The eXpedient was a wise one, even IL
1t did, to a certain extent, corrupt the
morals of the bOnd-buying public by
teaching il to expect a f-r higher rate

the bond buyer who refused to be in
terested in June has been coaxed back
into the market. His funds have piled
up and he has found it harder and harder
to use them profitably outside Of the
bond market. He has drifted back to his
normal occupation, and has been Occu-
pied for a month or so picking out bar
gains in bonds. He is more critical than
he was before, asks more questions, and
wants more privileges. You can coax

He refuses to hid high prices even for
his old favorites, and the books of the
Wall Street dealers are full of orders to
buy the standard bonds at their low
prices of the year. and in many cases
far below their present prices.
When the bond buyers balk they al
most paralyZe the industry of the world.
When they come back in full force they
will probably go to the other extreme,
and there will be another era like 1904, 7
when bonds will sell at fooIhardy high

New York. Oct. S.-R. G. Dun's to-
morrow will say:
Business in most leading depart-
ments continues to make satisfactory
progress, one specially notable feature
denoting the steady revival of conf
dence. being the increasing disposition
of merchants in numerous lines and in
widely separated parts of the country
to anticipate future requirements. some
uncertainty has been expressed as 10
conditions in certain sections Of the
South, where the cotton crop is re-
ported to have been adversely affected
by heavy rains, but the high prices at
which the staple is now selling have
evidently removed whatever apprehen-
sion may have been felt, for merchants
generally throughout the belt are plac-
ing orders for necessities with much
greater freedom than a year ago.
Similar conditions apparently pre-
Vall In those districts where the crops
suffered from drought, reports from
practically all the leading centers of
the West and Southwest displaying
marked optimism. In the East, where
commercial and Industrial operations
have been considerably retarded by
tariff uncertainty, the final settlement
as to the date when the new law will
go into effect has encouraged both
merchants and manufacturers. and
their operations are on a steadily
broadening scale.
Bank exchanges are again smaller
this week than last year. the loss be-
ing 14.7 per cent, but there is a gain
OF 81 per cent as compared with 1911"

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Business Continues to Make Satisfactory Prog
ress-Merchants Display Confidence in
Future by Orders-Money Easier.

New York, Oct 3-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say:
Improved collections, easier money and
enlarged distribution of trade are the
pre-eminent features contained in this
weeks reports. Wearing apparel reflects
most activity. and it is significant that
the returns. taken as "A whole, indicate
the requests for prompt shipment are
general, thus suggesting that stocks are
still light, and, moreover, the consensus
is that trade is ahead of that being done
at this time last year, when a consider
able degree of progress was noted.
Immediate developments may be at
tributed to the advance of the season,
fall fashion shows by retail dealers,
which, by the way, seem to be gaining in
popularity, fall festivals at some points,
iuences of crop money are being felt in
lied to agriculture.
THE iron and steel industry, barring
the appearance of renewed activity in
steel rails, remains quiet, with easier
prices prevailing on semi-finished and fin
ished steel; but thus far the trade does
net reflect any effects from the new tar
i'll, and it is PROBABLE that the impending
change dictates more or less caution on
the part of buyers Demand for ma
chinery is very quiet and copper is dull.
In the East textile markets manifest ac-
tivity, advancing prices and scarcity Of
goods.
Business failures for the week ending
October were go. which compares with
2S7 last week. and 2SS year ago."

STEP TOWARD FEDERAL
TELEGRAPH OWNERSHIP
Report Ordered on Advisability Of
Postofiee Department Taking
Over AIaskan Cable.

What is considered to be the admins
tration's first step looking toward gov
ernment ownership of telegraph and
cable lines was made yesterday. when
Secretary of War Garrison delegated As
sstant Secretary of War Breckenridge
and Mai. Charles Nick. Salzman TO re-
port on the advisability OF requesting
the Postoffice Department TO take over
the $500 miles of Alaskan cable now
operated by the War Deparement.
The Alaskan cable system also includes
a number of wireless stations. which Il
is planned to have the Postonice De
partment operate. The War Department
considers that the operation of the Alas
kan system is too much of a burden upon
the army, and that II properly belongs
TO the Postoffice officials.
If this exchange Of administration be
aTe.ted, II is predicted that il will be
merely the opening wedge for govern

ARREST MADE
OF Walter A. Burke, Real Es-
tate Operator, for Al
legged Embezzletnent.

NEW York.. June ALLAN A.
Ryan, son OF Thomas F. Ryan, the
financier, caused the arrest today OF
Walter A. Burke, real estate oper-
ator, for alleged speculation in Wall
street with the funds of an estate OF
which Burke was the executor.
Ryan alleges that Burke confessed
to him recently that he lost by
speculation $14s. o0e' of the $780,
600 estate OF Burke's sister, Matilda
b. Brown. The money was placed by
Burke with Ryan,s brokerage firm.
According to the complaint Burke
confessed when proceedings we're
about to be begun to compel him to
account for the fund. Ryan charges
that Burke told him the brokerage
firm would be made defendant in
the action to recover the sum lost in
Burke,s speculation. Hayap- then be-
gan proceedings which eliminated in
Burke.s arrest. The specific charge
against Burke is the larceny of $780,
900 from the estate. He was held in
$4,000 bail after pleading not
guilty for hearing June IL.

twenty representative gentlemen of
the congregation, accepted the price
after much elaboration. That moth
ing really worth while can be accom-

freely admitted, so If Clarksburg
people will but second the efforts or
the jealous pastor it will be no great
difficulty to build the school. A
