! New York. Aug. S7.-Bradstreets' re-
view OF the state OF trade says:
Trade and Industrial tendencies are
still in the direction Of improvement.
Impetus Is given these movements by
the beginning Of the cotton harvest at
the South, by the completion OF the
spring wheat harvest in the Northwest
and on the Pacific Coast. and by the
gathering in Of other products OF agri-
cultural interests in various sections OF
the country
Retail trade still largely deals with
the disposal Of summer goods. mainly al
concessions. In wholesale and Jobblng
lines Of dry goods there is still in evil
dence cautious buying, particularly Of
lower priced cotton goods. which have
been marked up in price.
The wool and leather markets are
rather quieter, but very strong Indus
try is becoming increasingly active, iron
and steel leading. despite some further
price advances. and mills are reported
behind on deliveries. Demand for coal
is expanding east and west.
1.-THE building trades are active. this
being reflected in an Improvement in
lumber and other materials at many cen
ters. Collections show Improvement at
many centers. Pig iron markets are
active and sellers views as 20 prices
prevail.
while activity has not been confined
10 any one market. It is more apparent
in the East than elsewhere In that
section foundry and steel making irons
are higher"

stack in a moment of panic at the
station here. The last heard of him
he was coughing and sneezing and
cursing the smoke. cinders and heat.
1t may be by this time he is breath
ing "a profane benediction on the
crown sheet of the firebox or telling
the steam-charred boiler tubes what
he thinks of them. On the other hand,
he may be dead
From the strictly profane point OF
view. Mephisto was the best educated
parrot in this section of New Jersey.
He could swear with fiuency in five
languages and also in several dialects.
Every noun, verb, adjective, conjunc-
ton, proposition and article in the vo-
cabulary was either tainted or tine
tured with profanity. Not one of his
many friends expressed any hope for
his future. He was beyond reforma-
tion and redemption.
Sorrenson, who lives in New street.
took Mephisto to the station Thursday
evening. The parrot was drawing
with energy upon his vocabulary and
delighting one part of big crowd
and shocking others when the New
York train rolled in. Mephisto be-
came panic stricken at once. He
| flew from the arm of his owner, cir
cled twice above the locomotive and
then dived down the smoke stack
The astounded spectators heard vol
ley of oaths coming out with the
smoke. and then there was silence.
| There is division of opinion as to
what produced it,
Those who were shocked by the
language the parrot had used say the
silence was caused by suffocation.
The birds friends assert, however,
that Mephisto simply was racking his
brains to find words to fit the new
situation in which he found himself.
