BETTER CONDITIONS
Corn and Cotton Harvest Expected to
Have Effect Upon Nations
Buying Power.

New York;. C. Dun & Co. will
say:
In It's bearing upon the future buy
ing power of the country the most i'm
portant developn Mt OF the week is
the official confir nation of the har.
vesting Of the biggest corn crop on
record, considerably over 5000, 900

The government report of cotton gin
ning is also helpful, indicating a crop
we'll in excess of last year.
The business outlook, hswever, is
still doubtful, and under conservative
control with the volume Of transac-
tons considerably below full capacity.
The financial situation continues to
maintain an ascendancy over the
. commercial, and while there Is no
substantial recession of the more
hopeful sentiment recently establish
ed, financial conditions are not clear
ly defined. The passing of the con-
gressional and state elections removed
one important uncertainty, but not
enough time has yet elapsed in which
to form complete judgment as to the
ultimate effect upon trade interests.
Physical conditions which make for
continued national prosperity are
nearly all that could be desired. What
is holding back the full measure OF
business activity and profit that is der
sired are perplexities of mans own
making, and which spring out OF the
conflicting interests of competing
classes. 1t is the hope of rapidly get
ting rid of most of these anxleties

veloped optimism. There is, however,
as yet no vital change IN actual con-
ditions.

is fresh and the cool air should be closed
in. excluding the heat, which comes
quickly from pavements or roads
Life in tropical countries during hot
weather would be impossible unless this
procedure were followed, but in this tenn
perature even fifteen degrees difference
in the mercury may be had by these
simple precautions.
on the house or apartment the house
keeper should see that every blind in the
place is closed. 1t makes no difference
IL the sun may not reach that par
ticular window; the mere fact that the
temperature is affected Is enough to re-
ouire that it shall be excluded.
In the country a greater current Of air
