Lower temperature stimulates retail

enough to menace late crops that are

Df a successful season on the farms
contributes mre than any other sin

felt in all sections of the country.
Manufacturing activity is fully main
tained, the leading, authorities having
contracts assuring little Idle machinery
during the balance of the year, and
it is probable that more business will
be carried over into 1906 than at the
opening of any previous year. Septem

iron and steel industry. At the start"!
the output of pig iron was somewhat

finished steel were inactive. In favor

railway supplies, business was beyond
there was improvement in the quiet
lines. Sales of pig iron began to at

tvith a tonnage- that will probably
eclipse all monthly records. The o'nly
cloud on the horizon is the upward
tendency of quotations, capacity of
plants is also being enlarged in a man

when excessive prices check consump

this season in the primary markets for
textile fabrics, but the lull is much
less marked than usual. Mills and
factories have orders ond hand assur

"All matter which is manifestly ob
scene, lewd or lascivious will, when
deposited in a postoffice, be withdrawn
from the mails and sent to the dead
letter office."
The acting postmaster genera.1 an
nounces that under this rule every pos
tal card bearing a picture or language
that is obscene, indecent or improperly
suggestive should be immediately
withdrawn from the mails and for
warded without delay to the first as
sistant postmaster general.
rants were issued upon voluntary oaths
and information was furnished to So
licitor Jones from which several in
dictments and true bills resulted. This
started the ball rolling, and feeling in
creased with great rapidity.
Those who furnished the information
and made oath to the warrants were
in turn indicted and warrants and in
