Restraint upon business through tariff
uncertainty is virtually at an end and
merchants and manufacturers appear to
be of hopeful disposition. Expansion
is not general rs yet, but signs of trade
revival gradually are becoming more ap-
parent and less heSitancy is shown in pro-
viding for forward requirements.
The low position of merchandise stocks
throughout the country is one of the most
encourag ging features. the growing de-
mands necessitate increased purchases to
replenish depleted supplies. With the ap-
proach of the fall season advices from
teh leading centers record quckened

ume of sales n most instances being in
excess of last years.
