NEW YORK, April 12.—No check has yet made its appearance in the progress of industrial activity.

In general, the larger number of plants are at eapacity, with only & few mills down for alterations and “recenditioning. Continuation of the excellent business is foreseen. ‘The : non-ferrous metsl quotations have - suffered somewhat duiring the week, but they are still at a point where producers can and are making excellent profits. Tin has slumped on statistical pnm.lm although the prospective de- d_for tin plate is excellent. The r drop, according to many ex- cellent judges, has not been the re- flection of a cessation or decided dimi- nution of demand. Oil output has not yet reflected the efforts being made to reduce pmduc- tion, but consumption is now steadily and probably will cont! gain lor some time to come. Coal move- ments are improving, but it will not be until the opentn( of inland waters navi- mn that the real extent of the bet- ent can be judged.

More- over, the cotton fabrics seem likely to be more popular from a fashion siand- point than at-any time since King Tut's tomb was discovered and opened.
