but the nation as a whole has not Im
proved Its commercial position during
the past week, Insofar as current dis
tribution of merchandise or manufact
uring activities are concerned. Pros
pects for the future have Improved
somewhat, however, on account of the
progress made In agriculture. Unless
the crops Buffer an unusual ntbacK
hereafter It should be a good year
for the farmers and all other. Indus
tries will feel the stimulus. Lake
traffic is seriously Interrupted by the
strike, but otherwise the labor situa
tion Is not alarming. Leading
branches of manufactures are ex
tremely quiet, the recent ehght gain
in iron and steel baring disappeared,
and transporting Interests aire not
equaling last year's results., railway
