NEW YORK. May 9-Despite price
cutting and the advance of the sea-
son usually marked by extensive op-
erations. the building and equipment
industries in this section are tagging
in way which suggests that war
time freight rates are having a very
serious effect upon proposed peace
time building programs. That re-
adjustment of freight rates will be
made seems certain. but it appears
to be equally certain that the re-
,, adjustment will come too late to be
of benefit in the present building
season. Building is decidedly a sea-
sonable industry.
NEW YORK. May a.-The cond-

worse than recent figures have in
dicated The Federal Reserve Board
has issued an explanation as to why
the governments figures of exports
from TINS country remained so high
after it was known that the trade
was falling off. giving two reasons.
One is that delay in the monthly
compilations by the Department of
Commerce necessitated the inclusion
OF some figures from previous months
IN the totals of subsequent months.
The other is that numerous ship
ments of goods. which were reported
as usual in the official statistics. were
refused by their foreign consignees,
either through inability of the i'm
porter TO pay or because he was un-
Wiling TO face losses due to a fall
in prices.
NEW YORK. May 9.-Commodity
SITUATIONS here at the beginning of

Cotton goods-Market steady, with
prices in the gray or unfinished goods
division showing exceptional strength
and small gains. Trading not large,
but demand continuous.
Silks-Passing through the usual
late spring let down in activity, but
large producers are confident of a
good fall season which will begin late
this month. Raw silk prices again
show instability. Silk hosiery is ex-
tremely active and all retail lines are
moving actively.
Woolens-Have shown little change
in past few days. Spring season is
about ended and jobbers are making
some concessions to clear remnants.
Movement of raw wool has been
somewhat accelerated, but prices un-
changed.

banking circles is growing that the
worst of the industrial depression has
been seen. With Improvement IN
credit conditions and Il lowering OF
costs. the feeling is that business Will
be a good deal more active.
1t must be admitted, however. that
to date in New England the improve
ment has been largely sentimental
The retail buying of automobiles
which was on very good scale dur
ing the latter part of March and IN
April, has flattened out this month
due largely to the announced price
reductions by several known makes
of ears and the public expectation
that other price cuts are to follow.

market in better shape, although the
supplies of leather are so large that
no material advance in quotations is
business has quieted down from It's
squirt in the early spring.
WOmen's Footwear Features.
The buying has been centered in
women's footwear and specialties and
the orders for these have fallen on
with the filling of the spring demand.
The trouble with the mems shoe buSl-
ness is that wages have not been cut
at all. Labor costs. therefore. are as
high as they ever have been and the
public is frankly refusing to buy un-
til they come down.
The building trades are Suu out on
strike. which has been in effect since
January. although the contractors are
trying to run with an open shop.
Some of the big building jobs in Bos-
ton are being worked in deSultory
fashion.
Open Shop Labor Issue.
The printing trades are on strike
because of the master printers re-
fusal 10 adopt a fortyfour-hour

cut off relations with the unions and
are trying to operate open shops.
The clothing makers are still! on
strike, while the clothing manufaC-
turers are attempting TO operate open
shops. This last strike has been on
for months, with the result that many
large clothing manufacturing con-

Rates to Eastern Markets
Stir Pacific Coast Traders
BY LYNN e. SIMPSON.
pecisl Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 9.-The hear
Ing of the interstate commerce rep
resentatives here on freight rates has
forced attention on the condition of
the fruit and vegetable growers of
California who have built uD an
enormous trade in shipments to east
ern markets Present freight rates
are prohibitive, and unless there is a
reduction the situation in the districts
which furnish these products will be-
come critical.
cantaloupes are now beginning to
move. but the shipments are too
small TO be important Early priccs
were high enough to make freights A
minor matter, but the bulk of the
crop, declare the growers must re-
main in the fields if freights are not
materially lowered.
The situation in the onion market is
shown by few instances At one Of
the interior shipping points last week
5000 sacks of the best onions were
destroyed. They cost sl.25 a sack
and the best price offered was 10
cents a sack. A large part of the po-
tato crop was not harvested.
Gamers Make No Contracts.
The representatives of the Gamers
have studied conditions in the peach
belt, but have refused to make con-
tracts. They confirm the reports of
damage in the Sacramento valley re-
SiOH " men produces a large part OF
the canning peaches. Frost claimed
half the crop.
In spite of the unfavorable freight
rates and the losses sustained last
year, the rice acreage. according to
the representatives of the Rice Grow
"rs' Association. will be over I25.O00
acres. which is about 25.O0O below
last seasons high mark. One eXpla-
nation given by broker for this
heavy planting is that even at the
present low prices rice viii pay bet
ter than barley and the demand is
more certain.
The rapid decline of farm prices in
the country is well illustrated hy
alfalfa. which is selling as low as SIS
a ton in the fields where last year IL

