DRY Goods Market Makes
The Best Showing,
Iron and Steel Trade Is Run
ming Below Capacity.
Canadian Sentiment Is Optimistic
Owing to Good narvesis.

New York, Sept. 30-R. G. Dun G.
Cos. Weewly Review of Trade to-
morrow will say: The trade recession,
although plain. continues regular.
Among the large divisions the dry
goods trade makes about the best
showing, while the iron and steel
trade is running much below capacity.
Measuring by producing capacity
may, however. not give the truest
test of the situation as in nearly all
branches of industry producing ca
paclty has in recent years been car
ried to the highest point of possible
consumption. Contradictory condi-
tons prevail in dry goods markets.
Dress goods and mems wear for i'm
mediate shipments are in better de-
mand, while spring business is lin
tied. Dress ginghams and sub-count
prints in cotton goods are being or
dered freely, but staple domestics are
very quiet, although there is mod
crate demand for print cloth yarn for
printers and converters use sales at
Fail River last week running ahead
of production. A contraction in trade,
Influenced by financial conditions, is
plainly visible and jobbers are maxi
ing usual efforts to keep stocks low
until stock taking time. Mills continue
to curtail in cotton centers, and until
the cotton crop is matured selling
agents are slow to move on prices for
staples. Yarns rule generally quiet,
with some improvement noted in the
call for worsteds. The silk trade
shows 6ani6a6 cfoo6inocc hot
tone.
Western footwear manufacturers
are receiving large orders for certain
kinds of goods and business again
shows improvement this week, but
other lines are as slow as ever Some
New England factories are operating
full time. The price question is no
longer the disturbing element that it
has been and values are firm. Trade
in sole leather is improving with siz-
able sales of union backs reported
recently in the Boston market and
tanners asking firmer values on about
all tannangers. Betting butts are

OF course you and every intelligent
reader of the Kennebec Journal knows
that dandruff is caused by germ.
DR.. Sangerbund, the great French ply
stefan, proved this beyond a doubt.
In order to rid your scalp of filthy
dandruff you must kill the germ. There

America, that is guaranteed to eradicate
dandruff, stop falling hair. splitting hair
and scalp itch i'm two weeks, or money
back.
Bowdtch, Webster & Co. guarantee it.
If YOU have dandruff get a large SO
cent bottle today and rid yourself of it.
Remember that If dandruff germs are not
destroyed in time. the hair will surely
fall out and badness will follow.
Here's proof of what Partisan Sage has
done; 1t will do more. 1t is the finest hair
grower and hair dressing in the world,
and people who use it regularly will never
grow bald. Mrs. John Stoner, Evansville.
Ind. writes on June 2, 1910:
II used Partisan Sage and found it very
successful: it removes dandruff and gives
the hair life. only used two bottles. I
know it is a cure for dandruff.''
Large bottles so cents at Bowditch,

Two young lads, each IA years of age
applied Friday morning to City Marshal
Wakefield for assistance in returning =
their homes. Marshal Wakefield ques-
toned the boys and learned that they
had left their homes in Charlestown
Mass, and came to Maine to work. They
gave their names as Edward Collins and
Joseph Murphy. 1t seems that they came
down to Maine on the boat from Boston
and got off at Cedar Grove, where they
had heard that there was work for boys
Finding no chance there they walked to
Gardiner and arrived here Thursday
night. They claimed to have stayed with
a young fellow that night, but got out
early yesterday morning and were hun
CRY. A breakfast was provided and then
Marshal Wakefield telegraphed to the
fathers of the boys. The father of one
of them al once telegraphed the money
for his boy. The father of the other was
working some distance from home and
would not return until evening, and so
both boys were kept here mntil the mon
ey for the other one arrived. They will
be put on the train and started for their
homes this morning. Both are bright
appearing lads and were evidently out to
see the world and make a living for
themselves If possible. The only part
about the trip was their leaving with

from their trains Just before the en-
gines collded was all that saved the
crews of two through freights from
instant death when the trains collldeo
head on, on the main line of the Gen.
trail Vermont Railroad two miles south
of here today. All of the men were
slightly bruised, the worst injured be-
ing Engineer Lewis Busharde of st
Adams, engineer of the northbound
train, who sustained a fractured
shoulder.
Tonight the wreckage of score OF
more freight cars is piled up on the
tracks in such a manner as to make
it absolutely impossible to lay spur
track or take other emergency meas
ures and as a result all passenger and
freight traffic over this part of the
Central Vermont system is tied up
The cars were so completely demOl-
ished that the wreckage will have to
be burned to clear the track.
The collision was due, it was stated
by officials tonight. to the failure of
the southbound train, which was made
up of some 80 heavily loaded cars, to
obey orders and wait at RoXbury. This
train ran into northbound train of
empties at sharp turn on the road
and not one of the empties was left
upon its trucks Neither engine, how
ever, left the rails.
The scene of the wreck was less
than quarter of mile south of Har-
low bridge, where the big wreck of
III years ago occurred and hardly two
miles from the scene of the August
wreck in which half a dozen lives were
lost

Mrs. Louisa Richardson.

The death of Mrs. Louisa Richard
son, wife of the late Franklin Richard
son, occurred quite suddenly about 6
o'clock Friday evening at the home of
her son Frank on Bowman street. She
had been in poor health for some time
but was able to be about the house.
Friday afternoon she fell and sustained
a severe blow on the head and it is
thought that this fastened her death,
heart failure being stated as the pri-
mary cause of death. Mrs. Richardson
was 70 years and months old and was
born in Chelsea, Me. The funeral will
be held Monday forenoon and the in
terment will be in Kings Mills
