Quiehed Guest

Stowe, July S.-Rear Admiral Charles Il.

eight people sat down to the table and
there were more trout than could be eaten.
The admiral and party on leaving the lake

COW for Montpelier. The admiral expressed
himself as charmed with the surroundings
of the lake. The biggest mountain peak in
view of the lake was christened Mt. Ad-
miral Clark The stowe people who had
an opportunity to meet the admiral found
him seeking rest and pleasure and as in
formal in his manner as boy, which add
ed much to the respect they already felt
for him. Later the admiral and his fam
fly will return to Stowe and visit Mt
Mansfield.

MORE CONFIDENCE FELT
Crops So Near Maturity That Damage
Ia Little Feared.

New York, July 25.-R. G. Dun Co.'s
weekly review Of trade tomorrow will say:
Each day brings the agricultural pro-
ducts of the nation nearer maturity and as
the possibility OF any serious injury be-
comes smaller the feeling Of confidence Is
fully sustained this grows stronger. The
threatened sympathetic strike Of bitumn-
Gus miners has been averted and aside from
number Of small disputes among garment
workers the labor outlook has improved.
insufficient fuel is the one serious diff
Guilty In teh iron and steel industry inter-
ruptons and delays from this cause are
more noticeable each day. Supplies of coal
are curtailed by the strike and although
coke ovens are making new records of pro-
ducton. shipments are retarded by the car
and motive power shortage. All forms Of
pig iron proceedings are sold far ahead and
there is no evidence of over production in
the near future at least. Makers Of aSri-
cultural machinery and tools grow more
confident as the season advances.
Foot wear factories have returned to al
most full operation, contracts coming for
ward freely from wholesalers at the large
cities. The sensational advance OF hides
has hardened the tone Of the leather mar
ket. Hemlock sole has the additional sup
port Of liberal purchases for Great Britain.
New lines Of mems wooden and worsted
fabrics are opened slowly, the most import
ant goods not yet appearing. Quotations
are unchanged with the tone steady and
raw material in better demand.
Failures this week in the United States
are 2OS against 2l3 last week 1913 the preced-
Gin week and 1893 the corresponding week
