RELIEF OF TRAFFIC
CONGESTION FELT

New York, Feb. 23.-Dun's Review
tomorrow will say:
Partial relief from the traffic con-
geston has bettered the position of
business, though progress in many di
|reCtions continued hindcred by the de-
lays in transportation. Inability to
secure with promptness urgently need
ed supplies of raw materials still af-
fects most industries adversely and not
a little machinery is idle, while distri-
button of the necessities is impcded
and the strength of prices intensified.
Obstacles in overseas shipping also re-
strict export movements and the
doubts about foreign affairs make for
general caution in entering upon en-
gagements for the future. Unlike the
recent experience, demands are mainly
confined to immediate requirements
and speculative tendencies are discour-
aged; yet federal contracts accentuatc
the pressure on producing forces and
consumption of staple products is sus-
tanned in large volume, notwithstand-
ing the high prices. Many commodities
in spite of the Iapidity and extent of
the previous upturn have risen to an
unprecedented level.
The extreme living costs caused in
crcasing complaint and curtailment of
purchasing is more apparent, but the
buying power holds up remarkably well
under the conditions and it is note
worthy that savings deposits are stead
lily accommodating. Weekly bank clear
ings, $3,974,65i ,119.
