Favorable symptoms are more

especially in respect to the growth OF
confidence. Jobbers note more pres
sure to replenish depleted stocks OF
staple merchandise, orders in many
cases being for delivery next fall. The
advancing season has also contributed
to the better feeling by acceleratinp
the distribution of spring goods and
stimulating interest in the building
trades.
Industrial plants are more active
pig iron production rising to the best
weekly average in three months
Credits are still closely scanned aud
mercantile collections are by no means
satisfactory, yet payments are more
prompt and the volume of business Is
distinctly heavier.
There is question of permanence

and furnaces into the active list, while
