at many points outside of the southeast

broadened, interest in fall and winter
goods is gradually developing and with
cotton goods leading in activity. espe-
cially at New York, there is more doing
in retail lines, some improvement has
appeared in connection with collections;
larger sales of southern pig iron are not

ployed. On the other hand finished steel
takes tone principally from sentiment
and not from any actual growth in bust
ness: employment is irregular; industrial
operations, taken In a collective sense,
are relatively slow; building in the
larger cities is slack; coal mining in va
rious fields has been suspended, and adj
ditional coke ovens in the Connellsville
region have been closed.
