A Skating One.

Yvette Guilbert. the famous French
actress, is an excellent skater. In the
Bois de Boulogne. in Paris, there is an
ice rink where Nine. GuilbCrt's skating
Is one of the principal attractions.
Talking about skating in New York
one day, Nine. Guilbert said:

one ever suffered more than l in learn

NEW YORK.

Whether attributable to the improve
ment in the general financial situation or
because of favorable weather allowing Of
additional crop development, there is a
perceptbly better feeling in general in
commercial lines. Retail trade has hard
ly been as brisk as desired or expected,
because the warm weather while helping
crops, has not stimulated fall buying to
any great extent. Reports as to jobbing
trade so far this fall are, in the main,
favorable, though the undertone of con-
servatism is still perceptible.

While there is a more conservative
tone permeating business circles, fall ac-
tivity in the leading industries Is more
defined and of encouraging magnitude
Production reflects no appreciable falling
off, but operations would be conducted
with greater ease were the tension less in
money and cost of supplies.
Transportation facilities by both rail
and lake are severely tested by increased
general freight offerings and marketing
of crops, and with this gratifying condi-
tion in evidence it is not clear that COM
merce is undergoing shrinkaga. New de-
mands continue strong for factory mate
rials to complete contracts which run far
ahead, especially in steel, sorgc, car and
machinery construction.
The most active branch at present is
that of staple merchandise, the absorp-
tion of which is remarkably strong and
comparing favorably with a year ago IN
textiles, footwear and food producrs. The
attendance of visiting buyers includes
many from distant points, and their lib
eral orders indicate sustained confidence
for satisfactory sales throughout the ag-
ricultural communities. Local retail dis
Mercantile collections in the West oc-
casion little complaint, and defaults COM
pare favorably with last year in both
EnmberS and liabilities.
Marketings of crops indicate that grow
ers are disposed to secure the current
high returns. The general demand for
breadstuffs is well sustained and the ship
mentS run heavier than a year ago. Live
stock and provisions are in ample supply
and the absorption is good for both do
mcstic and foreign needs.
Bank cIearings, $243,913,G01, exceed
those of the corresponding week in 1906
