FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
DuN's WEEKLY SUMMARY
Seasonable Weather Makes Summer
Trade Good-Frmcr Tone In
Cotton Goods.

Encouraging reports are received
from leading commercial centers. The
volume Of business Is exceptionally
heavy for the season Stocks are dc.
pletcd by the usual clearance sales
providing more prompt payments and
greater confidence In the future.
Numerous buyers In large cities are
preparing for an active fall trade,
now that the agricultural outlook Is
less uncertain. Clothing manufac-
turers report much new business and
few cancellations.
Dullness In the pig iron market Ia
not unusual at this time OF the year.
but there Is no reduction IN output
and 10 evidence that furnace owners
are seeking business at lower prices.
At some OF the steel mills there Is
also more or less seasunable absence
Of new contracts, but specifications
are large on old orders. Plants that
must stop for repairs do not remain
idle any longer than necessary.
The most definite evidence that
the situation Is perfectly sound is
the absence of pressure to find bust
ness even at concessions in prices.
Thus far the iron and steel market
has avoided this weak tone that Is
so significant. On the contrary, pro-
duccrs are confident that much de-
layed business will appear when the
crops are secured. Still more post
poned work only waits for a normal
money market. A small tonnage OF
structural shapes was placed during
the last week and another lake YES
sci provided considerable trade In
plate.
A 1rmer tone has appeared In the
primary market for cotton goods,
manufacturers securing without diff
hculty the prices asked. Though n
few lines are distinctly quiet, there
Is more evidence OF satisfactory bust
ness than at any time for several
weeks. Although prices are consider
ed high, II is felt that there Is much
to warrant further advances, so that
buyers feel justified In operating
freely. even for remote deliveries.
Advices from iobbers indicate that
advance business for fall has largely
exceeded anticipations. There Is
much anxiety regarding the ability Of
the mills to make shipments accord
ing to specifications.
Little export trade Is accomplish.
ed, but the Chinese market has I'M
proved.

which he wrenched his head from side
to side, kept tight hold OF the ham
mock ends. Once let him clear his
strong jaws from those entangling
folds and my life was not worth
picayune.
His hoofs beat mad tattoo upon
the floor. His gnashing teeth spatter-
ed me with foam-necks as he champed
and tore at the stout hemp. Its wind
ings we're growing looscr; few more
wrenches, and they would be off.
Hope was slipping from me, when
his muscles suddenly relaxed, and his
head dropped forward. The stupor had
come on again; | should never have
better opportunity. Letting go the
ends of the hammock, | pulled out my
penknife, ran my fingers along vein
which ! could feel swelling in his neck,
and prnctured 1t with the tip of the
smallest blade. The hot blood came
streaming out and formed little pool
on the floor of the car.
Was the operation in time to save
the animals life? | rewound the ham
mock about his jaws, and waited. Be-
fore he reused again n considerable
amount of blood had drained off, His
struggles were appreciably weaker ana
had mo difficulty In controlling him.
The fight was won.
Before long we rolled into another
town. When we stopped | was able
to attract the brakeman attention,
and summon a veterinary. We spent
that night in the car, working over
Max, and between us managed to
bring him round, although he was a
good deal weakened by his loss of
blood The next day | delivered him,
safe and sane, to his new owner."-
