sion. Profits AFRO not very large, but they
are remuncrative, and tho consumption is
heavy and increasing. Money Is In
abundance for legitimate traders, and rates
have higher tendency; yet some OF the
New York banks have refused large de-
posts OF Government money. Foreign
exchange is firm at an advance OF half a
cent per pound sterling on the rates OF last
week, but the leading European markets
are without any special feature. Railroad

the third week Of February, that, though
there arc quite number that fall behind
yet on the seventy six roads reporting as n

the Same week last year, which is the more
satisfactory that in this week last year
there WIS gain OF 1914 per cent. on sixty
