Production Increasing in
Many Lines in CHICAGO Area
BY A. ID. WELTON

Special Dispatch to The Star
CHICAGO. February 1.-The farm
er of the middle west is in a better
state of mind. His buying power is
stll at low ebb and there probably
VIII be little real change in this re-
speCt until the new corps are in. but
his outlook toward the future has
improved. A careful survey of busi-
ness conditions throughout this en-
tire district shows fundamental
soundness and improvement Produc-
ton is increasing in many lines, al
though the total employment figures
show little change. Living costs are
falling slowly and people are more
inclined to buy. Money is easy. but
there were too many factors which
contributed to the depression of busi-
ness for low money rates alone to
restore ii to normal
The labor controversy in Chicago is
in critical stage. The building trades
! wage awards of Judge X NJ Lands,
arbitrator. are under further review
Building operations are at standstil,
although it is intimated satisfactory
adjustment is in sight. Nothing could
| do so much to improve conditions
here as to put the 10000 men now
! idle. to work
For the moment. drygoods jobbers
are pessmistic. Bargain hunters are
! plentiful and retailers are looking
forward to an increased trade, but
just at present there is more planning
! than buying for the future.

FREIGHT PICKING UP.

NEW YORK, February 1.-Signs are
not lacking that the cargo vessels
have wallowed through the trough
of the wave and now feel the swell
that is leading to the top. The Ship
ping Board reports a better demand
and more inquiries. Shipping circles
are getting a larger number of re-
ports that new construction is to be
undertaken. Conference agreements
have been solidified and rates
strengthened There is an increase in
the volume of tonnage, though conn.,
parisons with last year, based upon
valuation, are still unfavorable. due
largely to the deflation in prices.

SOME TEXTILE INDUSTRIES
ARE REPORTED FLOURISHING
Activity in House Furnishings in Phil
adelphia Area Regarded Most Favor :
able Trade Index-Elsewhere.
BY FRANK ID. McLAIN.

PHILADELPHIA. February 1 (Spe-
ciaD.-The woolen branches of the tex
tile industries in this section are -four
ishing. Knitting yarns are in active
demand. with fairly large sales being
recorded. Carpet and rug manufac-
turers are extremely busy. Wiltons and
Administers have been sold far ahead
and advances in the price of raw wool
have caused markets to decline further
orders at present in those lines. Vel
vets and tapestries also have been in
excellent demand. This activity in
housefurnishings is believed to reflect
a decided improvement in economic con-
ditions.
The cotton goods market. which was
active toward the close of 1921. has be-
come quiet. This is due largely to the
unsettled condition of the raw cotton
market and prospects of a reduction in
manufacturing costs, with attendant
lower prices.
Savings accounts in this district
showed an increase today of $9.4S9, 900
in twenty-fOur banks over the amount
on deposit at the end of December. This
is the first increase in savings recorded
here since last March, when with
drawals began to exceed deposits. but
savings always show some increase in
January because interest is credited to
each account in that month.

Fears Over Sales of Cotton
RetardS New Orleans Trade
BY /. v. SHANNON

Special Dispatci to The Star
NEW ORLEANS. February 1.-The
fear that the south will have to sell
at sacrifice about six million bales
of cotton of "A carried-over crop is
depressing commercial life in this sec
ton. Spinners already have bought
an amount of cotton practically equal
to last years production, but the
vast quantity held over from the pre-
vious year is still on hand. and the
only outlet for it is Europe. Unless
! the purchasing power abroad is in
creased greatly in the near future
it is felt that this cotton will have
to be sold at a big loss.
The decline of cotton since the first
of the year from IS to 5 cents has
so upset business that no one is dis
posed to buy far ahead until improve
ment is again in sight. and cOllec-
, tionS are correspondngly slow.
Both producers and handlers of cot
ton feel that the recent decline is the
result of the failure of world condi-
tions to improve as rapidly as ex-
pected.
Business men in this section have
been expecting the Washington ad-
ministration to accomplish in some
manner speedy improvement in eco
nomic conditions abroad. and disap-
pointment in the results is keenly
felt and very widespread
