ROANOKE, va, FEBRUARY 3. 1894

One cannot help but rema,king time
and time again how admirably Roanoke
is located to attract the attention of r
large number of Northerners who are
travelling Southwark, or Westeners
who are bound Eastward, on their trips
for pleasure or business, Many tim es
recently the city has entertained large
parties OF tourists, mostly business men
on pleasure outing, and from ali we
have been able to learn these people
have been most favorably impressed
with ourcity. Such impressions getting
abroad will result in our favor in the
future. One little favorable view may
work out wonders for us when the in
coming tide of prosperity gets moro i'm
petuous in its flow.

FRESH IMPROVEMENT NOTICE.

A fresh improvement has been given
to business this week. reports Dun's
review of trade, by the success of the
Treasury in obtaining gold for it's re-

us ability to maintain gold payments.
Revenue had fallen Off so much and the
prospects for the loan looked SO un-
favorable until financial institutions
decided to carry it through, that anxiety
about the monetary future was natural.
investments in the ordinary sense
have been affected very little, and while
more demand for time loans has ap.
peared the money N arket cannot be ex.

Gradual improvement in business ex.
plains the appearance of moro comm er-
cial paper in the market this week than
has been seen for long time, though
as yet the vast accumulation of idle
funds is proof enough that trade has by
no means regained normal proportions
Industrial recovery continues, though it
is but gradual, in response to the demand
of a people whose consumption at its
lowest is greater than that of any other
country, and more mills are now at
work.
Larger demand for structural iron
and steel, for railway materials, except
railroads, for barbed wire and especially
for wire nails and wire rods, gives a
better look to the iron industry both
East and West. Chicago notes distinct
