FOR RICHMOND DISTRICT

slackening in some lines of trade
is noticed. though considering the
disduieting conditions. because of the
war. the volume continues most salts
factory conservatism is being
shown in lines usually sold far in ad-
vance of delivery, and increasing sales
are being made for quick delivery.
Groceries and provisions at wholesale
continue in good demand, but numer-
Gus small retail dealers in these lines
arc retiring because OF the high price
Of merchandise. Dealers in dry goods
and wearing apparel are having A
backward season. Manufacturers in
practically all lines are working ca
pacity and labor. both skilled and un-
skilled, is well employed. Local
building permits for April amounted
to $459.ol6. decrease of s136.593
in comparison with April of last year
The sales of loose leaf tobacco on
the local market for the season just
closed amounted to 7,218,645, at an
averave price of s15.34 per 100
pounds, as compared with sales OF
the preceding season Of 6,919.S50
pounds at an average price OF IS. 10

continue to show large increases over
last year. Collections continue good.
Failures for this district show apslight
decrease in number. but large In
crease in liza bilities.
Crop report-Winter grain crops
show Improvement in comparison
with the earlier reports. but the
weather continues rather cool for
rapid growing. The acreage to be
planted In food crops will be limited
only by the amount of farm labor
to be had. Present indications are
that acreage Of cotton and tobacco
will not be increased over last year.
An unprecedented amount of garden

LITTLE. DISTURBANCE.
SEEN IN BUSINESS

New York. May +.-Dun's Weekly Re
View of Trade tomorrow will say:
a month of readjustment to new
conditions has brought little disturb
ahce in business and only in relatively
few instances are signs of special hesi-
tation apparent. I.essening of ordi
nary demands has continued in some
important branches. largely because of
the extreme prices. and backward
weather has retarded retail distribu-
ton Of seasonable merchandise in most
sections of the Country.
Yet the growing crops reflect appre-
clable improvements. with winter wheat
promising more abundant harvest
than recently seemed likely and the
betterment In the agricultural outlook
means much in a year when big yields
are more than ever needed.
Conservatism is still a dominant note
In reports from some of the principa
centers especially In the East but
while regular transactions fall below
the previous maximum. the extensive
government requirements have a slim
ulating effect in many directions, and
manufacturing continues under high
pressure.
1t remains the fact that in the Lead
ing industries more business is iseing
offered than can be accepted. for most
of the works are in an oversold po-
stion and are confronted with grow
ing shortage Of both materials and
labor. Yet more plentiful fuel supplies
have aided operations. and with more
furnaces in blast. the daily rate of pig
iron output In April was greater than
IN any other month excepting last Oc-
toher.
Complaints Of transportation conges-
ton continue and shipments and re-
mittances alike are affected. but credit
conditions are favorable and CONNER
cial failures are comparatively few in
number and involve "a moderate in
dehtedness. Aside from railway earn
tngs. which disclose declines in net
revenues, the general statistical ex-
hibit is gratifying. and bank clearings
outside New York during April were
3D. per cent larger than last year,
though considerable part OF the in
crease may be properly attributed to
the steadily rising commodity prices.
