NEW YORK.

New York, Feb. THE barome-
ter of basic business conditions in
this section is slowly rising, ac-
cording to bank figures and eco
nomic indications but business has
been spotted and uneven this week.
Retail trade seems in the midst of
a between-seasons period of leth-
argy, but dealers express firm con-
fidence of good spring trade. Buy
ing of woolens for next fall is pro-
ceeding at a satisfactory pace in
some constructions but the cotton
goods trade is awaiting settlement
of wage conditions in New England
before committing itself for much
more than immediate present re-
Quirements. Buying OF silk goods
is showing signs of resumption and
some additional workers have been
employed in the mills hereabouts.
Demand for steel products is i'm
proving, although prices have
shown no advances. The railroad
buying is continuing in unGimin-
ished volume and additional inquiry
is being received for structural
steel. Brick is in strong demand
and has advanced above SIT thou
sand. A vast building movement
is getting under way in Brooklyn
and the Bronx and the prices of
lath and the lower grades of lum-
Der have advanced sharply at
wholesale.
The hide and leather markets are
dull with buyers waiting on a wild
er distribution of footwear. Max
ers of low grade shoes continue to
operate at a good rate~-of pro-
ductiou.

State Senator Dunlap's proposal,
which was Offered with the idea
that if Cook county delegates agree
to it, downstate delegates will con
slider further compromise OF their
present plan to limit Cook county,
was as follows:
Back to People.
/ Amendments to the constitution

the general assembly and il the
same shall be voted for by a ma
jority of all the members elected To
each of the two houses, such pro
posed amendments together with

thereon shall be entered in full on
the respective Journals and said
amendments shall be submitted To

upon the proposition in each OF n
majority of the counties OF the sLauss
and a majority of all votes cast
upon the proposition shall favor
the adoption of such amendment
they shall become part of the con-
stitutiOn."
There was some question in the
minds of the dOwnstate delegates
whether this substitute proposal
would be acceptable to Cook county
delegates. whose representation in
the convention hall this morning
was very scant

Should this effort to solve the per

ST. PAUL.

St Paul, Feb. IA good crop
acreage is declared to be assured
by reports from the rural districts
of the northwest. Noticeable con-
fidence in the outcome of the year
OF 1922 is evident among the farm
ers who have come to attend the
automobile, tractor and farm pow
er exhibit in the twin-cities. The
agriculturists OF this section are
gaining both in producing and buy
ing power.
Unemployment decreased one per
cent in this district in the last
month. The reserves of state banks
and trust companies have increas-
ed $4,000, 900 and their loans have
decreased $S,273,O00 since the Octo-
Der bank call. Building operations

PITTSBURGH.

Pittsburgh, Feb, There is a
sound foundation beneath the in
dustrial structure in this section.
Production in various industries is
working higher and evidence of
stability in various markets is en-
coura ging purchasers. An inclina-
tion on the part of landlords to in
crease rents is having a tendency
to hold up living costs but these
high rentals are expected to result
in an increased building program
this spring. Even at the present
time, there is a shortage OF lathers
and plasterers here while men are
well employed in all the other
building trades.
Steel production is now close to
the record established in December
before the usual year end slump oc-
Cured and it is expected that it
will show further increase shortly.
There has been no change in the
openly quoted prices on the leading
steel products for about six weeks
and this evidence OF stability is ac-
cepted as a favorable sign, although
it is claimed that some shading of
prices is being done to secure de-
sirable orders.
Automobiles are not selling so
readily as a year ago but the mar
ket can be considered fair as
changes in some of the important
agencies may have had some tenn
porary effect on sales.
