DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Proof
Accumulate of Developing
National Prosperity.
NEW YORK, Sept 28.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade today says:
Proof accumulates on every hand of a
developing national prosperity, whole
some and quite independent of contro
versial issues that usually breed uncer
tainty and hesitation.. Many years have
passed since there has been such unanim
ity of testimony as to the widening of
business activity. Even some of the lines
which have been lagging are now devel
oping the same progressive Bplrlt, which
for some time has existed in the iron
and steel industry and is making that
trade break all previous records. Con
sumption has not only overtaken pro
duction," but is rapidly pressing ahead of
it and in same Important polntsrfccarclty
or. xaciuues, scarcity or labor and scar'
city of transportation appear as the ln
evltable accompaniment of an aoeumU'
latins demand.
In the iron and steel trade the ores-
sure in the market for deliveries is re
flected, in the sharp demand tor pig Iron
this week, quotations tending higher and
the market as a whole being in a very
strong position. Orders continue to come
in freely and the mills are provided
practically to the close of the year.
Much difficulty is still experienced in
meeting the demand. Merchant Dice.
steel bars and sheets are in urgent re
quest and the movement of plates ' and
shapes is heavy. Heavy buying of rails
for next year's delivery continues. As
the .present need for new uoplles Is ur
gent the outlook for the new year is
particularly promising. Crude Steel ma
terial is scarce and premiums are paid
'for immediate dellvnrv.

branches of the trade larger, than last

i NEW YORK, Sept 28.-Bradstreefs to
day says:
'iBJS?,!i4u,n Per?00. by niall order or
through the medium of road sales main-
Jl!2w5Uv,?r in 0,8 various lines of
distributive trade. Shipments on orders
previously booked are going forward In
volume, and one of the most significant
features of the general situation Is the
Insistent call for prompt deliveries, which
Indicates that stocks do not lag super
fluous on purveyors' shelves. In a host
of lines one hears the expression that con
ditions as regards sales are better than
for years past Withal, buyers are not
making large forward commitments,
probably fearing future political develop
ments, but within the week purchasing
of heavy winter goods became more ani
mated. A touch of frost In parts of the
west, northwest and southwest was the
stimulating factor.
The shortage of cars is becoming more
noteworthy and some coal mines in the
west have been compelled temporarily to
cease operations until cars can be re
ceived. Industrial operations are moving
along at a brisk rate. Steel plants are
well sold ahead and as a general rule no
more qrders can be taken for delivery
this year. Buying of bars for 1918 is go
ing forward and pig irons are higher.

Sir Edward Carson is First to Affix
His Signature.
UUION BELIGIOUS SEEVICE HELD
Sermon la Preached by Presbyterian
Clerg-yman, Who Declares Home
Rule BUI U Aimed at
All Proteatant.
BELFAST, Ireland,' Sept 28.-SIr Ed-
ward Carson today wrote his name as the
flm to sign the solemn covenant of the
Ulster men which forever binds them to
use all the means that may be found
necessary to defeat the present conspiracy
to set up Dome rule In Ireland," and also
to refuse to recognize the authority of an
Irish parliament. He was followed by
thousands of the rank and file of the
Orangemen and unionists In the northern
province of Ireland.
Ulster day, the Orangemen's culminat
ing day of protest against home rule,
opened with an absolute calmness that
rendered unionists and home rulers alike
apprehensive as to what might happen
The people of Ireland, even those re
sponsible for today's signature of the
formidable "league and covenant," had
looked forward to the day's happenings
with misgiving.
The weather was doubtful early In the
day, but before the Uuster men had begun
to gather for the religious services which
preceded the signing of the covenant,
sunshine flooded the streets.
The town was gaily decorated, the
union Jack being everywhere predomi
nant, one huge national flag enveloping
the facade of Ulster hall, the center of
today's proceedings.
Shopa and Factories Cloae.
Most of the shops and all the big In
dustrial works were closed, so that every
man desiring to do so might be able to
participate In the manifestation.
The spirit of unity prevailing among
the Protestant denomination was Illus
trated by the selection of the officiating
vlergyman. Rev. W. McLean, formerly
Presbyterian moderator, preached the ser
mon, and he was assisted in the services
by ministers belonging to the Anglican,
Methodist, Baptist and Congregational
churches. Sir Edward Carson sat at the
right of Mr. McLean and the lord mayor
of Belfast at his left.
A semi-military aspect was not lacking In
the meeting, as 200 picked stalwart mem
bers of the unionist clubs and Orange
lodges, wearing bright sashes, acted as
a guard of honor, standing around the
pulpit, while BOO of what is known as the
"reserve guard" occupied seats In the
gallery.
The great congregation waa unable to
restrain Itself as notable personages can
Into the hall. Among the first was Lord
Charles Berseford, who was greeted with
a loud cheer. Captain James Craig, the
unionist member for East Down, reminded
the audience that the service was a re
ligious one and said 61r Edward Carson
wished it to be -looked upon as such in the
real sense of the word.
When Sir Edward Carson and Frederics:
EL- Smith arrived, however, the people
forgetful of the appeal that bad been
made, again broke into cheers, which
continued as the two leaders proceeded ti
the platform behind the Orange flag of
the Battle of the tioyne, presented to oil
Edward Canon In such a dramatic man
ner last evening.
Cheers for Sermon.
The service opened with the hymn, "O,
God, Our Help In Ages Past," after
which a short praper was offered and an
appeal made to the Almighty to "Stretch
forth Thy arms and help us In this time
of national danger." The first lesson was
taken from Isaiah xxvi, 1-9, "We have
a strong city," etc.
Rev. W. McLean's sermon roused the
audience to another burst of cheering,
which was surpressed from the pulpit
Dr. McLean declared the Irish question
at bottom was a war against Protestant
ism and an attempt to establish Roman
Catholic ascendancy In Ireland and begin
the disintegration of the British empire
by securing a second parliament in Dub.
lln. Ulster men were ready, he said, to
accept almost any program of social and
political reform, but they would not have
home rule.
The service concluded with the singing
of the National anthem.

duty throughout the week to answer, any
questions that may be put to htm about
the habits and feeding grounds of the
different birds, while at various periods
