WARM WEATHER
 HAMPERS TRADE
EIection'S Approach Also Af-
 fects Business
RAILWAY TONNAGE BETTER
Current Gross Earnings Also Show Smaller Decreases Than For Any Time In the Past
 Ten Months.

New York, October 17.-Bradstreets to-
 day says:
 Continued warm, unreasonable weather
 and the approach of the national election
 tend to hamper distribution of season.
 able merchandise, the purchase of any but
 immediate necessities and the projection
 of new enterprises. On balance industry
 is slightly more active, some branches
 of the iron trade having increased forces,
 while building is more brisk, but at the
 same time drought or low water in va
 rious navigable streams tend to affect
 such lines as coke, water navigation and
 paper mills. Railway tonnage is heavier
 and current gross earnings show smaller decreases than for any time in the past 10 months.
 Summed up, caution still prevails, but confidence is very strong, and therefore natural conditions, together with light stocks, should produce marked degree of expansion after the turn of the new year.
 Until after then repression seems to be
 the policy. the hand-to-mouth buying movement is deemed to be the part of wisdom and new enterprises are being held in abeyance either by the credit l giving institutions or by their projectors Business failures in the United States | for the week ending October 15 number l PA, against 256 last yeek, 194 in the like

Charcoal Kills
 Bad Breath
Whether From Decay In the Stomacn or Teeth, and Will Stop
 Stomach Gases.
Willow Charcoal Best For use,

Charcoal has been used for absorbing foul odors and neutralizing noxious gases for centuries.
 DuPont, the powder manufacturer, learned that willow shoots two to three years of age made the best charcoal. It is most porous.
 Fetid breath, whether from stomach or teeth, pyrosis Cor gastric pain), diar- rhoea and constipation simply cannot ex- list under the action of charcoal
 Charcoal oxidizes all gases, or in other words. changes foul smelling odors into oxygen. thereby doing away with all foul ness and rendering even such gases bene- ficial to the system by giving 1t more oxygen. The lungs purify the blood with oxygen from the air. Dying patients have oxygen administered to their sys- tenn artificially and live for days under this treatment
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made from willow shoots and sweet honey. Thus they are palatable, strong and natural No medicine is used whatever but the peculiar Stuart process gives them . decided charm and efficiency which endears them to all consumers.
 One may use them as one likes. Eat. ing one every once in while insures pure breath while the common method is tc eat two or three after meals and at beC time. They work very fast and their us, is a most excellent habit to form.

R. G. Dun & Co.

New York, October 17.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade today says:
 Moderate improvement is indicated in
 reports of current trade from most sec
 tions of the country with pronounced con-
 fidence regarding the future.
 Although many large undertakings are
 held back in the iron and steel industry pending the result of the election, num-
 erous small contracts are being placed, and specifications on old orders involve a considerable tonnage. Progress is slow, but on the whole there is a distinct im- provement each week. Export business continues liberal Ore movement on the lakes is about over for the season and shipments will probably amount to little
 more than 22500,0O0 tons. Prices of pig iron are somewhat lower on contracts for
 this years delivery, but neither pro-
 ducers nor consumers are eager to operate for shipment in 1909. There is a similar
 reluctance about forward contracts for cokemakers asking better prices than are offered. There is a fairly good demand for structural shapes, while plates are wanted by carbuilders Only a few orders for steel rails have been placed this week.
 Improvement is pronounced in the pri- mary market for cotton goods buyers are exhibiting more interest, and 1t Is gem crafty Del1eVeQ that pTlCcS CaHnOt Ue eA- pected to go any lower. While it is not the season for extensive activity among jobbers, there Is a good volume of filling in orders and the statistical portion is firmly held by the curtailment of spin- ming which Is still considerable. Full quo- tations are now asked in lines upon which concessions were lobtainable a week ago. Export sales are larger, although most bids from China are still below the bids of makers. Clothiers salesmen have not yet made sufficient progress to establish the trend of demand for mems wear wool ens and there is little duplicate business in heavy weights.
 Conditions in the footwear industry were unsettled by the labor controversy at Lynn, and some other factories are closed for inventories. There Is no controversy over price, Similar conditions exist as to heavy leather, small stocks being carried by the shoe factories and quotations are well maintained. Light sole and upper leather is more abundant, sales of the former being made at pronounced conces- sions Export demand has sustained the | market for glazed kid, but domestic trade | is poor Weakness in hides Is more mo- | ticeable, natives being relatively easier , than branded varieties.

Talladega. October 17.-(speeial)- Borden Burr. solicitor of this circuit is busy with a great mass of written testimony and legal papers. preparing for the trial of a number of defend ants who are alleged to have com mitted murder during the late strike in the Birmingham district. The Shelby circuit court. Judge Pelham presiding, will begin the trial next Monday at Columbiana. and 1t promises to be a most interesting legal battle One fea- ture of the case which will be especial ly stressed is the alleged fact that white men and negroes were banded together to carry out the strike, and who in doing so, broke the laws of Alabama.
 Those who will be tried for murder growing out of dynamiting houses at Acton during the strike are General Lee. negro; Ed Jackson, a negro who is. said to be the vice president of the Acton local. and Ed Harrington, a white man. There are 13 others who are jointly indicted with these. but a severance has been demanded and the cases of the remaining defendants have 1 been continued.
 Frank S. White & Sons and Peters & Wallace represent the defendants. l Borned H. Burr conducts the prosecu- tion as solicitor of the circuit. This trial will be the last echo bf the sec ond serious one in Alabama, a strike 1 which will go down in history as the 1 first one in our state where murder and i dynamitfng were used as adjuncts of l the strike.
