New York, July 29.-Bradstreet's review
Of the state Of trade tomorrow will say:
Trade is still quiet as a whole, more
so. indeed. in some lines than was the
case last week. and quieter even than
ordinarily at this midsummer period.
While conservatism still governs future
operations by wholesalers and jobbers.
and retail or final distribution is still dis
appointing. there are. however, some
movements which indicate a more Opti-
mistic outlook in leading basic lines.
Chief OF these probably is the sharp
uptufn following a heavy break in the
securities markets and recessions in grain
prices following recent advances, tending
TO point TO better than recently indicated
weather and grain crop conditions. At
one time this week a wel-dehned scare
developed as TO the corn crop, due TO talk
OF dry-weather damage. but this was
largely dIssipated later. and that crop,
except in the Southwest seems to be
passing through a critical stage OF the
season with fairly good success.
THE disappearance of high cash pre-
miums for wheat. based on the larger
movement Of the harvested winter crop,
was another event Of the week.
There is noted this year however, less
activity in the interior milling demand
for cash wheat, present so noticeable in
recently preceding years. which tends to
confirm the reports Of small advance or
ders for -four by millers. Reports from
the cotton crop are rather irregular. #
not even contradictory"

WEEKLY REVIEW. OF TRADE
Dun and Bradstreet Shop the Business Situation
SLOwLy Improving.

New York. July pr. C. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review OF trade tomorrow will
say:
There IS no lack of evidence that the
business situation Is much better than
the recent depression in Wall street
would Indicate Moreover. the financial
position, in spite OF the severe decline in
prices Of securities to the lowest quo
tations since the panic Of 1907, has been
strengthened by the liquidation of a
large syndicate. while the New York
banks have greatly increased their re-
serves.
Reports from the dry goods markets
are encouraging. IN view of the presence
Of more numerous buyers and of an in
creaslng demand for both cottons and
woods. A radical change for the better
is reported IN worsted woods One Of
the tests OF the situation is the heavy
gross earnings Of the railroads, which in
three weeks Of July made gains OF "a
per cent over last year.
Commercial failures this week In the
United States are 23s against 249 last
week, 2f7 the preceding week, and 227 the
corresponding week last year. Failures
in Canada number % against q last week.
% the preceding week, and q last year.
OF failures this week in the United States
Sc were in the East. 81 South, 81 West,
and . in the Pacific States. and 80 re-
port liabilities OF 5000 or more against
% last week. Liabilities OF commercial
failures reported for July TO date are
S9.20l,5iS. against $S,lOS.Ss7 for tho same
period last year"

He answered, MY mother told me

Then the teacher asked him if he
did not know that he had to have a
note to be excused. When the boy
heard this he looked very foolish in
deed. Finally, he asked
"'Will you let me -go?'
Then the teacher said, 'Of course
not I cannot let you go without a
note"
So the boy had to stay After that
he brought a note when he wished to
be excused.
But I must tell you how the boys
treated him. I am sorry to say they
treated him very badly. They would
tease him and make him do things for
them. Finally, his folks moved away,
