COUNTRY'S TRADE WELL MAIN TANNED Labor Troubles CurtaiI Output
 of Few Products IRON SHOWS WEAKNESS Makers of Cotton Goods Find No Busi- ness Offering Excep. for Small
 orders-Ralway Earnings
 Still Show Gains.
IRON SHOWS WEAKNESS

New York, August 21.-R. c. Dun's weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Business is we'll maintained aside from the quieting influence of the vacation sea- son which somewhat restricts trade as regards collection. Labor controversies still exist curtailing the output of few products and the consumption of all the necessary things of life.
 Crops are not going to market as freely as usual, although the agricultural out look is distinctly favorable In spite of several obvious reasons for expecting check to freight traffic. earnings of rail- ways thus far reported in August show an average gain of 9,6 per cent over last year and 1S.2 per cent over 1901. Complaint is beginning to be heard regarding the inadequate facilities of the railroads and 1t now appears that inconvenience and loss must again be experienced notwith- standing the extensive improvements. Sensational stories of the large numb of buyers now at this center and the fab ulous sums that they spend cannot be ac- cepted as satisfactorily accurate, but it is probable that an increase over all pre- vious years is actually occurring. despite the demoralization in cotton goods caused by speculation in the raw material. Coke Depressed.
 Although production of coke at Con- nellsvlle has been moderately curtailed. supplies accumulate and prices are de- pressed. A fairly liberal tonnage of iron has been placed during the past week providing abundant demand for all the pig that is being made More large con tracts for iron and steel have been placed by a prominent manufacturer of agricul- tural machinery, and as much of this business has been held back on account of prices, 1t Is believed that no further concessions are to be expected.
 Makers of cotton goods find no business offering except such small orders for inn mediate requirements as emanate from urgent dealers
 Moderate orders for light weight wool ems and worsteds have been placed for spring delivery. Heavy shipments of shoes from Boston make striking com parisons with preceding years, and the volume of new business promises to main- tain T heavy movement, but there is a tendency to operate moderately and ire quently this year. rather tLan to buy seldom and largely.
 Somewhat easier prices for the great food staples testify to brighter crop pros poets.
 Failures this week numbered 23S in the United States against POT last year and in Canada compared with 30 a year ago.

from hand to mouth. New England hides are lower.
Weakness In Iron.

Weakness in southern foundry iron is noted at eastern markets and Bessemer pig iron is reported offered at S1 per ton lower at Pittsburg than week ago, with supplies for immediate delivery more in evidence. Large buying of pig iron is less noticeable than it was one or two weeks ago. Steel billets are less active but fair ly firm. Merchant bars, sheets and plates in finished products are reported in much better call, but the demand for structural material is light Copper was marked up this week, partially it is thought to affect stock market quotations
 Wheat. including flour. exports for the week ending August 20, aggregate 3,372.IS2 bushels against 3,413,191 last week. For seven weeks of the cereal year they az gregate 21 S33,233 against 3l. 339 769 in 1902
 Corn exports for the week aggregate 5o9, 495 against 707,3S7 last week. For seven weeks of the cereal year they aggregate 745S,975 against 6395O9 in 1902.
 Business failures in the United States for week ending August 20. number 166 against 160 last week and 1S1 in the like week of 1902. In Canada the failures for the week number 14 as against F last week and 26 in this week a year ago.

Dressing the School Girl.

1t is sheer cruelty to send girl to
school badly dressed, and the idea that
until she 'comes out" anything is good
enough for school girl exposes her to
more unpleasantness at school than par
ents are aware. Many girls are relent-
less critics, and even though they may
do their best to conceal their feelings
and ideas on the point a sensitive child
will very soon discover in countless
ways what is the effect of her general
appearance upon her schoolfellows
Another point is that a certain stage Of
their growth some girls hands look
abnormally large, and it is quite a com
mon mistake on the part of mothers to
accentuate this feeling which, by the
way, is very often temporarily
giving them clumsy and i'll made gloves.
One has only to take peep back into
ones own past to see how hard such
treatment is and how much higher
strung nature goes on account of these
seeming trifles. On the other hand,
there are quite number of mothers
who overdress their girls to a ridicu-
lous extent and allow them a measure
of freedom of opinion and action that
can naturally only be abused by parti.
ally developed brain and mind.

The Home.

\ good home is deathless in its influ-
ence. Parents may be gone or not.
The old homestead may be sold and
passed out of the possession of the family
circle. The house itself may be torn
down, and it may even be, that all of
the childish land marks have been
erased. But still there is something that
remains around that sacred birth place
of yours, that cannot be explained in
words, but it is something that is in US
wonder back to our first home. Their
are none ofus that can look back to this
spot on earth without it giving US some
degree Of gladness or sorrow. Home
is more than roof to a son. Unless
the undying affection of 4 fond mother
has been there it has not been a home
such as we speak of, for it has been her
that has marked out the land mark that
can never be erased from our memory.
But how many of us look back respect
fully to the days of our child hood and
wish that we had our child life to live
over again. 1t seems to us the pappiest
portion of human life. Those were the
days that we were al freq from care,
and 50 easily satisfied with its little
sport and passtime. You often hear it
remarked, iff just had those days to
live again | would get good education
and | would use my parents better, and
a thousand other things, and it all
comes from this home influence. IF the
boys and girls of to-day could only be
impressed with the fact that their school
days only come once, how much more
carefully they would handle them. Re
member that you can only wonder back
to the days of childhood and OF the old
home to love and not to act-Dayton

No Enemies, No Friends.

An exchange very truthfully remarks
that the man who has no enemies has
no friends. It is only the weaking that
struggles though life With 50 little force
thathe cannot array people to fight for
and against him. 1t is the weaking
who is referred to as a harmless sort of
a fellow. AS fellow who has always
done the best that he could, but never
succeeded in accomplishing much, and
in the general summing up it is found
that there is nothing either bad or good
about him.
Men of force assert themselves. It's
only natural that they find other honest
men differ from them in opinion and
make enemies as we'll as friends No
honest man who tries to do right ever
made an enemy without at the same
time making friend, and it is usua lily
the case that he makes several friends
while he is making an enemy.
The weakling who tries to please
everybody pleases no person and finds
that he gains nothing for his efforts.
The people whom he tries to please he
serves only half, aed he neither offends
nor pleases any person, but disgusts
everybody.
Amy principle that is right is worth
fighting for, and any thing that is wrong
should never cease to be condemned.
The man who is afraid to stand up for
the right may make enemies, but he
amounts to a cipher with the rim knock.

The Local New S paper.

The late United States Senator
David Davis once made an address in
which he told great deal of truth in
regard to the work of the local paper,
saying: Every year every local paper
gives from 800 to 5000 free lines for
the benefit of the community in which
it is located. No other agency can or
will do this. The editor, in proper
tion to his means, does more for his
town than any other man, and in all
fairness, man with man, he ought to
be supportgd-not because you happen
TO like him or admire his writing, but
because local paper is the best in-
yestment a community can make. it
may not be- crowded with great
thoughts, but financially Il is of more
benefit than both preacher or teacher.

than any men ON earth, patruuize
