at these prices to cause reactions of 20 or
25 points, but the undertone continued firm

WITH GOVERNMENT WORK
Domestic Business Keeps Plants oper-
ating to Full Capacity-Some
Work Overtime

The weekly report on local trade condi-
tions issued by n. C. Dun & Co. says there
have been no material price changes, manu-
racturers are buying more freely and the
market is favorable Cotton yarns are
still higher than the cost OF raw material
would justify. There have been few Offer
ings for South American wools. Manutac-
turers are generally busy, largely on Gov
ernment work. There is a shortage in the
labor market. which in some cases has
proved a serious handicap.
Continuing the report says:
Manufacturers of cloaks and suits state
that the season has been backward, the
trade Is buying sparingly and prices are
high. Collections slow. Manufacturers or
shirtwaists state that sales have dropped
on some little; they anticipate however,
a good business for the late fall and win
fer Manufacturers in this line are eXpe-
rioncng difficulty in obtaining competent
labor. ..,.
manufacturers of mems and boys cloth
ing state that the high prices have affected
sales somewhat, and they are experiencing
difficulty in obtaining material in the piece
although there is fair demand.
"The iron and steel market presents no
snecial features, and buying for future
business Is still more or less delayed, pend

ment Large foreign orders are repoIteu 10

"There appears TO be considerable activ-
itv in the hardware line, with an increas-
ing demand for all grades of material some

Il is the impression of trade authorities that
there will be continued increase in this line
of business during the fall months, Prices
remain firm and collections good.
