little interference to production. An
nual balances and repairs have been
well advanced with brief loss of time,
and the activities generally progress
under the encouraging influence of a
promising outlook. Prices of all raw
material sustain the high level recent
" attained, and bid fair to maintain
continued tirmness. Important COM
roitments already have been closed in
manufacturing branches and new bust
ness structures, while inquiries show
that heavy orders impend in iron and
steel departments, rolling stock and
railroad construction.

bookings of spring staples, which COM
pare favorably with the aggregate

dry goods, clothing, footwear and
household needs. Interior advices re-
fleet enlarged sales last year, and sat-
isfactory reduction OF stocks, suggest
ing that replenishment will be upon
liberal scale.

fined to clearances, the more winter
