Manufacturers with few ex- captions report an upward trend ia September business with orders and inquiries becoming more numerous.
 Farmers are marketing their crops as they are harvested, and there is decidedly better feeling in the rural districts i'll comparison with the fall of 1920.
 At present time the feeling Is general that the market improvement in business is substantial and sound in. every respect, the review says andN that the period of depression gradually passing into the back ground will remain there for long time.
 However. the presentiment that further readjus ustmehts are necessary still continues to show up in spots. Ii $ to the effect that business, still hampered by price inequalities and wage scales which have not yet been completely adjusted, cannot continue the present pace and that the Win ter months ~will bring slight re- action.
