ACTIVITY SHOWS
IN FALL TRADING
ANNUAL AUTUMN RUSH OF
HOUSE BUYERS is ON.
BRADsrREET REPORT TO-DAY.
Only Complaint is Lack of Labor :
Strikes are Numerous, but Eff
fects Localized - Industry
Never More Active.

New York, Aug. 11.-Bradstreet's
today says:
Fall trade has opened actively, the
first rush of house buyers being not
ed at all large centers east and west.
Free and confident buying Of dry
goods, boots, shoes, clothing and kim
bred articles is reported from all west
ern and southwestern points, and first
and second hands in the east report
business of full volume for the sea-
son. Other developments have been
mainly favorable. Heavy rains have
affected some lines of retail trade in
the west, delayed spring wheat cut
ting at some points, and injured the
quality rather than the quantity of
winter wheat, but on the other hand,
needed moisture has been received by
corn, and enough has been secured to
assure maturity at most points. Only
the best reports come from the south
ern cotton crops, and cotton has been
improved by the cessation of heavy
rains in the south Atlantic states.
Industry is active as seldom if ever
before, and the only subject of COM
plant herein is the scarcity of labor
available. This complaint, however,
Is practically country wide, despite
the enormous past and present immi-
grafton. Strikes are more numerous,
but effects are localized.
Iron and steel are in unprecedented
demand for a midsummer period;
building and building materials, though
less active at New York, show few
signs of let up at the west, where
records of previous years have been
broken. Railway earnings continue
very heavy, a gain of II per cent be-
ing indicated for July over a year ago,
and bank clearings, while slightly be-
low last week, are much in excess Of
last year"
Crop Reports Good.
r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review Of
trade today says:
'Tn some sections the intense heat
facilitates retail trade in summer
goods and improved the attendance at
seaside resorts, but the most import
ant development in the business world
was the increased activity of 'jobbing
and wholesale departments in prepar.
ing for autumn and winter require
ments. Crop reports are all that
could be desired, harvest and thresh-
ing returns surprising all but Inc
most sanguine expectations, these few
unsatisfactory statements being far
unbalanced by the numerous encour-
aging results. Mercantile collections
might be more prompt at some east
ern points but the average is well
maintained by discounted bills at the
west and south. Manufacturing news
is still of good progress, the iron and
steel industry maintaining phenome-
nal results despite some labor trou-
bles. Failures this week numbered
174 in the United States against 222
last year, and 13 in Canada compared
with 10 year ago."

IN THE LOBBY

Mr.. c. c. Young, an insurance mar
OF Memphis, Tenn, who formerly re-
sided in Paducah, passed through the
city yesterday en- route to Ballard
county to visit. 1t was his first trip
here in 80 years, and to say that he
was surprised at the growth Of the
city would be mild. 81 can not express
my surprise at Paducah," he declared,
as he stood at Fourth street and
Broadway, to wait sor car. when |
left here there were no street cars,
and Broadway extended but a few
squares, and now have to ask north
and south in order to get my bearings
and then ! do not know where to go.
| experienced the feeling OF one go
ing into a strange city" Mr.. Young
was raised at Eddyyllle but spent a
great deal of time in Padueah prior
to his residence in Memphis.
