copper, with work of new construction
going rapidly forward, the trade situ
ation seems to afford ample grounds
for the prevailing belief that as soon
as tariff revision Is out of the way
the last stumbling block to complete
restoration to mercantile activity will
be removed. Notable, mdeed, Is the

vorable developments in nearly all di
visions are reported.
