Manufacturers have good supplies on hand a rule and do not appear inclined tc increase their holdings while the uncertain conditions exist. Outside conditions are firm but at present no one appears disposed to buy, and to force sales on the present mar ket liberal concession in values would have to be made The fact is that cares to buy at present, and at such time 1t is poor policy to attempt to sell.
