that In some directions In the great In

politics and the strike are settled. Dis
tribution OF merchandise at the west Is
stlll very active. The working force
Is increasing steadily, and In railroad
and manufacturing circles In the mid
die west. scarcity OF labor Is causing
uneaslness. Fear of tight money has
made some men hesitate. but higher
rates result from the activity OF the
movement OF cotton at high prices In

ment OF gold from Europe has tended
to relieve the tension In New York, and
