An exclamation of fierce exulta-

Busy Week In Dress Trade.

The dress industry showed more activi-
ty last week than during any other week
this season, according to the Associated
Dress Industries of America This de-
mand on the part of retailers was an
ticipated. owing to the fact that many
buyers deferred their visits to this
market in order to attend the mer-
chandise fair at the Seventy first Regi-
nent Armory. Buyers showed they
wers~making their purchases cautiously,
but in aggregate volume of business
booked. satisfaction was shown by the
manufacturers. In many instances, re-
tailers who demanded early delivery
were met by the inability of manu-
facturers to satisfy their demands b.
deliveries in less than three to five
weeks. While caution guided most Of
the ordering. buyers expressed assur-
ance that recorders will be Forthcoming
before the fall season is well under
way. Many of tho buyers who were in
the market last week will return in q
few weeks to go over the second show
Ing, particularly In the houses which
make the better grade of garments.

With investment buying AZ the lowest
ebb of the year last week bankers were
busy developing plans tor the active
period which they are confident lies
ahead of the bond market.
In the present period Of seasonal dull
ess new bond offerings are not being
pressed on the market and little attempt
Is being made to reach the investor.
Only slightly over $2O.000.000 in new
bonds were offered to the public last
week, which was said to. be the lowest
weekly total thus far this year
That there will be considerably more
large scale new financing before the
close Of the year. however, bankers are
certain Business will receive a lively
impetus when crops are being moved
freely and coal is brought to market
and the natural assumption is that in
Austrial and railroad corporations will

/ to assume that there will be plenty of
investment funds to take care OF the new
securities.
The outlook for the money market
continues to be for an abundance OF
funds. At this time of the year and
until<the end OF November the with
draval of funds from New York for
financing the crops usually causes a
stringency in the money market This
Year however. 1t is believed that the big
crops will be moved easily and without
much help rom Wall Street.
The largest purchasers of securities,
country banks. have been placed in ex-

portionatcly.
Moreover. with the increase in busi-
ness larger profits may be expected and
incidentally larger dividends and a
heavier reinyestment demand

concerned. according TO the American

manufacturers in the last week for
which statistics are available was per
cent. below the amount Of actual pro-
duction, but as the manufa cturers
turned down considerably quantity OF

UNION TRUST co.
FIRE COST $4,000
Flames Discovered in Paper
Bailing Room on Fourth
Floor.

Fire of unknown origin at the Union
Trust Company building, 100 E. Mar
kct St, last night caused a $4,000 loss
and for a time threatened to spread
to other buildings.
The fire, when discovered by l. w
Mckinney, the night wa$chman, was
raging furiously in a large storage
and paper baling room on the fourth
floor
BY feeding hose lines into the
fourth story windows and cutting,
holes in the roof, the fire was soon
confined to a small space.
Arthur V. Brown, president of the
Trust Company, stated the loss was
covered by insurance. Daniel Mather,
real estate agent, whose offices are on
the fourth floor, suffered loss from
both fire and water.
The streets were thrOnged and it
was with difficulty that police con-
trolled traffic.
