Mr.. q. A. Mistrot, Of Mistrut Bros. 81
Co.. Trade Is beginning to show some
Improvement, and today's business is es-
rrcialiy good. From personal observation
notice that the people generally are re-
covering from their scare, confidence Is
being restored, and the prospects for busi-
ness from now on are very cheerful we
had several customers today from AWE.
They say that the people down there were
very much worked up, but now that IL has
been proven conclusIvey that there Is not
a suspIcious case OF sickness In the state
they are treasured. and We expect good
trade from now on in that section.
.'Busness," he continued, will undoubt-
edIy revive with the beginning OF the com
Ing week. Things were so gloomy last
week that on Tuesday We wired our New
York and Boston representatives to cancel
all orders, but we are today instructng
them to again place the orders and have
the goods forwarded"

Mr.. G. +. Parker, OF Parker & Archer.
''ln actual receipts we can hardly show any
particular Improvement. but from the gem
eral feeling expressed by.all with whom I
have come In contact It is evident that tho
scare Is all over, and commencing Monday
morning we look for a marked increase In
sales. Continued warm weather. In my
opinion, has greatly injured business, ant
believe a little cold snap would make
great many forget the yellow foyer scare.
