TRADE CONDITIONS
 ARE VERY ACTIVE
COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATION DE- CLARE BUYING IS BRISK AND
 MARKETS LIVELY.


 New York, Sept. s.-Bradstreet's will say tomorrow:
 Trade has lost none of it's vim and activity, though it is modified in de gree in some parts of the southwest, where excessive heat has prevailed while being actuated throughout the west and northwest.
 Everywhere buying is predicted on the uniformly good influences that record or close to record crops will generate, and financiers, merchants aE captains of industry are exceed ingly optimistic.
 Jobbers, rather than first hands, are occupying the center of the stage, but manufacturers are experiencing espe- cial activity in turning out orders pre- viously booked. However. the prom inent features at the moment are the active demands made on jobbers for goods intended for near future sales.
 House trade, especially in dry goods and kindred lines, has been espe- cially good. while road sales are of larger proportions. Mail orders for sorts have appeared in rather liberal volume and incidentally more or less spring business in dry goods has deyei- oped but, on the whole, orders for distant delivery are not noteworthy.
 One of the best evidences of expect ed demand is furnished by the urgent calls of interior merchants for prompt shipments and in order to satisfy these requests, packing rooms are working to full capacity.
 Activity is not confined to any one particular line or, locality, but is more conspicuous in the northwest, where sales are of record volume and even the south is joining in the general movement.
 R. G. Dun's weekly review of trade will say:
 Record breaking crops and record breaking productions of iron, steel, copper and other products have ere ated a conviction that the advance toward complete restoration of indus trial and mercantile prosperity is sure and permanent. The principal obstacle of that advance are shortages in money, year labor and in the facilities.
 New orders in iron and steel are in excess of output. The latest state ment of the leading interests showed gain of over 205,000 tons in unified contracts, which shows that heavy bookings are being made for nexs year Further price advances have been announced on several products, while Bessemer pig iron is at the high est point of the year.
 There is a growing scarcity of crude steel material and odd lots are com manding 3 premium. In finished lines foreign business is a feature. The general situation in the dry goods market shows further improvement, cotton goods holding steady, an ad- justment of labor troubles being ef- fected and current demand for woolens and ~worsteds being well maintained In cottons there is notable lack of surplus goods in first hands and job bers doing an increasing business are asking for prompt delivery of orders Export trade is, asasonably quiet, but the situation is above that of a year ago.

RESULT Of FIGHTING
 IS STILL IN DOUBT
FL TlGRE MAY HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY REBELS, WHO HAD THE
 PLACE UNDER ATTACK.

Douglas, ATiz., Sept. 13.-The plight of El Tigre, on which q long range attack was begun by rebels under Sal agar early today. the mystery sur rounding the whereabouts of Rojas' band of rebels who failed to attack Agua Prieta this morning, and the in- activity of the 200 Mexican federal soldiers under General Sanjines, in the border town, were the chief topic of conversation and conferences today and tonight by United States officers on the American side of the line.
 Nothing has been heard of the fighting at Fl Tigre since the report that~rebels had attacked. Officials of the Fl Tigre Mining Company here and American Consul Dye are said to have made repeated requests of Gen eral Sanjines to send troops to Fl Tigre to protect American lives and property.
 He replied that he would send a force south for that purpose but set no time for its departure. The te.e- phone wires were cut about noon to- day after word was received that 1S0 federals had left Yzabel for El Tigre, 35 miles distant.
 Rojas was reported at Gallardo ranch, 12 miles from Agua Prieta, to- day. Much indignation was expected today by Americans with heavy inter- ests in Sonora because of the inac- ton of federals.
 Reports from many points in So- nora indicate rebel bands are footing regardless of nearby federal troops. Word was brought here today that Edward Haymcre, one of the princi- pal merchants in Sonora, has disap- peared while bringing merchandise from his store at Colonia, Morelos. Haymore was robbed of merchandise valued at $2.50o several days ago. 1 General w. s. Schuyler, command ling the department of California, said today that Rojas had informed him

TROOPS WITHDRAW;
 WASHINGTON HAPPY
STRICT ORDERS HAD BEEN GIVEN THAT MIGHT HAVE OPENED
 POSSIBILITIES.

Washington, Sept. 13.-There was a distinct air of relief in the war de- partment today when General Schuyler reported from Douglas, Ariz., the with drawal southward of the Mexican rebel bands which had been threatening Agua Prieta, across the border from Douglas.
 The retreat is believed to be largely due to the uncompromising attitude of the American patrol.
 Orders to prevent fighting at Agua Prieta, If fire were directed toward Douglas, would have been carried out to the letter, according to the general staff, even if that involved the send ing of American troops across the in- ternational boundary.
 While the situation on the border has now been improved. reports con tinue to arrive of revolutionary out breaks in other sections of Mexico. Zapatistas are said to be threatening the town of Antigua, on the coast north of Vera Cruz
 Uprisings are momentarily expected in the states of Coahuila and Neuvo Leo1l, according to advices to the state department. The rebels plans in that quarter are said to include the cap ture of Monterey and Saltillo, and the destruction of San Pedro, the home of President Madero.
 The Mexican government is said to be hurrying endorsements to Fl Tigre, Sonora, where is situated one of the richest mines in Mexico, op- erated by American capital. An at tack by the rebels there is said to be imminent.
