Speaking as an American. I cannot for

adherent of the Zionist movement. The
Jew should not for a moment feel that

temporary or passing one. If those who
come after us are to be freed from th
prejudice from which this generation is.
not unnaturally, suffering, we feel that
politically no one has any claim upon as

BRADSTRELT'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Primary Markets Are Filled with
Caaatry Merrhaata.
NEW TORK. Aug. S.-Braditreefs to
morrow will say:
Buyers' excursions have been a feature
of the week and the leading primary mar
kets of the country have been fllU-d with
country merchants. As a result, house
trade has been stimulated, snd orders for
dry goods, clothing snd shoes show con
siderable Improvement.- Fell business, ex
cept at a few centers. Is said to equal a
year ago at this date, the volume being
made up of numerous orders rather thaa
by any new interest of heavy business.
In fact, many merchants displsy a dispo
sition to go slow, fearing that orders may
fall off, not because of a decline In con
sumption,' but more particularly of th
tightness of money. ......
The cotton goods manufacturing situa
tion Is sn Interesting and almost unprece
dented one. in spite of high raw material
and expensive cottons, the mills are pros
perous, dividends large, surpluses Laavy
and their stocks sell at high prices.. On
the other hand, owing to the uncertain
money situation and some minor labor
troubles, there Is an Increasing undercur
rent of conservatism In the trade. ' The
mills are oversold, msny mskes are "st
value" and some manufacturers are re
fusing order. Tsken all in all. th situa
tion is such as to repay examination. Which
la rendered possible br sn article In an
other column. The woolen and worsted
manufacturers bought more heavily di
rectly from the growers this season thaa
ever before, paying fairly high prices. Iron
continues quiet. The undertone aa regards
prices Is leas favorable and some foundries
are said to be seeking loopholes for getting
out of high-price contracts placed early
In th year.
