in the northwest. Ten days will place the spring wheat crop beyond danger from drouth. In the west manufacturing plants are busy and labor is we'll employed Higher wages, large, pay rolls and great activity in industrial lines mark prog ress In the Pittsburg district. Labor conditions at some New England centers are still a disturbing factor. A steady demand for cottons and woolens and en- hanced cost of raw material make for a further hardening in quotations. Some lit tie additional business is noted In foot wear, but the trade still is delaying plac- ing of considerable volume of business. Leather is more active and hides are in greater demand and prices tend higher.
 Trade in the south and southwest still marks time. In activity and slow collec- tions in that section are customary at this season, but the progress of the week has been quite satisfactory. With industrial activity in the largest trades assured, ag- ricultural prospects, suspicious and mer- cantle conditions sound. there is less concern regarding those economies and social problems which have in the past served to unsettle business confidence and enterprises. A widening spirit of optimism Is growing in all sections despite this is a presidential year.

BOOSTS FARMER
W. W. Garrett States Farmers Are Getting Higher Prices for Products

The grade of poultry in Alabama Is improving" said w. W. Garrett of Garrett & Hines, on Morris avenue yes- terday. T remember five years ago a chicken would bring from Is to 20 cents. Now, owing to the progressive ness of the Alabama farmer and the steady improvement of the stock of poultry 1t is very poor fowl that will not bring 30 and 40 cents.
 Alabama is also becoming a factor in the egg and butter market A few years ago not much attention was paid to Alabama eggs and butter by whole sale dealers At present 1t Is the ex- act opposite. The large buyers from Chicago have men here and about the state who do nothing else but buy eggs and butter for the northern mar kets.
 "I am a booster for the Alabama farmer and it is my opinion that his products are finding better markets and higher prices than anywhere else in the country"

 The contention of some is that with one

 Some bearish reports have been received
 from parts of Alabama. Mississippi and

 western houses, after liquidating accounts, have sold for the decline. But of late
 an upward tendency has developed. If beneficial rains have fallen in Texas, ex-

From Texas, too, complaints of drouthy conditions have continued to be received from some sections which l have not been visited by rains. There is a noticeable tendency in some quarters to reduce crop estimates. Mean time the spot markets continue firm and a good demand is still reported at the south for desirable cotton. which is said 1 to be increasingly difficult to obtain. It appears that the new cotton when 1t be- gins to move. will not want for buyers.

PRICE OF CLOTHING GOING UP NEXT YEAR Cloth Producers Lift Price From ' 1-2 to 20 Cents
 Per Yard

New York, July 19.-The price of clothes is going to be advanced next year. This increased tax on the already high cost of living is clearly indicated. merchants say today, by the prices named by leading producers of cloth who have lifted the prices for the spring of 1913 season from 71a cents to 20 cents yard above those which prevailed last year when the values for the past spring season were an- nounced.
 How much the merchant tailor or the re- tail clothier will charge the consumer be- cause Of the advances that have taken place cannot be stated accurately because there is every likelihood that the quota tions just made will be further advanced before the season is very old.
 Cloth prices are higher for the next spring season, agents say, because of con ditions over which the manufacturers have no control They say the most i'm portant element that brought about the advance is that the domestic wool clip this year is about 30. .oo0. 600 pounds smaller than year ago. The price of wool has also gone up abroad, while mill owners say that the high scale of wages and the shorter working hours will also have their effect on the increased price of cloth.

TALK CAR SHORTAGES

New York. July 19-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 The keynote of this weeks develop ments is quite accurately epitomized in the phrase Favorable crop prospects" " As a natural result optimism as regards future trade has notably increased Re- tail trade has been stimulated by wet weather and clearance sales, the iron and steel trade retains all of it's former life and railway officials are beginning to talk of car shortages in the fall. Dry goods demand has not yet expanded in a noteworthy way. Visiting representa- tives of jobbing houses are not taking hold freely, though purchases cover a wide range of goods with staples receiv- ing the call while buying of novelties apparently will be deferred until drum mers make their visits. Prices of tex tiles are firm and tend in view of the strike of the operatives in New Bed ford mills, to generate concern as to de- Iiveries of fine goods. Furthermore, the price situation is rendered especially firm through the attitude of mills, most oi which are guarding against becoming oversod because of uncertainties regard ing quotations for new crop cotton.
 Leather is very strong and new buying of shoes is quite moderate. It Is said some purveyors of relatively low priced shoes have substituted cheaper grades r preference to increasing prices, whict are deemed legitimate because of the high cost of labor and raw materials Collections vary. At southern points the payments continue slow.
