New York. Sept. 15.-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say:
general trade in fall and winter wearing
apparel. staple cotton and WOODEN goods,
shoes. hardware and groceries shows a
further slight expansion. Buying is con-
sentative. and business as 4 whole lacks
snap. but certain lines of trade show q
siren gthening of demand which augurs
fairly we'll for the future. Jobbins trade
and commercial business for spring in cot
ton goods has been improved by price
revisions of fancy cotton goods. made
possible by the lower range of raw COTTON
prices. There is even said to be a mod
crate Improvement in export trade in cot
tons, and the yarn markets show more
confident buying. The free marketing OF
cotton at the South has helped trade to
some extent in that section. Collections
are varied. but rule about fair.
In the industries reports are Irregular.
The number Of idle spindles and Idle cars
is smaller than some time ago, but pro-
duction is still below capacity. Iron and
steel demand varies. The railroads are
| reported buying cars but not buying rails.
Prices of finished lines OF steel are being
shaded to get business. Building returns

BAT NELSON TO FIGHT

at Fond du Lac.

Eddie Santry of Chicago. famous in
fight circles years ago, and Battling
Nelson are going to fight. The two
has beens," who have long since passed
befond the stage of ring usefulness,
were matched yesterday to meet before
the Fond du Lac, Wis, Athletic club on
the night of May 8. The two are ap-
parently dwelling under the delusion
of the come back theory, for Santry
has not been in q fight for several
years, while the doings of Nelson since
Wolgast whipped him so decisively
need no comment.
The bout has been scheduled for six
rounds, 1873 pounds ringside, and is the
result OF a long standing grudge be-
tween the men. Santry claims to have
knocked the Batter out in q Eymnasi-
UNI bout and thinks he has it on the
old-time champion in a short bout.
Nelson met Santry here in Chicago back
in 1904 and is reputed to have had the
better of the argument. Just what
they are able to do at this late date.
however, is big question.
