THE
STEADY IMPROVEMENT NOTED
In
Musical Merchandise Trade—Dealers In-
clined to Buy More Liberaily—Orders Large
in the Aggregate—No Change in Foreign
Market.
With general business improving, the musical
merchandise contingent report their sales have in-
creased in a manner which shows trade is bound
to be very much better. Wholesalers and direct
importers are of the opinion that this is bound to
ensue, though it should be borne in mind that the
improvement will be steady and doubtless lasting.
Dealers are more inclined to buy on a more lib-
eral basis, and even then the conservative feeling
is not absent. Firms who have gone through the
West to the Coast, and looking over the trade
carefully, have booked orders that have been sur-
prising in quantity, when the careful way which
lias characterized the action of dealers in this
particular has been taken into consideration.
Advices frcm ahro.-.t! are of the same tenor
which has been characteristic for the past six
moi.ths. With tlie reappraisemenis going en in
the customs house, that have not yet been com-
pleted, the uneasiness among the factors has not
ceased. Prices therefore remain unchanged.

when asked about the business situation said: "It
looks very good. Our orders are coming in, and
deliveries are being made as rapidly as our ship-

appears to be very promising."
