New York. Oct l9-Dun's Review
will say tomorrow:
With the steadily widening influence
of the war, business encounters many
new problems and obstacles, and not
all reports regarding its condition are
of the same tenor. But with the main
trend continuing general situation and
the position of trade and industry has
not been measured by the recent ac-
tion of the securities market. Where
the outlook has been made clearer by
the partial or complete removal Of
doubts about commodity prices, there
has come an immediate strengthening
of sentiment and some revival of ac-
tivlty, and where other uncertain
ties have been lessened or eliminated,
progress has been resumed with vigor.
Yet Of the competitive and excited
bidding which was so conspicuous a
feature a year ago there is now a
Wholesome absence and it is highly
reassuring that, while many buyers
operate more freely and with greater
confidence. conservatism shows no
abatement.

FOR ARMY SERVICE
Newspaper Photographers Needed to
Take" Enemy Lines.

Men who can develop pictures quick
ly are wanted for the Signal Corps
Of the army. The corps wants men
who can take a plate from an air
plane and in ten minutes send the
finished picture to the commanding

mination of strategy on the results
revealed by the air photographs.
The War Department yesterday sent
an appeal TO all newspapers. news
and Illustrating agencies for them 20
permit their men TO join the Signal
Corps. News Photographers. the Sig
nal Corps finds, are the only ones
who can work with the required
speed.
These men should report 20 the
nearest recruiting station or write to
the Signal Corps at Washington. They
will be formed into battslions and
work either In small laboratories close
behind the lines or in motor trucks
equipped for the purpose.

WEEKLY Y REVIEW OF TRADE

New York. Oct. 19.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Trade reports are rather more irreg-
ular. Wholesale and jobbing trade is
good and compares well with a year
ago in value rs regards distan. buy
ing and retail trade reports are Q
trife slower. In manufacture and in
dustry reports still point to activity,
limited only by sGrE lies of fuel and
labor, but exceptions to this are noted
In the Pacific Northwest, where
strikes still retSrd work in numbering
and shipbullding and at spring wheat
milling centers, where millers have
slowed down capacity to allow OF
wheat hitherto held up by ia mers
reaching Eastern millers.
Best reports as to wholesale trade
comes from the Northwest and Cen
trail West and South. with less sAtis-
factory advices from Atlanta and
ooast cities

The following analysis of the New

yesterday afternoon by w. b. Hibbs,
and Company, from c. B. Chaplin
and Company, their New York cor
respondents:
Many in the financial district are
beginning to realize the rather Tidicu-
lous figures at which security prices
rested during the early part of the
week. and it is now good opinion that
| influential interests have accumulat'
| ed a soodly portion Of the bettel
class of securities ard the technical
position of the market considerably
strengthened thereby. Recessions
therefore, will likely find a rather
broad buying power
