SUMMER TRADE FINE.
UNUSUALLY FAVORABLE
CONDITIONS PREVAIL.
Brisk Retail Trade Creates Demand for
seasonable Fabrics That Is Rapidly
Depicting Stocks.

NEW YORK. July 13.-Dun's Review of
Trade says today:
There Is not the customary complaint of
midsummer dullness in general trade
channels. while the demand for seasonable
fabrics is rapidly depicting stocks that
threatened to be carried over. Brisk retail
trade Is accompanied by more prompt col
lections and many cities that were slow to
respond to the better feeling now send sat
isfactory reports.
Jobbers and wholesalers are receiving
liberal orders for fall and winter merchan-
disc, and interior buyers are active In tie
primary markets Crop reports to this pa
per are more encouraging than the late st
official statement, In jicating much Inn
provement since July l, on account Of
favorable weather. Manufacturing returns
tell of large orders on han and very heavy
production during the first half OF the year.
Freight tonnage Is well maintained,

July exceeding last years by l21 per cent
Lower prices for pig iron were due to the
larger output and more prompt deliveries

The strength of the market is due to the

before In the history of the Industry.
A little increase Is noted in the demand
for hides and further Improvement is an
ticipated. 1t is now the season Of desir-
able short-haired domestic hides. upon
which full quotations are demanded. The
chief Drawback is the larger supply of
winter hides still held by packers and

foreign markets are also oVerstocked.
Erratic variations in prices have &C.

CHINESE AS SOLDIERS.
Experience of an English officer who

Ont of the greatest assets possessed by
Chinese as soldiers is in their marching
power: another Is their ability to man.
age with the smallest amount of trans
port. owing to the hardy outdoor life and
climate to which they are accustomed,
and to the fact that they live almost en-
tirely on rice. Two other points in their
favor are that they have no caste preju-
dices, aud have already learned the Virtue
of disciplines before they enlist. Drunk
enness is practically unknown among
them, but they have the national failings

United Service Magazine, lends me to

children and perhaps the most chiIdlike

have to be studied in dealing with chill

to understanding their nature. Most
amenable to kindness, he is at times quite
capable of taking advantage OF it.

BRISK DEMAND
O BONDS IN
DULL MONTH
Transferred to
Local Securities s. Effect
of R.R. Borrowing Feared.

July is the month in which trading in
local securities is always light, and
this year because of the unusual scare
ity of money business is very light. But
there was quite IN active demand for
bonds this week because Newarkers
who surrendered their holdings of
United States 4 per cents. that were
due and payable on July 1. invested
the money received for those bonds in
local securities.
The recent issue of Newark school
bonds were bought at 1921 and 1903, ac-
cording to the number of bonds taken
by an investor. East Orange municipal
bonds were sold 1917 and Essex County
bonds at 1902. If money were easier the
school bonds would have a market
value of ITO t. ia. for Newark city
bonds were sold at that figure less than
two years ago, and the county bonds
would sell as high. The bonds of the
constituent companies of the Public
Service Corporation would also rate at
higher figures in the market, for these
companies are now on a paying basis.
For instance, the United Electric bonds
instead of being quoted at 6Sls should
have a market value now of So.
But with the big railroad companies
issuing millions upon millions of dol
lars worth Of bonds, and also an enor-
nous amount of notes at the same in
terest rates, there Is little chance for 4
per cent. bonds.
Financial men of years of experience
said today that If the great railroad
companies continue borrowing hun
dreds of millions at high rates of inter-
est, financial trouble will come, for
when the time for settlement arrives
some of the heaviest borrowers may
not be able to meet their obligations.
Local brokers sold Newark Passenger
bonds this week at 107, and Consolida-
ted Traction bonds at 1903, while the
stock of the latter sold at 70. North
Jersey bonds were weak at 691s and
white Line" bonds at 81 and 68. Pub
lie Service notes brought 81, the certif-
Gates were quoted at 65-67, and the
stock was offered at So. with no sales.
United Electric bonds were weak at
8S1s to SO. Newark Gas bonds sold at
1051k and Hudson County Gas bonds at
1924. Fidelity Trust stock was quoted
at It's bid. There was no change in
bank stocks.
