Bradstreet's says:
Better weather and definite assurances
Of large crop yields stimulate fall ana
winter buying, which is apparently at
OF close to its zenith. Most leading
markets report buyers present IN IN
precedented numbers, and the volume
of august sales exceeds all records Tor
that month, except at few points
where weather conditions have been
unpropitious. Sales of dry goods, cloth
ing, shoes, leather, hardware and other
iron and steel products and lumber are
very large The fall shipping season
Is also apparently at its height, shipping
forces are working overtime, ana the
railroads are working to their fun ca -
pacity with a car famine predicted for
the not far distant future. A small
movement of winter wheat has partly
relieved the strain on the railroads
and made for a little more steadiness
IN price of that cereal. which. however,
has sagged slightly as the feeling grows
that spring, like winter wheat, Will
prove a large crop. Reports from abroad
are OF better than earlier anticipated
wheat crops, which seem likely to AFFECT
prices still further. but it is to be noted
that export trade in -four has improved
and exports tend to expand. The crop
situation otherwise is very promising.
The promise Of cool weather makes for
increased activity in industry. The iron
and steel markets are a little quleter.

No check to commercial

while the outlook becomes
brighter each week through most en-
couraging crop reports. Jobblng trade
is on a large scale, wholesale business
IS much better than last year, ana az
ter the holiday retail distribution OF fan
merchandise promises to be very heavy.
Manufacturing reports are gratifying
beyond precedent. the textile industries
alone showing any irregularity- AS 20
cotton goods, there is a natural DISPOSE
ton to delay placing orders when Del-
Ter terms seem warranted by the cheap
ened raw material, but producers make
no concessions because Of contracts on
hand. Wooden goods also hesitate
pending a more definite trend in the
distributing markets. These uncertain
ties apply to future business, current
trade being of good volume. Higher
prices for pig iron emphasize the m IN
adequacy Of furnace output, steel mills
being embarrassed by lack of material
Similar conditions prevail in the foot
wear industry, the average CT hlde
prices now eclipsing all previous rec
ords. Lower prices for farm staples
testify to the certainty of ample crops
which ia turn give promise of more lb-
eral exports. Foreign commerce at TINS
port alone for the last week showed
gains of SO 1856 709 in exports and So
548S76 in imports, as compared with last
years figures. Railway traffic returns
continue encouraging for August, thus

Interesting experiments to prove the unre-

A few days later the professor asked his
pupils TO pick out the unknown's mask

table. Four students only out of twenty
four chose the right mask, although it diff
fered in color and size from the others
Ten pupils chose different ones, and eight

You see," said Prof. Ciaparede to his
class, '.how unreliable is the evidence of an
eyewitness to event, even in a law

During further experiments the Swiss

tion of man whom they have looked at
for ten seconds. Women, he believes, are
