BUSINESS BRIEFS.

News has just reached Detroit that
the EMF directors have declared q
semi-annual dividend of s250000 in
cash. The EMF has had a very sat
isfactory year, and reports no signs
of slumping In the automobile trade.
Even during the last month, when
business Is usually dull, the company
has been getting orders right along
and has been increasing its force in
stead of laying men of. Work Is be-
ing rushed on the addition to the plant
which will almost double its capacity.
The annual outing Of the Builders
and Traders Exchange, which took
place Tuesday evening was most
successful affair. Members Of the ex-
change with their friends, making up
a party of 300, went to Bots Blanc IN
the afternoon, arriving in time for
dinner at $50. The return trip was
made early In the evening. A landing
was made at 10 o'clock, the boat after
wards leaving for a cruise in Lake st.
Clair. There was dancing all the way.
One OF the features Of the excursion
wac the graceful Scotch dancing or
Miss Maud MacKay, accompanied by
]. M Inverarity on the bag pipes. The
ARRANGEMENTS, which we're made by
Secretary Charles Bowen. OF the ex-
change. were most satisfactory.

WOOL.

BOSTON, Aug. 3.-The improve
ment In the lightweight goods trade
has been reflected in the local wool
market, and an active demand for
nearly all lines has sprung up. Values
are rising for the first time In months,
although as yet the volume OF bust
ness is not large. Growers are still
holding for higher prices in the west,
and 22c Is said TO have been paid in
Montana for staple WOOL or 63c clean
ed. There Is some activity In the
foreign product, but pulled wool Is
very dull. The leading quotations

NEW RECRUITING STATION IN
SPECIFIED BY LIEUTENANT
SCHWARTZ, OF PAR.
kERSBuRG.

Lieutenant C. Z. Schwartz, of Par
kersburg, who has charge Of the Uni.
ted States Army recruiting stations in
this part of West Virginia, was in the
city last evening making an inspec.
ton of'the new station here which was
opened In the Carney building three
days ago. Lieutenant Schwartz stated
to representative of the West Vir-
ginian that he was very much pleased
with the headquarters selected for the
local station and that the men in
charge are excellent recruiting off.
GERS and that he believed that large
number OF men for the service could
be had from this vicinity, and that all
the men who had enlisted at the Fair
mont station during the past several
years, when station was in the Ma
sonic Temple, have proved to be good
soldiers.
Though the local station has been
opened only three da-e there have been
seven men from this county TO take
the physical and mental examination
and they made good averages. Just as

SM0KLESS POWDER
is BELIEVED THAT 1T WILL. BE
USED EXCLUSIVELY BY h
INTERPRETATIONS.

1t is thought that 1t will be only
a question of short while until all
the mines In this section will be using
smokeless powder for blasting. Dur
ing the past several weeks this pow
der has been used with considerable
more satisfactory results than the old
black powder in Mine No. IS of the
Consolidation Coal Company, near
this city. being the first mine in this
part of the State to use the smoke,
less.
The new powder is cheaper in the
long run. or course it costs more but
does not require as much to make the
same blasting, and it is said that, 1t Is
much easily handled in preparing a
shot while after the blast is exploded
