the hammers rang. There was an

1t was propelled by an engine and in

crowd, as it was the first that has been

Away over in the southeast corner of
the lot fires had been started under
great black kettles. It was not long
until the savory fumes o. coffee drifted
across the field The stake drivers hal
had no breakfast. They would have
none until their part of the work was
done and it was for them the coffee
was being prepared. In another sec

Huge Balls Of Canvas.
Out in the middle of the field huge
balls of canvas were being dumped
from wagons Great masses OF ropes
were untangled. The canvas was
spread out in all directions. Short
poles were inserted and three men
with bountiful supply of smaller
ropes laced the sections of cloth to-
gether. Great center poles had been
lifted into space and in an incredibly
short time the big tent that houses
the throngs of spectators was up. A
hundred small boy helpers aided the
regular gangs in carrying the seats
and in two hours everything was ready
for the band to play, the grand pro-
cession to enter and the ring master
to take his position trailing after him
his long pistol cracking whip.
The circus was in town ready to
entertain the masses. The poputa-

Business Review of The
Past Week BY Henry Clews

probability is that the leading shares
will be protected for the present at
least against any additional violent
break.
Reports from the west are very op-
timistic and the belief in trade i'm
provement strengthens rather than
weakens. The harvest is now begun
in many sections and results are re-
ported as satisfactory. 1t is still too
early for any satisfactory data as to
corn. August, it must be remembered
usually being a period of deteriora-
ton. Nevertheless the expectation still
holds for a 100000 bushel corn crop.
Along with this wave of optimism.
however. is a note of caution. West
ern buyers 1t is to be noted are TAX
ing hOd OF textile and other manufac-
tured products very cautiously, fearing
that present high prices may check
consumption and leave them stranded
with large stocks OF high priced goods.
Since the tariff agitation was settled
a decided sense of relief has been felt
in many manufacturing circles and
prices in numerous cases have already
advanced in consequence. There must
of course be a limit to the level to
which values can be raised An appar-
emily that limit will not be reached
until the point Of exhaustion; or until
the consumer through sheer inability
must refuse to pay. A favorable de-
velopment has been the recent decline
in cereals to more reasonable prices.
This will tend to somewhat Offset the
high cost Of living by providing q
cheaper food. 1t should also facilitate
much needed increase of exports.
