A steady improvement in trade is noted in Auckland retail businesses. There have been so many false dawns since the depression set in that no one is sufficiently certain of present signs arid their persistence to indulge in rash predictions. Nevertheless, the growing confidence is mor- than psychological. It is being reflected in an increased business turnover. More furniture is being sold. One man associated with that trade suggested that the growth of business was partly attributable to signs of activity in the building trade, which was particularly hard hit by the slump. A somewhat surprising tendency is revealed by a repoft of better trading in radio goods. A retailer in that field said it was a promising sign v'.ien purchasers began to be courageous in their inquiries for amenities, as distinct from necessaries. It indicated that some members of the community felt justified in loosening their purse strings. It seemed to show that the storm was passing. The manager of a firm carrying a wide range of household and fancy lines traced an upward trend in business back to January.
I love the silver tracery of the moon, The sunshine painting golden gems at noon, I love the sighing wind, the zephyr soft, The wet soft cloudlets scurrying by aloft. I love to feel the wondrous glow of health. And if a cold should come to me by stealth, I never let the miscreant foe mature, But fight him fair with Woods' Great Peppermint Cure.
