tarded this week by unseasonably mild
weather and the interruption of an
other holiday, but as manufacturers
extend operations confidence is
strengthened by the receipt of larger
contracts for future delivery and many
inquiries that have promised to mature
in something more tangible. Postpon-
ed orders of all kinds are being placed.
reports from every prominent indus
try are that idle mills are reopening
and the number of operatives gradual
ly increasing. Cotton spinning makes
the slowest progress, but the statistical
positions steadily improve as stocks of
goods diminish and the raw material
draws nearer the point at which the
mills can operate profitably.
Other textile lines, footwear and
practically all branches of the iron and
steel industries are gaining strength
Activity is noted in the movement or
freight, while railroad returns furnish
ed thus far show a gain of per cent
over last years gross earnings.
