BTPNEY. N. 8. W.. Aug. 20. The first

there have been comparatively few func

lic reception and the official landing the
spirit of cordiality and whole-hearted wel

has found opportunity for expression In
several ways. Numberless harbor craft
have c!rtledail day long around the white
battleships anchored In the bay and the
shores and headlands were crowded until
late this afternoon by thousands of Inter
ested spectators.
This afternoon the admirals of the fleet
and the captains of the various battleships
came ashore and called officially upon
Lord Northcote, governor general of Aus
tralla, and Blr Harry Rawson, governor of
New South Wales. The American officers
were aajuted upon landing. Later the gov

his turn saluted by the American fleet.

There were present sixty-six Americans,
Including the admirals and the captains,
as well as Sir Harry Rawson; the British
admiral; ministers of the state and of the
.commonwealth and a number,, of Judges
and local naval and .military officers of
high rank.

city and harbor were also illuminated, but
not as completely as they will be later.
The entire population Is-given over to
holiday making. Fleet paymasters today
drew $000,000 from the Sydney banks.
CONFIDENCE MEN TURN TRICK
Italian Frnlt Vender Taken In to the
Extent of Four Hundred
Dollars.
- The confidence man is again abroad In the
land," but this time he 'la offering to leave
money with his Intended victim Instead of
keeping the tatter's cash In trust. Leo
Perrl, the Italian who runs a fruit stand
at Sixteenth and Locust streets, is the
latest dupe of confidence betrayers, and
some of his fellow countrymen' have the
"swag." ". J"'
, Wednesday, Perri w"as accosted by two
Italians who said they were going home to
the old country. .
'We've got more money, than we need,
and want you to take care pf. what we
shall not use. We will leave as much with
you as you can show."
This sounded good to Perrl, who immedi
ately saw visions of himself as the proud
possessor of a double fortune. He went to
the bank and drew out his "pile," MOO,
feeling glad that anyone would trust an
equal amount with him. The money was
counted over by ihe. three-men, and another
1400 in bank notes added to it, after which
a package was made of the .whole sum.
Perrl -was given, the package and put it
inside his shirt for safe keeping, and the
two "friends" admonished him to take good
care of it till they returned from Italy.
Later Perrl opened his eyes wider than
usual when he found that the package con
tained a number of pieces of a dally news
paper, cut and folded, 4ike,.aper money.
The old game of switching packages had
again been successfully worked.
The police . bave been furnished descrip
tions of the two confidence men and are
now trying 'to locate them.

UNCLE SAM FEELS TOO GOOD
Commercial National Bank of Chicago
Doubts Old Man'i Crop Stories.
ADMITS C0UNTEY HAS ENOUGH
While Bank Believes Government Re
ports Are Too Sauarulae, Coaatrr
Has Produced Crops to Sustain
Abundant Prosperity.
CHICAGO. Aug. 20. (Special.) After
looking over the entire field of American
business endeavor and compiling reports
from answers to thousands of lnqulriea
made through careful correspondents, the
Commercial National bar of Chicago ar
rived at the conclusion In its eighth an
nual "Crop and Business Report" that
business is good Is going to be better;
banks have as much money In the coun
try as they had last year, banks in the
cities have more, and while the crops do
not come up to the sanguine expectation
of early spring, they are ample to sup
port an abundant prosperity.
Thf -bank report says the government
reports of wheat.'both winter and sprlug.
Are too high. It ears the government
estimate is 20.000.000 bushels too high
for spring wheat and almost 40,000,000
bushels too hlph for winter wheat, but
concludes the comment on wheat by say
ing: "There Is a strong export demand
and a high level of prices may be ex
pected." Government Report Too High.
It Is only a small decrease In the pro
duction of corn which the bank has
found nd its crop expectancy is placed
at 2,623,000,000 bushels, or something like
1.7 per cent less than last year.
The correspondents of the Commercial
National bank also find the oats crop
short short of the government's esti
mates, but In reality a good, heavy and
average crop.
With the losses which the big bank liaj
found, it summarizes the crop situation
by saying: "We re not below the
quantitative average fbr 1807 and, while
it must be regretted that the cost of food
will remain at a high level, the yield of
the farms in value to the producers haa
probably never been aurpassed."
The banking situation is briefly re
viewed, the position being taken that since
banking conditions were re-established
following the panic, the financial situa
tion has been working steadily more fa
vorable to a resumption of Industrial
activity.' The interior markets and finan
cial centers are complimented on their
strength and savings banks all over the
country are said to be holding their own
after losing deposits slnn December,

