favorable than further north. and failures are
favorable reports continue to come from the
textile industries. Wool is quiet and manu-

but prices betray the unsettling influences OF
low prices for the raw material and print
cloths are slightly weaker. Activity in iron

similar conditions reported abroad. Talk
Of further moderate advances in prices has
increased, particularly as this country is the
cheapest market for iron and steel in the
world The export trade in pig iron from
Southern points continues very heavy and n
other advance of Is cents Is reported by some
large Southern concerns. An improved foreign
demand for American cereals is shown in the
