The business barometer is set for fair
weather for the next two years or
more, as H r. Mallinson. president of
II. r. Mallinson & Co., reads the
weather signs, not only In silks and
other textiles, but also in steel. build
ing materials and general merchandise.
He predicted yesterday that raw ma
terials' prices in many lines would go
higher than present levels during the
remainder of 1922. There are indica-
tions. he stated, that an increasing de-
mand Is finding a shortage of supplies.
THE silk industry is headed upward"
he said. 'and while business In recent
months has been dull at times, figures
record in a rather surprising manner
that the United States is large con-
sumner all of the time. While this coun-
try's looms We're about so per cent idle
in the last year, statistics OF imports
show that S5 per cent. of all the raw
silk sent out of China and Japan came
here. Bsnkers tell me that the build
ing trade. were never so active as now.
The activity of the steel industry. which
always supplies a basic measurement Of
business. tells its own story of an inn
proving demand for goods"
AIr. Mallinson said that his COM
pany's sales in May were 30 per cent
in excess of May, 1921, and June was
running 10 per cent. ahead of the same
menth last year, while salesmen on the
road taking orders for silks for spring
delivery. were reporting buying 100 to
200 per cent. greater than at the same
season of last year.

WHEAT MARKED UP
ON EXPORT SALES
Chicago Market Strong After
Wave Of Midday Selling
Corn and Oats Gain.

CHICAGO. June 16.--Big export sales
led to material upturns to-day in the
value of wheat. The market closed Arm
at u to u cents net higher. with July
Iii to 1.11B and September Ill to
1.11M. Corn finished 1sQA off to Y

and provisions varying from unchanged
figures to a rise of 27 cents.
1t was estimated that seabeard ex-
porters had purchased total of 2,000.-
600 bushels OF wheat here to-day and
yesterday. According TO one authority,
this buying cleaned up the bulk of the
wheat taken on May delivery by Chi
cago trader. Other bullish influences
were the facts that no forced selling
followed yesterdays decline and that
domestic crop reports from the south
west continued to tell OF damage from
hot weather and from premature ripen-
ing. Besides, advices from India said
rains had been disappointing, confined
mainly to the west coast.
During a transient lull In demand for
wheat about midday the market suffered
a sharp setback. July delivery touching
a new low level for the week.. Later
however strong houses here and In the
East became active again on the buying
side of the market, causing prices to
finish at nearly the top point of the ses-
sion. Millers were said to have bought
to fair extent. On the other hand.

Kansas City on the same day expects

Corn and oats were ruled chiefly by
the changes In the price of wheat. Crop
reports about oats were less favorable
than of late.
Despite increa sed warehouse stocks the

what to higher quotations on hogs.
