The weeks payments through the chief
clearing houses are 621 per cent. larger

the daily average is $40 per cent. larger
than last year and 664 per cent larger

the fact that supplies are for the time
less than the demand. The largest and
best works are catching up with their
orders though much behind and obliged
to refuse many. while others are enter

Boots and shoe shipments are 2l.0

as they desire. Leather is half a cent
