TRACE IS STILL
RATHER IRREGULAR

Bradstreet's, August 5:-There is
still considerable irregularty in trade
conditions, due to cautiousness and
/ fears of crop damage, but basic conti-
tons and the advance Of the year tent
to work for a little further improve
ment. While merchants continue to
feel their way, sentiment as to fan
trade is improving slightly, and at
some Of the larger centers jobbers and
wholesale dealers have done a rather
better business with outside mer-
chants, who are beginning to come to
market This refers, of course, to
buying for future delivery, for, as a
matter of fact, current trade still re-
fleets the influence of midsummer con-
ditiOns. Southern, and to a less eX-
tent southwestern, merchants, whose
feelings are buoyed by prospects of a
record cotton crop, are more disposed
tC place orders for future use, and as
a result dry goods, clothing and shoes
ARE in a little better demand. In sec
tons where cereal crops are the main
stays, conservatism reigns, partly be-
cause of too much rain close to spring
wheat harvest time, loor oats crop

ditions. Even in the South, the Caro-

HAWAII WENT IN
The RIGHT TIME

Hawaii struck the bond market in
the nick of time, when the banks had
hard work disposing of their surplus
funds. Bradstreet's of August 5 says:
'It has been a subject of remark for
several months past that while the
stock market remained in decidedly
unsatisfactory condition as regards
both prices and activity, bonds were
relatively strong, with a well-defined
upward tendency Wall street, how
ever, has begun to question whether
this state of affairs in connection with
bonds is likely to continue 1t is rec
ogniZed in that quarter that both the
ready absorption of new bond issues
and the persistent buying of the more
seasoned securities of that class were
in a large degree due to the position
of the money markets, in which there
has existed a supertiuity of funds ana
restricted borrowing demand, Great
ing a low range of interest rates. In
laCJ, Lne DOuu market mas Deen uSlpSu
materially by the inability of many
banks to find employment for theil
funds in the form of discounts or
loans, so that the purchase of bonds
having a ready market furnished the
easiest method of earning interest
uLon their otherwise idle deposits
With the appearance of renewed de-
mands for money from the business
community, such as has developed
within the past fortnight, it would be
natural to expect that the banks which
have made temporary investments in
! bonds will begin to dispose of them
Such a movement is hardly likely tc
assume a form calculated to create
much of a depression in bond prices
but it would check further tendency
toward appreciation in the values o.
such securities"

Mayburg Wins Two Good Ball Games
From BrOOkyille and Clarion.

Mayburg has "the goods" when it
comes to base ball team and last Friday
the team defeated the fast Brookville
team at the latter place by the score of
to 8. Truman aud Collins did the pitch
ing for Mayburg. We are not informed
as to the details of the game.
Saturday the Msyburg bunch moved
over to Clarion, where f. X. Brown had
the pleasure of seeing his team win again
by the score of s to 7. The Clarion cor
respondent of the Franklin News gives
the following account of the game: "The
game was not as good as was expected
and some ragged ball was pulled off by
both teams. In Clarion's half of the Sec
ond inning they scored seven runs, most
ly by loose work ON account of the May
burg bunch, as they all seemed to go up
in the air at once, our boys also indulg-
ing in some heavy hitting in this inning.
Clarion was unable to score after this in
ming and the score stood 20 up until the
sixth, when Mayburg finally got one run
over. In the seventh Edmonson, for
Msyburg, got a hit and was able to score
by some daring base-running. The
merry-go.'r began then and after it
was over Mayburg had pushed five runs
over the plate and annexed two more in
the eighth, which was enough to win, as
Clarion could do nothing after the seven
they piled up in the second. A peculiar
feature of the game was that in total of
twenty-five hits on both sides none went
for more than one base. Siverling and
B. Gordon were the batting stars for
Clarion, while Crossmun, at short for
Mayburg, played a fine game and carried
off the hitting honors for that side. Best,
for Clarion, pitched nice game but was
poorly supported at times and Mayburg
punched their hits, and were able to run
the bases freely. A large crowd witnessed
the game and they were not slow with
applause for either side when good play
mas made. Wilhelm and White we're the
umplresu The score:

MANY people have doubtless been
puzzled about the origin of word "bun-
combe" as indicating political clap-trap.
Bro Smith of the Punxsutawney Spirit
has hunted the matter up and tells how 1t
happened, and. he is backed up in his
opinion by Noah Webster, who wrote the
dictionary: Felix Walker, representa-
tive in Congress from North Carolina,
was from Ashvllle, Buncombe County.
He was making speech one day when
most Of the members, regarding II as tire
some, faded away into the CLOAK rooms
Observing this, Mr.. Walker said to those
who remained: "You may also retire, If
you like, as l am only talking for Bum
combe."
