O. nuns weekly review of trado tomorrow will way: ""here Is a continuance of former mixed conditions of trade and Industry, which is less pronounced In productive sections than In the distributing markets. It shows most clearly in the speculative and financial centers, which are exceedingly sensitive to political Influ ences. It is felt In Home Industries more than others, there being an uneven develop ment of trade. But In uplte of the reaction, a vast aggre gate of business Is being carried on, making a really high average of transactions. The profit of commerce, however, Is not so evident as its volume, the margin between cost and price being narrowed and leading In some cases, notabiy In cotton spinning, to sus pension of operations. While conservatism among* buyers make* for purchases limited to current needs, yet there is no sign of any col lapse of confidence, the crops are turning out much better than was feared, the banks are In a secure position, and there Is for the most part a more optlmlstto feeling. Some check to the recent rapid decline In pig Iron production Is Indicated by the returns covering the output during August, showing the smallest total since July, 1909, compared closely with the figures for the previous month. Reports from leading Jobbers of dry goods Indicate a steadier distribution, but the volume of business Is sttll below that of recent rfctlve years. Mills making cotton goods are still conservative In their desire to operate for ftock goods, and curtailment is going on stead ily. Borne export business Is being done with Australia, the Philippines and South America, but trade with the far east Is dull. Distinct Improvement is noted In the demand for silks, and the yarn trade Is on a steadier footing. f\>otwoar trading continues quiet. Jobbers are working cautiously ant 3 wholesalers hold off for lower prices. Trade In leather is quiet, and though some Increase In the demand was noted a week or so ago, no further improve ment has since occurred.

SADDLERY LIVES IN WRONG HOUSE; MUST PAY TWO RENTS Queer Mistake of Tenant Gets Him Mixed Up with Landlord SOUTH NORWALK, Conn., Sept, 9. —After living In a house for the past ten months and paying his rent regu larly each month, Emanuel Gainer dis covered today that ho has been paying rent to the wrong man for the wrong house—the house "next door" to the one he has been occupying, but half a mile away from It. Now the man who owns the house in which Gainer la dwelling demands ten months' rent, which Gainer refuses to pay, remarking rather peevishly: "A man can't live in two houses at once, can he? He can't have two roofs over his head at the same time, can he? I have heard of men who lived •double lives.' If they had lived In the two houses at the same time they would never have got in the divorce court." All sorts of complications may result from Gainer's mistake. He swears he will sue the man to whdm he has paid rent to recover it. And It was a nat ural mistake. Gainer has lived in big cities where any one who rents a house is told defi nitely that he is leasing No. Such-and -Buch on So-and-So street. He came here last fall and rented a house without seeing it. There is no number on the houso. Gainer thought he followed the minute directions he received ns to its appearance and lo cality—and moved in the wrong house. He took the rent to the man who owns the house that Gainer thought he was occupying. This man never went near his house during the ten months be muse he was perfectly satisfied with Gainer's promptness in paying rent. The man who owns the house in which Gainer lives had several appli cants who wished to rent it, he says. He sent them to look at it, empty, as he thought, and they found it occu pied. Angry as they must have been, they never went back to the landlord; presumably because they feared they would start something and land In a police court instead of In a happy home. Now the landlord to whom Gainer paid rent for the empty house vows he will hold on to the money because, he says, If he had not rented the house to Gainer he could have rented it half a dozen times over in ten months. FOR HIS COUNTRY'S SAKE "Father," she said as she laid her soft cheek upon the stern old man's breast, "the count refuses to have me unless you will add $500,0p0 to my dowry." "I refuse to give another cent." "But, father, if he doesn't marry me he will take some chorus girl." "Good heavens! In that rase I'll yield.
