MORE CONFIDENCE
Commercial Affairs Gradually Shaping
For Good 5usiness-Trend To-
ward Improvement.

New York;. G. Dun & Co.'S week
ly Review of Trade said:
The general trend during the week
has been toward Improvement. The
railway rate finding and the prospect
of an extra session of congress have
not prevented further progress toward
the re-establishment of business conf
dence and activity.
Progress Unchecked.
Unchecked progress appears in the
iron and steel trade, with no cancella-
tions Of railroad orders resulting from
the recent decision regarding freight
rates. The leading producer is stead
ily expanding its blast furnace opera
tiOns, now having fully 65 per cent of
capacity active, and the designed re-
duction in pig iron stocks is being ac-
compliShed, although on a moderate
scale. This same interest did an ex-
ceblent export bushes last month, and
the record of new orders exceeded the
January rate, while shipmenV likewise
increased.
Cotton Goods.
Operations in the primary cotton
goods markets and in the jobbing
houses are still of very conservative
character, and short house season is
foresIhadowed by the falling off in the
attendance Of buyers. The export
shipments of cotton goods to date are
substantially ahead Of a year ago.
Shoes Below Normal.
Business in shoes continues below
normal for this season of the year, and
many factories are only partly em-
ployed. Buyers are holding off for
lower prices as a rule, although some
of them are beginning to display more
interest, and might operate quite lib,
orally on slight concessions in prices.

Spring Jobbing Opening Up.

Spring jobbing trade in dry goods
is not yet under full headway, for
which conservatism, uncertainty as to
prices and the late date of the eastern
season is probably responsible. Retail
trade for spring has not opened ac-
lively as yet. Indeed, at most centers
retailers are still busted with the dis
posal of carried-over stocks, for which
price concessions are in evidence.

Tendency to Expand.

Spring jobbing trade tends to ex-

servatism still in evidence and with
small lots buying for actual require

whole, trade is larger than in the like
period of the preceding month, but
fails TO show the Improvement expect

WASHINGTON STILL
WATTS ON EUROPE

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 2.-The
state department has decided to await
the action of European nations more
directly interested in the war between
Italy and Turkey before issuing neu-
rality proclamation. The document
mas been prepared but restraining
factor Is found in the peculiar atti-
tude of the Turkish government. It
beng understood that the porte has
decided not to offer any resistance
to .he Italian campaign against Trip
oil, the department is not sure that
state of war actually exists.
The officials are in no hurry to is-
sue this proclamation for a neutrality
proclamation does not affect the in
ternntional status of belligerents in
any way as there is no direct COM
munication between the United States
and Tripoli. 1t is intended solely as
warning and a protection for mer-
chants and shipmasters. France. on
Sept. 30, issued the usual proclama-
ton announcing its intention to main
tam strict neutrality. No action has
been taken on suggestions that the
United States offer mediation between
turkey and Italy under article III
oil The Hague treaty. 1t was felt that
some European power or a concert Of
powers should make this move and
1t is thought that Germany is actually
taking soundings with the end of
view The Italian charge d'affaires
mere is expected to communicate to
the state department the text of the
expose de motif, setting forth Italy's
side OF the war.-Pueblo Chieftain.

1t was Just then that Britt made his
second mistake. He breathed toe
deeply. True, he was blown, sadly by
the desperate struggle as he hang

lungs had almost stopped working
when he was jerked so violently back
into the carriage The air near the

Britz breathed was mixed with sub
tie something that gradually stole his
senses and left him, though heaIthily
alive, an inert heap under the feet OF

Britz needed no effort 10 rise to tell
him he still was hound hand and foot,
and in the first instant of his fun
awakening he realized the silken gag

he ball OF silk savagely, and strained
his tongue until the roots ached in en-
deavors to force the gag out OF his
mouth. AS well might he, helpless as
TO hands and feet as he was, have
tried to shake off gorilla's grip at

MERGER OF SHATTUCK

RepOr' of Alleged Action il Duluth Called Absurd by

The announcement in Teceut issue of the Boston News Bureau that Duluth stockholders of the Shattuck and Denn properties would meet in that city May 10 to merge the two companies came as a sort of mild surprise to the directors Of the Shattuck here. They did not know anything about such plans, and would naturally be among tlIe first to be informed of such a proposi. ton.
 From a reliable source the Review learns that a merger of the prop critics is hardly possible at thfv time. There are many reasons, known to those on the Inside, why the merger cannot go through, and hardly any conditions favoring it,I under the present situation.
