COOL WEATHER HELPS TRADE
BUSINESS, HOWEVER, NOT UP
TO EXPECTATIONS.
Probably Affected Somewhat by the
Campaign-Industrial Condi-
lions Satisfactory.

New York, Oct. 29.-Bradstreet's says:
Cooler weather has helped retail trade
at the west and south This is reflected
in some recorder business from jobbers
and wholesalers, whose trade, while
steady, and better than last year at this
!, date is not entirely up to expectations.
This is possibly due in measure to che
close proximity of election, which is
credited in a few reports with holding
back some business. The industries give
quite satisfactory reports, iron in its
cruder forms leading, with active de-
mand at advancing prices. Seasonable !
conditions help the coal industry, but
lack of water in the coke regions and
the same trouble in eastern streams
tends to restrict some manufacturing
operations. Collections as a whole are
classed as good, being relatively best
at the south. Railway earnings for the
first half of October will run over 6 per
cent. ahead of those of 1908. There still
appear unmistakable signs that caution
and conservatism have not lost their
value as yet, and that these qualities
still weight the tendency toward opti-
mism noted in recently preceding
weeks"
R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review Of
Trade says: mild weather early in
the week checked the distribution of sea-
sonable goods, but had permanent
value in facilitating the harvesting Of
cotton and late grain. Subsequently
the temperature fell, restoring retail
trade in wearing apparel. fuel and sim
liar products to greater activity than
was experienced year ago. Building
operations are active, strengthening the
markets for lumber and materials. Man.
ufacturing plants are making steady
gains, particularly in the leading indus
tries, and it is significant that reluctance
to do business has shifted from buyers
to sellers, eliminating largely the con-
cessions in prices that prevented stabil-
ity. Labor is unusually well employed,
Judging by the official compilation of
the unions. In the iron and steel indus
try new cars and ships are requiring
, very large tonnage of plates, and prac-
tically every department except steel
rails has aroused from the dull and de-
pressed condition SO long prevalent.
Failures this week numbered 233 in
the United States, against 253 last year,
and % in Canada, compared with 15 a
year ago."

Foreign Minister Lansdowne and Am

In view of Mr. Balfour's scathing de-
