should be considered the logical after
math of the protracted depression in
speculative channels rather than any
evidence of current weakness in the in
dustrial or trade situation. Funds were
quickly forwarded 10 the disturbed cen
ters and confidence promptly restored,
although it WAS impossible to prevent
some contraction of business. Numer-
Gus labor controversies have appeared,
and more furnaces and mills have closed,
the tendency being TO operate only the
plants provided with the most modern
equipment. There is no anxiety regard
ing legislation at the special session Of
Congress, and, despite the curtailment
of activity IN many manufacturing lines,
heavy volume of business is being
transacted.
