large trade. Prices of commodities

cotton crop has begun to move freely.
Each week the situation as to iron

tensive addition to productive capacity

many new plants ready to start next

The feature of the week was the
placing of enormous orders for steel

greetings, such as two English-speaking
men meeting in a foreign country might
exchange. the American asked DIR. Wat

claimed the American in tones of I'M
feigned disgust. You don't want to. go
there. I've just come away. It's a slow
town. Why. there isn't daily newspa-
per in the whole place!''
Another is to the effect that one day
tall. thin. alert man followed his card
into Ian Maclarens" study with such
rapidity that he had barely time TO read
it before his visitor was in the room.
