Trade Conditions.

Ii is peculiar fact, and one that is
only possible, perhaps, in the United
States, that we are confronted with q
difficult problem in attempting at this
time to give view of trade conditions
applicable to the whole country. II we
may use the term, trade conditions are
paradoxical. AS one informant relates,
it is very good in spots, and that about
describes the general aspect. From an.
other source we learn that numbers OF
dealers in the great middle West are
enlarging their plants, and putting in
modern manufacturing outfits. IN Chi
cago and other large cities the outlook
for building construction is better than
II has been for years, notwithstanding
labor difficulties and uncertainties But
il is also true that in many localities
dealers are seriously complaining and in
leading manufacturing districts numbers
of cutters are idle, and business for the
time being very slow. And yet the feel
ing is dominant that it will be but a
short time before revival sets in, a
probability distinctly encouraged by the
promise Of another bumper crop; and it
almost goes without saying that such
q promise materialized means big bus.

and Associate Justice Spear before
whom the case is being tried, decided
not 20 take up the arguments Of eoun-

important feature Of the testimony OF
