pNGRESS PROBLEM
FOR MANUFACTURERS
Unemployment Passing.but
Tariff Tinkeling Is
Feared.
RAILROAD SITUATION
ONE OF DRAWBACKS
Dyestuffs Shortage Affects
Textiles-Buying OH
Larger Scale.

THE SCN gives to its readers this
morning the opinions of a great many
business men and those who are in
touch with affairs on business pros
poets for the fall season. 1t will be
found that the belief among these
men Is general that business in this
country faces better conditions. and
that the immediate prospect is one OF
hopefulness.
In their opinion the uncertainty due
to tariff and financial changes and
the shock caused by the European
war has passed away. Confidence is
returning, they say; and while many
OF them said they were not sure
enough of the future to make public
avowal of their beliefs, they asserted
privately that the feeling Of conf
dence is steadily increasing and that
business is improving and will contin-
us to do so.
Room Talk" Not Reported.
But while generally optimistic THE
SUN has no "boom talk" to report nor
any of the exaggerations Of blind
hope. Indeed, certain factors still ad-
verse are pointed out
From manufacturers and merchants
the opinion was obtained that the
, present bright prospects are some
what dimmed by the scarcity OF dye
stufs. The textile industries are re-
ceiving orders that it is impossible to
fill because Of this lack of raw mate
rials.
one manufacturer of woollens said
he intended to close one of his mills
in New England unless something
is done soon to get dyes into this
country. 1t is asserted that there Is
Little hope Of domestic manufacturers
being able to produce dyes in any
thing like the quantities needed for
some yea : TO come.
Eject OF Legislation.
Another note of anything but op-
timism is sounded by the railroad
men. They say that this particular
business has felt the effects of adverse
legislation more than any other and
that it is impossible to attract invest
ments to railroad property so long as
the present attitude toward the busi-
ness is maintained by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Barring the railroad situation ana
the lack of supplies in the textile in
dustries. there is a strong feeling that
: business is picking up 1t is reported
from the hotels that big buyers have
been coming TO town in unusua. num-
hers this summer and that they de-
clare the feeling of confidence to be
widespread
In the statements printed this
morning il will be observed that most
OF the predictions of a business bet
terment are based on factors IN nor
nal business. An attempt has been
made to discount the effects OF the
war in these estimates.

 OATS AMONG THE BEST
Auburn Extension Service Director Has Samples Grown There
 Examined

Auburn, February 4.-(Special. With the prospect that Alabama farmers will harvest oats next May and Jane from an acreage about three times as large as ever before, thoughtful mer are giv- ing attention to the probable demand and the bright prospects for selling a part of these oats on the larger markets
 In December the director of the exten- sion service at Auburn forwarded to the grain chasing experts connected with the chambers of commerce in Memphis and Nashville samples of several va ;yietfes ofs-oats as grown in 1914 on the experiment station farm. at Auburn, The chief inspector of the Memphis Mer- chants Exchange reports that the sam up on the station farm grade as No ? red oats. In this class he also places the sample of pedigreed Burt oats also resulting from the breeding experiments at the station. In letter from Mr Gard Ter. chief inspector Memphis Merchants exchange, to Prof. J. F. Duggar, director os the. extension service. he says: ''rhe samples that. I have graded No red oats, and also the sample marked Fulg. hum, are very fine, and would make d splendid feed'
 The chief inspector and weighma ster of the Nashville Grain exchange was even more favorable in his classification of the pedigreed oats. He placed the two pedigreed strains of red rust proof oats as No. l; the Culberson variety as No. 9 and the commercial red rust proof oats as No. 4.
