TRAOESMAN'S
WEEKLY REVIEW
NEW INDUSTRIES FORMED IN
pIxiELAND DURING THE PAST
WEEK.

conditions during the past week ac-
cording to the Tradesman appear I'M
usually favorable. An unusually heavy
crop is now assured. All lines of mer-
chandise report activity. What is
most encouraging is that the usual
pre- election stagnation in business is
practically unknown this year. The
reports, more in detail show that in
the way of food supplies, the greatest
crop of cereals ever harvested in the
United States was produced. More
than three billion bushels of corn, al
most a billion and a half bushels OF
oats and three hundred and thirty
million bushels of spring wheat have
been grown. Indications are that the
farmers will have 10s,o0o,o00 bushels
more potatoes than the last years
crop.
In meats investigation has proved
that the excessive prices are more due
to manipulation than to the law of
supply and demand.
That there is war in eastern Europe
which may the forerunner of more ex-
tended hogtilittes or remain local is
one of the uncertainties that restrain
present activities somewhat, is evil
for possible decline of the market
Manufacturers of knit underwear re-
port scarcity of stock.
Garment manufacturers report bust
ness satisfactory, both for volume and
prices.
The reports as to steel show the
greatest production on record for the
corresponding season of the year. Ore
~ cdr
Cotton seed oil remains firm and in
good demand.
Car shortages, consequent on crop
movements, are locally reported as de-
laying prompt deliveries, especially in
the lumber trade. Lumber generally
is in strong demand.
Naval stores are reported as quite
firm. Production is about ten per cent
more than corresponding period last
year. No concessions are made in
price, in fact the market tendency is
upward.
Rice is unaltered. There is an un-
derfeeling that should war conditions
obtain to any larger extent in Europe,
there will be strong demand for
American food supplies. This tends to
maintain prices and to lessen present
speculation till the situation develops
further.
