NEW YORK, oct. 42.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Save for a probably temporary setback
to retail distribution caused by spell OF
warm weather, progress I'm trade and in
dGstry Is Of conspicuous proportions,
with even greater gains apparently In
store. In larger lines cumulative eNpan-
sion Is the chief characteristic. Retail
merchants show a stronger propensity TO
buy ahead; the steel trade goes on maxi
ing grounds; prices On some finished
products have been advanced, partly 20
keep buying within certain bounds; the
long periodic scarcity Of railway cars Is
an actual fact; n paucity of labor exists,
payrolls are cnlargingi weekly bank clear
ings are OF unparalleled proportions; de-
mand for money, the supply of which is
plethortc, at easy rates, is increasing
exports OF wheat and flour for the cur
rent week established a new high record
export trade continues unprecedented
meritorious new enterprises are being
launched more readily; real estate, long
dormant, is reviving and farmers in the
south are paying off old debts. Weekly

SHEEP-Receipts today were two cars
or about 400 head. They sold at about
steady prices,a deck of decent fat lambs
going at $3.50, while some pretty good
ewes brought $3.50 The v eek's total re-
ceipts are l06,420 head. a shortage of
q 500 as compared with last week about
30 600 smaller than two weeks ago and
more than 5000 lighter than a year ago
This weeks receipts are the smallest since
the third week of August.
Fat lambs closed the week, selling
strong to l0d15c higher than a week ago
Prices showed a l0SU15c gain Monday and
from then on until Friday steady mar
kets were the rule. On Friday the tone
was weak, but supplies were extremely
light, and, quality considered, values were
steady, Best fat lambs corning are selling
around $3.50 to S.65 with fair stuff
around $3.50 and other on down.
Feeders ruled fully steady all week, and
closed steady to strong with last Friday
Most of the feeding yearlings are still
selling at s60O@7.0O. with best kinds quot
able at $40.
Old muttons were the only kinds to
suffer on this weeks trade and a very
slack demand allowed them to slump
fully 25d35c up to Thursday, when best
ewes failed to bring over S5.76. AS com
pared with the high time Tuesday current
values are close TO 6Oc off. What few
yearlings were Offered tows rd the week
would easily bring $3.50 and choice ones
are nominally qouted at 1915

HOGS-Yesterday' market wound up in
fairly decent shape, the few cars of fresh
hogs being cleaned up about the middle OF
the afternoon at prices that were a big
nickel lower than the early market. This
morning, with the smallest run i'm a
long time on deck, prices reacted lit
tie, and by $3.50 the bulk of the fresh
arrivals had been cleaned up at prices
that were &c higher than Fridays aver
age, or strong to sc higher than yester-
days best time. Shippers are almost en-
tirely out of the game, apparently hav-
ing no outlet, and SPECTATORS are pretty
well loaded up and are not doing much.
Packers, consequently, have little compe-
titlon, and are paying current prices only.
Bulk of today's offerings was bought
at $250T.S5, while tops reached $40
These figures are fully $1.OO below the
close of last week, while todays top Is
n.05 under the best price paid last Sat
urday, when the bulk sold at S. 256IS 4C
and tops brought $8B.
Today's receipts of thirteen cars, or
about 1000 head, were the smallest for
any one day since the first week OF
August, 1914 when Friday arrivals were
only ten cars, or 639 head. total for
the week is 1920 head, being 15OO smaller
than last week and 1900 short OF a year
ago, but nearly 1000 larger than two
weeks ago.

KITCHENER PUTS HIS PLAN BEFORE
 ITALY'S PREMIER
With Italy's Aid, Believes He Can Turn Tide in Bal
 kans and Crush Germany.

Rome, Italy, Nov. 26.-Lord Kitch- ener reached Rome today. Without an instant's delay, he started On tho next great step in his military mis- sion in the Near East-the enlistment of Italy's active aid in the Balkans.
 Italy has 60,00O men at Avlona, but they lie passive in that Albanian port.
 Italy also has large forces at Rhodes, but they are on waiting orders in that Aegaen isle.
 The British secretary of war wants these men thrown at once against the Bulgarians and their Teuton allies.
 With these Italians in the field, the Russians promise 100000 will he rushed across the Bulgarian frontier and an army swung up from Gallipoll to Salonki, Lord Kitchener feels that he will be able to balk the German march cn Constantinople. He believes he can then reach Sofia and turn the tide of war in the Balkans.
 No sooner had Lord Kitchener arriv- ed from Greece at Naples, than he hurried to Rome and called on Premier Salandra. To the latter, for an hour, he made his arguments with customary force.
