BUSINESS TIDE ON RISE.
Monthly Review Shows People Are
Now Buying.

Cleveland, Ohlo.-The business tide
is rising; the recedlng tide has carried
out most of the wrecks of business
and the incoming tide Is raising the
tide line of business, according to the
monthly business review of the Fourth
Federal Reserve bank, issued recently.
"Were it possible to sum up In four
words the expressions Of our many
correspondents In the district they
would be we are buying now" the
review says.
An analysis Of seventy-six basic ma
terials shows that forty-eight are
higher now than they were year ago,
according to the review.
There are many instances which
justify the belief of rising tide Of
business, the review says.
The head of one of the largest tex.
tile mills In the country, with general
offices In the Cleveland district, says
orders now on their books are suffi-
cient to carry them ut full capacity
until February 1. Ia
