MEN AND BUSINESS
By RICHARD SPILLANE.

1t will be the fault OF man and
not OF nature II the cost OF living
is not reduced this fall. The crops
continue to show better and better,
and prices of such important staples
as cotton, corn wheat. coffee, pota-
toes and hay are declining steadily
as the yields promise to be bigger
and bigger.
Cotton will go into the month of
August with prospects that seemed
impossible a few months ago. From
the worst condition on record il has
risen to a. stage of health and
growth fully up to the average.
July and August are the trying
months. The plant probably will
show d condition OF 75 per cent in
the government report issued next
Monday. If August does as well by
the plant as has July, this will be
one OF the most remarkable years
in cotton history.
Wheat has duplicated the good
performance of cotton and so has
corn. Shortage of those crops-and
it seemed few months ago that
this was probable-would have been
serious indeed-meant bread prices
here and abroad higher than ever
known. That danger not only is
past, but the problem now has
turned to moving the crops.

farmers could get all the ties nee

Transportation continues to be

Continued Industrial Transition and
DoubtFeaturesMonth' s Trade Reuiew

Uncertainty and the continuance
OF industrial transition have been
the Characteristic feature of the
month of July in the business
field, according to the review OF
general business and financial con-
ditions outlined by the Federal Re
serve Board in its bulletin for this
month. The report from the Third
district, of which Philadelphia is
the headquarters, Is that industrial
activity in many lines has been
slowed up during the past few
months; the textile industry has
been seriously affected: iron and
steel and the allied lines are soreiy
tried by the transportation situa-
ton, and the most encouraging fac
tor is the improving attitude of la
bor."
Some districts report that the
price cutting movement begun in
May and continued through June is
slowing down. while in other dis
tricts reduction of prices is re-
ported still in progress" the board
found. Industrial activity in many
lines, has been shortened in conse-
quence of lowers demand, cancel
lation of orders and general read
Justment.
In some districts. however, pro-
duction continues upon old orders
which are still on the books: despite
the fact that new business has
fallen of In agricultural regions
improved crop conditions and the
development of more confident
tone in business are reported to
have brought about a turn distinct
ly for the better. Speculation In
commodities is in many parts of the
country reported to have been
greatly reduced. and in some prac-
tically eliminated.
rhere is a general feeling that
extravasant buying is at least less
dangerous than IL was
some time ago, while labor in many
parts of the country Is reported as
increasing in efficiency and a bet

"one notable feature of the bust
ness situation during the month
has been a change in labor condi-
ton," the report says. AN i'm
portant factor in this connection
has been the development of unem-
ployment in, various parts of the
country. This unemployment has
been apparently chiefly due to three
factors.
where transportation prevented d
deliveries Of fuel and raw mate
rails some plants have been obliged
to curtail operations and thereby
reduce opportunities for employ
ment pending better conditions: in
other manufacturing districts the
shutting down of mills as a result
of cancellation Of orders and lack
of demand has also thrown con-
siderable forces of men out of
work; elsewhere: inability to obtain
capital, for construction and conse-
quent abandonment or suspension OF
Undertakings that had been con-
templated have produced certain
