Money has hardened at number of
cities, but collections still lag.
Especially active lines of trade are
dry goods, shoes and clothing, notably
at the West. Lumber, hardware, paints
and oils reflect the approach of an ac-
tive building season. and hides and
leather are active and firmer at lead
ing West and Eastern markets. Farm
machinery and implement dealers re-
port the demand active in the North
west.
The remarkable feature is the con-
tinuance Of the heavy inquiry for all
kinds of iron and steel, crude and fin
ished. Light on this matter is fur
nished by reports that railroad build
ing this year will be the heaviest for
years. The opinion is increasing that
the present insistent demand may
force prices higher and beyond the line
