, tin, tin plates and raw wool,
while the list Of products unchanged in
cludes refined sugar, hides. leather lead
and cotton.
Crop prospects are encouraging, the
movement of grain to market is of i'm
mense volume and railroad earnings con-
sequently are showing large increases
over preceding years. The weakness of
cereals, while partly due to cessation in
the foreign demand developed by stories
of crop damage, is quite as much owing
to unprecedentedly heavy receipts of old
crop grain at leading primary markets
and the belief that present good CROP
conditions point to liberal supplies later
Ia the season Possibilities that the
present corn crop will equal, If not ex-
coed, the largest on record have de-

Iron and steel retain all of their old

are unchanged, further advances in crude

industry has exercised some influence
upon industrial operations.
In textile circles the situation is one of
unabated strength, but particularly so In
wool and wooden goods. Manufacturers
are freer buyers at the east and theiI
agents are purchasing heavily at the
west. Quotations for fine grades are
consequently higher all around. In the
market for finished goods, orders are OF
large volume, particularly in worsteds
and some concerns are cutting down con-
sumers' orders, claiming inability to de.

Is increasing slowly at the east and the

Ingersoll was born in Dresden, N. Y,
Aug. II, 1888, and was the son of Con-
gregationalist minister. 1t Is stated that
the Rev. Mr.. Ingersoll was somewhat
liberal in his views, and that this lib
erality antagonized the more orthodox
members of his congregation. The son
naturally agreed with his father, but
even before he had passed out Of boy
hood he had gone much further upon the
liberal road than Ingersoll, ST.. had ever
dreamed of.
Early in the forties the Ingersolls re-
moved to Wisconsin and little later to
southern Illinois. Bob Ingersoll's boy
hood and early manhood were passed in
that state. At Is he entered the office
of his elder brother, Ebon C. Ingersoll
when of age was admitted to the ILL
nois bar, and with his brother opened a

tics. Ebon G. became congressman, and
at that time it was Roberts highests
ambition to be himself sent to the house
Of representatives from his home dis
trict. In 1857 he removed to Peoria,
where he thought the field would be
wider and his political ambition more
likely to be gratified. de devoted much
of his time to political speaking, and ac-
quired considerable local fame.
In 1860 his opportunity came. He was
then offered the Democratic nomination
in a district that was overwhelmingly
Republican. He accepted, and was beat
en- out of his boots. His disappointment
was so severe that he never ran for office
again. He settled down to the practice
of law, but upon the breaking out of the
civil war entered the Union army after
organizing regiment of cavalry, the
Eleventh Illinois, of which he was made
colonel. He made reputation as SOL
der for personal daring and dash. Most
of his service was in Tennessee.
Ingersoll never denied that there was
a God. He used to say that the Bible
was beautiful book and he would give
all he had if he could believe in its prom
Uses. Upon the death of his brother he
delivered a brief eulogy which was quot
ed by many as an indication that he was
about to embrace Christianity, but this
was not true.
