The Business Situation

According to Dun's Review the
business situation is generally salts
factory. and while there is a dispo-
stion TO delay new contracts. there
is as active movement on account of
old business, with prospects general
ly encouraging. Most New England
industries are running at as near to
capacity as the supply of labor will
permit, and there is more disposition
on the part of buyers to place new
contracts than there is on the part of
manufacturers to accept orders. a
more cheerful feeling is noted in the
lumber market with the demand for
spruce improving and prices firm.
Consumers of foundry pig iron con-
tinue to hold off and there is no in
dcation that business in iron will be
more active until September There
is, however a more than usually sea-
sonable demand for building ma
terials. In dry goods there is a
good retail movement in all depart
ments. the weather having been fay-
orable for activity in seasonable mer-
chandise. In the manufacturing end
of the cotton goods market mills are
running at capacity in most instances
and new business is increasing. New
Bedford manufacturers report that
there is more interest on the part of
buyers and that the demand for
specialties increases as retailers
stocks become reduced. The hosiery
season for the spring of 1917 is in
full swing and all sections of the
trade are active. Activities in the
shoe trade are pronounced; manufac-
turers are fully employed and there
has been a liberal business in goods
for next season. The leather market
is quiet, but there has been more de-
mand from consumers for both sole
and upper stock. Wool is firm and
still advancing and wooden manu-
facturers are seeking to cover their
necessities in raw material during
the early part of next year. Re
cepts of butter have continued heavy
and the general market is barely
steady The demand for cheese from
both consumers and spectators has
been moderate and the market, while
showing no special change. is not
as strong as formerly. Supplies of
eggs are moderate and prices CON
tinue to move upward. as receipts are
seasonably light

was the victor with score of 3 to 0

looked like base hits out into right
field and the pitching of James who
held Belfast to one hit. Saunders
contributed the batting features for
Skowhcgan with double and a tri-
pie out of four times up. In the
pitching department James allowed
only two Belfast men to reach first
base In the second game it was a
pitchers duel up to the sixth inning
when Williams opened with a single,
Cram got a base on an error by
saunders and Curtin singled filling
the bases. Neptune hit to Lee who
threw Williams out at the plate, Can
non relaying the ball to first for a
fast double. Then with two down,

juggled the ball allowing Cram and
Curtin TO score Again in the seventh
