names he could not recall without
prompting, for they embraced old
friends and allies and bitter political
foes, but all this was laid aside for
day in New York's expression of the
national welcome to the statesman
and hunter.
Naval Parade Impressive.
There was but one warship and five
torpedo boats in the fleet, but it
lacked nothing OF dignity because of
the necessary omission. There were
twelve divisions, each commanded by
a vice commodore under general SUI
pervision of Fred B. Dalzell. In the
first and second division were steam
boats carrying members of various po-
litical organizations. The Republican
club of New York, Hamilton club of
Chicago, Duquesne club of Pittsburg
and Union League club of Philadel-
phia were among them, and each had
a steamer filled to the guards and
canopied in bunting.
The third division was composed en-
tirely of steam yachts, and this was
the social section, for the women lent
their aid to the celebration with the
gayety of summer costume. The re-
naming division contained tugs and
miscellaneous craft The entire course
in the upper bay and North river was
patrolled by revenue cutters and
steam craft impressed into service by
the committee in charge.
The water display was an impress
sive one. The big armored cruiser,
North Carolina, was President Taft's
insistent contribution as an admins
trative feature, and it formed black
spot in the array of highly decorated
steamers and tugs.
Straight up the North river the pro-
cession moved, factories and vessels
along the shores adding their whistles
to the din that carried for miles. The
boats were in two lines 200 feet apart
and kept to the New Jersey side of
the river to Fifty-ninth street, where
stakeboat was placed. On the re-
turn trip the boats followed the New
York side and enabled Colonel Roose-
welt to review the procession, the
Androscoggin passing through the cen
ter of the fiotilla. BY the time Col
onel Roosevelt arrived at the Battery
the boats were still moving up the
river. The nearest approach to the
demonstration was the trip up the
same river in 1899 of Admiral Dewey
and the Olympia on his return to the
United States after his triumph at
Manila

VICTORIOUS FIFTH

"NHIS Is the day
When the little boy next door,
Who has always had penchant
for peeking into things,
Is seen resting on the front porch
In bandages,
Explaining to group of admiring friends
Just how he thought the cannon wasn't
going off
When he blew
Down the touchhole.
This is the day
When the old cat
Drags herself out from under the barn,
looking like a hair mattress after a
cyclone,
And examines her tail to see if it is all on
And then,
With a rueful smile, takes
A quiet, unobtrusive sneak into the coal
cellar,
Where there aren't any squibs or
Firecrackers

People Pack Water Front.


The water front on both sides of the
Hudson was black with people, special
grand stands being erected on many
of the piers, and exorbitant prices
were charged for seats.
It was about IL o'clock when Colonel
Roosevelt and the reception commit
tee disembarked at the Battery, where
Mayor Gaynor awaited them. Every
available foot of ground not guarded
with physical force by the police was
occupied, and it was with difficulty
that Broadway was kept clear for the
land parade.
The debarkation was the signal for
the start of a hoarse roar from the
crowd, which was but temporarily
checked by the presidential salute of
twenty-one guns from the North Caro-
lima. The arrangements at the Bat
terry were so perfect that Colonel
Roosevelt was landed without incon-
venience and made his way on a
raised walk from the pier to the plat
form facing Battery park in compare
tive comfort The windows and roofs
of surrounding skyscrapers reflected
the masses of people on the Hudson's
shores, and no point of vantage was
too dangerous to lack an occupant
According to the committees pro-
gramme, the ceremonies of welcome
were brief The advance of Mr..
Roosevelt to the front Of the platform
was the signal for marvellous demon
stration, during which time he re-
newed his acquaintance with. Mayor
Gaynor and others and then waited
for the tumult to subside The noise
would die away. and then the colonel,
catching sight Of some child in the
crowd who was waving a handker.

