COMMERCIAL COLUMN
Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reports.

R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Further significant improvements
: have been made in iron and steel.
and as they form a great basic trade
this goes far toward establishing the
long desired reimbursement of the
whole industrial situation. This, and
the better weather for both agricul-
tural and mercantile interests, are
the weeks most important trade de-
velopments. A marked optimistic
feeling therefore prevails in most
branches of business in spite of the
fact that the unsettling tariff debate
continues, not having yet reached it's
last stage-that of the conference
committee. The notable event of the
week in cotton goods has been the
reduction in staple prints, led by the
leading producer. The declines prove
to be more radical than anticipated,
although opinions. in the trade vary
as to their probable duration. !;
Bradstreet's says:
Irregularity still characterizes the
trade, crop and industrial situations
In industrial lines the consensus Of
reports is that further Improvement
has been registered, especially in the
iron and steel, coal, coke, wooden
manufacturing and leather trades.
Building is active and lines of trade
catering to this industry are feeling
beneficial effects. 1t is a between
seasons period in wholesale and job
bling distributive trade; orders from
retailers are merely of a filling-in
character and hardly equal to ex-
pectations.

WISE WORDS.

"A skeptic is a man who has lost
faith in himself.
The chiropodist believes in tight
shoes-for others.
The loafer is willing to work-if he
can work a loan.
And the man who does the least
talking often has the most to say.
Unless you have faith in your eff
fort 1t will be a failure.
The brand of popularity you can
buy isn't worth the price.
Dead men tell no tales-and even
their epitaphs are not always be-
lieved.
Stealing time from sleep is a poor
way to beat it.
There are two sides to every story
and some have four and ceiling.
The wind frequently turns an UNI
brella, but borrower seldom returns
it.
The right kind of man doesn't have
to spend half his time looking for q
job.

acknowledgement of her mental SUI.
