Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 20--This city Is
full of buyers making their commit
ments for fall goods AS a result OF
their activity, the mercantile situa-
tion here is brighter than at any time
in nearly two years. This trend has
been furthered by good weather and
fine crop reports throughout the
country. Wholesale trade in the tex
tile line has been exceptionally good,
but is quieting down somewhat IN
response to the increased prices OF
raw staples, cotton and wool. Ihe
tendency, however. of dealers at sec
ond hand to ,take profit on goods
bought at advantageous prices has
been less in evidence in the last few
days. There Is a shortage of unskilled
labor reported in certain sections or
this district. and fancy prices are
being paid in some cities for h1ghly
skilled mechanics and artisans.
Canada is competing with New
York for skilled masons and brick
layers All building materials are
active with tendency toward in
creased prices plainly marked.
The automobile trade is extremely
active and the overloaded condition OF
the market on used cars has practl-
cally disappeared. Considerable con-
Germ is being expressed over the coal
supply. which is dwindling fast in
this section.
Production has not kept up to con-
sumption throughout the last tfree
weeks. Decidedly better feeling pre-
walls in the tobacco and cigar mar
kets, although collections are slow.
The less expensive musical instru-
ments are in good demand. but piano
manufacturers have experienced no
increase in the amount of business
on their books. A record fruit crop
is expected in western New York.

PITTSBURGH, June 20.-Railroads
are preparing for large increase In
tonnage next fall Cars are being re-
paired and equipment is being put in
shape for much heavier haulage than
is offered at present. Transportation
companies are reaping the benefits of
longer hauls of coal. This has been
necessary to supply iron and steel mills
during the miners strike.
Building operations have reached a
volume where labor shortage is appar-
ent Plastering contractors in this dis
trict are paying 80 cents an hour to
hold hod carriers and common laborers.
The peak of the boom has not been
reached here. Demands for building
permits indicate a large expansion dur
ing the summer months. Steel makers
have refrained from making prices for
deliveries over the third quarter. Some
lines are quoted only up to July. This
is partly due to the miners strike and
uncerta mites as to production costs.
Wholesale and retail trade continues
to expand. Collections are better and
demand for lumber has spread to all
lines.

Influences of Saturday's~rise in raw

even here interest was by no means

extent. Indeed, the usual caution,
pending developments, is for the
most part to be noted in the present
condition of the market. Some mills
have withdrawn from the market,
while others evidently are not eager
to sell ahead. Contradictions abound.
