LURKING DEATH.


r UsH-HoUR TRAFFIC was at its
~ peak one recent afternoon when
at one of the busiest intersections an
elderly lady was in the midst OF a
small army of pedestrians. trying pre-
cariously to reach the other side for
a happy landing. Right-turn drivers,
whose relentless oncoming produces
so many inpromptu games OF hop
ip-and-jump, were demonstrating to
perfection the lack Of consideration
for pedestrians they so invariably dis
play
After several slow starts and an
equal number of back steps. the
elderly lady stood still in her tracks,
faced an oncoming machine, shook
her walking stick menacingly at the
driver, at the same time commanding,
Stop" in tones amply audible.
Some witnesses smiled disdainfully.
but others no doubt commended
the old lady's courage and silently ap-
her defiance of a driving
practice which is one Of the greatest
dangers 10 street Sa1ety.

A VERY dignified old lady boarded
one Of the new Connecticut

It was very crowded, passengers were
standing, and the driver was new

"Are there any seats on this bus,

80 TRADE GAIN
FORECAST

In analyzing 1886 prospects, the
United Business Service said that
aggregate trade is expected to ex-
ceed 1885 by at least 10 per cent,
whilo many lines will show much
greater gains. Of commodity prices
the forecast said:
"A fairly stable level is indi-
Gated. No sharp advances or de-
clineS are likely. Higher purchas-
ing power in the second half of
the year will make for stronger
pric structure"
Generally improved confidence,
ample available capital, better
profit opportunities and large re-
placement needs will bring about
heavier buying of buildings, ma
chinery and equipment, it was
stated
The dollar volume of goods sold
at retail will probably be 8 to 10
per cent larger than in 1885 owing
to higher farm and urban purchas-
ing power the forecast said. Re
tail prices are not likely to vary
materially from present levels. In
stalment purchasing will increase,
with lower carrying charges being
a stimulating factor, it was be.
lieved. Of agriculture, the United
Business Service said that larger
crops are expected in 1886, that
benefit payments are likely to
continue, no matter what the Su-
preme Court decides about the
AAA, and that a more even dis
tribution of agricultural purchas-
ing power is anticipated next year.
