IN THE WORLD OF TRADE.

Conditions which VIII make for a
large revival of prosperous trade in
the business world this fall and win
ter are improvlns with each succeed
ing week. This is the opinion of Henry
Clews, the New York banker. who
writes about them in his weekly finan-
cial review as follows:
I'm some respects essential condi-
tions are improving. Two weeks more
and the corn crop will be out of dan
ger, so that if frost does not inter
vene, we are practically sure of a bum
per crop of about 3,000,0O0,00O bush
els, bringing to the farmers over
$1,000 100000 of new wealth. The i'm
portance of this factor, not only in it's
relation to the farmer, but to the rail-
roads and to numerous important in
dustries depending upon corn, can
hardly be overestimated. 1t will do
much to replace the West upon a
sound business basis. and must offset
many of the drawbacks arising from
recent OVERRIDING. The cotton crop is
also making satisfactory progress,
though later in maturing and more ex-
posed to injury from frost than corn.
All things considered. the harvest is
turning ont somewhat better than an
ticipated. While the grand results
measured in quantities are not what
was originally desired, still the coun-
try has escaped disaster from def
cheney; and growers will be more than
compensated for any shortage by the
profitable prices which nearly all farm
products now command. This coun-
try is peculiarly dependent upon its
harvests, and the fact that these are
about to be garnered with very salts
! factory financial results is basis for
much congratulation.

there has been decided improvement
and that is in the monetary outlook

A progressive man in public life is as
salIed by the temptation to seek
strength by overstatement, as well rs

drawn, take that attack of Senator
BrlstoW on Senator Aldrich the out
come OF which was so unmistakable
that it is still a topic of general dis
cussion. Imagine an attack which had
read somewhat thus:
Senator Aldrich is interested in the
success OF company which manufac-
lures rubber goods. He was instru-
mental in raising the tariff on these
goods. He has money in a company
which sells crude rubber; it was 70
the advantage of this company not to
have duty and he was instrumental
in having crude rubber on the free list
Now these results would probably have
been attained if Senator AIdrich had
taken no part in making the tariff; but
would he not have shown a slightly
honor, of public duty, if he had re-
Trained from using political influence
to bring about a result by which his
own pocketbooll would be enriched?'
IF Senator Bristow had spoken in
that tone, with care, and measure, and
made no false charges, there would
have been great force in his objection
and there could not have been the re-
action which can still be felt around
the country in that cautious class of
citizens, largely business men and law
yers. who are about ready to insurge
against business domination of politics.

selves to be, not seekers of sensation,
but men of calm and patient courage,

AUTOMOBILES PRICES.

Automobiles are not any cheaper now
adays than they used to be. Many
people have that idea. But it is not
correct. More low priced cars are on
the market. That's ALL These facts
are presented in an interesting tabula-
ton of the average automobile prices
since 1903. 1t has been prepared by
the American Automobile association
and shows that motor car prices rose
during the period between 1908 and
1907. Since the latter date the prices
have declined gradually. This decline,
according to the associations experts,
has not been brought about by any
radical reduction in the price of auto
mobiles, but by the great increase in
the manufacture and sales of machines
selling for $1,500 or less. In the early
days of the industry a car selling for
$1'5OO was rare, while now the greater
number of machines sell under that fig
ure.
According to the tabulation referred
to, the figures show that the trend in
manufacturing has been to give more
each year for the same list sum, rather
than to make cut in the selling price
Ihere mas been tremendous increase

OF long, long aisles in wind-kissed fields
where corn lifts up its spears and shields.
And singing streams
Go dancing through the sun and shade
Wherein thousand joys are made.
o base, deceitful cantaloupe!
When for a perfumed olden taste
we vainly grope,
Thou. fair, within our grasp are placed
And we are glad,
relieving we shall find renewed
The SAVIOR with all spice imbued
That once we had
When in the days that are no more
We carved thy core.
o melancholy cantaloupei
On thee, thou whdted sepulchre,
We moon and NOPE,
And sudden tears our eyelids blur
AS we reflect
Upon mushmelons-Yes. plain mush!-
OF which in boyhood's glorious rush
We could expect
The golden pulp and honeyed juice
That never gave our hopes abuse.
Hence, greenly grievous cantaloupe!
Thou fastest like unto cake
OF laundry soap!
Thou art a striped and Speckled fake,
No luscious hoard
OF toothsome luxury may hide
Upon thy bleached and wan inside.
Thou masking gourdi
what canSt thou say in thy defenSe?