Bradstreet's Review


New York, August 1s.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Crop reports and fall jobbng trade
show further Improvement. This is most
marked In the west, where general rains
have improved corn and where house
trade has expanded as the result of the
arrival of country buyers. Better than
expected results from spring wheat have
made for more optimistic feeling also
In the northwest. Southern trade has
been slower to expand and there Ia
still disposition to go slowly in that
section pending clearer view of the cot
ton crop. Large eastern centers report
buyers numerous and trade expanding,
but conservatism still rules buying the
country over.
Reports as to retail trade are of contin-
ued rather quiet conditions, and with
clearance sales not bringing out the trade
earlier anticipated.
Other Developments of the week have
been largely favorable.
The western financial situation has I'M
questionably been eased by the readiness
of farmers to market their grain West
ern millers are evidently getting more
orders for -four and have bought freely
of new crop wheat.
Reports from leading industries are not

many centers and lumber and hardwar re

From the West Come the Best
General Reports
SOUTHERN TRADE SLOW
Conservatism Is the Rule In Nearly All
Sections-Leadinx Industries
Do Not Show Much
Retirement

New York August 19-R. G. DIM &
Company's weekly review of trade to-
morrow will say:
While trade contraction continues SEN
timent improves and the conditions I'M
DERIVING the situation appear stronger.
While quietness still prevails in most
departments of the iron and steel mar
ket there has been practically no further
decline In quotations. The general opin-
ion appears to be that the lowest point
has now been reached and that any
change occurring from now on will be to-
ward a higher level Production of pig
iron is In about the same volume as a
week ago; but buying shows further con-
traction although at the expense OF a re-
duction in stocks in the hands of the
fabricating interests while new orders
in some lines of finished steel are said
to exceed those of the same time in the
previous month, when fair sized orders
were placed for rail-
The tone in the dry goods markets is
better, especially with jobbers and selling
agents, but business is still of limited
proportions. with buyers showing little
desire to operate beyond well defined re-
quirements. Cotton goods and cotton
yarn hold firm with buying showing
more breadth. The week sales at Fall
River reached 100000 pieces, or double
the amount of the restricted output of
print cloths, while sales of $500 bales of
standard drills for India was the largest
business with the far east. Business on
wool firsts and worsteds is of a more
limited character, although there is more
agreement regarding values. The trend
of the production is still much below
normal and there is a general desire on
the part of the producers to avoid ac-
foundations.
| Many shoe manufacturers have COM
pleted contracts on fall goods and now
are doing little owing to lack of supple
mentary fall orders. Most of the New
England factories are still running on
part time and the local 1obbing trade
continues to improve, owing to approach
ing opening of the schools The hide
market is less active and the advanced
prices demanded of late have checked
the demand There is some Improvement
in leather and Increased sales have been
made In certain directions, but the sit
uation on the whole is still far from sat

further concessions have been made in
prices in order to effect business

From New York came story this aft
ernoon that Roosevelt is not the defeated
figure shown on the face of the returns
at yesterdays committee meeting. Ac-
cording to this story the former Presi-
dent knew what would happen as to the
temporary Craftsmanship; that he allowed
his name to be used for the express pur-
pose of getting an apparent throw
down." thereby concentrating attention
on the vital underlying issue; that he has
big card up his sleeve and that he will
turn the tables on his enemies when the
convention meets at Saratoga next
month This declaration is made In spite
of the more or less convincing reasons
proclaimed by Chairman Tim Woodruff
as to why the majority in the state con-
vention will be controlled by the bosses
who voted against the selection Of Roose-
welt as temporary presiding officer and
sounder of the keynote.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-08-20

Another point of view develops the be-
lief that the New York machine leaders
were deliberately riding for a fall when
they turned down the former President.
They cannot hope to carry the state, 1t Is
pointed out, without the nominal support
of Colonel Roosevelt; much less could
they expect to win at the polls with his
open hostility. Do they care more for
the saving of the organization" than the
probability of losing the state to the
democrats? Are they playing game in
harmony with certain powerful standpat
leaders in the wider national contestf
These are questions that have arisen to
excite heaps of speculation.
One important thing that stands out Is
that the New York organization leaders
openly assert the prime consideration at
present is unqualified Endorsement of the
Taft administration by the republicans OF
the Empire State. Does this indicate that
the prominence of Roosevelt imperils that
standing by the President" which would
have a powerful moral effect on the rest
of the country? In other words, do the
DEVELOPMENTS of the last "a hours mark
the formal severance Of friendly relations
between the President and his predeces-
sor?
