INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK
CONTINUES BRIGHT
Fine Crop Prospects for
Cotton and Wheat
MODERATE REDUCTION
Money Conditions Easier and Indus
trial Markets as Whole

Disturbed
MODERATE REDUCTION

New York, April 25.-Dun's Review to-
morrow will say:
Notwithstanding the recent moderate
reduction in trade and Industrial aetivi-
ty, it is significant that confidence still
prevails and in the west and south
spirit of optimism is manifest as to the
future, largely based upon the fine crop
outlook for both cotton and wheat-which
contrasts with the more conservative feel
ing that exists in eastern centers. The
work of recovery from the effects of the
wdwestern floods is progressing and this
gives increasing relief to business. The
tariff readjustment continues to inspire
caution in the trade circles more imme-
diatelyi affected. but the end of uncertain
ty now is not far distant. Weather con-
dtfons are distinctly better and this gives
an impetus. not only to building opera
tions, but also to retail trade, and real
estate transfers.
Money conditions are easer both at
home and abroad, and while there is some
renewal of anxiety regarding the Balkan
situation. International markets as a
W hole are much less disturbed. Pig iron
Is somewhat more active, hut at lower
prices. The iron and steel mills report
business as fully up to normal. Textile
lines show some abatement in activity.
Lumber is more active. Trade In anthra-
cite is larger. Reports from the leading
western and northwestern cites are very
cheerful in tone, and the advent of more
settled weather has resulted in large re-
tail activity.
Interest and dividend disbursements in
May will exceed 100000. .0O0-a considerable
increase over last year. Bank clearings
this week showed a loss of 81 per cent
as compared with 1912. Railroad earnings
in the first two weeks of April We're IL
per cent under year ago. which is an
effect of the floods. Foreign trade at New
York amounted, during the lat week to
$34 40, against $42. 73s, I'll ir 1912.
Commercial failures this week in the

Inman Park Society Misses Tell
How They Earned Money in
Unique Contest.

Out IN Inman Park are three young
society girls, members Of the Inman
Park Girls Club, who have just com
pleted a task that would have
stumped many Of Atlanta's Peachtree

asked to do IT. Competing for prizes
offered by the president and founder
of the club, Mrs. S. c. Dobbs, of No. s
Oakdale road. each girl started with

dollar to $20.5O
Miss Lucille Dennis, No 104 North
Moreland avenue, was but 50 cents
behind Miss Pattillo, winning SCI
ond prize. a five-pound box OF the
finest candy, with $40.
Miss Marie Nixon, of Cascade ave-
nue. made $40 during the month, and
won the third prize, $3.50 in gold.
The money was made by the young
women through their own efforts and
by their own hard work. One Of tne
conditions OF the contest, in which ell
of the 25 members Of the club partici-
pated. was that they should receive no
aid from members of their families or
