of which have had a marked effect in de-
pressing trade. The feature is that Of a
moderate improvement In business at Nor

not particularly significant, inasmnch as tho
gain at Cleveland is characterized as fair

Pittsburgh does not appear to be any more
pronounced. Kansas City furnishes the
most emphatic statement as to Better trade
with increasing activity.
Beyond these more favorable features the

calls for comment. Concessions Of higher
wages by eastern mills are announced.
