PART SURVEY
GIVES PROOF
OF i. S. GAIN
Business Conditions
Show Revival of
Confidence.
Special 80 Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
By RICHARD SPlLEANE.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 12.-
One-half of the journey planned in a
survey Of business conditions in the
United States and Canada having
been covered, it may be Illuminating
and possibly impressive to review
some Of the most important facts
brought out and some Of the changes
that have taken place in conditions
generally meanwhile. Unquestiona-
bly,, there has been a decided i'm
provement in the whole structure of
business. Unquestionably more men
will be at work this winter than
seemed likely two months ago, I'm
questionably there has been a revival
of confidence to a fair degree.
If the same measure OF betterment is
discovered on the second han OF the
trip, 1921, will not have been so bleak
a year commercially, financially and in
dustrially ms was threatened.
TEXTILES. FIRST TO
COLLAPSE. REVIVE.
The first major industry to collapse in
the great depression was that of textiles.
By the same token it has been the first
to revive. Today there are more spindles
and looms In operation than ever be-
fore in the Nations history There are
appro ximately SO0.OOO persons employed
IN textile manufacturing. Wholesale and
retail merchants say they have no sur
plus stocks. Warehouses are bare Of
goods. The volume of purchasing is de
clared to be above that of 1920 but mer-
chants have to work prices down con
siderably. Throughout the retail dry
goods trade It is accepted that business
must be conducted on a smaller margin
OF profit then heretofore. Also II is de-
clared that the American public has been
educated to an appreciation of the worth
Of good materials. There Is a noticeable
drop in the purchasing of flimsy, shoddy
stuffs.
An event of high importance received
less attention than 1us eTfect a this
time warranted. The Government report
us to the shortage of the cotton crop
Of 1921 sent the price of cotton up over
night from about Il cents pound to
above IS. This advance affects not only
the crop of this year but the huge sur
plus of 1920. All told the volume of
the raw cotton in America has been in
creased perhaps $40O,OO0.OO0. Many Of
the thousands of banks in the South
loaded up with cotton loans were barely
functioning. The change in the cotton
situation has cleared them OF their
