cate tendency to a more general

months. 1t is true that there is con-
siderable complaint of dullness and of
slow collections in some places, but

South, in sympathy with the whole
country, is entering upon period of
renewed activity, the full force of
which viii not, however, be seen
until after the first of the year, and
possibly not until after spring.

them, are $1,000 plow mannfac-
turing company at Temple, Texas !;

doubtless increase from week to week.

'ered for the activity in industrial
nd trade interests, and if this prove
rue, the South will inevitably share
this renewed prosperity"
