Current trade shows distinct gain in

"A wholesome growth, without the

OF prices, is commercial condition

Fall trade is now well under way,

while mercantile payments are unusually
prompt for the season. There is a steady
consumption of groceries and other staple

distribution is vigorous.
Manufacturing plants in the leading
industries receive large orders, heavy
