BOSTON. May 22-There Is a feel
ing In banking circles here that New
England is on the eve OF A consd-
cradle boom in business. The long
dawn-out textile strikes are expect
ed to be settled shortly The strik-
ers, 1t is understood, are prepared
to make considerable concessions,
and, encouraged by the further i'm
provement In the market for cotton
goods, manufacturers are expected
to meet them half way.
The shoe and leather trades are
showing a small, but welcome. i'm
provement Most of the shoe facto-
ries here are well occupied. although
not rushed by press of business. The
wool market continues to record al
vances in prices, and these are eH-
pected to continue as long as the
emergency tariff is in effect.
The metal trades also continue TO
show Improvement, and paper pro-
duction is now on a better basis than
for some time. 1t has been many
wears since so many large buildings
were under construction at the same
time in Boston The fly in the ONT
ment at present is the fear that man :
ufacturing activity may be curtaiied
II the coal strike is not settled snort
ly. At present there is proba biy coai
enough in New England to last SIX
weeks or two months at the present
rate of consumption.

ing activity and the disappearance OF
the army of unemployed were fea-
lures of the business situation here
in the last week. The only cloud on
the horizon at present seems to be
the uncertainty of the situation OF
the farmers in some districts.
The unemployment problem disap-
peared just about the time the ma
chinery devised to solve that prob
lem began to function. There are
indications now of an actual shortage
in the supply of farm workers AL
ready wages have been increased on
the farms in some sections over the
rates set at the beginning of spring
In the building trades there is
shortage of trained men and wage
rates are a secondary consideration
on the part of employers.
Growers are slow to make contracts
for the sale of their fruit this year.
They feel they are in a strong posi-
ton, as associations of growers con-
troll the marketing of most lines.
Purchasers are inclined to regard the
prices now asked as excessive.
