 In some sections the intense heat ia. cilitated retail trade In summer goods and improved the attendance at seaside resorts, but the most important devel- opment in the business world was the increased activity of jobbing and wholesale departments in preparation for autumn and winter requirements. Corp reports are all that could be de- sired, harvest and threshing returns surpassing all but the most sanguine expectatiohs, the few unsattsfactory statements being far outbalaneed by the numerous encouraging results. Mer- cantile collections might be more prompt at some Eastern points but the average is we'll maintained by dis- counted pills at the West and SoutnA Manufacturing news is still in good progress. the iron and steel industIy maintaining phenomenal results despite some labor troubles.

un to nnte Rnce TracIx.

If the plans now being perfected are carried out, Pensacola will have one or the most perfect race tracs and commo- tious stables in the South. A propo- sitfon has been made by Louis Boley, wealthy real estate holder. to the Pen- sacola Driving Association to enclose any space of ground desired about threo miles north of the city. on the line or the city. and build an up-to-date track of any length desired. also stables, grand stands and other necessary build- ings. Inasmuch as the Driving Asso- ciation Is now using the Kupfrian track. which. is badly In need of repair, 1t Is probable that the offer will be ae- lcerted It Is the intention Of MT. Boiey to lease the track during the summer season to the Drivig Association, and In the winter reserve it for trainers of big stables who might wish to come South with their horses. Several have made efforts to bring their stables to Pensacola. but could get no accommo- dations. but If the present plans nate- rialize; every accommodation will be afforded them in future.
