THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
The Slow But Percept;bIe Widening
of Trade Continues.

The Slow But Percept;bIe Widening
of Trade Continues.
The weekly trade reviews note a
further improvement in general
business, though buying is still
principally for needs of the i'm
mediate future, and buying for re-
quirements of the late winter and
spring is conducted conservatively.
Dun's say:
Both in business confidence and in
volume of business transactions the
situation continues to improve. The
gain is very gradual and conserva-
tive, and there is lttse disposition to
go beyond satisfaction of immediate
wants-but it is a gain; and the sig
nificant thing is tnat this improve
ment has now been maintained for
several weeks. The cessation of dis
turbing international difficulties, the
easier conditions OF late international
money markets, the growing convic-
tion that domestic economic prob
lens are shaping themselves for the
better and the pressing need of do
ing something to replenish depleted
stocks. all contribute to the improve
ment which is being achieved.

tumultuously greeted by an audience
