New York. September 6.-Bradstreet s tomorrow will say:
 The more cheerful tone of matters tinan- clal is reflected in the reports of expand ing trade at large jobbing centers on fall account. Conservatism in buying Is, however, still enforced by money market conditions
 Relatively the best reports come from leading northwestern anS southwestern centers. which apparently find crops turning out better than anticipated.
 In some leading industries conditions are irregular. Cotton goods manufactur- ing is active and mills are all sold up. Leather is in hand to mouth demand, with present stocks largely made from hides worth cents more than current offerings. Money market conditions limit new buying of wool and men,S wear; woolen demand for next springFas re- ported not up to expectations.
 While pig iron is extremely quiet and prices are weaker, in southern grades par ticularly, there is evidence that some buyers are testing the market at the lower prices, but thus far only small amount of business has developed.
 Steel rails show slightly more activity and it is stated that additional reserva- tlons of mill capacity for 1908 have been made by leading roads

Fowls Of all kinds. especially spring
chickens. are NOSE plentiful, and the
figures are low enough to allow every
body to eat broiled chicken. Eggs are
little scarcer, but the prices have
not advanced any. The warm weather
of the past few days has brought many
vegetables in the nearby gardens to
perfection, and az a consequence the
figures for these goods on Cary Street
are weakening some but the changes
so far are only fractional. except in
the matter of potatoes.
