THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Reports From "Dun's" and "Brad-
streets" on tho State Of Trade.

Bradstreet's says:
Fall jobbing trade In dry goods and wear
ing apparel generally tends toward expan-
sion as the ultimate outcome OF leading
crops becomes more assured and as evil
dences increase OF higher prices offsetting
smaller yields. From the northwest re-
ports are of orders previously held back
now coming forward. and there Is evidence
also of more life in southern trade and OF
improvement in collections in that section
as the cotton crop begins to move to mar
ket in good volume. .
Other favorable developments also are the
Increased shipments Of grain and flour for
export, confirming earlier and current ad-
vices that foreign takings of our cereals are
increasing. Further evidence OF this Is also
found in the weakening of foreign ex-
change and the reports that commercial
bills against grain and cotton are appear
ing in larger volume. On the other hand
there are more irregular features present.
ing themselves in several leading indus
tries. and the crop outlook as whole Is
only fair when compared with recently pre-
ceding years. Weather too cool for corn
this week makes 1t certain that the rather
low condition figures shown In the govern
ment crop reports September will not
be bettered materially. and only late
warm fall can mature other late crops on
the full acreage.
Dun's says:
Retail trade increases at the leading cities
as the vacation season closes. and the open
ing of fall lines is attended with most salts
factory results. AS the staple crops are
secured and marketed there is prompt
Improvement in mercantile collections
throughout the agricultural districts, and
the decline in prices was especially helpful
in stimulating export trade. Free ship
ments of grain and cotton are particularly
desirable this year on account of the re-
lief that will be given to the money mar
ket There Is still much conservatism In
placing contracts for future business. and
decreased speculation Is another factor
that aids in restoring normal financial con-
ditions. Railway earnings in the first week
of September exceeded those of a year ago
by 8 per cent, and complaints OF car short

BULLS AND BEARS.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 14.-While some
stock market observers would not be sur
prised to see the market, particularly Tor
certain stocks. go somewhat lower, those
who have watched transactions closely on
the floor OF the stock exchange recently
say that in their judgment the short in
terest Is greatly overextended and that q
very pronounced rally may easily be
brought about at any time Consequently
they advise against further extensive op-
erations on the short side. and think that
the leading issues. particularly in the rail-
road list, can be safely bought whenever
notably weak. 1t Is Understood that
stock exchange broker who is recognised
as an authority on the matter believes that
the short interest in a single railroad
stock, which has been q speculative IA
vorite for several years, amounts to ZOO
600 shares Other close observers believe
that the short interest in various other
active issues is proportionately as large.

Ansel Oppenheim, vice president Of the
Chicago Great Western Railway Company.
who returned from Europe yesterday, says
that before he left London there did not
seem to be any special apprehension in
ton. He Is inclined to believe that specu-
lators on this side are unduly disturbed. 1t
Ia understood that a representative OF one
Of the large electric manufacturing com
panies has told his friends within the last
few days that he is informed that the Ave
year contract which has been in force be-
tween the large consumers and producers
will soon expire, and he thinks that after
q basis is reached for the new contract de-
cided improvement will be seen in the cop
per metal trade.
He thinks that present conditions in the
copper mining industry will not last very
month Of August a stock exchange house
which makes a speciality of odd-lot transac-
tons bought and distributed to its Gus
toners 20. 30 full shares Of Amalgamated
Copper stock. In some circles IN which the
knowledge Of this fact has been received
1t is argued that these transactions very
largely represent investment purchases py
small interests. In other circles rs
represent speculative operations by inter.
ests by reason Of their other losses last
spring. who are now specializing In odd
lots instead of the usual 100 shares.

Mr. Oppenheim says that when he left
London there was a growing tendency in
financial circles to buy both home and
foreign securities for investment and also
speculatively. Sentiment seemed to be be-
coming more cheerful, but 1t was believed
that a considerable time would be required
to straighten out affairs In Europe and In
this country. He fully concurs In this
cerned and believes that things will not be
on an even keel on the other side much
sooner than they will be here. 1t Is true
that comprehensive financial plan for tne
Great Western Is under consideration, but
it Is improbable that 1t Will be brought
out in the immediate future.

mended that the city should make a public

so offered would form syndicate to guar
antee that at least S2OOOO,OOO of ths bonds
so offered should be bid and paid for at not
less than par and interest; the syndicate to
have the option to take Cat not less than the
lowest price al which any such bonds should
have been sold the whole or any portion
Of the remaining $50, 900 900 bonds so offered
but not sold upon such Offering; such OPP
ton to be exercised by me on the day of the

In pursuance of such arrangement the
controller has advertised for the submission
Of sealed proposals for S4O,OOOOOO of Az
