INDUSTRIES
ARE REvN|NG NOW
Textile, MetaIlurgicaI, and Au-
tomotive Trades Busy-Rains
Improve Crops.

The outstanding feature of de-
velopments in Italian economic life
last month as reported by cable to
the Department of Commerce by
Commerce Attacher Maclean, is the
renewal of Industrial activity and
the improved outlook for Italian in
dustry in general.
The textile, metallurgical and
automotive Industries are all active
the Fiat factory to the extent Of
working night shifts. More funds
are now available for investment
in industrial and commercial enter
prises because the reduction of last
spring in the interest rate on short
time Treasury notes has tended to
turn capital from this form Of in
vestment. New capital invested in
August was almost double the
amount of Withdrawals
The unfavorable features OF the
situation are that the demand for
many commodities Is slack because
Of high prices; that some damrge
has been done to the crops BY
drought; and that the increase in
imports, coupled with a decline in
exports, has increased the unfav or
able balance Of trade.
There is little demand for coal
owing to the high exchange. but
prices are firm. The price of hemp
is sustained. although export de.
niands are wanting. There is little
call for vegetable oil. and the price
Is declining. The exports of lemons
have been small. shippers have sui
fered heavy losses, and the general
outlook is unfavorable. Prices for
cereals remain steady. but the de-
mand is light. The lack Of rain and
the intense heat damaged the corn
crop to some extent, but rains which
have fallen recently have improved
conditions for autumn plowing.
Consul Carrigan at Milan reports
that. with the beginning of fall
activity, conditions are considered
satisfactory and better than last
year. There has been a good move
ment Of the best grade of raw silk;
the price has increased and there Is
a fair demand for the finished
product. There is an indication Of
renewed activity in the metallurgi.
cal industry. The grape harvest
was of good quality. and the general
outlook is favorable.

TRADE STILL QUIET

Industrial Demands Improving
Slightly as Employment
Declines. -

The general tendency of British
trade and industry Is to mark time
says Commercial Attache Tower, in
a cable to the Department OF Com
merce.
some activity has been noted IN
the metal line due largely to the
United states buying OF pig iron
and more demand from other export
markets for British products. In
the steel market structural inquiries
present the most encouraging fea-
lures. The shipyapds are still call
ing for very little material, but,
nevertheless, general demands con-
tinue to improve. Steel buying dur
in gthe months has been on a small.
order basis, ranging from 20 to 100
tons per order
Trade in textiles and woolens has
been spotty, but, Notwithstanding
this fact, they have shown more
consistency than the cotton trade.
There has been considerable stir
over the price reduction of sd per
gallon in petroleum. 1t is expected
mat demand will increase and there
will be a favorable reaction also on
the sale of motor cars and a Corre-
spending reduction in transport
COSTS.
Considerable activity in new build.

lower costs OF construction resulting
from wage reductions and from the
belief generally held that costs OF
materials are now near a stable
basis.
The situation in the Clyde ship.
yards has been quite serious. Many
Of the shipyards have been shut
down. The industries in the Shelf
field district have been somewhat
encouraged by the better demand
for machine tools, and several
works extensions OF interest have
been brought into operation lately.
In the Birmingham district a slight
advance toward more stable condi-
tions was realized and all branches
OF the engineering industry showed
themselves slightly more active.

were entirely satisfactory notwith.

Of the business interests OF the two

The figures are fabulous. Can
the country go on at this rate?
Have the people the money to stand

can. Apparently the people have.
Motor Car Mortgages.
The writer has before him an ex.
pert accountants report on the bust,
ness Of a Chicago company that
handles motor car mortgages. 1t is
| the business Of this company to buy
the notes given by automobile pur-
chasers who buy machines partly for
cash and partly for credit. In one
year the company had $4,000 600
worth Of these notes, representing
the purchase OF 3,432 cars. A poor
risk? That would be the comment
Of the average business man. Yet
the loss on the whole $4,000 900 note es
was less than one-third Of per cent.
A quarter of the notes were paid be-
fore they matured. and only 80 Of
the 3.432 cars had to be foreclosed on.
50, whatever else they fail %
do. the automobile owners do not
fail sooner or later to pay for
their cars. They buy. they pay,
and they keep up the pace.

fact means he can begin to real.

For the matter Of that ulysses bears no
