site is a fifty-vara lot at the southeast

WHEAT AFFECTS
FALL DELIVERY
Public and Private Reports
Concerning Winter Crop
Stimulate Wholesale Trade
PLANTING is RETARDED
Heavy Rains or Continuous

With Retail Dealers

NEW YORK, May 12.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
Wholesale trade for fall delivery has been
stimulated by good public and private reports
as to winter wheat. but heavy rains or continu-
ously cool weather have interfered with retail
trade, except in a few sections, and have un-
questionaby retarded corn and cotton planting.
which appears to be one two weeks late.
Spring wheat seeding however has been fin

abundant moisture. has good start.
The iron trade displays increased inquiry.

trades offer an immense outlet for lumber,
hardware and building materials generally.
but the gain in earnings over April. 1904. is

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade tomorrow will say:
Unsettled weather still retards retail trade,
and uneven distribution OF moisture prevents
crop prospects from attaining an ideal posi-
tion. but the general result is much better
than normal and far more satisfactory than
at this time in 1904. Mercantile payments ara
fairly prompt. money Is easy and abundant.
while confidence In the future is the ruling
sentiment The decline in Wall street to the
lowest average for the sixty most active rail-

A Gift for
I he F anni1y.

Think for a moment how much
fun every member of the family
would get of phonograph during
the long winter evenings There Is
no other thing at the p,ice that will
yield so much pleasure and satisfac-
ton. With the aid of an Edison
Photograph you can have the benefit
of the worlds masterpieces of instru-
mental and vocal music tight in your
own home; full orchestras and bands,
cornet, violin, cello, trombone Xylo-
phone soloists, vocal solos, duets,
Quartettes, etc, minstrels, comic
speeches, ETC.. etc. With the Edison
Phonographs you can shut your eyes
and easily imagine that the PLACER or
singer is light in front of you, for in
these instruments the scratching and
buzzing noises so noticeable in otherS
talking machines are almost COM
pletely eliminated. It comes the
nearest to being perfect of any
machine yet introduced. We have
them from $1,000 up. but especially
recommend the $4,000 and $4,000
instruments. We also handle the
Edison Gold Moulded Records. No
other record even approaches them.
Why not give the whole family an
Edison Phonograph for a Christmas
present this year? At least let us
show them to you.
