CHICAGO.

The sustained improvement in bust
ness is emphasized by high aggre-
gate of payments through the banks,
smaller trading defaults, and widen
ing demands upon productive capac-
ity and transportation facilities
Tariff revision as an accomplished
fact removes some uncertainties and
the way is made easier to decide upon
new projects. Iron and steel condi-
tions have entered upon a most en-
couraging outlook, and the success of
that industry imparts strength to
many other industrial branches.
Factory outputs begin to approach
the best previous records. The aggre-
gate of new demands for finished
products assures increasing employ
ment of facilities and labor, although
the subject of adequate profits may
for time cause some hesitaney in
commitments. Movements of commod-
tiles are seen to be steadily expanding
and high temperatures cause wide
spread supplementary buying in the

An expected advance in some costs
has brought increased activity in
wholesale lines of general merehan-
disc. the attendance of visiting mer-
chants being far above the numbers,
usual at this season. Crop reports,
remain uniformly good, particularly
as to corn, and this prospect of an
unprecedented addition to the pur-
chasing power is construed as favor

SALMON CATCH PROVES IMMENSE

Fish So Many That Washington Cam
neries Cannot Handle Them.
Countless thousands of salmon are
being permitted to ascend to their
spawning grounds without hindrance
from fish traps, which have been lift
ed, says a dispatch from Bellingham,
Wash. While the canneries are glutted
with fish, dozens of scows are along
side loaded with salmon and tows are
coming in with long strings of fish
laden barges. 1t is proving an impos-
sibility to handle the catch. The price
of sockeyes has fallen to 10 cents each.
