ply the greater part of the Middle
States and the Southwest are confi-
dent that the volume of business be-
tween June 1 and December 31 will
attain at least the same magnitude
as the corresponding period of 1907,

record for the concluding six months.

there will be only a Blight difference
between the whole of 1907 and 1908
and that 1908 will exhibit marked gains
In all domains of commerce over the
preceding year.
