Trade Conditions Rather Mixed,
With Onward Movement Style.

New York. Aug. 15.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow, will say: Trade trends
continue rather mixed, but on the
whole movements are onward, chiefly
because of the waning of mid-sum
mer and the approach of the fall sea-
son. House sales have improved at
most leading markets, thanks to the
presence of visiting buyers, while road
business has held its own, and senti-
ment as to distribution during the fall
and winter is quite optimistic, though
il must be admitted that the situa-
ton in the Southwest is somewhat
spotted, as the result of drought and
heat damage to the corn crop. There
is more activity in textiles at New
York. Western advices strike SINH
lar chord, Northwestern reports tell of
heavy fall shipments and parts of the
South are doing better and even
though most sections still are quiet,
views as to the future certainly are
more cheerful. A straw that shows
the course of trade winds is the an

Wilson's message to President Huerta

John Lind. President Wilson's spe-

President Huerta, that the simplest
way IN the end was to accept the
document for President Huerta and

the possession of the government.
since Thursday night and no action
concerning 1t has yet been announc-
ed, the government is not disposed
, summary to reject it,
Mr.. Lind this afternoon, with the
consent of Senior Gamboa, admitted
for the first time to the American
newspaper correspondents that he ha
, held conferences with the Mexican
minister for foreign affairs, adding
that they had been cordial in char
aeter. While neither of the principals
will admit the fact. information has
been obtained that the object of Mr..
Lind's visit to Senior Gamboa, late 81
night. was to deliver President VIII
