OUTLOOK GOOD
SAYS BRADSTREET

New York, Aug. 14.-Bradstreet's
says today:
|, Enlarged house trade, country
optimism, smarter activity in metal
manufacturing, further slight improve
nlent in lines that have long Jagged,
heavier buying of pig iron at advanced
prices, relatively excellent crop news,
war orders that overflow regular chan
nels to plants not heretofore engaged
In that respect, better collections, in
creased calls for money with which to
move crops, some, though not satisfac
tory, relief in the way of higher freight
rates for western railroads, a heavy
influx of gold to help bolster weak
rates for foreign exchange, which are
at new record low levels, and sustained
public interest in the stock market
comprehend the chief features. of the
weeks developments. Besides, warm
weather has helped retail traders to
dispose of summer goods at greatly re-
duoed prices Although the general
swing is upward, it is most manifest
in the iron and steel industry, and in
cidentally feeling as to the future con-
tinues to outstep actual buying. But
practically all visiting merchants, ir-
respective of the sections from which
they hail, agree that the outlook for
fall and winter is exceptionally good.

Keniston, business agent of the Red

A disgraceful fight occurred in Martins
burg last Sunday afternoon as the result
OF drunken orgy inspired by Hagers-
town liquor. A house kept by two dis
solute women was the scene OF the scan
dalous affair, and that murder was not
committed is a wonder. The fight was
fierce one, in which travelling salesman,
giving his name as George w. Brown, OF
Philadelphia, was beaten and cut terribly,
and Dick Show, OF Martinsburg, had his
jaw broken and had his head pounded
until he became unconscious. The women
in the case were taken to jail and the in
jured men to the hospital. Later Brown
escaped from the hospital and got an au-
tomobile to take him 10 Maryland, but he
was arrested there and returned TO Mar
tinsburg, where the whole party will have
to stand trial in the courts. This wicked
dissertation OF the Sabbath has induced
many persons to very earnestly hope that
Maryland may soon 60 dry. Booze from
that State is responsible for an untold
amount of crime and trouble in West Viz
ginia.
