More than 100000 freemen went TO

The presidency this year was fought for
as desperately as ever in the country 5

business in most lines of dry goods, wear

view of the near approach of the presi-
Dental election, is undoubtedly an ele-
ment exercising considerable influence,
but a conspicuous exception to this is
found in the reawakening of demand and
the advances in prices shown in the iron
trade in widely separated sections. This
IS really one of the most important de-
velopments of the week and is taken as
indicating not only that confidence is felt,
but that consumers stocks are down to a
