New York. Aug. lS.-Dun's review to-
morrow will say:
The industrial and trade situation
and a further advance in activity IS
noted in the reports from the leading
centers. The remarkably favorable crop
outlook at the middle of August. when
every day makes the risk of deteriora-
ton or damage more remote, is the
basis of the most optimistic sentiment
that has existed in six years.
The iron and steel trade. in all its
important departments. continues to ex-
pand, with further increases in untitled
business. The railroads. with gross rev.
enues in the FIRST week OF August 81
per cent larger than last year. are ac-
lively preparing for a big fall business
The number of idle cars has diminished
and the carrying of the increased busi-
ness OF the country is already becoming
a serious problem.
The dry goods trade in every branch.
both cottons and woolens wholesale and
retail, shows sustained activity. which
is all the more remarkable because this
is the midsummer season and because
high prices still produce complications.
The clothing trade is excellent. Leather
and hides are very strong. In spite OF
the high prices of raw material, the
shoe trade commands an active con-
sumption.
Copper production is at a high point.
the July output of refined breaking all
previous records. The big break in the
market for raw cotton is one of the de-
velopments OF the situation. because il
is brought about by the favorable crop
news. which increases the prospect of a
large yield. The wheat and corn situa-
ton is also auspicious. New building
operations are heavy. Bank clearings
this week outside of New York increased
So per cent over 1911 and 1873 per cent
over 1910

LONGED FOR CITY.
Ferry Man Inspired by Mai.
SyIyester's Success in Life.

Sylyester's Success In Lie.
Clarence o. Wachter lived on the
mountain peaks at Bolivar Heights.
Sylvester is his neighbor there during
the week-ends through the summer.
Clarence o. Wachter watched often for
the figure of his neighbor. the superin-
tendent of Metropolitan police, return
ing to his wild retreat from the cares
of the week. Wachter became dissatis-
fled with the bracing air, and innocent
charm of his mountain fastness, and
longed for the fascinations of the city.
He felt life called to him to join the
police force; that he. like his Illus
trious neighbor, might one day become
head of a great police department; live
during the summer in bis mountains
and have simple folk for neighbors.
At last the determination seized
Wachter to follow his neghbor to the
city and discuss with him the project
of becoming a trusted member of the
force. He bid farewell to each we'll
known hill and valley. and boarded the
train at Harpers Ferry. Here ends all
trace of Wachter, the incipient detect
i've He has lost himself to the world
and though his prospective mates are
hunting for him, they have reached the
mere conclusion that he reached the
city. Now, when the major returns at
night, no neighbor watches for his COM
ing. His mountains know Wachter no
more. nor has the local department been
able to locate its new recruit.
