Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURGH, September 27.-All
lines Of business are improving in this
territory and. while gains in many in
stances are not extensive, they suggest
healthy growth and stability. The
district is feeling the effect Of steel
plant resumption and increased opera
tons in that basic industry. Growing
pay rolls are making an impression on
general business.
The advancing prices which have been
recorded in some lines of steel products
have been more productive of orders
than were the reductions announced
earlier in the year. The entire steel
market Is firmer and, whereas price,
cutting generally was practiced a short
t1me ago, manufacturers now are in
clined to hold for open quotations or
still higher figures. A further expan-
sion in the steel output Is taking place
this week and kindred industries will
snow similar improvement.
The natural gas companies serving
this district shortly will raise the rates
cents per 1000 cubic feet, from IS
to so cents. This action is expected to
increase domestic demand for coal. The
coal market here is still dull, with a
large part of the buying in the open
market. Wage scales in several
branches Of the building trades have
been agreed upon this week and work
soon will start on important structures.

manufacturers have their plants run

ton. Distributors Of dry goods and no.

Cotton Situation.

Cotton SITUATION
With the cotton trade the question
of the last week or more had been
whether the sensational private esti-
mates of crop damage ought to be the
prime consideration or whether more
heed should not be taken Of the threat
that the spinning industry would cur
tail production rather than follow
prices up any further. AS 1t turned
out. the argument of the short crop
and the suggestion even of an actual
scarcity in the world supply before
the end of the crop year proved the
dominating factor.
Today's upturn was largely assisted
by a revival of export orders, which
gave the impression that foreigners
were once more becoming solicitous
on the question Of their future re-
quirements.

Marks Again Weak.
The two incidents Of the day which
came in for most attention were a
further violent fall in German ex-

hesitation, in the advance in cotton.
German marks were even weaker than
yesterday. selling as low as S1.100 Of

has been at any time.
The idea that this decline cannot go
on much longer. that the German gov

conflicts with the other view, which
