feeling there Is that the Improvement will
be more pronounced soon Liberal exports
Of leather from Boston during the past few
months have relieved the market there and
~tradicd prices An increased movement of
farm stock at Atlanta and heavier demand
there for farm machinery and manufactured
products are reported.

have orders ahead while from Charleston
and other points word is received that the
cross roads trade at the South is health
