Preparing for the Opening l'p of the West ln<llM.

Signs of cumulative improvement, come from the iron and stool Industry, more particularly from west of tho AUflghonios, where slight advances ?n prices aee.oinpftU.yniu a good volume of domestic and export business are reported. Expected ac tivity in ship building is rellected in tho demand for plates at Eastern points.

Tho toxtilo manufacturing situation is as yet a rather clouded ooo, a shut- i down of print cloth mills being ro yarded as probable in another eOort to restoro tho lost balaneyf of this trade. Woolen goods are still slow of sale, ?whilo tho relatively low range of wool pticos at East or n markets and tho im proved inquiry by manufacturers has sti tl'oned values with tho Hied of dis couraging sales.
