weeks Reports More Favorable
Than for some Time.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
This weeks reports regarding distribu-
tive trade are more favorable than they
have been for some time. Not only Is
there a better feeling as TO the future,
but trade in several lines has improved.
Dry goods seem TO be in the forefront
as regards new demands. thus indicating
that recent price reductions had hene-
fetal effect.
Other staple lines, such as groceries,
wool, clothing and wearing apparel in
general also share in the enlarged buying
movement. Hardware, too is in good de-
mand. Buying of furniture. heretofore
very backward. has picked up tseveral
centers. though trade in this line Is still
belo wnormal, Demand for soft coal has
improved and our export trade in flour,
and TO a larger extent in yheat makes
a satisfactory showing.
At the same time reports as regards
retail trade are irregular, this branch Of
distribution having been helped where
autumn-like temperatures preYall, while
being deferred where tn weather has
been warm.
Collections have pickeu up. especially
where crop money is entering into cir
culation.

Increases of a less sensational character
were recorded at Kansas City, st. Louis,
Omaha and Chicago. Immense stocks Of
grain in the elevators here acted a check
TO a severe advance here and brokers on
the Board Of Trade bought wheat for
about cents more a bushel than yester-
day. The Chicago market was the low

OrIoIn of Goal.

Coal is of vegetable origin. When vegetable matter accumulates under water 1t undergoes slow process of decomposition, giving off its nitrogen, hydrogen. oxygen and 1ome carbon, the result of which if carried far enough is the formation of mass of carbon. Peat, found often in swampy tracts. Is the first stage in the coal forming process, and the f1raher stages are formed by the burial of these vegetable deposits under great loads of sediment. where they become subject to pressure and sometimes to heat. This effects Q series of changes. consolidation and loss of oxygen and gives a series of products whose na- ture depends on the degree to which the original vegetable matter has been changed. The products are known as Ignite, bituminous coal and anthracite coal
