Preparations for Big Event at Omaha
Speedway Promise a Great
Exhibition.

Fifteen automobiles have been entered up
to date In the race which is TO take place
at the Omaha Motor speedway Saturday
and Sunday, october and 2. Manager
Kirkland announced Saturday that the car
service has been perfected so that the spec
tators will be transported within three
minute walk OF the speedway.
II is declared the forthcoming race meet,
which is the second TO be carried out on
the local speedway, will be vastly better
conducted. by reason Of the longer prepara-
ton, than was the first meet recently.
Among the arrangements made are those
for a series OF flag slgnalmen to be sta
toned around the course to warn trailing
racers of possible accidents ahead, and for
a squad of special policemen on the grounds
to give protection to the crowds. Several
rough spots which. owing to the haste
In which the track was finished up for the
fist meet, we're left on its surafce, have
been smoothed away and the speedway
now is declared to be perfect.
Among the cars which have been entered
thus far are an Oakland, Kissel Kar. inter

NEW YORK. Sept. ar G. Dun &

will say:
With crops aggregating large I'm quantity
and value in spite OF the reduced yield or
spring wheat, with politics becoming 50
intense and uncertain to make enter

the business outlook is mixed, trade re-

directions, while at the same time there
are streaks of progress and activity. II Is

TO encourage speculative enterprise until
conditions, now doubtful or unsettled, be-
come more clearly defined.
Interest in iron and steel has centered
chiefly in predictions Of an early general
reduction Of prices on finished steel prod
ucts, which have been freely discussed and
the effect has been disquieting, notw1th-
standing denials from well-informed
sources. New business has diminished, but
aside from railroad material good pro
duction continues in finished lines. The
wire trade reflects considerable activity,
but demand for raiss rs not brisk in the
Pittsburg district.
In the dry goods markets the improve
unued and a few mills are running tull
and overtime. In wooden and worsteds the
demand as a whole Is better, yet orders
are so small and irregular that mills are
not able to resume operations in a large
way. Cottons are generally in moderate
demand
Footwear conditions snow a slight inn
provement but the actual volume of trade
continues moderate.

BRADsTREET's BUSINESS REVIEW
Trade and industrial Reports Are

NEW YORK Sept. A-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Trade and Industrial reports are still ir-
regular and general character cation Is
difficult. Fair activity in some lines and
at some centers is indicated but repression
and conservation are widely In evidence
and reflected in small but frequent rather
than large or confident buying. One really
favorable underlying feature. PERHAPS not
thoroughly appreciated at present is the
apparent absence of arge stocks Of goods in
primary or secondary hands, borne an
parently of uncertainty as to future prices
and the growth of the belief that far dis
tant buying is not either advisable or naces-
sary. This, with the on-the- whole favor
able crop outlook, will make easier the re-
sumption of full activity IL other disturbing
causes are removed.
Reports from leading industries are NJ
repression in operation. Basic pig iron is
weaker and there are reports of willingness
10 sell further ahead. Some finished lines
show a slightly larger volume of business
booked but railway buying is still con-
spicuous by It's comparative absence. In
the eastern leather trades some sole leather
tanners are operating much below capacjt
and eastern shoe manufacturers report CON
servation marked in buying. At the west
some centers report shoe factories running
to capacity. In textile lines curtaiIment is
still in evidence. Staple lines meet with
