NEW YORK, Oct. 29. R. O. Pun A Co.'s
weekly review of trade tomorrow, will say:
Further progress Is making In trade ex
pansion and financial conditions are more
Bellied, while politics, In Kpite of the ncar
iws of election day. do not materially
latfert the business situation.
The reports from the leading trade cir
cles are ko uniformly favotable as to leave
no Question of doubt as to the widespread
character of the revival. It Is probably (
p;rlod of Its history has the wealth of
the United State made a better snowing
of growth than It la making at the present
time.
If further evidence of the rapid expan
sion In Iron and steel were needed, it is
furnished by the report of the steel cor
poration for the third quarter and the ap
propriation of $10,000,000 for new construc
tion work, which testifies to the confi
dence shown In a steady growth of busi
ness in the future.
The leading railroads continue to make
liberal purchases of needed equipment, re
cent sales of rails aggregating 80,000 tons.
New business comes forward slowly in
tructuial lines. More Interest Is shown In
the wire trade than for some time past and
current sales are of good volume.
The maintained high cost of wool and
cotton add complications to the merchan
dising of textiles and tend to force irreg
ular productions, yet merchants agree that
demand Is broadening in distributing chan
nels, Just as It has been expanding in
primary centers for some weeks.
Stocks In retailers' hands are reduced
and orders for fall have been so conserva
tively placed that the rush for Immediate
delivery for seasonable merchandise forces
higher prioes and Jobbers are asking that
orders for deliveries In December be set
ahead.
Premiums are being offered for quick de
livery of seveial kinds of knit goods. Prices
are marked up dally and are already at a
high level, although not up to 1907. Hopes
of export trade with China are less san
guine, but the year's figures of exports
trade In cotton goods are still favorable.
Improved conditions are still reported In
the footwear market, but some lines con
tinue neglected. Heavy staples are selling
well and shipments from Boston show an
Increase. Heavy trading characterized the
packer hide market. Trading In sole leather
has Improved appreciably, many fair-sized
aies Deing ma ue in the Boston market,
where stocks of union hemlock and oak are
low.

victory for labor will mean a victory for

the appeal and annul sentences It will

"If It should sustain the decision of Jus

In the land to obtain a final word as to the
Judicial conception of existing constitu

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Bnslaess Is Buoyant and Factories
Are Working Overtime.
NEW YORK. Oct. 29.-Bradstreefs to
morrow will say:
Trade as a whole Is good, or better, the
former word. In fact, being hardly suf
ficient to characterize the buoyancy and
breadth of demand shown In many lines.
Industry, In turn, responds with advices
or iuu manufacturers order books, full or
overtime runs, and general reports of an
Insufficiency of labor to meet require
ments. Altogether, the situation Is very satis
factory and the rate of Improvement In
the late months of the year promises to
h'-c uiose to mo iront in the list of
years of prosperity.
wnne mild weather has tended to retard
retail trade In some sections of the north
west, the general report Is that the ad
vance of the season and the marketing of
the year's crops Is bringing out a large
volume of trade In the country districts.
while enlarging payrolls, fall fMtivni nH
5tte.. falr" re a" hoping; to stimulate
distribution In the cities.
Jobbing trade keeps pace with and in
some cases exceeds final distribution as
regards encouraging reports, clothing, mil
linery, shoes and kindred lines all reporting
good demand In spite of the generally
very high range of values of all commo
dities. Early reports as to holldav trpd
are also good. Spring trade Is reported of
good volume, and it Is noted that while
advances In prices of cotton goods are still
a Draico on tuiiest activity in these lines,
the general movement even here 1h tnmd
enlarged sales.
A number of mills announce shorter time
In operations, the coast products showing
the most strain. Iron and steel are being
produced In large volume, though some ad
vices of ease In pig Iron are noted.

were begun In the United States district

on the demurrer filed by Governor Charles
N. Haskell and the five other defendants
under Indictment In the Muskogee town lot
fraud. The defendants pleaded the statute
of limitations.
H. E. Asp, for the defense, argued that
the statute of limitations began operation
from the time of the first alleged overt
act, citing Judge Holt's recent decision
In the New York sugar cases, Instead of the
last overt act, as contended by the gov
ernment. The defense argued further that
as the Indictments charge the defendants
with no overt acts, conspiracy cannot be
established.

WITTEN ANSWERS LOUIS HILL
Land Official Says Great Northern
Magnate Is Misinformed or
Mistaken. t
ABERDEEN, S. D., Oct 29 Judge James
W. Wltten, superintendent Of government
land openings, speaking today of tha at
tack made on the method of these open
ings by Louis W. Hill, president of the
Great Northern railroad, at the' Billings
Dry Farming congress, remarked that Mr.
Hfll waa misquoted or misinformed, as he
would not have made such "grossly ex
travagant statements" had he known the
facts.
Mr. Hill Is reported as having called the
recent Flathead, Coeur d'Alene and
Spokane registration a "swindle" and said:
"It Is estimated that 800,000 people went
out there. We received our portion of the
money, but we do not want that kind of
money."
"These figures are grossly misleading,"
said Judge Wltten. "Tha combined regis
tration for all three was but 286,848, and
one-third of that number, or 96.916, repre
sents the number of applicants if each had
registered three times."
