trolley line In the WdLerDuTy ul- vision would be functioning. Trolley Lines Open The New Haven trolley car out of Waterbury by way of Cheshire was running as far as Mount Car mel today. The New Haven line by way of Naugatuck had been opened to Beacon Falls. The Woodbury bus line was pushed through this morning and service to Middlebury and Woodbury was resumed.
 Trolleys were running as far as Oakville and from there to Wa tertown busses were being used to carry passengers. It was stated that this plan would be allowed to re- main in effect for a few days yet. The trolley cars were running up Willow street to Overlook this morning. By late this afternoon the service clear to Waterville was expected to be resumed. At the present time busseS are running to Waterville by way of Thomaston avenue. The Hill street line was opened up this morning.
 The Bank street trolley line was still closed beyond Meadow street today, but crews were working m
 Brooklyn clearing the rails ana had gotten almost to congress avenue this afternoon.
 Chase Companies Aid The Chase Companies, Inc, came to the assistance of the Connecti- cut Company and the city this af- ternoon when it lent its DE ploW' which opened up Thomaston ave nue to the trolley company. AS a result it was figured that the Baldwin and Sylvan avenue, Soutn Leonard street, Highland avenue and Walnut street bus lines Woulo be opened by late this afternoon or this evening.
 Manager Chapman of the Con necticut Company pointed out to- day that the city has sufficient on it's hands and that, therefore, tho trolley company was to use the Chase blow in widening the open ings through which the busses travel so as to restore service.
 Later yesterday afternoon it be- gan to rain. This caused the snow to melt considerably. At about II O o'clock last night the rain turned to snow but the fall was very light and hardly noticeable. A sharp wind blew during the night, caus- ing a general freeze-up this morn ing. Walking and driving was highly dangerous.
 Digging Becomes Hard
 During the early Shours of the orning the mercury began to drop and continued during early part Of today. This froze the snow and slush and made digging hard.
 When the rain started 1t was feared that floods would occur due to the congested condition of the gutters throughout the city. Had the thaw continued the city would have been in bad way to handle the surface water. However, the freeze-up that occurred this morn ing halted the thaw and will give the street department further tune to dig out the gutters. It is ad- mitted that outlying sections are bound to be flooded when the thaw does start.
 Policemen were busy through- out the entire city today notlfylnS property owners to sand tnelr sidewalks. The firemen continued on their 24-hour shift, Chief Henry Heitman pointing out that the rain made conditions even more dan gerous for the firedepartment.
 Today it was planned to have two deliveries made by the letter carriers. They completed thelr first rounds late this morning ana were to try and get as far as pos

NEW YORK. August 10.-Trade
volume still Is holding 40 per cent
above the 1888 low, said the weekly
Dun e. Bradstreet trade review today,
''in spite of the worst drought in the
Nations history. the epidemic of
strikes" and an unfavorable foreign
situation. Business sentiment, the re-
view added. shifted suddenly into a
more cheerful attitude during the
week.
Most Of the hesitancy which has
been in evidence since the beginning
of the third quarter" 1t continued, ''ls
expected to be dispelled by the Presi-
dents speeding of relief expenditures,
particularly for the drought-stricken
areas, and some formal announcement
regarding the administration's inten-
ton of making q strong swing to the
right.
Revised estimates OF Fall trade are
almost uniformly in an upward direc-
ton, with indications that last years
volume will be exceeded and that prof
its will be more general, as the retail
ers have had the advantage of steadier
wholesale markets this Summer in
assembling their merchandise.
I'm most parts of the Eastern States
retailers had their best weeks business
since the latter part Of June, the Au-
gust promotional events and displays
of early Fall goods helping to enlarge
the volume.
Wholesale orders for the week were
close to the high point for the year.
The cooler weather enabled many
buyers to make trips TO the markets
which were deferred in July because of

NEW YORK. August io.-The recent
adoption of q program for rubber re-
striction on the part Of the producing
nations should benefit the rubber
manufacturing industry In this coun-
try. according to the Index, monthly
publication of the New York Trust
Co. II points out that stability In the
price structure would work 10 the
advantage Of both rubber producers
and manufacturers so long as prices
did not go too high. while against
such an eventuality the United States
Is protected by current stocks and
by a potential increase in the manu-
facture Of reclaimed rubber.
The success or failure Of the restric-
ton program. the Index states, Is
largely In the hands of the Interna-
tional Rubber Regulation Committee.
and its moderation in exercising it's
powers will determine future price
fluctuations In rubber to a very con-.
siderable degree. Inclusion In the.
program of Netherlands India, which
did not subscribe to the Stevenson
plan for curtailment Of production,
gives II control over territories con-
stituting 80 per cent of the rubber
producing areas in the world
While the United States necessarily
remains dependent upon imports for
the efficient functioning Of q vital
industry" the Index concludes. "there
is no indication that prices win be
forced too high. In so far as the new
restriction program promotes stability
In the price Of crude rubber, 1t would
