Most Improvement Sentimental.

Improvement in mercantile condl-
tons beyond buying necessary to re-
plenish depleted stocks is still largely
a matter Of sentiment rather than Of
materially increased actual business
The general tendency is 10 keep a
rather short supply of goods on hand,
follow collections and await develop
ments. The expectation is for a rather
quiet year in mercantile lines.
Business failures are notably fewer
than in 1913, due doubtless to the
careful accounting Of the first Of the
year and some slight relaxation OF
credit strain. Moderate activity is re-
ported in drygoods markets. buyers
apparently expecting concessions from
present prices. Unseasonably warm
weather has continued its rather de-
pressing effect in many mercantile
lines and has resulted in q rather light
demand for coal, with curtailed mine
operations. Anthracite shipments for
January decreased over 10 per cent.
Building permits for January show
general increase. as compared with
January Of last year, though New
York City shows a decrease of over
Is per cent. Railway earnings are still
unsatisfactory. Bank clearings are
increasing. and in some measure prob
ably reflect activity in trade as well
&C IN sneculation
The best mercantile paper has been
in such active demand that the market
is practically bare in the larger finan-
cial centres, and in some exceptional
instances last week discounts were
made as low as 31a per cent. though
the banks here generally refused TO
quote lower than A. The flood Of
money released by the slowing up OF
the wheels Of commerce has as yet not
shown much sign Of flowing back into
trade. Official discount minimums in
Austria and Germany were lowered,
and the Bank of England is still hold
ing TO it's low figure of 3 per cent, with
an abnormally high percentage of re-
serve.

News was received Of a larger scale
Of increasing production Of iron and

vanced prices. Commercial agencies
told of a conservative increase In gen.
eral business. Interior bank clearings
we're larger and monetary ease showed
signs Of working out into general In
dustries through the wide buying OF
high grade commercial paper. The in
crease Of freight rates, however, gem
orally considered as one Of the condi-
lions precedent 10 the return Of COM
mercial activity on large scale.

Washington continues to manifest &C
tivity that may disturb the returning
confidence of trade.
Increased buying Of iron and steel
products to make up for the slack
months that ended the year encouraged
producers to announce advances Of a
dollar a ton in several finished lines.
The United States Steel Corporation
is reported operating AT 10 per cent
Of its ingot capacity, nine furnaces
having been blown in at the start OF
the week Independent steel manu-
facturers tell of large increase in un-
filed tonnage for January, as COM
pared with December, and the Steel
Corporations figures this week are eX-
pected TO show similar improvement.
But better conditions have not yet
reached all branches of the industry.
Production Of coke, for example, in
some of the leading plants is on
basis Of less than 90 per cent Of ca
pacity. Equipment orders, while eX-
pected to be good this month, were in
January only half those of the CORE
spending month last year.

Justice Isaac Franklin, Of the Court

children when healthy are fond Of

toward romantic fiction, or lying,

The report of the Calumet and Hecla
Mining Company for the year ended De-
cember 81, 1913, shows a considerable
decrease in the amount Of copper pro-
duced during the year and an increase
In the cost OF producing the metal, Both
are said to be due to the effect OF the
labor troubles in the Calumet and Hecla
districts. The production Of copper for
the year was 45.016.s90 pounds, pro-
duced at a cost of 1926 cents per pound,
as compared with 67,s56.429 produced the
