GET ANOTHER
VIEW OF COMET

Wnmngtonians got another good
view Of the comet last night. Especi-
ally in the outskirts Of the city. where
the haze Of electric lights was not
so persistent and where there are wide
vacant spaces there congregated
crowds of persons gazing toward the
heavens in the southwest. There were
many doorbers ruug last night in those
sections by obliging neighbors who
passed the word that the elusive
celestial visitor could he seen again
without doubt. and with comfort.
The comet passed toward the west
with its tail almost directly east and
somewhat south of zenith To those
observers who saw 1t last night, it was
found 20 be a little south of a line
drawn on level with Jupiter The
head was a hazy mass much larger
than Jupiter, but very ill-defined, and
so faint that IL resembled section Of
the moon under a cloud. The tail
proved to have grown to great length
1t is now probably 30 degrees in length.
and has the appearance of a faint shaft
Of a searchlight
If the weather is as good tonight
as it was favorable last night. the
comet should be found i'm nearly the
same general position, just after sunset.
II should then he visible until mid
night, or until the moon rises and
floods the heavens with its pale beams.

Duns says
Changes i'm the business situation are in
the line of moderate Improvement Crop
prospects are better. and this IS plainly
indicated by the downward tendency Of
prices A slow but steady betterment Of
conditions is also observable in cotton
goods. although activity is still mod
crate Wool continues duh. and the
shoe trade is noticeably inactive, with
curtailment of production taking place.
Reports of retail and wholesale trade
continue to show a wide difference Of
conditions in different sections. Taking
the country as a whole. however in
spite of these differences the volume
Of transactions is great.
Buying Of cotton goods is still limited
and mills are still indisposed to ac-
cept long contracts owing to unsatis-
factory prices. Curtailment is growing
