ent expansion in the demand for prac-
tically all commodities.
Among other favorable signs in the
business situation is the fact that the
number of building permits issued
has been increasing steadily during
1922. In the Third Federal Reserve
District, 1886 permits were issued in
April, as compared with 1857 in
March, 2,0S1 in February, and 1923
in January. Permits to the number of
1,514 were issued in Philadelphia
alone during April, as against 1,464
in March. Of particular significance
also is the increase in the untitled
orders of the United States Steel Cor
poration from 4, ,494,14 tons on March
81 to 5,O96,917 tons on April 80.
Moreover, the output of steel ingots
and pig iron has increased. During
March, 2,37O,751 gross tons of steel
ingots We're produced, as compared
with 1,745,022 in February. During
April there was a further gain, to
2,439,246 tops. Of pig iron, 1922
991 tons were produced in February,
2,035,920 in March, and 2,072,114 in
April. In addition to these things,
the number of car loadings has in
creased, although in the two weeks
after the beginning of the coal strike
thew declined sharply. In the week
ending April 20, 75s,2S6 cars We're
loaded, as against 714,OSS in the week
ending April %, and 7O6,713 in the
week ending April Is. For the week
ending April 20 all classes of COM
modities, with the exception of coal,
showed gains over the same week of
1921. But the loadings of coal, dur
ing the last week reported, were 49,
900 cars greater than those of the
preceding week.

pecially white shoes, but sales are by
no means up to expectations. The
leather markets also are still dull,
although there have been slight gains
in calf and kid. These have been in
duced through price concessions. Pat
ent feathers are still the most active
of the feathers, and at generally
steady prices; but slight advances are
reported in some quarters. Sole
feathers are moving slowly, the prin-
cipal demand coming from the repair
trade. Manufacturers of betting
leather report somewhat larger sales,
and betting butts are improving
steadily. The hide market is compar-
atively inactive, but prices remain
firm. Calf skins are somewhat high
er in price and sales are larger. The
market for goat skins, on the other
hand, is dull, and quotations are lower
Paper manufacturers report a
slight improvement, but the demand
as whole is still little more than
fair. Newspaper and book papers
are selling we'll because of the large
increase in the volume of advertising.
Advertising in both the newspapers
and the magazines has increased tre-
mendously during the past six weeks.
Wrapping papers show no material
change, but sales of paper bags are
off. Prices as whole remain firm.
There has been a slight increase in
the call for paper boxes, but price
cutting in the industry is still severe.
Box board is slightly cheaper in price.
A seasonal increase has occurred in
the demand for cigars, but the volume
of business thus far is still unsatis-
factory. Production has expended
somewhat and is now about 70 per
cent of capacity. Few price changes
have been reported. The leaf tobacco
market is seasonably dull, for the
most of the buying is done in the
fall and winter. The recent auction
sales of Sumatra leaf in Holland re-
corded higher prices, but little buying
was done on American account.
Manufacturers of rubber products,
especially of tires and mechanical
goods, report marked improvement in
demand. Prices generally are slightly
lower, and in tires the downward
trend is marked.
For the first time since the read
justment period began, all of the sta
tistics indicative of underlying busi-
ness conditions that are regularly re-
ported in these columns reflect an i'm
proved industrial situation in their
most recent changes. Excluding the
number of men out of work by rea-
son of the various strikes now in
progress, unemployment throughout
the country is growing steadily small
er. In the Third Federal Reserve
District the change for the better has
been decided. The Pennsylvania
State Department of Labor reports
that on May Is there were 139,2SO un-
employed in the six cities of Altoona,
Harrisburg, Johnstown, Philadelphia,
Scranton and Williamsport. This is a
decrease of 10.1 per cent as compared
with the estimate for April 80, of
1872 per cent as compared with that
of April Is, and of 42.S per cent from
the figure for January 1, 1922. Those
out of work in Philadelphia numbered
$4,000 on May Is, 95,7OO on April 80,
10000 on April Is, and 15O,4OO on
January 1. This increase in employ
ment is the direct result of the rec
