To the commercial world the meaning

To rehabilitate the shattered forces
of the lately contending nations there
may be temporary stimulation in the
demand for necessary materials, such
as this nation can promptly furnish.
But more important will be the adj
vantages permanently accruing from
the spirit of progress in the Orient

involving greater consumption of prod

are obtained in this city.
Other important factors of the week
have been gratifying, and the volume
of trade is well reflected by sustained
gain in bank exchanges and augmenta-
ton in both production and volume Of
new demands. The Commercial Asso-
citation registration of visiting buyers
exceeds 1,200 names. No such record
ever before was compiled, and it testi-
fies to the effective work now being
done by that organization. This enor-
nous influx includes merchants from
no less than twenty of the States and
Territories, and it is notable that a
number are from Ohio, New York and
Canada. 1t is not surprising that the
