Optimism, born of the accomplish-

gard as a remarkable strengthening
of the economic fabric. is evident
throughout the statistics and details
or the statement.
The total volume of building. ordi-

in the first eleven months of this

There was a. genuine swell in the
volume of general trade. according to
the summary. which mentioned a six
per cent. greater sale by mail order
houses and a thirteen per cent. in-
crease in business by chain stores as
indicative of the business tide, de-
I-iines only in isolated lines.
Savings bank deposits increased
uniformly throughout the country, ac-
cording to the survey. and increases
over 1921 also were reported in the
1922 life insurance business.
The year's progress was reported
to have changed a large surplus of
freight cars into a ShoItage. This
Shortage was general. it was stated,
despite a lower percentage of cars un-
