Good progress by most crops
strengthens belief in favor of an ad-
vance of trade following the compara-
tive quiet and inactivity. Among the
industries quietness and even dullness
is still the feature, but rather more is
doing in the leather trade, foreshadow-
ing later developments in the shoe
business, and the productions Of iron
and steel is being steadily curtailed,
with resulting firmer tone to pig
iron prices.
Several basic industries still show
little tendency to relieve. Notable
among these is soft coal mining, which
is very much depressed, and it is to
be noted that the demand for anthra-
cite coal is not so active as hereto.

fiscal year much better than earlier
expected, and it is probable this will
show the heaviest volume of gross and
net earnings reported. War weather
helped trade as whole and has facil-
itated bargain sales, which has been
a feature at number of cities.
