ed strength.
In other lines Of industry activity is
the rule and labor scarcity is a cause
of complaint from manufacturers,
and lumber men. Collections show
some improvement at the west and are
slightly better at the south.
Especial activity is noted here In
wholesale circles in cotton fabrics
which tend upward on stronger raw
material prices. Spring trade is re-
ceiving increased attention and goods
are already noted.
