New business. which is increasing in
wholesale lines, was streaked with con-
servatism, but optimism as to fall trade
has not abated. The crop situation Is
better, governmental buying Is expanding
and industrial trade, while admitting lack
OF snap, admit business is good. and 1t is
generally felt fall trade will be of large
proportions. Yet caution in granting of
credits is generated by the fact that
prices are inordnately high and Incl
dentally the processes now making for
the reimbursement of quotations is an I'M
settling factor. just as Is the question of
how far civilian wants will be replaced
by takings of army goods.
Most attention, indeed, is focused on
governmental buying, which tends to
stimulate some lines that ordinarily would
be quiet at this season Of the year. Elk
cept where army camps are located, re-
tail trade is not above fair. Labor Is
scarce Is inefficient, and the situation is
marked by considerable unrest. In the
iron and steel industry new domestic buy
ing Is light. though government orders
are enla rging, but prices for pig iron dts.
