CHICAGO, March S.-Business is so
. distinctly better in nearly every line
in the middle west that it is difficult
to explain the sudden falling off in
the coal trade. Industries have
ceased stocking up in preparation for
. q possible strike, manufacturers be-
ing apparently confident that if a
strike comes 1t will be of short
duration. Few plants have more
than sixty to ninety days supply on
hand, and consumers believe the price
will be lower.
This is merchants buying week
here and retailers from many states
are in the market for dry goods anu
accessories. The majority are buy
ing for immediate delivery. Dry
goods jobbers are receiving encour-
aging reports from their men on the
road. They attribute better demand
to the Improvement in the price OF
grain and hogs.
The steel industry in this section
Is increasing output. and demand Ior
steel products continues heavy. Ihe
United States Steel Corporation mas
blown in two more blast furnaces az

ents now are operating at go per cedt
of capacity. Railroads are buying

Jobbers in All Lines Feel
Stimulus of Spring Trade
by Il. v. SHANNON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW ORLEANS. March Sob
bers in every line are feeling the
stimulus of spring business in this
section. For the first time in over
year, they are reporting Il profit
on sales for the month. Business
IN the last thirty days increased
from to 25 per cent over the pre-
vious month, the greatest gains
being in dry goods and notions and
the smallest in drugs and food prod
ucts. Wholesalers in the country
districts are claiming gains in busi-
ness of from 10 to 20 per cent. Re
taiiers continue to buy conserva-
lively. but their stocks are low and
distributors anticipate q steady, con-
tinued demand from them. Whole
sale stocks also are low and in need
of constant replen;shment
Real estate is more active and
sales are growing from week to
week. Building permits issued for
small residences continue to show
steady gains. Reduction of freight
rates on oil and erection of addi-
tional refineries which have been
planned will add to the Importance
of this port as a factor in export
trade, making it one of the most
important In this country.
The cold weather in the last week
has injured the spring crop of vege-
tables in this section and shipments
will be three weeks later than was
anticipated. The loss to growers
was about half million dollars.

Market Ignores Break.
The security market moved in the
midst of conflicting influences. but ii
chose, as it has right along, to disre-
gard what was unfavorable and
fasten its attention upon what was
favorable. In consequence it ignored
further severe break in the foreign
exchanges and the fear which this
in part reflected that the accomplish
ments of the last few months at
Washington might be undone by
the Senate action on the treaties. 1t
showed similar callousness to the
1921 Industrial reports, with their
heavy inventory write-offs and their
cxhausting drafts upon profit and
loss surpluses-as in the case of
American Sugar Refining and Fisk
Rubber, which submitted their figures
today.
