Optimistic. Reserve Banks Reports

Cleveland. Sept 27.-Substantial
signs of business Improvement are IN
evidence and gloom in the general
business situation is disappearing. says
the monthly business review of the
Fourth Federal Bank. Manufacturers
with few exceptions report an upward
trend in September business, with or
dors and inquiries becoming more
numerous.
Farmers are marketing crops as
they are harvesting. and there is a
decidedly better feeling in the rural
districts in comparison with the Fall
of 1920. The feeling Is general that
the market improvement in business
is substantial and sound. the review
says. and that the period OF depression
Is gradually pressing into the back
ground and will remain there for a
long time.
The feeling that further readjust-
ments are necessary still continues TO
show in spots. II Is to the effect that
business still hampered by price in
equalities and wage scales which have
not yet been completely adjusted. can
not continue the present pace and that
the winter months will bring a slight
reaction!
The report says the iron and steel
industry shows Improvement, the Arg.
output OF pig iron showing the first
monthly gain in ten months.

lived close by. and hailed a taxi.

coming him. He had just sufficient
strength left to smash a window,

ton. Seeing something wrong. the
driver pulled up near two policemen,
