that the panic was checked. The

women have been laid off or put on

find their labor curtailed by reasons
which they cannot control.

The money situation continues unsat-

showing a rising tendency, but are
still far below what they should be

our railroads are still prosperous, en-
joying large traffic at good rates; and
many shares are. in view of the rates

steady hardening of values, provided
