L. 1 tional Mercantile Agen-
cy show that there has been little
change in business conditions during
the week except in districts especially
affected by reports of crop damage and
disturbance incident to the cut in steel
prices. Business on the whole shows
up well, and in most retail lines is
fully holding its own. In certain sec
tions of the West trade has been decid-
edly stimulated, with improved distri-
button and generally hopeful feeling.
Commercial centers are beginning to
feel the impetus of summer travel, and
buyers are focking to distributing
points, disposed to buy literally, al
though with marked discrimination.
This Is good sign and shows that re-
Punishment this year will be conduct
ed along conservative lines. More sea-
west has led to better results in many
lines, especially in dry goods and va
riOus branches of apparel. Boot and
shoe orders are in better volume, and
jobbers in hats and caps are forcing
factories to work overtime to keep up
with current business. This improve
ment has extended to the clothing in
dustry, the outlook for which in some
sections was reported uncertain a week
ago. Less stock than usual is believed
to have been carried over in many
lines, owing to the known conservatism
Of prominent dealers. Their experience
last winter led to the greater care ex-
ercised this year in avoiding the ''over-
stocking evil' with spring and summer
goods.
The Kansas City and St. Louis dis
tricts report another week of active
business, with steady improvement in
many lines and generally expanding
trade. The latter section especially
is feeling the stimulus of increased
trade from the Worlds Fair visitors,
whose purchases are swelling the vol
ume of ordinary business to abnormal
proportions.

ELECTION DAY is NOV. s.


Thus it stands that if Roosevelt can
carry Illinois, Indiana and one other de-
batable State he will he pretty apt to be
elected, or if he carries Illinois and MIS-
consin he will likely win in enough of
the smaller debatable States TO elect him.
On the other side, Parker must carry
New York. Wisconsin, West Virginia and
Indiana or their equivalent. He must
carry both the East and the West. If
he should carry New York. New Jersey,
Connecticut and West Virginia in the
East, he would lack II votes unless he
carried some Of the Western States. If
he should lose all these and carry Hi
nois, Indiana and Wisconsin he would
lack % votes.
The issues of both parties were made
to suit the debatable States, and while
the Republicans have slightly the best of
it. the fight is an open one.
In assigning the different States to the
different columns. the experience of pre-
vious presidential years has been the
guide. Only where a State has been
Overwhelmingly and persistently Demo-
cratic or Republican has it been assigned
arbitrar rily to either column.

Georgia Leads in Peaches.

Georgia has held the lead in the pro-
duction of peaches for the eastern mar
ket since 1902, and it is likely to be for
years to come the leading peach State
In the Union. The supremacy has been
wrested from Maryland. Twelve years
ago the order of the chief peach pro-
ducing States was: Maryland, 100000
trees; Delaware. 4,520.O00: New Jersey,
100000; Georgia, 100000. Since that
time the peculiar excellence of the soil
and climate of parts of Georgia for peach
growing has been established, with the
result that Georgia has largely increased
the number of its peach-bearing. trees.
while in the other States there has been
a diminution in the number of trees.

tackles. but he has not been particularly

AT American League Park this after

championship series takes place be-

These two teams were at the bottom
of the ladder last year in the champion
ship series. and as Eastern has a much

tailender last season, has, with one
