BRILLIANT WEEKEND DANCE
Most Largely Attended of the
Season at Seashore Hotel Last Night
42S Guests Served to supper.

The week just closed has been one Of
the NOSE enjoyable Of the whole sea-
son on Wrightsvill Beach. Exceeding
ly large crowds have been there each
day and the Seashore Hotel has been
we'll taxed to entertain the throng of
guests.
The weekend ball at that hotel last
night was a fitting finale for the week.
About eighty couples participated in
the dance and an extraordinarily large
number of visitors were present. be-
sides h numerous city and beach
residents. The music furnished by Pro-
lessor Milier's orchestra again came in
for Well-merited praise.
Before dancing began supper was
served in elegant style and ample plen-
titude and variety and embraced all
the seaside delicacies. The Seasnore
last night served supper to 42S people.
This is a record-breaker on the each,
and Manager Hinton was as usual
thoroughly equal to the emergency,
the last served having just as COM
plete a variety and as elegant service
as those who were first served. The
present season is proving by far the
most successful in the history of the
resort

IL the great increase IN failures TO
$780, SIC. 134 in the first al OF lsW'
against SIS. ss4. ss1 last year. and es
pecially to $43. s33.03s in he second
quarter against 81. SOS. $50 last year,
failure returns would be worth noSn-
ing; but today it Is shown that thirty
banking failures for s25. sSe.s So. against
thirty-one last year for s. .s0I.a2s &C
counted for much difference: that go
brokerage and real estate failures for
So. liza S45. agains, las last year for
only s, SIS l5 accounted for another
part. n that in building and lumber
working and trade other large failures
distinctly connected with those in real
estate explain how much more OF the
difference between manufacturing and
trading failures last year and this In
these and much less important changes
In a few other lines are seen substan-
TALLY all the commercial disasters as
vet resulting from an amazing rise in
prices last year, followed by weary.
but largely successful efforts during
the past few months to get back TO n
normal state Of business When this
Is seen and the remarkable steadiness
in the number and size OF the great
majority of failures not for exception
al amounts. there ppears round Tor
especial satisfaction hal business has
been on the whole so soundly conduct
ed under conditions OF unusual danger.
The Iron Age makes the output OF
pig 2sS.4 l3 tons weekly July LIST. but
the decrease OF 1e. ZOO tons has by this
time been exceeded. other furnaces
having stopped this month. and repairs
OF works and OF wage scales may Yet
occupy some weeks. The increase OF
SO. 95S tons in stocks unsold implies de-
crease in manufacture more than
double the decrease In output and
works of five OF the great corporations
are waiting for decline IN wages just
when the workers have looked for in
crease. Open markets are now ad-
mitted at Pittsburg. where quotations
have been for some time nominal. and
Bessemer pig is offered there at SIC.
Cotton speculation has held the price
too high for the comfort OF foreign
%spinners who have not provided for
all their wants. but the arrangement
by the Fall River committee to close
for a month or more a large part OF
the New England mills will clear away
many disputes about the market for
goods The end OF the crop year a
brought the usual estimates which
command not more confidence than
usual. IL the country can get out Of
the crop officially SAT, 900. 900 bushels
for export, with considerable left over
in sight, IL is the easy inference that
anxiety is needless.
There is not evidence as yet, and for
some time to come ann be. hat in
juries sustained have been so great as
some suppose, so that alarm is not
more necessary than Ii was last yea
Failures for the week have been 195

Tallulah DeRosset has been engaged

that a sail around the harbor and

events The committee on entertain
