The improvements in Industrial con.
ditions Is not marked. but Is of the
steady. cumulative type. with a ten.
dency TO branch out and embrace
many Industries one after another. Al.
though the Industrial movement Is fav.
orable. there are a number OF indus,
tries which still lag. the coal and
lumber industries being the most i'm
portant In this respect. Owing to the
European war textile and wooden
mills. shipbuilding yards and plants
supplying war orders are kept er.
tremely busy. while operation In I'm.
ished steel products Is increasing.
In taking a survey OF agricultural
conditions We find that the winter
wheat crop conditions are excellent
snow coverings have provided the
plant with ample moisture. and AL
ready extensive preparations are De-
Ing made for increased areas TO 70
INTO o crops. Our export trade IN
wheat continues very heavy, and INC
oversee movement in cotton is fairly
good. Railway traffic in the west is
heavy, earnings continuing to in.
rease while the eastern railroads are
expecting Increased prohts from the
idNe increases. Inc recent ODpning
of the Pahama-Pacihc international OF.
position at San Francisco is
TO stimulate travel on all railroads 70
the Pacific coast.
Grain Market
The grain market for the past few
days has been very unsettled, with
wide fluctuations in prices, the sharp
est In some respects since the war be-
gan Corn has been affected by the
decline In wheat. while oats have
Gagged quite steadily despite the good
export demand. Cotton was weak ow-
ing 10 the unsettled conditions exist
ing IN the German and English block
ade OF seaport towns. The Improve
ment In he steel mill work has been
slightly increased and the Industry
continues to take up slack. However
IN some sections OF the country a
number OF sheet and plate mills re-
main closed. pending the adjustment
OF wage rates. Owing to the hiRh
price that f. being paid for spelter.
the price paid for galvanized steel
pipe and sheets have been advanced.

IMPROVEMENT In INDUSTRIAL
CONDITIONS CONTINUES SLOW

Pig iron sells IN small lots. but fur.
mace Interests are cheerful as 10 the
outlook. for II IL felt that the demand
for machinery must act favorAbly on
pig iron. The present war orders con-
tinue heavy enough TO keep I'D the &C
tivity in the leading machinery mar
kets, yet there Is a growing domestic
demand that is beginning to attract
attention. The railroads are still out
OF the market TO a great extent, but
the automobile interests and the man
ufacturers OF munitions OF war pro-
vide good sired contracts.
Wool Trade.
While the wool trading on the Bos-
ton market has been on a small scale.
values have lost none OF their strength
and the tendency IN price IL upward.
The leading development TO take place
in the wool industry. is the shipment
OF wool from Australia to this coun-
try which Is consigned to the Textile
Alliance. The shearing season Is now
in progress In Arizona and already
several thousand pounds OF wool have
been bought by eastern buyers.
In taking a resume OF the Pittsburgh
district. the mine and mill supply and
hardware dealers report quite a num-
Der OF small orders as buying is con
fined only TO immediate requirements.
As TO dry-goods houses, business Is
somewhat below that OF last year, and
the buying for immediate delivery Is
in small lots. although a fair business
for spring delivery is expected. None
Of the mills Of the local district are
operating at near their normal capac-
ity.
The sugar market continues light as
most refiners are over sold one TO
two weaks, and new business is nat
urally at a standstm. Refiners are
short OF supplies. hence the holding
off policy OF the country generally,
meets appreciation. Had the distribu-
tor and the manufacturer been seized
by b speculative fever as shown
some time ago. there would have been
a critical situation for most interests.
with a wild fury in prices. The ques-
ton OF foreign demand enters into the
market, there being a French inquiry
for sugar. yet no business has been
transacted. Owing 10 the fact that
refiners are quiet. there was no sales
OF raw material to stimulate or de-
press prices. and the general tendency
Is TO wait for developments.
The flour trade is very qu-. odr-
side OF the markets and the trading
in Tour throughout the week was
made up largely OF resales. The weak.
ness In wheat has caused many OF

Change In Steel Trade.
The tide OF steel buying that began
time ~ seems to have turned.
but the momentum derived from the
larger orders has caused some OF IN.
big plants TO operate at So per cent
OF their total capacity. II Is evident
that large consuming interests are
buying less freely. with the exception
or he automobile manufacturers. who
are being benefited largely from for.
eign orders. In fact our export trade
has improved until IL IL nearly I'D to

American Car and Foundry company
and the car shops OF the Pittsburgh
district are negotiating for 5000 to

locomotive shops have experienced a

Tax Notices All Out.

County Treasurer Mckee finished
sending out the Lewis county tax
statements for the current taxes this
morning, and the comments from The
taxpayers, as they look over their
share in the governments expense
account, are varied and various
cool, tepid and hot. Some are dis
posed to walk right up and jump on
the tax collector rough shod and
force him to make a substantial re-
duction in the several items. But,
unfortunately for them, this is not
his privilege, even though he was SO
disposed, which no doubt he would
be, for he is quite good natured.
No, the people--at least major
ity of them-have demanded Inc i'm
provemens, the conditions for which
this tax money is to be paid, and the
officers simply have the pleasure of
gathering the coin together and then
disbursing it according to Hoyle, or
the fellows who so fixed the law.
If they did otherwise, they would
break the law, and that is not the
sort of off GERS to have.
