Guaranty Trust Company. out today.
Complete readjustment has not been
reached. however, and the trust COM
pany feels it may be years before
this is accomplished. The Survey
continues: ANY broad readjustme Mt
of commodity prices necessarily in
wolves changes in wages also. There
are exceptions, of course. AS in the
case of prices. some wage scales now
remain at the high levels reached in
the boom period"
BOSTON. April 25.-Reports not
only from this district, but from New
York and St. Louis, declare that
broadening demand is accelerating the
liquidation of the large leather stocks
held for some time. In the shoe trade
production is increasing and orders
for future delivery are being literally
placed. For time this spring the de-
mand in feathers and shoes ran so
completely to novelties there was some
concern in the trade when this demand
suddenly ceased.

true. but they are hesitant. and only

steady improvement is noted. while the

Retail distribution of silks is said to

BOSTON April 25--Business condi-
tionS in New England are showing a
slow but steady Improvement
The movement is spotty. with the
situation varying markedly, not only
in different Industries. but in differ
ont lines of the same industry. Sem
timent among bankers in this center,
while still conservative, is becoming
increasingly hopeful.
Retail trade in Boston holds up
astonishingly well. 1t is estimated
that retail prices today average ~
per cent under those of r ago.
Taking this factor into consideration
the actual movement Of goods at re-
tail is larger than year ago.
Nomen's Goods Selling Better.
The stores catering to women's ap-
parel are doing relatively better than
dealers in mems goods.
This steady consumption is begin
ming to have it's inevitable erect upon
The buying of heavy woolen goods
has surprised even the manufacturers
themselves, and most of the mills
have all the orders they can handle
for fall delivery. These orders were
obtained by price cuts. however,
the manufacturers. The American
Woolcn Company is working up TO
capacity operations just as rapidly
as it can.
Fine Textiles Selling.
In the cotton end of the textile trade
the fine goods are selling and the
coarse goods are not. There has been
a big demand for ginghams. percales,
sheetings. towels and some other
duck. bag fabrics. tire and automo-
bile supplies and rubberized clothes is
poor.
The raw wool market is just about
holding it's own, which is all that can
be expected. 1t is estimated that the
supply of wool in the United States
on July next. when the clip has been
made. will total s25,000,000 pounds.
Normal consumption in the United
States before the war was about $780,
100000 pounds year.
Better Leather Feeling.
There is a better feeling in the
leather market. The supply of hides
has been pretty well cleaned up. Some
important tanners, furthermore. are
practically without hides, although
they have large supply of leather
on hand. The supply of leather is
very large, but sales are increasing.
The spring buying which started in
psecialties is increasing in staple
lines. Sales of women's footwear hold
up particularly well and mems shoes
are more active. although a so per
cent average of capacity is about all
the New England mems factories can
boast of. Labor costs are still high
in the shoe industry.
