FALL TRADE BRISK.
Encouraging Outlook from the South
and West

New York. Aug. 12.-Reports to the In
ternational Mercantile Agency from COM
marcial centers indicate increased distri-
button of merchandise at the West and
South with excellent outlook for brisk
fall trade. Adverse factors such as
strikes and crop damage while curtailing
local business in some parts of the coun-
try have not been generally effective in
terf0ing little with business as whole.
For these reasons the outlook is encourag-
ing, although trade is apt to remain quiet
till after election. when the outlook for
the fall can be more clearly discerned
Conditions in the West are especially
ing shoes. mems and womcn's apparel

branches Of business have shown some
falling off. although the decrease has not
bean important or very much below the
volume III sight at this date year ago.
The South shows well with reports Of
excellent business al Louisville and sur
rounding country. which appears to be
unusually prosperous
PittSburg reports revival of hope in
the iron trade due to better inquiry for
future deliveries and gradually stiffening
prices. Far-reaching disturbance is not
expected to follow the cut in billet prices
which one producing concern, this week,
promulgat ted. and unless unforeseen obsta-
cles are encountered there will be no dis
