son gained first through an error by
the shortstop and scored on Moore's
hit. p. Myers struck out and Moore

IMPROVEMENT IN
 GENERAL TRADE Conservatism Is Shown In
 Wholesale Lines GOOD OUTLOOK FOR FALL Jobbing Trade Is Expanding and Re- taiIers Are Now Engaged in Handling the Remnants of
 the Summers Business.
GOOD OUTLOOK FOR FALL

New York, August 13-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say
 Improvement is more manifest in gem eral trade and industry this week. but there is still present the feeling of con- servatism hitherto noted, which makes for small and frequent, rather than heavy individual sales. Developments have been largely favorable, chief among these the increased arrivals of buyers in most mar kets, greater disposition to take hold for fall and spring delivery, very fa- vorable government crop report, the con tinuance of the marked strength in the securities markets, the growing firmness of the time money market. Trade with first hands in dry goods is fair, while jobbing trade expands most rapidly and retail trade is now engaged in digesting the remnants of summer business. The railroad situation Is improving and idle cars are disappearing on the western lines as the winter wheat movement enlarges. Industries are active, iron and steel leading, with railroads reported buying freely of rails, cars and locomo- tives. There is increasing evidence of growing scarcity of help in some sections. notably the coke regions, from which em- igration was heavy during the depres- sion.
 Collections show little improvement, but as yet do not reflect the influence of new crop marketing, possibly because of the farmers being busily engaged.
 Building Is active.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending with August 12 were 21s, against 1s4 last week. and 249 in the like week of 1908.

Dun's Weekly Review.

New York, August 13.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say
 All branches of business affected by the new tariff are rapidly adjusting them selves to the amended schedules and the ending of the period of uncertainties as to the rates of duty to be imposed had already had the effect of stimu- lating trade. Reports from all the inn portant cities in all the leading trades are most encouraging
 In the iron and steel trade each week serves to bring an increased volume of business to the mills and labor is in greater request. Advices from the prin- cipal industrial centers indicate that working forces are being enlarged wher- ever possible and retail trade shows more activity as payrolls expand Conditions in tie steel rail division steadily im- prove, the railroads buying with increased freedom. Liberal orders are received for cars, but structural contracts are not significant. although considerable bus mess for moderate lots continues to be placed
 The trend toward a fuller demand in the dry goods trade has been steady and conservative. Jobbers report a more gen. eral call for merchandise. Ready-to- wear and speciality houses are particularly busy but fleece goods and knit goods are in better demand than at any time since the middle of the spring jobbing sea- son.
 In the primary markets on cotton yarns the uncertainty of prospects in raw cot ton is still a factor in causing delay in naming prices on late delivery goods.
 Woolens and worsteds show no sign of recession from very strong position Reports of large orders for cotton goods for shipment to the Philippines are con- firmed.
 The footwear market continued in a waiting position. but the adjustment of the tariff schedules will lead to more activity, as some buyers have not sup piled their fall wants. The leather mar ket is somewhat unsettled, owing to the lower prices being made by some tan ners on sole, while an accumulation af- fects the lower grades of side upper leather.

NEARLY HALF EXCAVATED
SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS BEING
MADE ON PANAMA CANAL.
Col. Goethals Estimates That the
Waterway Will Be Ready for
Use January l, 1915.

Substantial progress in canal construc-
ton along all lines is shown by reports
received at the Washington Office OF the
Isthmian canal commission. Excavation
work by the Americans approxlmates ~,
OOO,O cubic yards, almost as much as the
total amount of dirt taken out by the
French during the period they were en-
gagged in operations there. Less than
1OO,OOO,OOO cubic yards Of earth remain to
be taken out of the ditch, so that that
feature of the work to be done at Panama
is almost half completed. Col. Goethais
has estimated that the great waterway
will be ready for the passage of ships by
the list of January, 1915. so that he has
five years and half to make good his
prediction.
Stupendous figures tell the story Of the
great work at Panama Four hundred
and eighty concrete monoliths had been
laid when the north section of the floor
of the great Gatum dam spillway was
completed recently. Thirty thousand
cubic yards of concrete were laid In that
section. Each monolith is thirty feet
long and twenty feet wide. The section.
one of three necessary to complete the
spillway, is $50 feet long and 300 feet wide.
A very satisfactory condition has been
found in some excavations in the Mindl
hills between Gatum and Limon bay,
where work is being carried on thirty
two feet below sea level. There has been
surprisingly little seepage into the ex-
cavation since the work below sea level
was begun, when it Is considered that a
dixie a few feet thick keeps the water in
the old French canal from flowing into
the trench, and that the Bay of Limon is
within two miles and the Mindi river
within a few hundred yards of the pit.
