While distribution displays more ir-
regularity, manufacturing industries,
with few exceptions, continue very ac-
tive. Mild weather retards business
in part of the Northwest and the Ohio
Valley. The leading lake cities, how
ever, show improvement in most lines
and in collections. Wholesale distri-
button, as usual at this season. tends
to quietness, though in excess of year
ago. Western jobbers fall to report an
active recorder movement in staples,
but holiday trade is progressing favor
ably and promises, with favorable
weather, to reach large total.
