BROOKLYN, n. Y, July 27-It all hap

south, ana those who witnessed it had the
laugh of their lives. Seated in one of the
cross seat. and close to the window was
a young man dressed in the latest FASH

the collar he wore was of the three-inch
variety. He-w deeply interested in

NO COMPLAINT HEARD
or DULLNESS IN MARKET
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 26.-R. G. Duns review OF
trade will say that there is none of the GUS
tomary complaint of dullness in commercial or
industrial channels.
On the contrary, reports from many cities
announce that all the backwardness of the
early season in lightweight fabrics has been
made up and the liberal distribution of mer-
chandise is accompanied by steady improve
ment in mercantile collections.
In the leading industries there is little idle
machinery, steel and cotton mills reporting
orders further into the future than other
branches, and the only menace to more new
records of pig ircn production is the Interrupt
tion to ore movement by the strike that has
reduced shipments about 100000 tons in three
weeks.

CHICAGO, July 26.-The market for Sep
tember wheat was down hc at the close to-
day. Corn was %@hc off, and oats were kc
lower. Provisions were 597Kc lower.
The wheat market opened weaker, selling
based upon the generally favorable weather
prevailing. The fact that the Liverpool mar
ket was weak despite the cent advance here
yesterday also tended to discourage selling
here. The demand was meager and came
largely from cash interests The market in
creased In weakness trading is good and
closed at almost the lowest point of the day.
September whent opened A@ssc lower at 92%@
92%c, sold off to 93lsc and closed at 91%c
A material decline in the price OF corn oc-
CURED today because of selling induced by
lower temperatures throughout the corn belt.
The break in wheat also tended to weaken the
market. The close was weak and near the low
point. September corn opened a shade higher
to nc lower at 5Sssa5S9sc, sold of to 53Ac and
closed at $3.50.
There was very little trading in oats and
the market was easier and weak owing to the
wheat and corn market weakness. September
opened unchanged to &c lower at SSBQ39c.

Provisions opened firm but weakened. At
