 So. too, did the originators of many other recipes that have since proved valuable gold mines to their heirs and successors. It Is said for example. that Giovanni Farina. the inventor of eau de cologne. once offered to sell outright the formula of it's preparation for the equivalent. in English money. or fT50.

BRADsTREETs REVIEW.

New York. July 22.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Good progress by most crops strengthens belief in favorable fall trade following the present season of comparative quiet and inactivity. Among the industries, quietness and even dullness is still the feature, but rather more is doing in the leather trade. foreshadowing later develop ments in the shoe business and the production of iron and steel is being rapidly curtailed with a resulting firm CT tone to pig iron prices. Several basic industries will show little tend ency to revive. Notably among those is soft coal mining, which Is very much depressed, and it is tO be noted that demand for anthracite coal is not so active as heretofore. The cotton goods industry, unsettled for more thaa- year past by cratic price movements and short time. now faces another disturbance in the threatened strike of Fall River print cloth hdE Is. Railway earnings finished the fiscal year much better than earlier expect ed. It is probable they will show tho heaviest volume of gross and net ever recorded.
 Warm weather helped retail trade as a whole. Business failures iR the United States for the week ending July 22, number 190. against 213 last week and 193 in the like week of 1903 In Canada failures for the week number 19 as against IS last week and 20 this week a year ago.
