BUSINESS UP TO AVERAGE.
Due to Become More Settled and De-
pendable, Says Bank Bulletin.

Duo 10 6cC0fUc mOFc 0CtttCu aU0 bC-
pendabie, Says Bank Bulletin.
The general letter on trade condi-
tons for September. Issued by the
National Bank of Commerce, says: !
THE actual condition OF the coun-
try's business Is easily described, but
not so easily understood. The hest
tation which we have been witness
ing has been the result of many
causes, the most recent one being an
inclination to wait upon the moves OF
congress, particularly In tariff mat
ters. Even the sages have been I'M
able to predict what congress might
do and business men have thought 1t
better TO await an adjournment before
making new and definite plans. As
congress will convene within three
months from now. there may still be
some hesitancy on the part of wool
and cotton interests. Steel interests
are SO strongly organized that tariff
changes or government Investigations
business and the present condition Of
the steel trade is quite satisfactory.
Business should gradually become
more settled and dependable and the
next three months should witness an
activity fully up TO the average. but
probably not equal to last year. In
making comparisons II must be re-
membered that nearly all trade rec
ords were exceeded in either 1909 or
1910. We cannot expect to make such
a tremendous Improvement each sue
ceeding year. Conditions are stable
and the unrest is largely on the sur
face. General business can improve,
even though the stock market remain
somewhat dull"

Peaeh CROP comes EarIy.

Peaches continue to arrive in De-

used to canning peaches in the mid
