was the first to be affected by the collapse in the raw material markets, is now recovering. That crisis seems to have passed Building also in New York and northern New Jersey has in creased, although wage difficulties and lack of stability in prices prevent d larger increase But there Is an in- crease.
 The department stores in the east report that they are doing a fair trade. But the greater part of this trade. is for articles that are Of daily need. Expensive goods or Articles of luxury continue to await purchasers.
 In the Middle West
 The investigation which has just been made shows that in the middle west the automobile industry is rapidl / recovering from it's recent slump. The number of employees in this industry increased in April by nearly 25 per cent The manufacturers have oh served, too, that the wage earners in this industry are not stacking, but arc trying to give full value in service for the wages which they receive.
 The mail order houses which do d very large business in the middle west when prosperity prevails, but which were for time compelled to submit to a heavy setback when deflation was under way and when the public re- fused to buy, are now recovering. Through these mail order houses many thousands make their purchases of nec- essaries and they are now by their in- creased buying making it plain that the time when they carried on so- called buyers strike has passed
 The Promise of the Harvest
 One of the most encouraging fea- lures to be found in the report which has just been made by those who have investigated business and industrial conditions is the promise of wonder full perhaps an unprecedented harvest of cereals this year. Unless there should be unfavorable weather condt tions in the midsummer and early fall the crops are sure to be of enormous yield. and may be of so great yield as to be in excess of any harvest or other years If the weather be la vorable. probably 630,000,000 bushels of Winter wheat will be harvested, In addition 72.000,0 ,000 bushels of rye will be harvested and hay will probably yield at least 1aS ,o00.0o0 tons. If so mary tons of hay be yielded, then the hay harvest will be almost exactly equal to that of last year. Whatever may be the return from rne cotton indus try in the south, it seems probable that the harvest of hay converted into money or meat will represent more dollars than the harvesting of cot ton.
 The investigators found that cror conditions in several of the southern states were not very promising. They also learned that the farmers this year will not be compelled to plead with the government or with state organiZa- tions for aid in securing farm labor. That labor will be plentiful and it will command smaller wages than were paid last year.

 New York, June 5.-( Special )-Bos. ton was the first of the federal re- serve districts to reduce the bulk dis count rate. Therefore, it was as- sumed that in New England business conditions were improved or at least that the money and credit situation had been so relieved as to make it DOS. sible for business to improve This surmise is found to have been in part correct. The great wooden manufac- tories at Lawrence which are known as the Walworth mills, are reporting increased activity. Late in the fall Mr Walworth said to his friends in New York that he was convinced that inn provement in the wooden industry could be reported about the first of January, this year. But it is not onl,- Tn the wooden and worsted mills, but also in the cotton mills that improve ment has come. In fact. many of the cotton mills of New England are now operating 'Apon full time and the lars [, est cotton goods plant in the country has been thus operating since early spring.
 Massachusetts produces shoes and boots m so great amount as to make that state the leading one in that in- dustrS- Boston is the center of tha trade and the reduction of the discount rates by the federal reserve bank at Boston was coincident in point of time with increased sales of boots and shoes.
 Perplexed and embarrassed by strikes of the building trades, nevertheless gained an increase in building since March of about 35 per cent. Woolen and worsted goods and also cotton goods as well as boot and shoes are necessaries of life. It is reasonable. therefore, that the industrial improve ment in New England should have been first observed in articles which are necessary.
 Some attempt has been made re- gently to learn what the business COZ ditions are in every section of, the country. The result justifies the state. ment that business is still "spotty." Nevertheless, the investigation has been so thorough as to make it cer tain that A. C. Bedford, Judge Lovett. Charles M. Schwab and President Vau- claim of the Baldwin company did not eXaggerate when they said recently that the peak of depression is passed.
 In the eastern section the automo bile industry is furnishing some en- couraging features. The demand for automobiles is now large, although there was temporary falling off few weeks ago Therefore, the manufac- turers of autos have been compelled to buy the products of the iron and steel industry Yet the iron and steel industry is now operating in the east at not more than 40 per cent of it's ca pacity.
 Where Improvement Is Noticed
 As is the case of New England, so Pennsylvania, the textile industry is now operating upon much larger scale than it was able to operate early in the year The silk industry whct

GREECE. HARD UP

 VEN|ZELOS OUSTED
Docks, Warehouses and Gus toms Houses Choked With Merchandise. Due to h.
 ability to Pay for Same
By Associated Press

Athens, June s.-Business in Greece has fallen off to such an extent that American commercial represent tatives find themselves without anything to do Trade in all lines has become stag nant The shipping business is pros trated. The only vessels to arrive in Saloniki harbor during the last three weeks were two hospital ships bearing dead and wounded from the Anatolian ffont.
 The government is buying nothing except limited quantity of food sup plies for the army It is withholding payment on all outstanding accounts Every franc is needed for the Asia Minor campaign.
 The Greek franc Cor drachma) has only one third it's former value. Th> cost of life was never higher, the morale of the people seldom lower The price of bread was advanced 40 per cent a few days ago. The army is costing 100000 francs day. For eign observers are agreed that the country cannot go on without finan- cial crisis
 The defeat of venzelos and the re- turn of King Constantine has affected all business in country where coIrl- nerce and politics are closely assso- ciated. The blockade of foreign ctedits, the rapid decline in the erachma, and uncertainty as to the future has resulted in commercial pa ralysis.
 Greece feels especially her inability to use the $33,000.000 credit she. has in the United States. The American state department has made it clear that this cannot be touched until the question of recognition of the King is settled. Constantine insists he never abdicated, and refuses to recog- nize the legality of his son Alexander's reign. This attitude may have an inn portant bearing upon America's policy toward Greece and the question of the S33,000,000 credit.
 The docks, warehouses and customs house in Piraeus (the port of Athens) are choked with merchandise, due to the inability of the purchasers to pay for it. The same condition prevails at Saloniki Smyrna and Constantl- nople Orders have been cancelled by the wholesale.
