Those starving cats are starving yet.

ptIN,s WEEKLY REVIEW.

New York, Sept. 10.-The price sit.
uation in the leading departments OF
trade is proving factor of overshad-
owing Importance and in some direc-
tjons caused a marked conservatism
of purchases but demand to replen-
ish stocks Is expected soon to start
an unusually active buying movement.
Tndustrially the outlook Is as brilliant
as ever. particularly In the iron aud
steel trade, in which prosperity can
not exist, except when the crops prom
ise abundantly and other productive
powers are profitably employed.
The primary cotton goods market IS
for the moment quiet. Mems wear
mills are busy but footwear factories
are awaiting returns from their sales
men. Hides and leather are gradually
adjusting to the new conditions but
| the prices are firmly maintained
Building is active. Taking the conn
trv at large there is notable freedom
from industrial disputes. The vel J
satisfactory employment OF labor mus
hsoon add to the retail purchase
which now expand slowly.
Retailers are numerous in the ar
goods market but purchasers are cor
servatiye. New business in footwea
! is held in check by the price situatio!
satisfactory volume of trade in Ch
eago packer hides continues. Countf
hides continue firm. Leather Is que
, hut the prices are firm.

HRAosTREET's REPORT.

New York, Sept. 10.-Operations in
industrial lines are still expanding
and in some branches of the iron and
steel trade, record outputs are the
rule. Manufacturing activity Is in the
forefront, Skilled workmen in some
branches are not plentiful enough
Plants that have been late in sharing
in the revival are more active ana
night worw is not uncommon.
Purely distributive trade has prob,
ably tapered off little In certain
lareg centers, as interior merchants
have finished their purchases. SUI
the iobbing trade is good and In som"
centers, particularly where fall fes'i-
walls are held, the purchases in dry
goods, groceries and other staples mas
increased, although fall buying has
possibly passed the zenith. There has
| been no tendency to overbuy mgn
prices for one thing having caused
caution.
Wheat cotton and oats are beinl
moved to market freely at good prices
Building is more active than usual =
this season and the ratio of gain 10
August over year ago Is the 'iargeS
shown for any month since May.
Business failures IN the Unite'
states are 1871 against 1911 for tn
same week in 1908.
Wheat including flour, exports frol
the United States to Canada aggrT
gate 2.6156S5 bushels against 3,O12
