Mellon Sees Trade RevivaI.

NACAOI OOCS 1EduO 1SCVIV6ls
Business throughout the country
1s moving forward and in the right
direction, according to the views OF
Secretary Mellon, made known to.
day at the Treasury. He sees, how.
ever, no immediate stiffening of
money rates in prospect, it is said.
Looking at the business situa-
ton of the present as compared
with some two months ago when
ne left this country for Europe,
Mr.. Mellon, high officials reported,
Is conscious of perceptible improve.
ment. The Treasury Secretary, it
was said. felt that gradual improve
ment was going on in business
generally. He has observed par
0cularly' change for the better
IN the steel industry which has
experienced a larger volume of
orders and greater activity recently.
The recent order of one of the large
Eastern carriers for 10000 cars
was said to be regarded by Mr..
Mellon as evidencing a material
step forward for the steel industry.
Continuance of the existing easy
condition of the money market for
the time being. however, is looked
FOR by Mr.. Mellon. He feels that
1t will be a matter Of months
before any real change will take
place. 1t was expected that there
would be some seasonal demand for
credit during the fall for crop
moving purposes but in the view
OF the Treasury this development
would not be sufficient to cause a
material stiffening in the money
market. Gradual development Of
business activity both. in Europe
and in this country, it was thought,
would be necessary to affect
appreciably the money market.
In the opinion Of the Treasury
there will be revival of commercial
activity abroad under the operation
OF the Dawes program, which will
be reflected in this country. But
1t was pointed out the recovery in
Europe will be gradual and reaction

Its influence on the money market
eventually, but as yet Mr.. Mellon
observes no evidences either of the
end of the large volume of exports
or the beginning Of the return Of
the excess gold to foreign coun-
tries. Although the recent decline
in the volume of gold exported is
noted at the Treasury, 1t is felt
that there are no indications OF
the approach of the end of this
movement, which may be taperinr
or or only a temporary recession.
However, It was believed that
