that more men are being taken on by
factories which have been running
with decreased force. The report
states that the flour mills have been
fortunate in being affected only slight
ly by the general depression. Some
cotton and textile mills are also fav-
ored to a lesser extent in this con-
nection, although cotton mills, while
fairly busy. ere said 70 be accumulat-
ing goods.
Depression In Mining.
General mining conditions are stat
ed as generally poor. This ls especial
ly true of the phosphate mines OF
Florida. which formerly shipped most
of their product to Europe. Many
mines are closed down. and the re-
mainder running from one-quarter to
general depression, according to the
report, Is zinc, which Is quoted as be-
ing in excellent condition. Lead Is
also reported as being in better condi-
ton than Ia true OF the other lines.
The oil business liz stated as varying
from poor to fair. because Of low
prices and the falling of in demand.
The lack OF building has caused
many lumber mills to close down and
others to run only two to four days
week, and has likewise closed many
of the stone. slate and marble quarrfes.
However. these conditions are now be-
ginning to mend. and orders are show
ing some increase.

While acknowledging the wide
spread and depressing effects Of the
European var on industrial and com
mercial conditions, the report Is gem
orally reassuring. Economy natural
~ prevails among all classes. though
remarks have been noted that this
does not extend to automobiles. Pur-
Chsses OF goods for future delivery
are far smaller than usual. Collec-
tons are uniformly reported as poor.
Lately, marked change has been
noted In a iessening of the earlier
difficulty of obtaining loans from
banks; and in an easing of interest
rates II is stated that conditions In
the South, while slowly improving
et.U present serious problem. Else
VIE taa feeling gathers strength
thai a steadily improving future is
Immediately ahead.
Crops Yield Large.
Crops in general have been good.
The entire wheat crop shows an In
crease Of twelve and one-half per
cent over that Of last year, and in
some southern points the increase Is
over 90 per cent. The report states
hat all indications are that the
amount % wheat being held for
higher prices is much less than is
generally supposed. it. is especially
worthy of nctv that some sections are
plating winter wheat for the first
time in their history. and 1t is pre-
tfictcd thai II the war continues until
spring, the acreage planted in grains
viii exceed that of all former years.
The sugar-caEe crop promises to be
81 good one. and to command remuner-
atfve prices. The report points out
that while we ordinarily get most Of
our supply from Germany. there
seems 10 he no difficulty in obtaining
the necessary seed, and larger
acreage OF suger-heete is expected

Apples, in particular. have been stored
