PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT.
Agricultural Sections Are Prosperous
and Other industries Must Share
in the Good Things.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
OF Trade says: Ease in the money
market, favorable crop prospects and
confidence abroad are the encourag-
ing factors which outweigh the dis
turbing elements of labor conflicts
and unreasonable weather for retail
trade at many points. Effects Of the
depressing influences are less keenly
felt because they are believed to be
only temporary and confidence Is ex-
pressed that with the resumption of
work and normal temperature there
will be a return to the liberal cistribu-
tion of merchandise. Despite the
short corn crop last year the large
yield of wheat and high prices for
both resulted in the greatest value for
the two crops ever recorded, which
means that the agricultural sections
are prosperous and both Industries
must share the good fortune by in
creased sales OF products. Efforts to
