business Of the country. Pittsburg held
the eighth position, being next to Balti-
more and ahead of Cincinnati. The steady
accumulation of deposits is . sure indica-

sales, although the latter footed up re-

favorable signs shows that about all that is
necessary to rally in all lines of activity
is good weather to solidify the country
roads and give farmers access to the
markets.
