An examination of recent statistics re-
garding available supplies of wheat IN

sales have been stimulated by warmer
weather. AT Philadelphia the textile
Industries report sluggish demand,
although sales of paint and glass are in
fair volume. and anthracite coal sells

evidences Of Improvement in business
are to be perceived, except those tele-

are that wheat aud oats crops in
that state will be small, but that

st. Louis which for weeks has reported
quite favorable features. Business at
Detroit has been helped by better
weather, and at Louisville drugs are
more active, and the manufacturing of
Jeans Is holding its own. There is no
improvement from the depression and

Cleveland, Cincinnati, Milwaukee and
ST Paul. At Portland, Or, floods are
