Midsummer Business Is unprecedentes

says:
Despite some irregularity, due to the
reoccurrence of corn damage reports
from the easten suplus- producing
states and the formal launching of the
much-heralded general steel workers
strike, the aggregate business the
country over seems to be of a good
and, in most sections, unprecedented
volume for this season of the year.
Changes noted fer the week have been
rather of tone than OF actual demand
and it is in this matter of tone or sem
timent that the favorable develop
ments have arisen All available
measures of supply, demand and
movement point to business done in
July having exceeded anything trans
acteu in any similar midsummer
montn. This, too, despite the axcep-
tionally hot weather, drought, strike
talk and similar conditions unfavor-
able to business extension.
