the prosperous condition of the agri-
cultural sections, and the bright outlook

tons progress win receive a severe
check If the purchasing power of vast
army of wage earners continues TO de-
crease. Iron workers at Valley furn-
aces have received higher wages. and
other settlements were made by various
concessions, but the situation in the
Pennsylvania coal region is unchanged.

fully explained by the loss of stock
trading, while at other leading cities
there was decrease of only 5.3 per
a gain of 1858 per cent, in comparison
with 1899, the largest record prior to
last year. Railway earnings in May
were ST. per cent larger than last year
and 21.7 per cent above those of 1900.
There continues to be wide discrep-
ancy between the amount of business
offered and the contracts closed in
many branches of the iron and steel in
dustry, owing to the inability of pro-
ducers to assure delivery at a specified
time. Consumers are often unable to
get products ordered many months ago,
and the most unfavorable feature OF the
situation is the possibility that plans
will be abandoned rather than deferred.
Contracts running we'll into next year,
however, indicate that the end of ac-
tiyity is not near. Pressure is still

implement works are crowded with or

mote deliveries, but current business is
