GETTING BETTER

NEW YORK, Aug. 26. U.P)-Wide-
spread improvement in business
was reported today in Bradstreet's
and Dunn's Weekly Reviews of
American trade and industry.
Better sentiment of the past week

ity in the wholesale and light man
ufacturing lines according to re-
ports from 55 leading cities, Brad
streets Review said.
Retail trade and collections are
gaining, tire Review said. Shoe
manufacturers are running on full
time, while mems clothing factor
les are beginning to step up oper-
ations. Automobile manufacturers
at Detroit are preparing for a
strenuous campaign.

trend and "the beginning of the
last few months of the year is ex-
pected to give further impetus to
the momentum of trade improve
ment."
"News from the building industry
is more encouraging than it has
been for several months" Dunn's
said. Manufacturers of building
materials find that residence con-
struction inquiries are heavier than
at any period in the last three
years and banks note a marked
upturn in the number of applica-
tions for building loans.
There has been a gradual in:
crease this month in the sale OF
dry goods, each week showing an
improvement over the record of the
week preceding. There is a better
demand for footwear and, with
leather quotations continuing up
ward, higher shoe prices are in
prospect.
1.-THE number of buyers in the
wholesale markets went ahead of
last weeks high total and, in many
instances, exceeded the record for
any week this year. In the textile

U.PeThe scattered army of 1880
miners that was repulsed in an at

in central and northern Illinois
to plan the next move in their
campaign to prevent fellow miners
from working under a SIS a day
wage scale.
Mines in Franklin and other
southern Illinois counties worked
with full crews, hosting coal.
Sheriff Browning Robinson of
Franklin county and sheriffs of adj
joining counties ordered their
thousands of citizen-deputies to be
ready for call should another in
yasion be attempted.
Mass meetings of strikers were
called at Springfield, Gillespie and
Peoria by Chairman Arthur Hughes
of Gillespie. Hughes declared a
small number of permanent pick
cts would be sent to each Frank
lin county mine.
Scattered mines in other parts
of the state succumbed to picket
ing while the invading strikers
were dispensing to their homes af-
ter the bloody clash with deputies

appoint a deputy sheriff to stay

The deputy's duty would be to
