Will Lecture Tonight.

Despite a continuance of light trading,
the general tone was firmer in the local
list yesterday, and Lanston and Wash
ingtOn Gas in particular continued to
show improvement. Transactions gen.
orally were limited to odd lots, however.
One twenty-five share lot, however, fixed
the price of Washington Gas at "a 1-2,
though offerings at "a SIS failed to bring
out further trading.
Evidently in anticipation Of the declar-
alton of a dividend today, Lanston moved
up "a to IS. after opening at II 1-2 and
moving to n ga. The annual meeting of
Lanston is scheduled for today, and in
view Of the large earnings of the com
pany recently and the optimistic attitude
of certain memberF=of the board of di-
rectors, it is believed a per cent divi-
dend basis with a quarterly payment
June l will be announced.
Mergenthaler was sluggish yesterday,
continuing the tone of the weekend.
The typesetter sold at 1853. Railway pre-
rerred sold at 81 in one transa ction.
In the bond list Graphohphohne IS alone
figured in trades, 5000 worth going at
30, the regular marketing price.

PROSPEROUS NOW
Federal Reserve Agents Re-
port Nationwide Boom
in Business.
NOTE LABOR SHORTAGE
Swamped with Orders,
Says New York-Earnings Break
Records. Philadelphia States.

The country's prosperity is now prac-
tically without a spot" according to
the reports from the twelve Federal re-
serve agents, made public by the Fed
eral Reserve Board yesterday. These
officials announce the presence of an era
OF prosperity national in scope and eX-
tending through practically every line of
business.
One tangible evidence given Of the
height to which the tide OF prosperity
has swept is the shortage of labor noted
In both the Boston and New York re-
serve districts, and attributed directly to
the business extensions which have
taken place.
Manufacturers are overwhelmed with
ORDERS says the report OF the New
York reserve agents. but are hampered
by a scarcity Of raw materials, espe-
cially dyestuffs, and by a scant supply
Of labor. The absence of supplies is
further aggravated by a serious car
shortage, which is uncommon at this pc
riod of the year and has caused the
railroads to declare additional embar-
goes"
Earnings Breaking Records.
The Philadelphia reserve agent says
General business throughout this dis
trict is good. and our dependence on
emergency orders is diminishing. Com
plant Of difficulty in obtaining raw ma
terials and satisfactory delivery is be-
coming rather general, resulting in
heavy advance purchases. Earnings are
breaking records in many lines and
prospects for the future are considered
to be favorable"
The Cleveland agent reports few
changes over the prosperous conditions
noted in the report for February other
than recently developed difficulty in
getting raw materials and made-up
parts OF machinery necessary in opera
ton.
