in July and early in August brought
an Improvement in the outlook toi
business. agriculture and live stock

by cattlemen. Market prices were
on an upward trend.

distinct shortage of feed. Production

Business was up to that of a year
ago. however, A sizeable, seasOnable
increase in wholesale business was
reported for July and August, but
was below that of 1924. The buying
was brisk in sections where the crop
outlook was brightest but light else
where.
FEW FAILURES.
~The present soundness of business
Is evidenced by the steady improve
ment in the commercial failure rate,
the report said. "There were fewer
insolvencies reported during July
than in any month during the past
five years. and July, 1924. was the
only month within that period in
which the Indebtedness of defaulting
firms was smaller

at IFS peak. banks reported a large
volume Of funds invested in govern
ment securities and commercial paper.

sank 10 member banks on August 10
amounted only to S10.OO0,000 as
compared with S21. $4,000 on the

The July valuation Of building per.
nits in the district was about the
same as in June but less than July.
1924.
A general surplus of labor through
put re southwest was reported, and
many industries were reducing forces.
The oversupply was mostly in I'M
skilled work, but some industries re-
ported a surplus Of skilled workers.
The number Of building craftsmen
continued TO exceed the demand In
some cities. The drouth was respon-
nble for an oversupply Of farm labor.

REAL MESSAGE FROM THE
 FRONT IN BASEBALL GAME
Injured Are, One Umpire Dragged on Field and Other Showcrcd
 With stones.

The Falcon Juniors and the Mys- ties met on the field of battle last night, and according to our inform ant. 1t was a real field of battle with the eumpircs getting the worst of tho melee, and after the sixth inning had been played. the game broke up be- cause there was an argument over whether there were three out or not. The score at tho time was five all.
 Apparently, according 10 the mes sage we have received, the Falcons were Tn fighting mood and almost broke up the game in several in- stances. A near riot was started in the first inning when the Mystics scored their first counter. Miller hit two base wallop to right field and Gadomsla threw wild 10 second, sending inc runner to third. Lucas singled sending In Miller. Lewicki few out to left. Bogjanskf connected for three bases and was followed by Bo, who hit for two and something came up whereby the Falcons claimed they were not getting q square deal. The players and spec tators swarmed out on the field snd the umpire was dragged off and a substitute was put in his place. After several minutes the game vas re- sumed.
 At the Falcons turn at bat, their first three men whiffed. The game went along to the fifth when another fight started over the umpire's de- cision. The arbiter was shacked from the field under a shower Of stones and sticks and another brave and courageous man took the field
 Then came the sixth and last inning. The Mystics were batting and started anoAer slugfest when. &C., cording 10 our correspondent, the Falcons claimed there were three out and although the score keeper said there were only two and the umpire corroborated his testimony, the Falcons left the field and refused to play. Freddie for the Mystics and Mack for the Falcons are the names signed to this bulletin from the war zone.

GASCOS WIN AGAIN
Connecticut Electric Light & Power Co. Team No Match for Diumina- tors,

What the Gascos baseball team didn't do to the Connecticut Elec- tric Light and Power Co. at Walnut Hill last night isn't worth talking about, but in the game between these two hines, the Gascos came out with q bag full of runs. scoring l4 in seven innings to 1 for their op- ponents. The Light Go. infeld was very poor, and although Jimmy Ho- gan twirled d brand of ball that was good enough to win, he was almost all alone on the field. His mates gave him horrible support and things came to such pass that the Gascos were all winded from running the bases, and after the third inning, they were hardly able 10 swing their bats, and consequently no more runs were scored,
 r. Sheehan was the big gun for the Gascos, scoring three runs and slsmming out home run and single for good measure, while Xiii duff was the only man on the Light CTS team to either hit or score. He collected two singles and scored the only run for his team. Jack. Malloy umpired like a big leasuer.
 The Gascos are scheduled to play at the hill again next Tuesday night. The score Of last nights game was as follows:
