Repo4ts from the New York Com mercials correspondent indicate that. the fgenera1 trend of business Is in me right direction and that optirnisn sn almost every line is becoming more pronounced.

Still greater increase of business in these lines would result if producers would accept orders for forward delivery at present prices. Greater activity in EFire sp1edgcts.
