Statistics Slum- A Continued Im
provement Falling Off In Auguwt
Of PiickiiiK-IIoiise Products All
Railroads Now Handling Greater
Number Of Cars.
Washington, D. C. (Special). A
continued Improvement In the indus
trial situation of the country Is in
dicated by the reports of leading in
ternal commerce movements received
during the pust month by the Bureau
of Statistics of the Department of
Commerce and Labor. Unusually
largo movements of soft coal, coke,
and iron ore, a corresponding heavy
output of pig iron, and large shipments
of lumber to consuming centers area
few Indications of Increasing Indus
trial activity. The traffic activity of
the railroads, as measured by the
number of cars handled by tho prin
cipal car-service associations and de
murrage bureaus In various parts of
the country, for the first time shows
a larger total than for the correspond.
Ing month in 1907. The grain re
ceipts at the leading interior mar
kets were larger than during AugiiBt
In tho two previous years. The
movements of live stock and pro
visions, also of hard coal, continued
lighter than In former years.
Receipts of live stock during Au
gust at seven primary markets,
3,039,455 head, while considerably In
excess of the low July figures, were,
however, short of the AuguBt 1908
and 1907 figures of 3,232,441 and
3,130,225 head, all the Important
packing centers except Omaha show
ing smaller monthly totals than a
year ago. Of the total received, 857,.
622 head wene cattle, 94,774 calves,
1,093,495 hogs, 962,257 sheep, and
31,307 horses and mules.
Loss In I'm king-House Products.
The largest loss, as compared with
1908 figures, Is shown In the receipts
of hogs, while gains appear under
the head of cattle and sheep. The
receipts for the eight months ending
August, 24,oy,491 head, were like
wise below the corresponding totals
In the two preceding years, the
losses In tho receipts of hogs alone
amounting to 14 per cent., as com
pared with the corresponding 1908
figures. Smaller season receipts are
also shown for cattle, horses and
mules, while tho 1909 figures for
calves and sheep show small gains
over the corresponding 1908 totals.
The August shipments of packing
house products from Chicago, 181,
241,313 pounds, likewise fell below
the corresponding 1908 and 1907
shipments of 184,319,378 and 202,
266,960 pounds. Losses are shown
in the case of the principal products
except pickled beef, cured meats,
stearin, and tallow. The shipments
during the year to August 31, 1,378,
384,882 pounds, were below the like
shipments for tho period since 1903,
the largest losses occurring under
the head of fresh beef and lard, these
losses corresponding more or less to
the decreased exports of these arti
cles as reported by the bureau. The
eastward trunk-line movement of
provisions from Chicago during the
thirty-four weeks of the year, 607,
396 tons, shows an analogous de
crease compared with the correspond
ing 1308 and 1907 figures of 704,
068 and 764,042 tons.

Stands By Her Husband Most Of
B:ie Way And Is Delighted At The
Housing Reception.
New York (Special). New York
City and State gave Commander Rob.
ert E, Peary a welcome such as few
returning heroes can hope to receive.
From the bridge of his Arctic ship
Roosevelt Commander Peary with his
wife by his aide, was the most promi
nent feature of the 60 mile Hudson
Fulton naval parade from New York
to Newburg. All tho way land and
water vied with each other In
hurling their cheers of congratula
tion through the air to tho white
little ship, and the tall, military-looking
man Bmlled back his answer to
their greetings.
Meanwhile Captain Bartlett was
kept at work so incessantly with
the whistle cord answering the sa
lutes of passing craft that Chief En
gineer Warden called up from the
engine room that he would not have
steam enough to move the vesHol if
they did not stop the whistle.
Having successfully buffeted the
Ice packs of Smith Sound and proved
herself so stout a Bhip that no sea
or Ice floe could turn her back, the
Roosevelt picked out the most tran
quil part of the Hudwn, Just below
West Point, this afternoon, as the
scene for an accident to her steering
gear. Unostentatiously and without
warning she parted her port tiller
rope and came to a stop. The mishap
was quickly discovered by Comman
der Peary and anchor was dropped
while the rope was spliced. But
there wai a delay of nearly an hour
before the boat, proceeded toward
Newburgh.
"It has been most gratifying to
have taken part In tho parade," said
Commander Peary tonight, "and I
am deeply appreciative of the recep
tion that has been given the offi
cers and crew of the Roosevelt and
myself. It was magnificent."
Mrs. Peary also was delighted
with the fine welcome given by the
hundreds of marine craft, who show
ed themselves proud of the privi
lege of greeting her and her husband.
She smiled back her happiness in
response to each salute, whether
from a battleship or from a saucy
launch. Mrs. Peary had been deeply
apprehensive that the Cook contro
versy might chill the greeting to her
husband, but her fears were dispelled
when the Cetlus, the first of the long
line of crowded excursion steamers
to pass the Roosevelt, threw an echo
ing and re-echoing volley of huzzas
and cries of "Peary! Peary!" across
the water to the bridge where she
and Mr. Peary stood.
J. Plerpont Morgan, on his big
steam yacht Corsair, with a party
of friends, gave Commander Peary
and the Roosevelt a graceful greet
ing. Commodore Morgan eBpted the
Roosevelt off Stony Point and, in a
Jiffy, the signal quartermaster began
to lower the yacht ensign at the taff
rall. EX-MAYOR KBY SENTENCED.
