terests which usually buy summer and
fall supplies in June are restricting
their purchases TO any extent. Manu-
faeturers OF implements, tools and Wag-
ons. engines, boilers, wires, ETC., have

there were no depression. The maui
featuring public have so far discounted
the present depression, believing that
there is a safe way out, and that Iali
and winter requirements will reach the
usual magnitude. The present depres-
sion is peculiar in this, that il is not due
To oyer-prOduction, OYer-trading or
weak industrial condition. Apart from
the temporary weakness, or rather fright
of banks, credits are good. Besides, pro-
ductiOn is within safe limits. Stocks
are moderate; cOnSumptive require
ments are heavy. The country, rela-
lively speaking, is freer from debt than
