tie evidence of recessions in this
city. June statistics show that
there is no letup in building oper-
atoms. Regardless of the number
OF new dwellings going up the de-
mand for small homes continues
strong and they command high
prices both for purchase and rent.
Business men here declare this re-
fleets both increasing population
ard wider employment at wages
which warrant the high payments.
Bushes men interested in this
city as a port are endeavoring to
have the trunklines make lower
freight rates from the west to aid
in meeting the competition from
the water routes by the Mississippi
and the Gulf. A new municipal
pier costing $675,000 will be open
ed for business tomorrow.
Business IN eastern Pennsylvania
is regarded as good and Philadel-
phia's wholesale jobbing and re-
tail establishments are reaping the
benefit. In the smaller towns OF
this section are many of the small
er factories turning out shoes and
welts. These are working at "A
speed which compares favorably
with conditions before the war.
Prices are reasonable and orders
are of satisfactory volume.

Reader Takes Newer

Years Younger

six weeks ago l saw a special
offer in the paper telling how thou
sands of people grow old in looks
and energy long before they are
really old in years, because, as ex-
aminations by physicians have
shown. an enormous number of peo-
pie do not have enough iron in
their blood. l have been taking
Nuxated Iron for two weeks: the
results are simply astounding. The
roses have come back in my lips
and cheeks, and l can conscien-
tiously say that l feel ten years
younger"
The above is a typical hypothetical
case showing the results that have
been achieved by a great many
people since we started this salts
faction or money back" offer on
Nuxated Iron. We will make you
the same guarantee. If, after TAX
ing the two weeks treatment of
Nuxated Iron, you do not feel and
look years younger. we will prompt
ly refund your money.

CHICAGO.

Chicago. June zs.-Recent ad-
vances In wholesale prices and the
unsettled state OF the cotton mar
ket have been factors in keeping
heavy buyers from the market here
but while business is dull, the big
wholesale drygoods houses are
planning ahead for their fall open
ings and arranging special offerings
at attractive prices. One manager
declared today that where the
wholesalers have been working to
get volume in business they are
aiming now at volume in dollars.
They do not expect any plunging
by retailers but they want to in
duce them to buy everything well
stocked stores should have. A few
more slight advances in domestics
are Anticipated this week. Current
drygoods distribution Is greater
than a year ago but the road orders
are less. Collections are much bet
ter than last year.
Ehe leading steel interest still is
maintaining production at SIS per
cent at its mills in this section but
the leading independent has drop
shortage of labor in the mills.
Building construction is more ac-
tive now than it was in May which
new record for activity in this di-
rection was made Kentucky coal
is stronger in this market owing
to the development of freight con-
gestion and a. car shortage al
though demand continues rather

NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans, June 29.-The ma
val stores industry, one OF the most
important in the south, is reviving
in the most encouraging way and
gives promise of profits this year
for the first time in many seasons.
The prices for turpentine have
jumped amazingly. In 1921 the
average price was 62 cents a gallon.
Up to May this year the average
, was IS cents a gallon, but now quo
tations have jumped to 1913. Rosin,
which sold last year at $4.12 a cask,
for the average grade, has recently
advanced about a dollar a cask and
| further advances are predicted.
The effect of the advance in the
| INDUSTRY may Dc SSeh WhCA IL II
realized that the average return
per unit of turpentine and rosin to
the producer last year was $40
whereas the average return this
season up to May was $50. Based
on present prices the next crop
should yield the producer some
thing like IS unit. 1t is estimated
the industry gives employment to
about $1,000 men. while the an
nual product under present condi-
tons represents a value of about
$40, 900, 900.
The first Of Louisiana's rice crop
for this year was received in this
market this week and indications
are that 1t will begin to move in a
commercial way by the end of the
next week, although the new crop
will not be big factor in the mar
ket for 80 or 40 days.
