NEW ORLEANS, August 3.-Tangi-
BILE evidence of a revival of general
business in this section has become
apparent from increase in the volume
of orders received by jobbers and
wholesalers from interior points. For
the first time in months there has
been a disposition on the part of
country merchants to buy for future
needs. Buyers for the largest lumber
concerns are here stocking up their
commissaries to care for the increased
number Of men being employed. In
creasing stability in prices for the
chief agricultural products and In
creased demand for lumber are held
responsible.
There is a general feeling here that
the government prediction for a small
cotton crop and the estimate that the
stock carried over from last year
will be from q million to q million and
a half bales less than expected, have
removed doubt as to the future OF cot
ton prices for the year. Feeling that
they will receive an adequate price
for cotton has been intensified among
farmers since the conference Of south
ern bankers and cotton men at wash
ington some weeks ago.
The new rice crop is bringing a pre-
MUM of a half cent to q cent and a
half over the old crop. owing to the
better grade Of the new crop, and de-
