months late in spring pushed forward into

The jam of two months business into one
lifted prices. Then other orders came to
anticipate q further rise But the mid

somewhat uncertain how much improve

On the other hand, there has been an
enormous increase In the working force
and considerable increasein wages paid,
which enables people to buy more freely.
