~HIS season has seemed to mark
an epoch i'll the history of the

OF the once fashionable Palais Royal
The adjoining boulevards between the
hours of > and IN the afternoon are
quite deserted. while tho crowd seeks
the short length of street extending
from The Place &c TOpcra to the Hotel
Ritz. The crowd of fashionably attired
people is sometimes so dense that 1t is
Impossible TO walk with comfort on the
trottoirs. while the street itself IL
blocked with the finest eruipaSes in the
whole city. Some time ago the best
known jewellers of the Pal.,is Royal de-
cided TO remove their shops TO the wider
Rue de la PaiX and these were the ones
that made the afternoon promenade
under the galleries of ihc Palais Royal
almost "a social duty. The Parisians,
until the last few months. have never
seriously considered the Rue de la Paix
as a place for promenading, but they
seem TO have come 10 II with venge-
ance.
IL Was Louis Philippe Joseph. Duc
d 'OrIeans and grandson of the regent Of
Louis XIV. who first conceived the idea
Of rcpIcnishiEg his fortune by turning
the Palais Royal into shops. These
quickly became an attraction. and a

ment of millions is that they want no
change, and there is victory everywhere,
apparently, William e. Taft carrying
nearly every doubtful state. The VIC

SAYS PRESIDENT FINLEY OF THE
SOUTHERN RAILWAY

Washington, Oct. president
Finley, Of the Southern Railway
Company, who has just returned to
Washington from an inspection trip
of two weeks over the lines of the
system, found evidences OF improve
ment in business conditions and of a
general disposition on the part of
business men throughout the South
to take a hopeful view of the future.
Speaking of the information he had
gathered or his trip. Mr. Finley said:
Prices for pig iron are firmer.
Southern furnaces, as rule, have
sold their product up to the end Of
the year, and the increasing number
Of inquiries for iron warrant the ex-
pectation thai orders will soon be
placed for business during the com
ing year.
Lumber is more active than for
some months past, Especially is
this true Of the grades shipped in
box cars. The present demand will
be augmented by increased require
ments from railways principally for
car repairs, as some Of the railways
are contracting with car companies
for car repairs, as some of the rail
ways are contracting with car COM
panles for some of their heavier re-
pair work.
One OF the most encouraging
signs Of reviving industrial activity
is the increasing movement of steam
coal TO industrial centers. The un-
usually warm weather OF the present
tail IS retarding the movement of
domestic coal.
The cotton crop is early. and the
fibre is moving to market in larger
volume than at this time last year.
although, as result Of the stagna
ton which has prevailed in the cot
ton goods market, prices are lower
than a year ago. The demand for
cotton-seed products is good and
they are moving freely
The domestic market for cotton
goods shows indications of gradual
improvement Owing to the accu-
mutations of large stocks and to
other causes affecting that market
there is at present little demand for

Grain traffic into the South-es-

Merchandise stocks which had
