ise Of Marked Revival.
Bradstreets says; The second week OF the
uew year brings few reports Of an increasing
volume OF orders for seasonable goods.
Weather conditions In the East have been
unfavorable. Those West and South the ro-
verse. At some ccnters, II Is too early TO
judge OF the outlook Of trade. Travellers in
many instances have not all gone out wes.
tern furniture manufacturers ARE stocking up,
which has had an influence on the hardwood
trade, and Western dealers In iron and steel
expect Increased orders by February 1.
Production of iron and steel IL going on In

that necessary repairs, renewals and addi-

manufacturers and other industrial enter
