WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Percentage Of idle Machinery Is Di-
mInIshIng..

New York, Aug. 7.-Dun's weekly
review of trade says:
Business continues to expand in a
wholesome manner that promises well
for the future Reports from the
leading branches of manufacturers
are unanimous in telling of an in
creasing volume of orders and the
percentage of idle machinery steadily
diminishes. Better prospects for the
crops removes the only handicap that
impeded the revival of trade, and ia
vorable weather for a few weeks will
assure unprecedented production in
the aggregate, although the yield OF
cotton will fall considerably behind
last years. The month of July made
most encouraging exhibit in so Tar
as statistics are available, liabilities OF
failures being smaller than in any
month since April, 1901, and railway
earnings surprising last years by 81
per cent. Foreign trade at this port
for the last week shows gains Of
$1,776, 1S4 in exports and S1,60S, 564 in
imports as compared with the same
period of 1904.
Recent advances in hides are fully
maintined, and in some varieties
strength has reappeared and import
ers are actively bringing supplies
from Europe. 1t is estimated that
this foreign business has already
aggregated over 100000 hides. fail
ures this week in the United States
are 232 against PA last week and 1913
the preceding week and 23O the cor
responding week last year. and in
Canda &c against 81 last week, % the

Every houseKeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in q pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
a 1907. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures "16 ozs." Demand De-
f1ance and save much time and money
and the annoyance of the iron stick
ing. Defiance never sticks.

DE. Peck obeyed the LAW.

The late Rev. Dr. j. o. Peck. SO well
known In the Methodist church, was
Pa admirer of consistency. When pre-
pairing for college he attended a CO.
educational school, the old Newbury
seminary in Vermont, where very
strict rules were laid down to regulate
the association Of the sexes.
One morning as he reached the en-
trance to the campus a young lady also
arrived from the opposite direction,
and at the same moment a drenching
shower began. Young Peck had an
umbrella, but the lady had none, so he
CALAMITY held his over her head until
