An additionel feature is the signing of the new bi- tuminous coal wage gcale, by which any possi- ble unsettiement from this source i prevented. | M4 weather makes for inoreesed activity in | outdoor work, while active movements in jum- Dber, struotural fron and steel, bullders’ hard- ware and & myriad of other lines lead to the bellet that the present season, notwith- | standing high prices of materials, Will witness finmense building operations. In this connec- tion oognizance must be taken of the reports coming from widely separated sections indicat- ing & scarcity of labor. In the South Increased rallway building, Jumbering operations and a diversion of industry generally have drawn heavily upon the labor &vailable for the cotton. fields and a less than ordinarily might have been expected increase In acreage therefore is looked for in this line. Balance to ti how- ever, may be found in the present high price of cotton. In the Northwest labor is scarce In the Jumbering industry, and, generally speaking, it might be sald thai manual labor the country over finds a ready market. All in all, the situ- ation is one practically never equaled before at this time, confirming earlier predictions that the first half of, the year 1903 was secure be- yond peradventure. Perhaps the most notable feature In the en- ! prices do not as yet seem to cheek consump- tion. In the strongest situated industries of all, those of cotton manufacturing and of iron and steel production, insistent demand, culmi- nating in jarge sales, giving testimony to the increased purchasing power of the country at large. Cotton and cotton goods have led the van this week, spot cotten advancing 13 and future deliverics nearly half, partly because of manipulation, it {s true, but ultimately because of the active spring demand for cotton goods, even at_the high prices dominating, The dry goods trade the country over sends excellent Teports. In fron and steel the chiet trouble is the car congestion, which limits sup- plies of coke reaching furnaces and checks de- very. The distribution of hardware is increasing and bullding promises to be very active. An additional steadying feature in fron and steei is the prospect that all classes of iron ore will be advanced, the increase varving from 25 cents to $1 25 and the average being in the neigh- borhiood of 75 cents.

The course of this | stock s uncertain at the moment and the causs | of the sharp deciine is not very clear, thoush 1it is said to be friction over the dividends, which leads to a selling pressure and gives the bears & chance to depress the stock. One ru- mor has it that dividends may soon be discon- tinued. and ancther is that dividends are mow belng "declared at the expense of the reserve fand, and that were regulur credits beiug car- rled over into the latter there would be no divi- dends.
