Section 78 of the same Act de-

tho bringing OF an action against
the delinquent Collector for his re

The present Tax Collector has
not in all instances complied with
the requirements Of the above re-

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
fore, Crop Developments Favorable, and
Industrial Operations SwiHer.

New York. Aug. 3o.-Dun's review to-
morrow viii say:
"Advices from leading cities, both
East and West. with scarcely an excep-
ton. speak OF a bigger volume of trade,
larger advance orders. better employ
ment OF labor. and growing confidence
that the now practically assured crops
make the future secure. In every part
OF the country business optimism is the
dule, and all other considerations are
practically ignored in the light of the
conviction that a period Of national
prosperity has set in, which only some
great and improbable. calamity could
stop. The advance in the Bank of Eng
land rate of discount to per cent Is
an international expression of more ur-
gent demand for money, as result In
large part of the increased movement
of products to the great markets; and
higher money, which is the result OF
business activity Is not a sign of weak
ness.
During three weeks in August rail-
road gross earnings gained 81 per cent:
the margin of idle cars declined, and the
problem of transporting the traffic of the
country becomes daily more important.
The wheat crop is not only large, but
there is every prospect of an urgent de-
nestle and foreign demand Weather
conditions continue favorable to both
corn and cotton. Until the price of raw
cotton becomes more settled. the cotton
goods trade will be more or less dis
turbed by the uncertainty. The shoe
trade steadily improves. Hides and
leather continue strong and active. In
the iron and steel industry the activity
in all branches is not only maintained.
but II continues to express an UP to
normal capacity.

rich-quick' game 1t was out of their
ken. somehow. Once or twice, when
banking houses that in the past had en-
joyed a certain amount of respectability
fell from grace and allowed themselves
to be inyeigled into operation of very
doubtful sort there was a stirring of
consciences down Wall Street way and
tentative steps were taken some years
ago looking for the formation of a sort
Of vigilance committee that would nip
these movements In the bud. Nothing.
however, was done Of a tangible sort
until very recently.
Now. apparently fully aroused to the
Importance of the great public move
ment to wipe out this nefarious traffic.
the investment bankers of the United
States have laid aside the trivial matters
and reasons that restrained them from
taking an early and a leading part in
this movement and have banded them
selves together in an association which
announces as its policy that 1t will form
bureau to investigate every prospec-
tive iotation and attest or refuse to at
test its honesty. In other words. the
investment bankers have themselves, ap-
parenty. determined to become a Wig
ilance committee for the good of the
cause.
II all these forces-an awakened pub

Gus group of State officials administer

hope that within a very few years the
'get-rich-quick" parasite will find his
calling almost IL not quite as dangerous
as that OF his close relatives. the
burglar and the second-story man. We
cannot expect the millennium, but at

SHORTS COVER;
MARKET FIRM
Most Standard Industrial and Rail-
road Issues Close with Frac-
tional Net Gains.
CORNER TURNED BY RAILROADS

New York, Aug. 3o.-Covering of con-
tracts by shorts, who did not care to
remain on the bear side of the market
over. the triple holiday impaired firm
ness to the general list to-day and closed
most standard industrial and railroad is
sues with fractional net gains. Trading
was extremely quiet, owing to an un-
willingness on the part of SPECTATORS TO
enter into new commitments over the
holiday. Orders executed by commits
sion houses were the smallest in many
weeks. and the total volume of shares
that changed hands on the exchange was
also the lightest for any session for
several months.
There is no doubt now but what the
railroads as group have turned the
corner. Reports submitted to-day by
three of the largest systems in this
country showed large increases in gross
and net. For July the Union Pacific
announced an expansion in gross and net
of s49o, 235 and S3i7, ,232, respectively.
Southern Pacific reported a gain in gross
earnings of SS9O,5N and an increase in
net earnings of S4S.9l4 Northern Pa
cific issued statements showing a rise
in gross earnings of s5l7.5l5, Of which
Sl47.167 was retained as net.
These favorable reports caused the
railroad issues to show more strength
than the industrials, although gains were
confined to about half a point.
Practically no attention was paid to
the rise of one-fourth of l per cent in
the call money rate. This advance was
undoubtedly due to the preparations be-
ing made by banks Tor the distribution
on Tuesday of about sll2. 100000 in divi-
dends and interest by railroad. public
service, and industrial corporations.
Enlargement of general business con-
tinues to draw upon banks for addition
al funds, and this was mirrored in
higher rates for time money, of the
funds for four months rising one-fourth
of / per cent, while those for five and
six months were slightly firmer.
With the exception OF the produce ex-
change, all stock and commodity eX-
changes in this city will be closed to-
and Monday.
