OUTLOOK IS BETTER

proves.

New York.-R. g. Dun & Co.'s week.
ly review of trade says:
Crop news continues firm. The iron
and steel market improves, while for
eign trade movement shows an excess
of exports, and in these important par
ticulars the business outlook is dis
tinctly better.
There is further improvement in
iron, with increased inquiry at the
leading producing centers. More OF,
ders have been placed for pig iron and
the tonnage already booked for deliV.
cry during the second half of the year
is heavy. Existing quotations are con-
sidered very low and in consequence
there is less disposition on the part
Of consumers to defer purchases in
expectation of concessions. A large
amount of business is announced as
having been placed by the railroads
and other important interests, which
strengthens the steel market division.
Open hearth material is in good de-
mand, with billets quoted at S29, Pitts
burg, but Bessemer is rather weak at
about $3.50.
The primary 6ry goods markets still
reflect light trading, but agents hand
ling cotton goods lines are holding
prices generally firm. Jobbers in
western markets have been shading
prices at clearance sales to reduce
stocks preliminary to stock-taking,
while announcement is made by a
large eastern house that the usual
semi-annual clearance sales will be
omitted on the ground that costs of
replacement are above current values.
Staple printed goods are selling in
small lots, but western advices state
that business promises to be better
next month and there is more inquiry
for denims and colored goods. Mis-
cellaneous export trade in cotton
goods holds up well. Mems woolens
rule quiet, but little better business
is noted in some parts of the dress
goods markets, warmer weather stim-
ulating interest in seasonable mer-
chandise. The feature from the pro-
ducer's standpoint is the substantial
increase in curtailment.
New orders for fall footwear con.
tinue small and the situation is gen.
orally unsatisfactory. Trade in leath,
er continues dull and prices on most
descriptions are weak.

SLIGHTLY Confused,

Marie was making her first visit to
the beach. She was fearless Of the
water, and spent as much of her time
in bathing as she was allowed. One
morning there was an unusually
strong undertow, and many of the
bathers spoke of It, Marie, hearing
them, slowed away the new phrase
in her mind.
When she came in from her bath,
she told how fine the water was, and
told of the fun she had had. Then,
assuming her grown-up manner, she
remarked: "Oh, but the undertaken

Washington.-Fully four and a half
out of every five pounds of coffee
drunk in the United States comes from
Brazil, and the proportion is growing
steadily higher, principally because
the Brazilian bean is of superior
quality and flavor. The generality
of coffee drinkers have a hazy idea
that Mocha" and Java" enter largely
into the morning beverage, but it is a
fact that all the Mocha and Java that
reach this country in year would not
supply st. Louis for six months.
1t is generally known and under
stood that the greater proportion of
fine Brazilian coffee comes from the
state of Sac Paulo in that country, and
the statement that Sac Paulo, the
richest state in the Brazilian Union,
is "one vast coffee estate" has been
made so frequently that the general
impression has gone abroad that little
else but coffee is produced in the
state. 1t is true that Sac Paulo alone,
last year, produced 1,716,0O0, 900
pounds of coffee that had value of
$140,000,000, and that this vast ag-
gregate found its way outward
through the greatest coffee port in the
world, Santos; but it is also true that
Sac Paulo has host of other indus
tries that are developing at a rate
that is astonishing. 1t is in Sac Paulo
that the great wheat growing conces-
sions have been granted; it is from

ABOUT HORSES
WILD WEST AND FAR EAST

In these days of the automobile it
is interesting to pause to consider
the story of the horse, that noble
animal which has been characterized
as mans best friend" His impor-
tant position among the nations of
the earth has been demonstrated
and this fact is best made known in
Buffalo Bills Wild West and Pawnee
Bills Far East, where he cuts a
most essential figure. The rough
rider contingent comprises eques-
trian experts from all nations, ar
rayed in native costumes and per-
forming horseback feats according
to their individual methods as EN-.
ployed in their own countries. To
witness all these horsemen on their
native heath one would be COM
PEELED to travel the world over, for
there are Cossacks from Russia,
Cavalrymen from Japan, Guachos
from South America, BedOuin Arabs,
Royal English Dragons, Irish Lam
GERS, German Cuirassiers, Mexican
Vaqueros and our own native IN
dians, cowboys and Western girls.
Each of the nationalities have sad
die methods of their own. They
range from the reckless daring of
the Cossack to the stately grace of
the English cavalryman. The Cos
sack is the most reckless of all rid
ers. What seems almost a circus
performance is, to him, merely a
drill The wild-lOoking fellows
stand up in their stirrups, stand on
their saddles, stand on their Shout
ders, stand on their heads-theIr
horses galloping madly the while
and whirl their swords until they
look Ike buzz saws. Contrasted
with this exhibition the military
bearing of the German, English and
American cavalryman may seem
tame. but it all adds to the compo.
site picture of horsemanship, which
has as it's chief exponent that knight
of the saddle. Buffalo Bill, who
twice daily, rain or shine, leads his
cavalcades through the most re-
markable performance ever present
ed in public.

WILTON LACKAYE
IN 1.-THE BATTLE

When Cleveland Moffett intro
duced "the survival of the fittest" as
one of the main notes Of his "The
Battle" the play in which Wilton
Lackaye is due at the Grand Opera
House, Saturday night September
"a, he also struck a plaintive minor
chord with TITS hard to prove that
to those who do not fit" Undoubt-
edlv one OF the principal factors in
making "The Battle" one of the
most successful plays of the past few
years, was the novelty of the au-
thor's attitude on the ever engross-
ing subjects of business achieve
ment. but the human appeal of the
characters who struggle onward un-
aided by financial genius such as
Haggle toms. 1t is on the appeal ot
the play as a drama, rather than on
the fact that it interested John d..
Rockefeller sufficiently to cause him
to contribute to its dialogue or that
it caused a remarkable commotion
among the socialists of New York,
that Messrs. Liebler and company
rely in their hope that the play may
duplicate locally its New York sue
cess. To this end an excellent pro-
ductiOn has been made, and a COM
pany of very capable players en-
% oed in MI Lackaye's support.
The latter has made the part Of
John J. Haggleton one of the most
striking in a gallery that includes
Svengah, DR.. Belgraff, Reb Shemuel
and many others.
