BANKERS SAY
DULLNESS HITS
SUMMER TRADE

In introducing its general letter on
trade conditions, and business fore
cast for the month Of August, the Ma
tional Bank Of Delaware says
The usual midsummer dullness has laid
its hold upon business generally and
things have Quoted down considerably
The decline in business which has taken
place during the past three weeks is not,
however. tho same sort of decline which
was IN evidence during the several weeks
previous For time, uncertainty about
tariff and currency legislation, the upset
condition of Europe and the threatening
labor situations in this country, coupled
with an ahuormallv tight money market,
caused n nervousness and unsettlement
in business which had a threatening
aspect. business continued to decline
through this period That the more re-
cent falling OIL in business is the usual
midsummed quieting is evidenced by the
Improvement in sentiment, the slight
uptun in both Stock Exchange and
Board Of Trade circles and the some
what increasing activity in financial
dealings
The entire output of grains for the
country will be sufficiently above the
average this year to take care of the
incrase in population There is a
present prospect for 4S5 million
bushels of winter wheat. 23O million
bushels of spring wheat: billion
bushels of corn; a billion bushels of
oats; 165 million bushels of barley;
80 million bushels Of rye; p million
bushels of rice; 925 million pounds of
tobacco and $40 million bushels of
white potatoes. Il is early to esti-
mate the cotton crop, but present in
.dications are that it will run between
rs and Is 10 million bales. There
may be some deterioration but il is
safe to assume that this years cotton
crop will be the largest crop ever
produced with the exception Of that OF

GerStein So Convinced; Now
Wants World To
Know II
OBJECT TO CHICKENS
AND STABLE AT COLONY

Which is the greatest detriment to
real estate. a stable or chickens. rab-
bits and other animals?
This question was brought up at
the meeting of the assessors of Ar
den last evening. when Walter E.
Sweeting, who had arranged a system
of assessment for the colony, made
his report. The assessors had adopt
ed a plan whereby the assessment OF
the colony was increased about 4 per
cent, or SS6 in all.
During the discussion over the in
crease of the rentals caused by the
new assessment, w. L. Lightbown
protested against an increase on his
property as a stable was nearby II
was brought out that his rabbits, and
chickens we're nearer eurrounding
property than the stable was to
Lightbowns house. It was contended
that this should cause a reduction of
those near by, but nothing was done
in the matter
During the evening several persons
who opposed tho increase in rentals.
protested, saying the colony was sup
posed to be founded on the doctrine of
Single Tax whereas the economic
rent idea had not been taken into con-
sideration at the colony This the
trustees declared was not right, as
the colony was supposed to be living
up TO Single Tax ideas At this, II
was declared that Emanuel Gerstein,
who had returned to him his rent
money for last year because he re-
fused to pay an increase. would pay
the rent with interest. if a trustee
should proclaim that the colony was
not living up to the tenets of Henry
George None of those present would
make such a statement, however and
Gersteins question will be consider
cd at the town meeting on next Mon
