Horse Meets with Peculiar Accident.

| Horse Meets with Peculiar Accident.
The fine saddle horse owned by
City Tax Collector Robert E. Dill
was severely burned about the hind
quarters last Saturday as the result
of a most peculiar accident The
animal was grazing in Nichols ave-
nue. near the carriage entrance to
the premises OF F. B. Lemann, when
the big gate was suddenly thrown
open from the inside to permit the
egress of a vehicle. . Startled, the
horse plunged forward and fell across
guy wire attached to an electric
light pole, and the weight of the
animal caused this wire to sag down
and come in contact with one of
tbs high voltage wires of the munic-
ipal electric light plant, carrying
$500 volts of electricity. It was on
ly after an axe had been ihurriedly
procured and the guy wire severed
that the struggling animal was re-
leased. 1t will survive the shock,
but will doubtless be badly SCARED.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Optimism Among Business Becoming More Pronounced,
Though Actual Progress is Still Slow-Bountiful
Harpests Are Expected-AgricultHral
Sections Gain Confidence.

! New York. July n-Bradstreets tomor-
row will say:
Reports to Bradstreets Journal this
week spell betterment-moderate in some
instances but totalling sufficient to de-
serve mention. Needed rains have fallen
in some districts; the general crop situa-
as is not unusual in July: clearance sales
and hot weather have enlarged the turn
over Of summer goods and reports from
the iron and steel and allied lines such
as agricultural implements. carbuildIng
and repairing, show a continuance Of
the improved conditions recently noted.
There Is evidence also that optimistic
sentiment as to the future Of trade and
industry Is more widespread than at any
previous time this year.
The general price movement Is ir-
regular, good or improved crop condi-
tons or movement holding down or
actually depressing most cereals and cot
ton. On the other hand. beef and other
live stock reflect scarcity in the highest
prices Of the year for beef cattle and
hogs. Despite some improvement In col
lections due to crop Improvement or en-
larged sales at retail Of summer wear
ing apparel, collections are not better
than fair and are distinctly slow IN some
sections. Bank clearings again show
gains over year ago. but the excess
Is largely at New York

New York, July 17.-Dun's review viii
say tomorrow:
Actual progress in business is still
slow. yet with the trend in the right
direction optimism is becoming more pro-
nounced. The Improvement in sentiment
Is primarily due to the prospect Of an
other year OF bountiful harvests and the
growth OF confidence is especially mani
fest in the great agricultural sections of
the country. Large crops will enhance
the purchasing power of the farming
community and there is promise that
this nations credit position abroad Will
be strengthened by an extensive foreign
demand for the products of the soil Ap-
parently the outgo of gold to Europe has
eliminated and sterling exchange has
steadily declined on increased offerings
Of finance bills in anticipation OF ship
ments Of domestic staples. Both money
and commercial paper are rather firmer,
but rates average lower than a year
ago. The most encouraging feature Of
the general situation is the further bet
terment in the iron and steel industry,
which is gradually emerging from its
former state Of depression There has
been an unusual influx OF buyers in the
drygoods markets due to the Ciahin sale
and opening Of many spring lines As a
whole values remain steady with an up
ward trend in some directions but opera
tons are still conservative"
