Ayres Sees War Threats
As Leading Deterrents
gy the Associat.d Press

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, July 15.-Col Leon
ard p Ayres said yesterday in his
monthly business survey war
threats are still the greatest business
deterrents."
Activity turned sharply upward
from May to June" he wrote in the
business bulletin of the Cleveland
Trust Co., of which he is a vice pres
ident, and Improvement seems to be
continuing"
There appear to have been three
principal causes which account for
the decline from December to May.
One was the continued tension
abroad, with its recurrent threats of
war. A second was the shutting
down of the coal mines in April and
May
THE third restrictive factor was
less obvious than either of these
two. but probably more important.
1t was sharp decrease of the inflow
of funds contributed by new cor
porate financing. In the last four
quarters those funds declined from
$50 millions, to 191 millions, to SO
millions and then increased a little
to Isl millions. Such changes have
delayed effects on business, but are
important ones"

Big Oriental Yield

Tobacco Outlook
Estimate for 1889 Jumps
As U. S. Looks Forward
To Bumper Crop
By the Associated Press.

bS tuc ASSOCldleQ fIeSS
The Agriculture Department re-
ported yesterday the 1899 flue- cured
tobacco crop in China. Manchuria
and the Japanese Empire was ex-
pected to total about 268,000 900
pounds. compared with last years
low crop of 176,00O,000 pounds.
The average crop in these areas
for the five years ended with 1887
was 230 100000 pounds.
Prospects for this bumper crop in
the Orient come at time when the
United States has prospects of the
largest tobacco crop on record
Larger crops have been indicated in
parts of South America and Europe
Consequently, foreign trade off,
cials anticipate that American to-
bacco will encounter sharper COM
petition in world markets during the
coming marketing season.
The 1899 crop in China was fore
cast at LAO, 100000 pounds, compared
with 80 100000 last year, and with
an average crop of 168, ,00GOO0. The
department reported substantial
quantities of 1888 and a part of the
1887 Chinese crops still remained in
the hands of producers because war
conditions had interfered with move
ment to manufacturing centers.
The Manchurian crop was esti-
mated at 25,000000 pounds. COM
pared with the previous record crop
of 100000 pounds and with the
preceding five-year average crop of
about 100000 pounds. The Man
churian government has been &C
tive in promoting an expansion in
the flue-cured acreage.
A record production was also an
ticipated this season in the jap
anese Empire-Japan proper, Chosen
and Taiwan-Where the crop was
forecast at 103,O0O,OOO pounds, com"
pared with 10000 pounds in 1888
and with the 1933-37 average of
58,000,OO0.
Until few years ago, the Orient
was large importer of American
f1ue-cured tobacco. Such imports
have been declining steadily in the
past four or five years and are now
at only a fraction of their for
mer level.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Common-
wealth & Southern Corp. will begin
planning integration of its far flung
properties as soon as its $78,6OO 600
deal with Tennessee Valley Author
ity is closed.
Wendell L. Willkie, president, said
today he hoped the Tennessee elec-
trio properties of C. & SIS subsid-
iary, Tennessee Electric Power Co.,
would be turned over to T. V. A.
between August 10 and September l.
Conferees involved are scheduled to
meet next Tuesday at Nashville.
1t was believed possible that prior
to the turnover, T. V. A. and G. e. S.
negotiators would be able to work
out a contract for the purchase by
T. V. A. of Northern Mississippi and
Alabama C. & S. subsidiary proper
ties. The estimated amount in
volved would be in the neighborhood
of ST 900, and approximately that
amount was authorized for the pur-
pose by Congress.
The authorizing bill, which passed
Congress yesterday, still required the
approval of President Roosevelt to-
day.
Big Changes FOreseen.
Completion of the transfer of
properties by September l would
leave C.. e. S., Willkie said. in a
liquid condition with plenty of cash,
and subsidiary bonds selling above
par, all desirable as start for the
widespread integration planning
scheduled to begin about October /.
Completion of the deals with T.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Revenues
for the transit industry, for the week
ended July 8, 1889, based on tele-
graphic reports received from a rep
resentative group of transit operat-
ing companies, showed slight in
crease from last year.
Transit Journals revenue indica-
tor stands at 1O2.11, which represents
a gain of 211 per cent from the cor
responding week in 1888.
For the week ended July /, 1889,
the indicator was 106.01.
The independence Day holiday in
the middle of the week caused the
indicator figure to drop lower than
for the preceding week. However,

Large Increase
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Shoe pro-
production in the first five months
OF 1889 was approximately II per
cent above that in the corresponding
1888 period. according to Poor's stock
reports. Further gains are probable
during the remainder of the year.
Shoe prices have been steady and
there is reason to believe that opera
tlons of shoe companies so far this
year have been substantially more
profitable than a year ago.
After the usual seasonal lull, shoe
production is expected to show a
substantial pickup" states the re-
port. Manufacturers have fair
sized orders for fall styles on hand
having accumulated part of this
backlog at the Boston Shoe Fair in
June. Orders received at that show
were far beyond even the most op-
tlmlstlc expectations.
'The recent large volume of shoe
orders has stimulated the demand
for feathers, especially upper leath-
er. This will benefit tanners, par
tlcularly those who specialize in the
manufacture of suede and patent
feathers. Tanners of upper leather
have sufficient orders on hand now
to keep them operating virtually at
capacity for some time to come.
Prices are lower than they were
earlier in the year; nevertheless.
they are moderately higher than a
year ago and the undertone of the
market is firm.
while leather prices have re-
mained comparatively steady, hide
prices have advanced. The hide
market is in strong statistical po-
sition, the 1880 hides on hand
as of April 80. 1899, being the small
est on record for that date. 1t
amounts to only 6.2 months re-
quirements, or considerably below
normal. Although the cattle slaugh-
ter is expected to increase during
the coming months. it is not likely
to weaken the statistical position of
hides to any great extent"
