weekly review of trade will say tomorrow:
BY far the best assurance of good business
in the future is found in the good advances
of wages The general rise in the earnings
of the cotton mill operatives, in most cases
10 per cent. and of iron and steel workers,
generally 10 per cent and tin plate and sheet
workers from to 10 per cent, and OF coal
miners in some large districts about as much
has set a pace which most establishments will
follow which have reduced wages in the past
years of depression. Those who fail to COM
prehend what such a change may mean have
only to consider that 10 per cent increase in
the wages of all labor would put into the
markets a new buying demand. in amount
equal to about three-quarters of the entire
of business shows no signs of decrease and
