LAURIER SPEAKS
 ON RECIPROCITY

Toronto, September s. Premier Laurier received an enthusiastic greet ing here this afternoon. His speech dealt with both reciprocity and annexa- tion.
 There was once a time. declared Sir Wilfrd, when it was part of the edu- cation of every American that Canada would some time become a part of the United States. But now, he said, most
 Americans. including President Taft,
 believe they have enough to do at home without taking on their shoulders the
 responsibility for growing country of
 9, ,O0O, ,O00 people. Annexation, said the
 premier could become possible only by
 consent of the people, and he felt sure
 there would always he majority to
 prevent it. In the course of his speech
 the premier said he was surprised that
 the oppositionsshould take such stand against reciprocity, but when l saw
 the line they took he remarked, amid laughter. "I said. the Lord is good to
 His own and, like Oliver Cromwell, he has delivered Them into my hands,

Bradstreet's Review

New York, September S.-Bradstreet S tomorrow will say:
 Three factors helped to expand trade in moderate way this week-fall fes- tivals, tho advance of the season and the ending of the vacation period On the whole, recent developments are relatively more favorable, but conserva- tism in buying Is everywhere visible, and final surveyors of goods display no particular tendency to forsake the policy heretofore pursued. that is, to buy frequently and in small lots rather than liberally at any enc time.
 This attitude is superinduced in a large degree by the inability of retail distributors of wearing apparel, fur nishings and the like, to measure the probable effects on their sales of as- cending prices for edible commodities and the idleness visible in many indus trial lines.
 In industrial circles the drift has been in more favorable direction, owing chiefly to diminished fears of immediate strikes of railway shopmen of some New England textile mills, but as regards the latter movement it must be said that there Is considerable room for further improvement before any thing like marked activity can be pro claimed in the cotton goods line. In iron and steel the long expected fall buying of finished material has not ap- peared as yet, while prices still favor buyers and pig iron continues quiet, though stocks at some points have been reduced by shipments, this notwith- standing production in August expand ed The railways are doing more in consonance with the season and there are fewer idle cars than at any time since last September. Collections range from about slow to fair. Business fail ures in the United States on September were 194 against 164 last week 173 in the like week of 1910, against 190 in 1909. 191 in 1908 and 172 in 1907.
 Business failures in Canada for the week number 22, which contrasts with 80 for last week and IS in the cor responding week of 1910.
 Wheat, including flour exports, OK ports from the United States and Can ada for the week ending September [, aggregate 2,S32.243 bushels against 3, 073, 75A last week and 1,511,06S this week last year, For the ten weeks ending September ' exports are 25,S57,. TIT bushels against 13,776,641 in the corresponding period last year. Corr exports for the week are 211,259 bushels against 139,773 last week and 276,45: in 1910. For the ten weeks ending Sep. tember [ corn exports are 4,6S6,72: bushels against 2,558,S57 last year.

IMPROVEMENT IN GENERAL BUSINESS Dun and Bradstreet Make Weekly Report PIG IRON IS ACTIVE Fall Festivals, Advance of the Sea- son and Ending of Vacation
 Period Are Given as
 General Causes

New York September s,-R. c. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say
 Steady improvement in business con ditlons is indicated by most reports coming from industries and from trade centers, The enlarged operations in pig iron are indicated by returns covering the production during August, which rose 1S3,569 tons. Most of last month s expansion was due to the increased turnover of the leading interests whose bookings and shipments in that pegiod were heavier than In any preceding month this year In the finished lines the existing price situation induces consumers generally to confine pur- chases to actual needs. Competition for new business has become exceed ingly keen. The wire trade reflects re- duced activity, but in the structural division many mills have enough work to keep them fully occupied for sev- eral months.
 An improved demand for dry goods is noted both in the primary markets and by iobbing houses. Retailers purchase steadily for current needs, especially Of novelties, specialties and of goods re- quired for fall distribution, but there | is little activity for future delivery. Export trade Is improved, Prints sent abroad during August were In large | amounts. Printers are finding trade better, drills and sheetings are firm and colored cottons in moderate de- mand Ginghams, however, are quiet and bleached cottons are being ordered I from hand to mouth. Woo1en and worsted mills report better inquiry and stock goods are being called for stead fly. Fall underwear is selling more freely Taken altogether the market shows tendency to broaden in mod crate way.
 Trade in footwear shows further im- provement but buyers still display con- servatsm and purchase only such quan-
 titles as readily can be moved Trade in leather continued to improve slowly, and prices are somewhat firmed Up- per leather is firm, although some con
 sessions are reported in combination
 damages of calf skins. Further activ- | ity has developed in packer hides and advances ranging from Ac to 1sc have
 been secured. Common varieties of
 Latin American dry hides are 1sc per pound lower.
