Special Dispatch to The Star
! ST. LOUIS, April 22.-Signs of prog
| ress in the return of general business
to normal conditions are multiplying
| in this district. The chief manifesto
| ders for goods in the category of
personal consumption. Such impor-
| tant lines as boots and shoes, cloth
| ing. groceries, woodenware, drugs
| and chemicals and furniture show
| gains during the first three weeks
OF April of from II to As per cent
over the corresponding period in
| February and March in orders for i'm
| mediate shipment.
Furthermore. there has been a
marked picking up in collections, the
proceeds of which are being deVot-
ed by large mercantile interests to
reducing their loans at the banks;
This Improvement. however. has
not extended to commodities based
on coal and steel. nor to goods which
depend upon the building industry
for their outlet into consumption. The
recent price cuts by the Steel Cor
poration have thus far been utterly
unproductive of stimulation to pur-
chasing of iron and steel wares.
Sales of pig iron are the smallest on
record here in more than two dec
AIDES.
While the banking position has
augmented symptoms of strength
there has been no easing in money
rates and nothing in the situation
just now would lead to the belief
that there will be in the near future.
The demand for credits continues
heavy, all slack created by mercan-
tile settlements being taken up by
needs of agriculturists for spring
farm operations.
The general trend of commodities
continues lower though the downward
movement is at a considerably less
acute angle than heretofore, except
in the case of cereals, which have
touched new low levels on the move
ment. Wheat has led the decline.
with the July option breaking be-
low the 81 mark at Kansas City for
the first time since 1914. Flour has
followed wheat. certain grades being
50 lower than on March Is. Bread,
however. has not Joined the DOWN
ward procession, the loaf being just
as about as costly as when raw ma
teriaIs were at their apex.
In the Kansas and Oklahoma oil
fields there is a belief that crude oil
prices have about touched the bottom.
Decreased production has served to
offset the apathetic demand. and an
ticipation of seasonal consumption by
motorists in late spring and early
summer is Strengthening the feeling.

TO DISCUSS REVISIONS

Articles Concerning Numerical
 Strength of Council and Those of Inspector in the Fore.
 Final action will not be taken at tonights meeting of the charter re- vision committee in the office of the mayor on any of the subjects under consideration. since the mayor has expressed a desire to hold at least one public hearing before the report goes to the council for action. It is expected that the board will devote a greater part Of it's time this eve ming to discussion of the proposed cutting in numerical strength of the council. and the proposed changes in the plumbing inspectors office. The proposal to have the office of plumb ing inspector appointive seems to meet with little favor although it is possible that there will be change in the method of appointment.
