Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. October 4.-The Jew
ish holidays yesterday and today have
brought many of the textile manufac-
turing and garment industries to a
virtual standstill, but business will
resume with renewed activity tomor-
row. Relief from the unseasonably
warm weather is counted on to give
added stimulus to both wholesale and
retail trade.
Unmistakable evidence of the turn
for the better in industry in this Sec
tion is seen in the fact that for the
first time in months the number of
steerage passengers leaving New
York for Europe has fallen below the
number arriving from foreign ports.
While industrial plants and those en-
ploying unskilled labor were at 4
standstill. jobless labOrers of foreign
birth left the country in large num-
bers for their former homes. where
they could live at less expense than
in America. Now this exodus seems
to have been checked and many who
left are returning.
Continued building activity in this
section has resulted in increased
prices for many basic building ma
terials Brick has advanced 81 a
thousand wholesale and now is sell
ing at SIG. Many grades of lumber
have advanced in price.

Marketing of Grain Crop
Slight Stimulus to Trade
nv t. q. McKENNA,


Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. PAUL, October 4.-The harvest
Ing and marketing of the northwest
ern grain crop has been a slight
stimulus, but has not brought the
usual increase in business. The cas-
ing Of the credit situation has enabled
growers to hold their wheat for
higher prices instead of marketing
1t. A canvass among sixty business
men in this district indicated that
the majority believed trade was sta
tionary and below normal. while a
minority believed it to be improving.
Wholesale trade has shown some
Improvement this week. City retail
dealers are beginning to stock up
for the holidays. Merchants are using
more advertising space in the daily
papers and more of them are adver-
tising.
There is no material change in the
employment situation. Many plans
have been offered for taking care of
the jobless, and some business houses
are adding to their forces in the be-
lief that trade will increase enough
to justify putting on additional help.
One. plan for creating employment
proposes advancing the cleanup sea-
son from spring to fall.

PITTSBURGH, October 4.-There is
improvement in industries in this sec
ton which does not appear to the
casual observer and. which has not yet
been reflected in the markets for the
commodities involved. This is espe-
cially true of coal. Many Of the large
Industrial companies in this territory
produce a certain amount of the coal
they consume, while the remainder
is purchased in the open market. At
present such companies are produc-
ing enough coal for immediate needs.
but continued expansion will bring
them into the open market.
Coal production has increased more
than the market indicates and the
average bituminous output now has
reached about 65 per cent Of normal.
although it is not so high by half In
this immediate vicinity owing to the
fact that union mines here are paying
higher wages than non-union mines
in otherbsections.
steel production continues to In
crease and other lines of industry also
show Improvement. Merchants have
come to the conclusion that there Is
business to be had If they go after IT.,
