Rusiness After the Fourth

''It is generally believed in commercial circles that business will be far more active in the last half of the year than if was in the first half," said Richard T. Reynolds of Chicago. "1n some sectohs of the west business was not as active Ill May and June as it usually is. In fact the bulish feeling which usually starts up in the west has been more in eVi- dence in New York recently than 1t has been beyond the Mississippi. Trade will be quiet until after the Fourth of July. II will be the middle of the month perhaps before trade becomes really brisk through out the country. The splendid crops will certainly keep business a-going after IL gets in full swing.
