Postmaster Bras received the new
cancelllng machine for the postoffice
Tuesday and it was at once put
into operation. The machine is a
great time saver in cancelling stamps
for outgoing mail and placing the re-
ceiving hour on letters that come in.
The machine works by hand power
but can be rugged up for an electrical
apparatus. Its speed is only limited
to the capacity of turning the ma
chine. It is quite an innovation in
the local postofice. Postmaster Bras
is doing quite we'll in securing better
facilities in the various departments
of the office.

TRADE REVIEW.
Conservatism the Rule in the Bust
ness World - Prospects for
steady Gains Brighter.

New York, Sept. 5.--R. G. Dun &
Co Weekly Review of Trade says;
"a striking contrast appears when
comparison is made with the CORE,
spending week last year. Prices were
then teIsling upward in many branches
OF industry, new business was COM
ing forward more rapidly than il
could be handled, and in the security
market all records for activity and
high prices were being surpassed,
Later events have demonstrated that
the situation was unhealthy, and spec
ulatiYe excuses have been followed by
reaction and readjustment. Prospects
for steady gains and their mainten-
nance are brighter under the present
system. Legitimate trade win con-
tinue to suffer from the losses in spec
ulation, and the high rates for COM
mercial loans will initiate against in
dustrial expansion, but in the long run
larger degree Of caution should
prove beneficial. Buyers are coming
to the leading markets in great num-
Der, and testify to the sound condition
Of business at the interior Manufac-
turing plants are busy throughout New
England aside from cotton mills, and
there is notable activity in wearing
apparel at the south, while prospects
for large fall retail trade are bright
everywhere. Already there is traffic
congestion at several points, despite
TIE fact that crops have only just be-
gun to move, and railway earnings in
August show gains Of 9.3 per cent.
over last year and ia per cent.
over 1901. Unproftably low prices
have had the effect of cutail-
ing production in the iron and steel
industry. Labor and other costs OF
production, with the SINCE exception
of fuel, are much higher, while con-
sumers are slow to purchase even at the
extensive decline that has occurred
during the current year.
Failures this week in the United
States are 1911, against 176 last week,
23S the preceding week, and 200
the corresponding week last year, and in
Canada against, 33 last week, the
preceding week and 70 last year"
Bradstreet's says: Crop deveI-
opments have been most favorable, fall
jobbing trade reports indicate further
Improvement and monetary conditions
show less tension. The tone of general
business is conservative, and the ten
dency is to eliminate anything in the
nature of speculation or over-exten-
sion from general business. Manufac.
turing industry shows continued activ.
ity in such lines as cotton and silk
production, which note the influence
Of special conditions, and some lines
of iron and steel. Failures show only
the usual midsummer volume, so far
as number is concerned, but August
suspensions foot up larger total OF
liabilities, particularly of small f1nan-
cial Institutions and manufactures
Collections are still rather backward
though some Improvement is noted
where backward crops have beer
realized upon.

THE FOURTH or lpLY.

The American Medical association
has made a final report on Fourth. oil
July casualties.
-Four hundred and fifteen deaths
have been reported caused by lock
jaw. In nearly every instance it is
the story of a wound in the hand, the
result of the explosion of blank
cartridge. OF the Ais deaths report
ed 35S are traced to the toy pistol.
Pennsylvania leads the lists with
SO deaths, Ohio has 81, Illinois has
40, and New York SO. Among the
other western states Missouri anG
Michigan report 20 deaths, Minnesots
16, Iowa IA, Wisconsin and Indiana
IL. In the northwest the only states
where deaths are not reported are
wyoming, Utah, North and South Da
kota and Nevada. IN the south the
toy pistol is not generally used and
deaths from lockjaw have been very
few.
