BUSINESS NOTES.

With the opening of navigation Man
istee is experiencing a renewal Of bus
mess activities, and the season looks
fairly encouraging. Wages are less
than last year, but there seems TO be
no dearth OF employment. The lead
ing business men of the city show a
spirit of confidence in the present and
hopefulness for the near future.
Nearly all the Cadillac mills are run
ming full time, stocks are about nor
NAL, and orders for the better grades
OF mill stuffs are coming in with great
er frequency every day. Much dis
agreement Is shown as to the effects
OF the new dry laws, but the prepon-
derence OF opinion seems to be that
general business will be improved by
the diversion of moneys usually spent
for liquor into the regular trade chan
nels.
Muskegon's leading business men
are of the firm belief that, with the
exception OF last year, they will ex-
perience the most prosperous year of
their existence since the days when
pine was king.
The financial stringency has affected
the farmer but little to his disadvan-
tage, and Clare county, which is a
fine farming country, is prospecting.
Merchants say that collections are
normal and cash plentiful.
The Boyne factories are all running,
and while the labor supply is ample,
there seems to be no great overplus.
Wages of course are lower than last
season, and as a result trade has
Stacked off considerably.
Spring finds the majority of Alpena
mills with large stocks on hand. and
demand light. The belief is that the
summer will be quiet. logging opera
tons will be restricted and production
will be considerably curtailed.
