Chicago. April Developments
along lines OF industrial activities
throughout the United States we're
reported in greater volume and over
wider territory yesterday than at any
time since the first squirt OF business
at the beginning OF the year.
Reports came from the Montana and
the lake copper districts telling OF
the opening OF mines and smelling
plants that have been closed or oper-
ating small shifts for months. and
also that wage advances were being
made among miners and other work
ers.
Gains Are Widespread.
From the steel districts around Chi
cago. in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and else
where similar reports OF growing actlv-
ity we're heard. Dispatches telling OF
increased operations in New England
marked the one territorial extreme
and the gains in industries on the
Pacific coast marked the other.
The spirit OF improvement in bust
ness and the securities markets was
reflected throughout Chicago business
circles. Bankers and business men
concede strong evidences OF a sharp
revival in trade and finance. The re-
ports received by them from all quar-
tiers told Of greater activities.
Brokers' Offices were crowded and
enthusiasm ran high as the stock
market advances seemed to presage
approaching business prosperity.
Predict Further Prosperity.
Bankers and business men say the
great demand the war has thrust upon
the United States for practically
everything II can produce will bring
great prosperity TO this country.
The immense trade balance OF near
ly 5000. 5000 In favor of the United
States seems to tell the tale Gold

country and the only check was the
creation OF huge credits here by the

the confidence American bankers have

position OF the United States was re-

The United States Department of

an argument should not be mistaken
