COMMERCIAL REVIEW,

R. G. Dun & Company's weekly Re-
view of Trade" says;
"Trade reports are less uniformly Ia
vorable, but adverse factors are OF a
temporary nature, and Sthe net result;
for the week is satisfactory.
Numerous strikes have occurred, ex'
ertinQ the customary pefnicious influence
over business and the epidemic OF yell
low fever is restricting Southern trade.
On the other hand, thermal conditions
have facilitated retail trade, crop pros
poets have greatly improved, and out-of-
town buyers are numerous IN all the
leading markets. =,
Iron furnaces and stee mills make
progress, but less rapidly. Lumber mills
and dealers are having all exceptionally
busy season. Railway earnings in July
were "a per cent. greater than in the
same month last year.
Little change has occurred in the r.
nancial situation, rates ruling easy, while
prices of securities have fiseh close to
the highest point on record.
Recovery In the iron and steel indus
try comes more slowly than was antlci'
pated, yet there are numerous indica-
tons of better tone.
Raw materials of the footwear indus
try continue strong, hides commanding
the highest position since the Civil Wal
and showing no indication Of reaction.
Failures this week numbered 222 in
the United States, compared with 222
year ago, and 10 in Canada, against 80
last year."

Cat Takes Hens Nest.

Finding her nest invaded, bantam
hen. owned by George Old's children
raised the echoes and the sleepers in
that vicinity this morning.
An investigation revealed the fact
that a cat with litter Of kittens had
taken possession Of the nest and re-
tanned 1t despite the racket raised by
the chickens. The hens patience fin
allv became exhausted, and in she
marched and took reserved seat on
the cats back. She laid her egg and
then left the feline family in posses
sion of the den.
While the hen was trying to GUST the
cat the din was terrific.-St. Augustine

Importance In Dotting a."

Because John C.. Setter, postmaster
at Fern, CAL, neglected to dot the "r'
in his name, the postofice department
at Washington declined to honor his
requisition for Office supplies until the
omission was rectifed. The blank
was returned to Setter, who dotted
the 81" and then returned the paper
to Washington. The supplies came
in time, considerably delayed by the
departments insistence. The patrons
of the Fern postoffice were unable to
purchase stamps for two weeks be-
cause the postmaster neglected to dot
the little letter a." Setter has been
postmaster for ten years and this was
the first time he ever had a blank re-
turned to him for correction.-San

Gathering Of Neqetarians.

The London vegetarian association
held their annual dinner the other

of yegetarianism were present. There
were Wallaceites, who will not eat
salt or bread made with yeast; Haig-
ties. who are forbidden peas and
beans, and Allinsonites, to whom tea
is poison. The chef was set difficult
task. but he acquitted himself with
distinction, and only the extremists
grumbled.

JUDGING from the editorials and car
toons in the great independent dailies
and the illustrated weeklies of national
circulation, there is widespread be-
lief that the United States senate Is
completely under the domination OF
the great trusts that control all OF the
leading products and industries of the
country. The failure Of efforts to reg
ulate railroad rates is attributed to
this fact, and the situation is the same
with all other legislation relating to the
trusts The president may recommend
as he will and the house Of represen-
tatives may pass any kind Of a meas
ure it likes; but unless the interests
represented by the senate are agree
able, nothing can be done. The situa-
tion is growing exasperating in the ex-
treme, and what will be the outcome
remains for suture developments. 1t Is
quite certain, however that the peo-
pie will not put up with this state of
affairs forever.
