Business Is on Upgrade,
-. But Progress Is Slight
BY JAMES ALLERTON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
veiopment of business in general in
this territory SO far this week has
been slight but promising for con-
tinued Improvement. The slightly
warmer weather has not sufiiced to
check the impetus for fall buying
which the cooler days promoted. In
the wholesale trade distribution con

been an Improvement in demand for
woolenS and mems and women's ap-
parel.
General improvement in the finan-
cial condition of the railroads in this
section. as shown in statements re-
Gently made public, is expected to
have a heartening effect on steel and
lumber markets. It's estimated that
deferred maintenance operations will
require forty million ties. a million
tons of steel rails and ten million
cubic yards of ballast. While the
roads will not be in the market for
their entire requirements this fall,
1t is believed that the amounts they
will purchase will be large enough to
materially better the situation
Estimates that there are now nearly
half million men out Of employment
the fact that the improvement in
industries at the present rate will
not suffice to care for the excess of
labor this winter. Building opera
tions in this section continue to in
crease, with corresponding firmness
in the prices Of most building ma

Special Dispatch to The star.
ST. PAUL August 30.-A noticeable
revival of building operations in the
last few weeks has been the outstand-
ing. feature Of business conditions in
J this section. More homes and fats are
being erected at this time than at any
period since the war ended. The
shortage of homes and realization of
the fact that building costs will be
little if any lower-next spring than at
present have stimulated the revival.

STOCKS Stronger
AND MORE ACTIVE
Cotton and Sterling Move to
Higher Levels and Help
Shares.
BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK. August 30-A further
rise in cotton prices, an advance IN
exchange rates which carried sterling
to the highest in nearly two months.
free offerings Of call money at Az
per cent and another series OF favor
able traffic statements for the month
of July were the principal influences
in the situation today.
Business In stocks fell off consider
ably, even as compared with the mod
crate totals of previous days.
The investment bond list was not
as dull as stocks, but still reflected
some decline in interest from the
close of last week.
The share market was important
not because Of what it did but be-
cause of what it did not do.
The share market was a surprise
to the professional element. 1t has
been the common experience OF the
past few months that after day or
two Of active short covering the SELL
ing movement has been resumed and
has found stocks vulnerable again.
Many traders doubtless looked for
this to occur again after the upturn
from last Friday to yesterdays close.
A STEADY Advance.
But. on the contrary. prices did not
but held consistently steady in the
face of extreme dullness until half
way through the session. Then the
upward swing was resumed, trading
became much more active and there
was lively bidding for stocks all
along the line.
The buying movement in cotton was
evidently proceeding under the mo-
mentum gathered during the unin-
terrupted advance of last week.
Whether or not this extraordinary
upswing will have overdiscounted the
showing to be made in the coming
government report is an interesting
question. But in the meantime cot
ton is having precisely the expe-
rience which every line Of trade has
when the turn comes following a pro-
longed period of depression.
Everybody is afraid to buy while
prices are going down. The DISPOSE
the price level. until it is reasonably
sure that quotations will not go low
er still. When at length it has be-
come certain that the bottom has
been reached, the whole mood of buy
ers changes and there starts an eager
ments long postponed for fear that
the bargain prices will disappear al
together.
Repl0Ele and vanadium.
The upturn in RepIogle steel and
in Vanadium was accounted for not
by any trade developments in these
two companies. but. rather, by the
market position in their stocks. Dur
in the smash last December. J. L. Re-
plogle and his frinds were reported
as having taken over some $1,000
shares of Replogle stock, which had
been pressing upon the markt. and
could not otherwise be sold.
The average price paid was about
$35. that is. fifteen points above
where the stock was sellin up to
today.
The floating supply was thoroughly
cleared up. and this mornings move
was simply the marking up Of the
price at a time when steel trade
sentiment seemed a trifle more favor
able and whe nthere was no offering
to spak of at anything like the low
figures. Vanadium went along with
Replogle. 1t. too, is supposed to be
very closely held as the result Of the
absorption. which has been going on
in the stock on scale orders.