Cotton Sales in Germany
Boost Texas Optimism
BY JAMES r.. RECORD.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

FORT WORTH, Tex, May 9.-The
sale of 700 bales of Texas cotton in
Germany, increased optimism on the
part of mohair and wool growers.
the. first stirring Of better retail
business in the fruit districts and
bettering of the employment sit
uation are the features of the COM
merclal situation in this section of
the southwest.
A cut in the price of oil discouraged
producers and drillers, though this
was partly Offset by the bringing in
OF several medium-sized gushers.
Big Shipment to Hamburg.
The cotton sale to Germany may
mark new era for the Texas pro-
ducers, though it is too early yet to
make any prediction about future
trading. Bell county farmers last
winter pooled 1,500 bales of cotton,
employed selling agent on a COM
mission basis and shipped the entire
lot to Hamburg.
The cotton was sold IA four grades
and brought, respectively IL, 10. 8 and
cents per pound net - the owners
A fifty-bale lot had been previously
NspoSed of and the remainder of 400
Uales is expected to be sold soon.
When the cotton arrived in Ger
many it is said that conditions were
decidedly adverse to profitable sale,
but of late there has been marked
Improvement.
MOhafr and Wool Confidence.
The confidence of the mohair and
wool growers is based upon the pend :
ing tariff bill. under which. they
think. they will be amply protected.
A delegation of Texans from the wool
district has just returned from Wash
ington with encouraging news.
Employment is increasing. Farm
ers are calling for cotton choppers.
and grain growers will soon start the
threshing gangs to work. Already
some of the harvesting has begun.
though on a small scale yet. The first
central Texas wheat will be cut this
month. while the big grain-growing z
territory on the Panhandle and
north Texas will be ready for the
harvesters in June. 1t is estimated
that 10000 to $1,000 workmen Will be
needed for this years harvest. ~Plenty
of men are available, however.

TRIBUTE TO THE LATE

You'd
Mrs. Gamble was a resident of Ter
rell county. She had resided near Par
rott for a half century or longer. She
was formerly Miss Mary Catherine
Brown, OF Talbot county. She was
married to John Thomas Gamble, OF
Macon, during the year 1869. Shortly
alter they were married they moved
to this county and have since made
their home here This union was one
OF JOY and happiness.
Mrs. Gamble had reached the age
OF II years and was the mother of
nine cqildren, six of whom she reared
to be useful men and women. No
mother could have been more loving
or more self-sacrihcing; no friend
more tender and true She was loved
and respected by her friends and wor-
shipped by her children. No task was
ever too hard or sacrifice too great
for her to make for them. No mother
will be so truly missed, yet we know
that our loss was her gain. We will
not think OF her as dead, but as one
gone on before to await our coming.
She cannot come back to us, but we
can go 10 her Without this one hope
what a dreadful thing our last good
bye would be-
Her body was laid to rest in the
cemetery at Sardis church, where she
has been faithful member Her mem
bership was placed there at the be-
ginning OF her residence here and she
has proved herself true to every ideal
.Of her church. Funeral services were
conducted by her former pastor, Rev.
NJ B. L. Binion, who paid a beautiful
and appropriate tribute to the sainted
dead.
The deceased had been in failing
health for sometime and for the last
seven weeks her condition had been
serious. All that loving friends and
medical aid could do proved useless,
so God called her home to dwell with
him. We cannot understand why He
Iplucks Our choicest flowers, but we
only know He doeth all things we'll"
She is survived by her five sons and
quite a number OF grandsons and grand
daughters.
