they said "People are wearing out
their old footgear and will take no
| thought Of the coming cold weather
until forced to do so by the coming
of real good, hard, cold Storm The
dealers Ladies are apparently making
last year s headwear fill the bill until
real winter sets in. Heavy clothing,
both for ladies' and men s wear, has
not been especially brisk through the
entire week, and people have been
buying mainly to keep supplied with
few necessities until they are COM
PEELED to lay in a complete outfit.
Hardware Men Happy.
The hardware dealers, however, were
wearing "the smile that won't come
off. Z" and could hardly spare few mo-
ments to say that business was rush
ing. There was really little occasion
to make the statement, however, for
the retail stores have been crowded with
purchasers and the clerks of the whole
sale houses were equally busy sending
out goods to the smaller dealers about
the state.
The feature of the week has been
builders and shelf hardware. it is said.
Mechanics tools, pipe and fittings,
plumbers supplies and materials con-
nected with the finishing OF new build
ings have formed an astonishingly large
part Of the total trade. Reports OF
the opening of many of the apartment
houses which have been in course of
construction during the summer months
show the occasion for the extraordinary
demand for goods of this sort and the
number of new buildings still in an un.
finished state, as we'll as the declared
intention of contractors to continue the
construction of additional buildings
throughout the fall, indicates that there
will be no Immediate falling off IN
| the sale of finishing supplies.
An especially pleasant indication of
the resumption of activity in mining is
the sale of bolts, track spikes and T.
rails for use in development work in
that industry. Mining machinery has
resumed normal sale and the call for
large machinery of all kinds shows that
the big industries are on foot and that
activity in all lines of industry has
started in
Harness and saddlery have sold well,
| also with paint and glass close sec
ond as an indication that the farmers
are feeling prosperous. The automobile
trade is reported more active this sea
son. and has suffered little falling off
with the progress of the fall. As the
| cold weather season approaches the
call for goods of the sporting type has
changed from football goods TO those
articles used in indoor athletics. The
and the like tells story of enthusi-
| asiic Young America determined to ex-
ercise indoors and out. The demand for
loaded shells and guns for duck shoot
| ing has not decreased any as yet, and
the hunters are apparently taking ad-
| vantage of the warm sunshine 10 pnr-
sue their favorite diversion until the
last gun is fired,
AS the anniversary of the financial
| furry last year is rcacheds there is a
noticeable increase IN bank clearings
over the corresponding days of 1907.
| This is due. however, TO the falling
off which occurred at that time rather
than 10 any great gain over preceding
months. Bankers report considerable
gains in individual deposits. mainly as
n result of money being placed in the
banks for use in future investments,
On the other hand, there has been a
noticeable decrease in the savings banks
deposits, which is explained on the
ground that people with small! amounts
of money arc buying real estate in
! stead Of placing il in the banks. The
indication that business is good. how
ever. and the fact that general deposits
| throughout the state have increased ma.
terially since last June is commented
upon as q favorable sign of the sound
| financial condition Of the state.
Bankers arc already beginning to feel
the influx of money from the various
indust ries of the state and report larger
quantities on hand 10 loan than at any
| time during the past nine months. In.
terest rates are easier and loans can
be secured for 6 and Z per cent I'M
stead Of and 8 as formerly. Busr.
ness mon report collections excellent
also, and people appear TO have plenty
Of money and absolute confidence in the
solid foundation of prosperity for the
! winter.
