STATE OF TRADE

The state of trade over the country
reported by Bradstreet's for last week
was quiet. But better feeling evil
denced. Holiday trade proved better
than earlier expected. After-holiday
reduction sales plus cold weather move
some goods. Some leaders in early
spring depression now note s~tiffening
of tone, and wool, hides and silk trifie
more active. Big cut in ginghams.
Greater stability in securities and
grain markets aid in creation Of more
cheerful feeling. Unsatisfactory year
closes with hopes Of slow but steady
betterment.

his attention to the organization Of

ing that such an institution was much
needed in this county, and that Lake
land was the logical place for it. Due
to the strong personnel Of approx
mately 100 stockholders distributed
over Polk and Hillsborough counties,
it should be one of the largest bank
ing institutions in South Florida with
in very few years.

with a paid-in capital stock of $780,
10000 and it's officers are A. II. De-
Vane, president; T. l.. Wilson and F..
