BUSINESS FAIRLY SATISFACTORY IN
 READJUTMENTS
Federal Reserve Board Re views Agents Reports for
 Month Just Past.

Washington, Mar. 6-Confidence that business conditions are re-ad- nsting themselves in a fairly satis- factory way" although not as fast as many interests wish, was ex- pressed today by the federal reserve board in review of business reports for February. Those reports were made by federal resarv agents in each district, based on specific surveys of commercial and industrial conditions.
 Reports as to labor unemployment have been numerous in tn epress,' , says the board"s review. but the re- over-anxiety an exaggeration with re- ports of federal reserve agents show that there has probably thus far been spect to this matter. A'rom several manufacturing districts it Is reported that labor conditions are far from sat- isfactory and that there Is consider able unemployment.

Labor Conditions.

"1t appears that the surplus of labor is smallest in the south and southeast, weher, however, there are no indications of any reduction in he wage scale. In the north and east employees are demanding higher wages notwithstanding the existence of considerable unemployment.
 e"There is as yet no general revis- . ion of wages downward, although
 there ara indications of tendency to let wages settle to a definite level which sahll without question be high CT than that existing before the war. There has been 8 tendency to provide labor for greater number Of persons by eliminating overtime or establish
 ing short time"
 The textile industry presents one of the most difficult problems. says the report. Tn New England, curtailment of ,woolen mill production still is in prograss and in the Philadelphia dis trict readujstment ntextile produc- tion is proceeding with values un- settled. In New England the cotton
 market is reported at a complete
 standstill SO far as raw material is

 Banking conditions in general

a friend and / heard some hounds bay
tng on the opposite side of the creek.
We were guessing what they might be
chasing, when all ut once we saw a
tWo-thirds-grown rabbit come from tue
weeds and slowly walk into the water
until it got 50 deep that he was com
PEELED to swim. We thought that the
little animal was coming across; but
suddenly he turned upstream and
swan for some two or three rods, and
then he climbed out on the bank and
disappeared in the weeds and under
brush.
A few moments later the hounds
came to the water and lost the trail.
