an ordinary man by any manner

RRADSTREETS' COMMENT.

NEW YORK, Aug. -Bradstreets will say tomorrow:
 Trade and industry are active. prices of nearly all products are firm or advancing. and reflection of the undeniably poor general crop situation or of the uncertain railroad outlook is sought, almost in vain, in the reports as to trade demand, manufacturing activity or commercial collections. This is attributed to various causes, least of all, however. to exaggeration as to crop damage. though there is probably of this to be reckoned with. The general disposition is, in fact. to regard the railroad strike menace as likely to disappear and to view the high and advancing prices of all farm products as likely to offset the con- cededly moderate yields. of cotton, most of the cereals and other agricul- tural food products. In this Connec- tion sight is not lost of the reported large balances of last years wheat crop, left over and the necessity of Europe due to short yields there and to requirements for what looks like another year of war. That Europe in the last fiscal year took nearly S1.000, ,00O,000 worth of war or near war materials. one quarter. indeed. of all exports, is a concrete fact that is

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-Free purchases of wheat by exporters rescued the market from earlier doldrums today and the close was at the top with ad- vances ranging from 1 3-S in May to an extreme of 5c in September Other pits also advanced-cOrn 7-S r0 l 5-S: oats lie and provisions , to 35c. In- different cables and a lingering belief that the market had not suffered in the sharp advance. were evident. Many longs sold out and some pro- fessions too. took a chance on the short side in the face of the almost unanimous propaganda.
 Foreigners came into the market at once. Premiums advanced to the highest of the session.
 Corn prices dipped reluctantly with wheat after a higher opening, but advanced when the wheat upturn de- Yeloped
 The market for oats was strong and active on the theory that this cereal, compared with others. is relatively the cheapest thing in the pits.
 The spot market was strong and a quarter of a cent higher. Shorts and spectators were heavy buyers of provisions under which stimulus prices advanced actively Foreigners were said to be taking the goods Pork advanced live to 20 cents; lard 30 to 35c and ribs 10c.
