Every important development of the
week confirms the revival of trade
which set in even with the tariff under
discussion, and which has no vital OBJ
stacle to oppose it now that the tariff
bill has passed both houses of Congress
and has become law. The remarkable
recovery in the iron and steel trade
is of steadily progressive character

favorable. Grain crop news could
scarcely be better, the outlook foi

couraging. While the August state

The market for hides and leather is
still unsettled owing to price readjust,

advanced 10 per cent. or more and do
mestic hides have declined less than
