Not only has there been further expansion in wholesale and retail distribution, but industrial activity, which, generally speaking, has been the laggard in the upward movement, has given definite signs of response to the influences making for progress. "One of the most striking features of the present situation is the extraordinary abundance of money." The Herald-Tribune reports from Chicago : "Business throughout the Middle Wtst appears to be marking time against the result of the election and readjustments in materials and labor costs. With the bulk of the corn crop practically out of danger of frost and record yields of other farm products for which high prices are being received, the great agricultural districts are heading for unusual prosperity unless the political schemers and radicals succeed in upsetting the orderly procedure." From Los Angeles, the same paper! says: "The situation may be summarized 1)}' the statement that, while the actual volume of business being transacted is not remarkable, the trend is in the right direction, with a tendencj' toward firmness and steady imiirovemcnt."
