The Washington herald., 1913-08-30

New York, Aug. 2s.-Bradstreet's to.
morrow will say:
in some respects trade reports sug-
gest somewhat more irregularity. West
ern advices indicate conservative buying,
presumably a reflex OF reports of reduced
crop yields. but at the same time they
proclaim that trade Is equal to or in
excess of that done at this time last year.
when operations certainly were growing.
"On the other hand. the more important
Eastern markets, particularly those hav-
ing to do with textiles, display more vim,
house trade has enlarged, and while
calico printers cut prices early In the
week, staple cotton goods especially
print cloths. are higher.
THE mills, instead Of making conces-
sions, are insisting upon higher prices,
and buyers who were disposed to hold of
have been compelled to operate.
In the iron and steel markets lower
prices for some finished steel are accom-
panied by reports OF large buying of pig
irons. principally steelmaking irons, 70
which the East. as well as the Central
West has contributed. Consequently
prices for pig iron are frmer
Crop reports denote irregularity,
Spring wheat estimates are being in
creased, the situation in this respect be-
ing concededly better. and at the same
time damage to the corn crop has been
checked, tidings from the northern part
of the belt being favorable, but 1t cannot
be denied that the Southwest has suffered
materially.
Business failures for the week ended
August s were 269. which compares with
2lS last week and rs a year ago"

TO PUT PLAY
UNDER DISTRICT rule
Superintendent of Fairgrounds Sug-
gest that Department of Recrea-
ton Be Established.
URGES COMMISSION OF THREE

In furtherance Of his suggestion to the
former Board of Commissioners that a
department of recreation be created for
the District, E. s. Martin, Superinten-
dent of Fairgrounds, has recommended
to the present Board that a commission
of three, consisting of one representative
each of the Playground Department, the
Office of Buildings and Grounds, and the
Board OF Education, be appointed TO
make survey of the recreation facili-
ties of Washington, with a view TO for
mulating a plan for the establishment
of the proposed department and the
drafting of legislation for carrying the
plan into effect. This recommended ton
has been submitted TO the Commission
ers with the estimates of the office of
Fairgrounds for the coming year.
Supt Martin further suggests that the
proposed commission proceed to the i'm
mediate formulation OF plans for the
cooperation of the District Department
OF Fairgrounds, at the head of the out
door recreation work of the public
schools, and of the recreation activities
of the Federal Park Department. In
this way, he suggests, an actual test,
without further legislation, can be made
OF lue duNlsaDlllIy OF supervising all
recreation activities of the District from
one office.
Commissioner Newman has evinced
much interest in the proposal to estab-
lish a department Of recreation, and has
indicated that the Board is desirous of
making an investigation into the advan-
tages of the plan.
Mr.. Martins plan. as submitted In his
annual report tor 1872, called for the
creation OF a department OF public
recreation which should have complete
supervision over all -amusements under
control. This department should
be administered by a director OF public
recreation, who should be assisted by
three supervisors one to inspect moving
pictures. theaters, penny arcades, amuse-
ment parks, dance halls. bowling alleys,
poolrooms and like types OF amusement.
while the other two supervisors, a man
and a woman, should have charge OF
the parks, Fairgrounds, all forms OF out
door athletics. including the municipal
gymnasium, lighthouses and bathing
beaches, and of the Boy Scout and Camp
Fire Girls activities. In this plan Mr.
Martin incorporated a suggestion for the
licensing of places of public amusement,
The Issuance OF these licenses TO be un-
der the control OF the director OF public
recreation.

New York, Aug. 2e.-R. G. Dun's re,
view tomorrow will say:
Evidences OF revIving commercial and
Industrial activity steadily multiply and
business optimism is becoming wide
spread. This spirit Of confidence finds
a reflection In the more general antici-
patton of future requirements, and, since
merchandise stocks at all leading points
must be replenished, prospects are en-
couraging for a satisfactory fall and
winter season.
THE restrictive influence OF tariff re-
vision is somewhat less manifest, and
the expansion OF trade is facilitated by
the improved monetary situation, in
creasing preparations for remote needs
being stimulated by the continued ab-
soTption Of commercial paper at lower
rates.
Conditions in iron and steel have
been rather better than expected this
month, and present indications suggest
a smaller rate of decrease in the un-
filled tonnage OF the principal producer.
Reports frcm the dry goods market
continue gratifying, jobbing responding
to the readjustment OF values on staple
prints in keeping with the reduction in

worsteds are selling much more freely

Further evidence OF the expansion In
general business is furnished by the con-
tinued falling of in light freight cars,
and while railroad gross earnings for
the first three weeks OF August were
practically the same as last year, there
was a gain of ST per cent as compared
