While events generally tend toward

jobbing lines, and at several large CEN
tiers fall trade, notably in dry goods. has

as a whole, trade, though in a few in
stances equal to year ago at this date,
is still generally below the normal, and
the approach of the election has a ten

necessary purchases.
Western trade advices are good as a
whole, though house trade is on the wane
and travelling statesmen are relied upon to
take care of recorder business. There is
very general agreement that stocks are
small in retailers hands. and color to
this is given by the many orders given
for immediate shipment, which throws
unusual burdens in turn upon jobbers,
wholesalers and manufacturers.

CHICAGO.

Some irregularity is seen in the course
of events, but the general trend of busi-
ness is encouraging. Temporary setbacks
are caused by forest fires, delayed fall
blowing and postponed demand in leading
retail lines, all due 10 the abnormal
drought.
The volume of payments through the
banks furnishes the best record in twelve
weeks, and is considerably above that of
the corresponding week of 1906, when
trade was remarkably active, while the
comparison with year ago shows only a
small loss.
A healthy indication is the firmer tone
in money, which has caused an advance
in the discount rate.
Despite increasing shipments of cur
rency TO move the crops and reserving of
funds to meet heavy October settlements,
bank deposits remain at the best average
of the season and resources are ample
for anticipated borrowing needs.
Investment has widened in choice bonds,
although the new issues are restricted.
and sales of local securities almost equal
those at this time last year. There is
also considerable money going into real
estate, mostly bought for improvement
purposes. The total new building work
and heavy construction compares favor
ably with this time last year. and labor
finds more employment at good wages.
Absorption OF building materials stead
lily expands, and this strengthens the
conditions in lumber. structural steel,
wood work and quarrying. shipments hav-
ing increased and prices icing firmly up

Manufacturing discloses no significant
change in production. More machinery
and hands, however, are active ADD new
orders come forward as well as expected
in iron, brass and electric lines.

managers are by no means confident that
the bill will pass. Some of the men who
support it are not enthusiastic, and the
managers believe they consented to the
advancement merely that there might be
further argument on it and that it is
their intention to vote against the bill
when it comes up for passage. The bill
provides that the county commissioner
