Are men more successful shoppers

Here's an example," he said pointing
out in an advertisement of the store
the following cryptic description of a
feminine garment:
made of best quality of muslin,
wide umbrella ruffle, deep hem and
three embroidered tucks, specially
priced at 20 cents"
The buyer continued: I'VE have in
stock a similar garment for men, con.
tanning no more nor no better ma

workmanship. Yet it sells regularly
for IS cents, and is never priced be-

Responding to my question as to the
reason for this unjust disparity in
prices, he said:
There isn't any reason, except that
the manufacturers of mems garments
charge more and make bigger profits,
because the mean are easy marks and
will stand for it. Everything that is
sold exclusively to men commands
higher price than If women were also

We are deficient in both quality and
quantity of our roads. We now have
60, 500 miles of public highways in the

encircle the globe three times, it is
quite inadequate for Texas. II we

this rate it will take us 1000 years to

There was some surprise that the
Submissionists in the San Antonio
convention acquiesced in the election
of an Anti to be chairman of the State
executive committee. 1t has since
transpired that this was the result of
trade. There were enough Subs who
would have voted with the Ants in
favor of the resolution allowing
members of the Legislature to vote on
the submission question according to
the instruction of their constituents,
to make the adoption of the resolution
almost certain, hence they traded the
state chairman for the squelching OF
that resolution. But can the party OF
the second part deliver the goods ac'
cording to contract?

Greenfield Hill
A SERIOUS FIRE.


 Is Greenfield infested with fire bugs? That Is the question now asked by the residents of Hull's Farm district. About three weeks ago q large barn on the premises of Miss Emma Wakeman was destroyed by fire of unknown ori- gin, and now on Monday evening of this week between the hours of 3 and 10 o'clock, another large barn belong ing to the J. Dimond Bradley estate, less than an eighth of mile from the scene of the first conilagration, was also burned in the same mysterious fashion. Henry Hawkins, who lost a two horse earryall in the first fire is again loser to the amount of a hun dred dollars, having had nsaaff,ly,; five tons of prime hay stored in the barn. A quantity of straw and about 60 bush. els of rye belonging to H. k. Elwood was also consumed. Fortunately there was no live stock in the burning build ing. This is the fourth fire that has taken place in Greenfield within a pe- riod of five months. One of these, a barn belonging to Wallace M. Bulkley, also near the Hull's Farms district was burned in broad daylight about 10 o'clock in the forenoon, an hour which would naturally excite suspicion. Hull's Farms people are now wonder ing where the fire 'fend will start in next and they are thinking about doing little secret service work. We'll they may because if nothing is done to thwart the plans of this miscreant his evil and degenerate mind must remain a constant menace to the community. I One very fortunate feature connected with Mondays fire is that there was no wind to fan the flames otherwise the l handsome Bradley residence close by would have most certainly been laid in ruins.

Dun & Co.'s Review.

New York, October 9.-R. G. Dun S Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Substantial progress toward industrial recovery was made during the past week. very large number of wage earners re- suming work in mills and factories that had been wholly or partially idle for many months. Yet resumption is by no means uniform many undertakings being defer red until afte: the election, and low water IS still the cause of short time at numer- out plants. Retail trade at many points has decreased with the high temperature and the religious holiday, although some sections not a satisfactory distribution of fall and winter wearing apparel, and shipments are a little more prompt.
 Contracts for finished steel are restricted to current needs, but a large tonnage is under negotiation. New projects are de- ferred until after election, when much business will be placed. Confidence is shown by the steadiness of prices and the general increase in pig iron produc- tion.
 Evidences accumulate that stocks of dry goods are low, almost beyond prece- dent, and the urgency for quick ship ments tends to generate confidence among ] buyers who show a disposition to antici-
 pate requirements in the primary mar
 ket for cotton goods Export trade is
 still quiet, small sales of light weight sheetings being made Miscellaneous orders from South America include t fair quantity of yarn. Mems wear for immediate delivery is the best feature of Woolens, but scarcely any new lines are fully sold.
 1 Better conditions are reported at New l England footwear factories, contracts ap ] bearing of substantial proportions for I shipment during the first quarter of 1909. l New business is chiefly for medium l priced goods.
 1 Stocks of sole leather have accumu- 1 lated, even heavy descriptions are more l plentiful, buyers are not taking any 1 larger quantities than are needed for im-
 mediate requiremnts. The better demand l for the finished product has not yet ex-
 tended to leather, while hides are gen. 1 orally weaker.

TRADE REPORTS
 ARE IRREGULAR General Undertone Is Toward
 Improvement BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD Iron and Steel Are Quiet, But Produc- ton Is Increasing, the Output for September Being the Heavi-
 est Since November.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD

New York, October e.-Bradstreets' to- morrow will say:
 Although trade reports are somewhat ir- regular In character, owing to largely varying weather conditions in different sections of the country, and uncertainties caused by impending elections. the gen. eral undertone is toward sustained im- provement. Country trade has been com- paratlvely quiet. because the farmers have been taking advantage of the ideal weather to complete their harvesting. However, the heavy marketing of crops has made for an increased railway ton mage and improved collections consider ably, while exports of wheat are heavy. Iron and steel are quiet, impending elec- tions being a deterrent influence, but production is increasing in anticipation of forthcoming good business and there is more doing in other industrial lines. There is less industrial idleness and in some in stances business is developing for the first quarter of 1909, especially in shoes, lumber and pig iron.
 The pig iron production for September exceeded that of August by Az per cent,
 
 since November last. while it represents an increase of 35 per cent over January, 190S However, the decrease from Sep tember, 1907, reaches 35 per cent. Basic pig is fairly active in the east, and ap- parently prices are easier Consumers stocks are said to be low and this fact tends to stiffen the views of producers, who appear indisposed to contract beyond the first quarter of next year.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending October 8, number 256. against 225 last week, and 192 in the like week of 1907. Business failures for the week in Canada number 31 as against 35 last week, and 24 in this week in 1907.
 Wheat, including flour shipments, from the United States and Canada for the week ending October 8. aggregate 5,652,- 652 bushels, against 6,4S7,225 last week and 5,295, ,292 this week last year. For the 15 weeks ending October this year, exports are 57,674.7s9 bushels, against 53,- 745,Sl4 in the corresponding period last wear

TIGERS IN LAST PRACTICE

Detroit. Mich, October 9.-Before day light there were camped before the ticket windows at Bennett park. where tomor- row the Detroit American league and ehl- eago National league baseball teams will open their second struggle for the world championship. several hundred enthus- lasts determined to be in advantageous position for the opening of the reserve seat sale at 10 o'clock. It was just after midnight when a policeman discovered the first applicant.
 While the sale of seats was occupying every person connected with the business department of the club. Manager Jennings and the players were engaged In their final practice for the great game tomor- row The players reported at the park shortly after breakfast and were kept at work at top speed until noon. Under the rules governing the worlds series Short stop Bush is not eligible to play with the local team in the series, and this will force O'Leary into the game, despite the fact that he has a badly bruised thumb.
 It was Manager Jennings intention to have Pitcher Killian. Detroit's strongest left-hander, face the Chicago team in the opening game. Contractors had double forces of men at work at the park today putting up the extra seats and bracing the stands where necessary.
 The Chicago baseball team arrived over the Michigan Central railroad at 1:40 o'clock, all of them in readiness for to- morrows game. Manager Chance an- nounced that either Reulbach or Overall will pitch the game tomorrow. Chance is unable to talk above a whisper today as a result of being struck by bottle yesterday afternoon in the game with New York. The bottle hit the Chicago manager in the throat
