MARKET SHOWS
IMPROVEMENT
HENRY CLEWS EXPECTS CONSiD.
ERABLE RISE IN STOCK
VALUES.
(By Henry Clews.)

NEW YORK. July 16-The three
most important influences contributing
to strengthen the stock market this
week were a good crop report, the dis
sipation of political uncertainty and
an easy money market. Added to these
developments were signs of business
Improvement and rising confidence in
various quarters.
Good Crop Reports.
Good news of the right sort was
forthcoming in the form of favorable
crop reports. The July government
estimates indicated 2.726.O00,OOO BUSH
900 bushels more than last year and
has been exceeded but once. and that
by the bumper crop of 1927, 900, 900 In
1906. The wheat crop is estimated at
692,790,000 bushels, or 100000 in eX-
cess of last year, and closely approaches
the largest crop on record. The prom
Use for oats is .012,000.000, a bumper
yield and comparing with $4,000, 900
bushels a year ago. In addition to a
full grain harvest the cotton crop
promises co be abundant, prevalent es-
and we have already secured a good
crop of hay. The fruit crops, too,
are better than usual. There is, of
course, the probability of these esti-
mates being reduced by unfavorable
weather. July and August are often
months of deterioration, and in Sep
TENDER there is always danger of early
froStS on both cotton and corn in the
northerly sections of the producing
states. But these two leading crops
are not so backward as a year ago;
and. with larger acreage and better
condition than existed at this time in
1907, there is ample ground for hope
fulness regarding the crop situation
Since prices for nearly all agricultural
products are high, especially corn, our
farmers are assured of another pros
porous year. Cotton and wheat are
cheaper than year ago, but curren,
prices still afford liberal profit to the
grower. Nothing more fortunate
could happen at this time than a good
harvest for nothing could contribute
more effeceually toward a general re-
vivar of business than large and profit
able crops. The wheat crop will slim
ulate railroad traffic, and the probable
ity Of good export demand will
strengthen our credit abroad. Corr
is a product that will be turned largely
into pork and beef: also giving big
tonnage 60 the railroads, and tending
ere long to lower the present high and
burdensome prices for meat products
Surely the country is justified in TAX
ing on a spirit of hopefulness as long
as nature continues as a special part
ner.
Signs Of improvement.
Outside of the agricultural situation
there are also visible signs of i'm
provement Mr.. Gary's optimistic in
terview regarding the steel trade had
a good effect: for while it was evident
ly made as hopeful as possible, i,
really had a basis Of facts, inasmuch
as the reduction in prices stimulated

Deafness Cannot be Cured


BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inf1amed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh. which is
nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (causey by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

orders. and placed the steel situation
on a sounder basis. Perhaps now or
ders have come in less rapidly than
expected; because the railroads persist
in keeping out of the market on ac-
count of crippled financial conditions,
and waiting for the steel marked TO
touch bottom The next largest con-
sumner Of iron is the building industry.
And here too there are hopeful ana
satisfactory signs of revival. For
months past the reports Of building in
all parCS of the country have shown
declines in aggregate of contracts vary
ing from 80 to As per cent. In June,
however, the reports from Y cities
showed a reduction compared with
last year of only s per cent The i'm
provement was largely due to the re-
sumption of work in this city, where
the depression in building has been
keenest. In the entire country there
has been a reduction Of fully 80 per
cent in building expenditures during
the past six months, so that the June
returns were decidedly encouraging.
Still another sign of Improvement was
the decrease of $4,000 in the number
of unemployed cars during the month
of June. Railroad officials are now
beginning to emerge from their slough
of despond, and to anticipate improved
traffic returns during the coming
weeks as a result of the harvest and
trade betterments. Another satisfac
tory indication was in bank clearings
which in June showed a loss of only %
per cent compared with losses of rs
or 80 per cent and over in earlier
months.
Facts such as these are of infinitely
greater value as a basis of judgmen,
than all the chatter and mental heal
| ing" treatment of our we'll meaning
prosperity boomers, who evidently
wanted others to take risks which they
themselves were unwilling or unable to
| assume.
| In view of all these favorable deve1-
crments it is not surprising that tne
market took on a wider and stronger
activity. At the moment the indica-
tions are that the present rise may BIZ

the possibility of realizing which nat

the conditions are certainly favorabl,

WLo! 1t is Nigh Thee"

The surprise of life always comes
in finding how we have missed the
things that have been nearest to US;
how we have gone far away to seek
that which was close by our side all
the time, says Phillips Books. Men
who live best and longest are apt to
come, as the result of all their liv-
ing, to the conviction that life is not
only richer but simpler than it
seemed to them at first. Men go to
vast labor seeking after peace and
happiness. 1t seems to them as II it
we're far away from them, as if they
must go through vast and strange
regions to get it. They must pile
up wealth, they must see every pos
sible danger of mishap guarded
against, before they can have peace.
Upon how many old men has it come
with a strange surprise that peace
can come to rich or poor only with
contentment, and that they might as
we'll have been content at the very
beginning as at the very end of life!
They have made a long journey for
their treasure, and when at last they
stoop to pick it up, 10! it is shining
close beside the footprints which
they left when they set out to travel
in a circle,

Supremacy Of Christ.

Men who deny the spiritual su-
premacy Of Jesus Christ and reject
His claim to their personal allie
glance, however much they may adj
mire His character and laud His
teachings, are not, in any proper
sense Of the word, Christians. Nor.
alists, philosophers, even doctors OF
divinity, they may be, but they have
no right to wear the Name which Is
above every name, because they do
not bow the knee to Christ or con-
TESS Him as Lord, to the glory OF
God the Father. To call n a
Christian who denies the Lordship
of Christ is a contradiction of terms.

ton, however, it is made Of golden
brown broadcloth, with collar and
cuffs of velvet.
The coat is made with fronts, side
fronts, backs and side-backs, the
many seams meaning becoming lines
as we'll as easy fit. The pockets are
arranged over the slde-fronts and all
the edges are finished with machine
stitching. The collar is oddly shaped
and can be made either of contrast
ing material or to match the coat, as
liked. Rolled owe cuffs finish the
long sleeves, stitched bands those of
the three-Quarter length.
The quantity of material required
for a girl of sixteen years is four
yards twenty-seven, two and five
eighth yards forty-four, or two yards
fifty-two inches wide, with three

fancy is evident. This one is abso-
lutely simple yet draped in a most
effective and graceful manner, and is
adapted 70 all the soft and clinging
materials that are characteristic OF
present styles. In the illustration a
dotted foulard is trimmed with band
ing and the cost is an extremely
trifing one, but the skirt would be
pretty made from such wool materials
as voile or marquisette, from crepe de
Chine, messaline, Liberty satin or any
material of the sort, and also of such
simpler things as cashmere and alba
tross for home wear.
The skirt is circular, the right side
being extended we'll ove onto the
left and shaped to form the drapery.
There are darts that mean snug ut
over the hips and the draped portion
is laid in pleats that provide long and
graceful lines. The fulness at the
back can be laid in inverted pleats
or the skirt can be cut off and finished
in habit style. 1t can be made either
in the pretty round length or cut to
escape the floor, when it becomes
adapted to the street.
