E-I from prominent Western
centers reflect fairly active jobbing
trade, with pronounced hesitancy in
manufacturing lines, induced by the
growing uncertainties of the presiden-
tial campaign. Most branches Of dry
goods have not recovered from the eff
fects of a backward spring, wholesale
business in many sections averaging
below a year ago. In Oklahoma and
Indian Territory merchants are buying
less than usual, and in extreme por-
tions of Kansas and Missouri constant
rains are having a bad effect upon
business Lumber, paints and glass
are depressed in these and other Sec
tons where building operations have
been restricted by inclement weather.
Drugs have benefited as usual by con-
ditions that Cypress other branches of
trade.
The Kansas City district has been
held back by peculiar restrictions. In
this territory and other sections Of the
West merchants are hopeful about the
outlook and expect excellent June busi-
ness. Retail trade is picking up in
many sections, as is evidenced by the
better demand for women'S apparel.
Consumption Of necessities Il on the
increase and country merchants are
giving Chicago wholesale houses plenty
Of orders, indicating sustained in
terror demand.
Further serious embarrassment
threatens the transportation industry
on the Great Lakes, where the labor
difficulties are proving disastrous.
Very little improvement has been
noted in the steel industry, which con-
tinues exceptionally dull. Coke pro-
duction is still at maximum, but cur
tailment Is looked for, the outlook in
general giving little promise of greater
activity in the near future.
In the South trade is excellent, with
good inquiry for most lines of mer-
chandise. Railway traffic in Texas is
heavy and people are generally pros
porous.

Those who follow the RussO-Jap-

course of the European power in al
