staples at the former report increased volumes
OF business in clothing, millinery, shoes, hard
ware and other leading lines. with new stocks
ordered In many instances, a better feeling In
trade circles and only better weather
Is required to satisfy dealers The
report from st. Louis covers similar ground
and In addition states that the volume of trade
is In excess OF that ut o like period In 1893
when the volume was the largest on record.
Activity among manufacturers of machinery
and agricultural implements there is also
marked.
AT the west and northwest, aside from re-
ported gains at Chicago and St. Louis, St Paul

Is little animation and no other new features