Heavy Burins; Certain.
Almost every line of business is re
ported as greatly Improved and many bet
ter than last year. The bank anticipates
heavy buying by retailers, who have al
lowed their stocks to get very low. The
following is the summary of some of the
principal lines:
Iron and Steel Production increasing, de
mand Improving except from the7 railways.
Outlook encouraging.
Coal Reduced purchases by railways and
manufacturers the discouraging feature.
Danger of ' traffic congestion noted. Out
look rather better.
Building A marked revival of activity
noted. Conditions generally regarded as
healthy. Indications that the rest of the
year will show a volume of business up
to average years.
Shoes and Leather There hss been a
good, recovery in prices of basic material.
Shoe shipments are In better volume and
local" stocks are known to be depleted.
Believed that the trade will steadily im
prove. Lumber Manufacturers' stocks show a
marked decrease and pressure on prices
has disappeared. Apathy of railway buy
ers Is the only bad factor. General buying
Is Increasing, and it Is believed that the
carriers must soon come Into the market.
A return of prices to a normal level Is
predicted for WO. In hard woods the
trade Is said to be deficient in volume,
but prict-s hold well. Country buying U
Improving. The outlook Is good for winter
j and spring operations.
Men's Clothing Ti a le In good grades well
! sustained. Retail stocks well cleaned up
j and replenishments inevitable. Volume of
trade well up to last year, and the pros-
pect hopeful. .The hat and cap trade Is
; making a good revival, especially In coun
try districts.
Millinery The trade Is In, good tone.
Stocks light everywhere and Inquiry satis
factory. Conditions about the same as a
year ago.
Woolens Reduced production and con
servative policies prevented any demoral
isation In this line. Retail stocks low and
conditions apparently sound. Feeling quite
optimistic for fall and winter.
Gems and Jewelry Interest In these
luxuries and sentimental tokens Is reviving
after months of dullness. Retail Inven

tories very light. Extensive replenishments
looked for.
Groceries and Canned Goods Stocks have
been reduced to a point where buying In
volume must soon appear. Jobber are
looking for a heavy fall trade. Consump
tion about normal. Canned goods and dried
fruits likely to command better prices.
Outlook good.
Machinery and Tools Trade 40 to 60 per
cent below normal, early in the year, but
conditions now Improving.
Hardware Trade In shelf goods of com
mon consumption good. Heavy lines in
different. Prospects bettor.
Wholesale Drugs Stocks much lower
than usual, but retail sales compare well
With last year. General sentiment Is bet
ter, and the trade is optimistic.
Pianos Trade about 75 per cent normal.
Stocks much depleted, and it Is believed
retailers will soon come into the market.
Collections satisfactory, and trade rather
cheerful.
Numerous minor mercantile lines con
firm the opinion thnt retail stocks have
been depleted to such a point that a good
buying movement must soon set In to
supply actual needs. There will be no
speculative merchandising for some time,
but an active legitimate trade at fair prices
is expected. . V
MYSTERY OF LOST MEMORY
Not an Uncommon . Occurrence for
Persons to Forget Familiar
Karnes.
A young Parisian actress who had for
weeks held the title role in a popular play,
recently. It Is said, was, while on the atagn,
suddenly afflicted with forgetfulness and
was utterly unable to repeat the lines of the
last act,, though she bad successfully
passed through the three preceedlrfg ones.
It is not an uncommon happening with
stage people, lecturers and others, and
seems more likely to occur when the matter
memorised has been so often repeated that
forgetfulness' would appear Impossible
while Intelligence remained.
The same thing happens in a less marked
and conspicuous way to a great number
of people, its most common manifestation
being forgetfulness of proper names. A
name ordinarily familiar and Just about
to be spoken will vanish from the mind at
the Instant and be to the one about the
utter it as If it had never been. His con
sciousness grasps ' at it in vain, and, as It
were, beats agalnrt a blank wall. It Is
always a disagreeable experience," this
momentary failure of the memory, and
sometimes extremely embarrassing. Often
It happens when the victim Is aboui: to
greet an old old acquaintance, or when it
Is desirable to introduce two men, each
of whom he knows well.
Doctors do not clearly explain , this oc
casional defect In the mental powers, but
those who experience it know that Is oc
curs wnen they are especially weary or
overworked, and they may therefore as
sume that It is a form of brain fag and
as readily accounted for as a lameness of
arms or legs. That Is It most often dis
played in connection with proper names
Is perhaps due to the fact that these are
each held in the memory by separate and
arbitrary action and not through associa
tion, and are therefore most easily lost.
But whatever the cause, the multitude of
persons who forget names will have a
sympathetic comprehension of the state of
mind of the French actress, when she help
lessly soughtto find the words of her
play. Indianapolis Star.

Informing them their services were no
longer required. Other, men , took the
places of the strikers, who are now issu
ing handbills- explaining tbelr. grievances,
and asking for sympathy.. The strike re
