Weekly Review of Trade and Latest
Market Reports. -
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review
of trade says:
Industrial plants steadily decrease
the percentage of idle machinery,
especially in the steel business,
which increases the size of pay-rolls,
and by raising the purchasing power
of the wage-earner improves retail
trade. Thus far progress is slow In
wholesale and jobbing departments,
but as retail stocks are depleted,
there is more disposition to place
orders for spring goods, Reports
are still irregular, some sections of
the country recovering much more
rapidly than others, and a few in-
terior cities record business even bet-
ter than at this time last year.
Textile fabrics are not materially
changed, either in point of demand
or rate of production. Prices are
practically unchanged, some produ-
ers claiming that quotations are
now down to the cost of produetion,
while others hold that concessions
will not stimulate trade in the pres-
ent attitude of buvers In woolen
goods there {8 a little better inquiry,
wholesale clothiers exhibiting more
interest, especially in staple lines.
It is still evident that much uncer
tainty exists as to the class of goods
that will be most popular, and bus-

Voman Walks After Twenty Years,

twenty years had been confined to

“I attribute my cure to prayer
alone, 1 have prayed almost con-
stantly for the last twenty vears, and
I have always felt that God would
