BUSINESS BULLETIN.
The Volume of Domestic Trade Ex-
ceeds All Previous Records.

New York.-R G. Dun G. Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Unseasonably high temperature in
some sections of the country retarded
distribution of fall goods but, with the
assistance of special sales, reduced
stocks of summer merchandise to a
satisfactory position. High rates for
money have delayed mercantile collec
tions somewhat, and there is still
complaint regarding the scarcity of
labor, but confidence in the future re-
mains mistaken. Preparations for
winter and spring keep machin
cry well employed, large crops
are being secured, and building oper
atoms are very heavy.
{ The volume of domestic trade is be-
yond ell records, and foreign com
merce exhibits some striking compari
sons. Total mercrandise exports in
August were valued at about $4,000,
900 more than the same month in
any previous year, and imports rose
s10.000000 above the preceding record
for August.

From Clyde Fitch's Scrapbook.

Clyde Fitch, at dinner that he
gave in honor of a noted dramatic
critic, read from his library of scrap
books a western criticism on Hamlet.
The criticism, which was dated 1873,
ran:
There is too much chinnng in this
piece. The author is behind the times,
and seems to forget that what we
want nowadays is hair raising situa-
tons and detectives.
"In the hands of a skillful play
wright detective would have been
put upon the track of Hamlet's uncle,
and the old man would have been
hunted down in manner that would
have lifted the audience out of their
cowhides.
"The moral of the piece is not good.
The scene where Hamlet sasses his
mother is a bad example to the rising
generation.
"Our advice to the author is more
action, more love-making, and plenty
of specialties. The crazy girl scene
should be cut out altogether and rat
tling good song and dance substitute
ed"

Wheat in Western Canad
A Good Crop OF Excellent Quality Has Be-
Raised This Year.

The grain crops estimates from the
Canadian West make a ranen of from
SIOOO,0OO to 115,OO0,OO0 S, and
an accurate statement will be some
where between these figures-prob-
ably not far from 10000, 900 bushels
This year larger acreage was sown,
estimated at an increase of from 18
to 20 per cent, and had the average
yield of last year been maintained,
the aggregate would assuredly have
gone considerably beyond the 100 ,00O,-
900 bushel mark. The exceptionally
large influx of settlers was responsible
to considerable extent for much of
the increased area, and, there can be
no doubt, is also responsible for
part of the decreased average yield.
The first crop raised by the new set
tler-often unacquainted with the
conditions of western agriculture-is
not usually prolific, and 1905-06 placed
very large number of amateur farm
ers behind the stills of the plow; but
they will learn, and learn fast, and
with another season or two will help
to raise the average instead of de-
pressing it.
OF the estimates to hand, that of
the Northwest Grain Dealers asso-
citation is the lowest: Wheat, 87,203,-
