New York Especially. - Wilbur
Wright circled the great Statue of
Liberty at the entrance of New York
Harbor in his aeroplane, while in
the upper part of the city two huge
dirigible balloons failed ingloriously
in their task.
Both Wright and Glenn II. Curtiss
scared successfully from the Aero
drome of Governors Island in their
motor-propelled biplanes; both great
dirigibles, manned respectively by
Capt. Thomas Baldwin and George l..
Tomlinson and entered in the New
York Worlds $4,000 New York to

because of mechanical difficulties
before they were we'll under way.
Wilbur Wright made three sensa-
tional flights and Curtiss made one
brief though successful test spin of
80 seconds duration. Baldwin with
his dirigible landed in the Hudson
River less than an hour after the
start, while Tomlinson, after remain
ing in the air from 11.36 A. M. until
1.30 p. NJ, came to earth near White
Plains, N. Y, 90 miles from his
starting point. Neither of the dir
igible pilots was injured, nor was
either craft seriously damaged.

BUSINESS IS NOW
ON THE BOOM
Activity In All Departments OF
Industries.
Reports To The Federal Bureau OF
Statistics Show A Continued I'm
provement-Falling on In August
OF PaclSlng-House Products - All
Railroads Now Handling Greater
Number or Cars.

Washington. d. G. Especially A
continued Improvement in the indus
trial situation of the country is in
dicated by the reports of leading in
ternal commerce movements received
during the past month by the Bureau
OF Statistics of the Department of
Commerce and Labor. Unusually
large movements of soft coal, coke,
and iron ore, a corresponding heavy
output of pig iron, and large shipments
OF lumber to consuming centers are a
few indications of increasing indus
trial activity. The traffic activity of
the railroads, as measured by the
number of cars handled by the prin-
cipal car-service associations and de-
murrage bureaus in various parts of
the country, for the first time shows
a larger total than for the correspond
ing month in 1907. The grain re-
ceipts at the leading interior mar
kets were larger than during August
in the two previous years. The
movements of live stock and pro-
visions, also of hard coal, continued
lighter than in former years.
Receipts of live stock during Au-
gust at seven primary markets,
3,039,455 head, while considerably in
excess of the low July figures, were,
however, short of the August 1908
and 1907 figures of 3,232,441 and
3,130,225 head, all the important
packing centers except Omaha show
ing smaller monthly totals than a
year ago. OF the total received, $751;
622 head were cattle, 94,774 calves.
1,O93,495 hogs, 962,257 sheep, and
1907 horses and mules.
Loss In Packing-House Products.
The largest loss, as compared with
1908 figures, is shown in the receipts
of hogs. while gains appear under
the head of cattle and sheep. The
receipts for the eight months ending
August, 24,SO9,491 head, were like
wise below the correso soonding totals
in the two preceding years. the
losses in the receipts of hogs alone
amounting to IA per cent, as COM
pared with the corresponding 1908
figures. Smaller season receipts are
also shown for cattle. horses and
mules, while the 1909 figures for
calves and sheep show small gains
over the corresponding 1908 totals.
The August shipments Of packing
house products from Chicago, 1S1,-
241,313 pounds, likewise fell below
the corresponding 1908 and 1907
shipments of 1S4,319,37S and 202,-
10000 pounds. Losses are shown
in the case of the principal products
except picked beef, cured meats,
stearin. and tallow. The shipments
during the year to August 81, 1875
3S4,S pounds, were below the like
shipments for the period since 1903,
the largest losses occurring under
the head of fresh beef and lard, these
losses corresponding more or less to
the decreased exports of these arti-
cles as reported by the bureau The
eastward trunk-line movement of
provisions from Chicago during the
thirty-four weeks of the year, co.,
396 tons, shows an analogous de-
crease compared with the correspond
ing 1905 and 1907 figures of 7O4,-
O6S and 764,042 tons.

New York Especially New York
City and State gave Commander Rob-

returning heroes can hope TO receive.
From the bridge of his Arctic ship
Roosevelt Commander Peary with his
wife by his side, was the most promi-
nent feature of the 60 mile Hudson
Fulton naval parade from New York
to Newburg. All the way land and
water We'd with each other in
hurting their cheers of congratula-
tion through the air to the white
little ship, and the tall, military-look-
ing man smiled back his answer to
their greetings
Meanwhile Captain Bartlett was
kept at work so incessantly with
the whistle cord answering the sa-
lutes of passing craft that Chief En-
gineer Wardell called up from the
engine room that he would not have
steam enough to move the vessel If
they did not stop the whistle.

gull part of the Hudson, just below
West Point, this afternoon, as the
scene for an accident to her steering
gear. Unostentatiously and without
warning she parted her port tiller
rope and came to a stop. The mishap
was quickly discovered by Comman-
der Peary and anchor was dropped
while the rope was spliced. But

myself. 1t was magnificent"
Mrs. Peary also was delighted
with the fine welcome given by the
hundreds of marine craft, who show
ed themselves proud of the privi-
lege Of greeting her and her husband.
She smiled back her happiness in
response to each salute, whether
from a battleship or from a saucy
launch. Mrs. Peary had been deeply
apprehensive that the Cook contro-
versy might chill the greeting to her
husband, but her fears were dispelled
when the Cetius, the first of the long
line of crowded excursion steamers
to pass the Roosevelt, threw an echo
ing and re-echoing volley of huzzas
and cries of "Peary! Peary!" across
the water to the bridge where she
and Mr.. Peary stood.
