The agreement to arbitrate the differ-

tlon. The expansion in bank credits, es-
pecially in the West. the large output Of
new securities In April. and the nHm-
Der OF new incorporations-both greatly
IN excess OF last year-the notable de-
mand for steel products and cotton and
woolen goods. and the statistics OF traf-
fic and elearings. all reflect a growth in
business. Reports from the leading trade
centers reveal improving conditions, ex-
cept In those cities. chiefly In the East.
where the weather was unfavorable.
THE active railroad demand for rails
and cars continues and the demand for
structural materials is strong. with pro-
duction now not far from capacity. The
large trade in cotton goods makes an ex-
traordinary contrast with the depression
that existed last year. Business IN WOOL
en- and worsted goods Is notably active.
Labor troubles seem to have disappeared

is one OF progressive activity and strength
