NEW YORK, March 1.-THE first
touch Of spring has sent the buying
public fiocking to the retail stores.
and the reflection of that activity is
reaching back to the tobber, whole
saler and manufacturer in this dis
trict. Women's wear has been active.
and while merchants may be some-
what uncertain as to the trend of de-
mand and style in some lines. all are
agreed that sport clothes will have
an exceptionally prosperous season.
The silk crepes and sport silks are In
demand and spring footwear is eX-
periencing a satisfactory distribution.
Possibility of bulk production of
dwelling houses has given additional
impetus to building construction.
Building materials are active and
hardware, paints. roofing and window
glass have felt the increased demand.
The copper export demand is grow
ing greater and additional activity in
refineries in this section is expected
to follow the reopening of many OF
the western mines. Foundries are
more active and pig iron is firm.
While there has been falling off In
demand for some of the woolen
fabrics and cloth manufacturers are
slowing up on production. the carpet
and floor covering trades are well oc-
cupied. Spring furs are moving fairly

New Business Picks Up;
Production Is Increasing
BY H. II. LAUFMA
,ial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURGH, March 14.-Expand-
ing pay rolls throughout this district
are adding to the assurance with
which retail dealers are preparing for
the spring season. Prices were cut to
get winter goods off the shelves and
the operation was successful The
carry-over will be extremely small.
Demand for spring goods at present
but it is moving into other lines and
merchants are encouraged.
The most discussed affair in indus
trial circles was the action of a lead
ing steel independent in advancing
prices for plates, shapes and bars to
Sl.5O basis while sales were being
made by other producers at $1.35 and
S1.4O 1t is understood. however. that
the company was assured OF a sixty
day run before the advance was an
nounced. A reduction in untitled ton
mage of the United States Steel Cor
poration was not surprising. While
new business has been picking up.
production has been increasing more
rapidly also. 1t is now generally
known in the trade that on many
days the. business received exceeds
the orders filled.
Coal is being shipped in its natural
form in the Connellsville district in
stead of being converted into coke.
AS a result the coke market has TAX
en- brace. Increased coal shipments
are partly due to anticipation of
n strike.

DRY GOODS INACTIVE,
Tendency to Soften Prices, Shading
in Seasoned Trading.

NEW YORK. March IA tSpeciaD.-
ihe lack of active demand for print
cloths had tendency to soften
prices in the dry goods market to-
day. but what shading of quotations
was done was in transactions from
second hands. Mills in most in
stances were not inclined to accept
offers for future delivery on a lower
basis and the market remained fairly
steady in most lines. There was
again some demand for sheetings
from bag manufacturers and three
yard sheetings were firm. There has
been falling off in demand for
ginghams. Denims for work clothes
are moving in somewhat better
volume.
The raw silk market was firm,
following the trend in orfnental CEN
ters. and the volume of business here
was slightly better. Hosiery manu-
facturers are buying some scattered
lots and thrown silk was firm. Sport
silks and wash silks We're in some
demand among the finished products.

TRADING IN BONDS
DULL AND NARROW

NEW YORK. March 14.-Trading in
bonds was dull and narrow, irregular
changes occurring in domestic and
foreign groups. The latter were favor
ably influenced, however. by the par
tial recovery of foreign exchange.
United Kingdoms of 1922 rose ] IS, +,
and Philippine railway As gained 1
SIS and Mexican As advanced frac-
tionally.
Toxic 5s lost 1 point and Belgian
71as, Dominion of Canada 1926 and

ately.
Most domestic rails were firm to

tions being Seaboard Consolidated IS

were weakest of the industrials, fall
ing points.
Dealings in liberty and victory is
sues were light and featureless.
Some New Highs.
There were a number of new high
records scattered throughout the list
today, while the general market was
steady. Most of the foreign govern
ment external loans, which have taken
ment in the exchanges, did little.
It was noteworthy, however, that
despite the further decline in ster-
ling, the United Kingdom 51a per
cent bonds, particularly the 1922 ma
turity, turned from their downward
course of the last week and moved
upward
Expectation of the early listing of
r. J./Reynolds on the stock exchange
was reflected in a better demand for
that stock, which sold within a frac-
ton OF it's recent high. Swift Inter-
national was easier and Amalgamated

vance, met heavy realizing sales and
dropped below last nights final.
