CENTRAL WEST SALES
SHOW GOOD INCREASES
Collections Continue at High
Level-Some Hesitation Due
to War Uncertainties
Chicago. Sept.

ShtcagO, Sept. l. .a
NO new feature of Importance has de-
veloped in the business situation Of the
Central West during the last week
Naturally there is great deal of hest
tation in all nonessential trades. be-
cause of war uncertainties, and this is
beginning to show up more forcibly in
some sections than heretofore.
The loading reports of railroads are
rejecting the conditions by smaller
volume of tonnage than for the same
week year ago On the other hand GER
tain trade authorities. including dry
goods and others in the general mer-
chandise field, report that sales during
August were well ahead of the corr
responding month last year
1t is also pointed out that the current
month has opened with good sales in
creases in many departments and that
collections continue at high level. While
this situation is encouraging. the elimi-
nation OF nonessential products in bust
ness generally is responsible for the de-
creases which are shown in many lines
In certain trades, particularly indus
trial lines, it is o case of insufticiency Of
material rather than a demand, whereas
short time ago it was a matter of in
adequate transportation.
The railroad situation has improved
materially of late. and for the time
being at least there is nothing to be
feared which will cause congested CON
ditions such as OCCUR during winter
months.
