S** * f HP^W / BUSINESS NEARER NORMAL. Vbere Are May Signs that Point in that Direction?Slow Process, However. f . A? one scans the financial and business pages of the metropolitan papers these days he must be impressed by the note of optimism Bounded in the articles of the special writers and - ? correspondents generally with respect ^ to .present and prospective business conditions. The general view seems to be that, while conditions are only slowly re-adjusting themselves and there is no very decided improvements anywhere, the general movement is toward normal. There appears tn be from weak to week cumulative evidences that the worst is pest and better tims are ahead, and not far away. As an instance, a special correspondent of The New York Evening Post, writing from Philadelphia, declares a remarkable turn on the constructive side of general business has been made in that section. "It showed itself in the breaking away from the policy of buying for immediate requirements to one of anticipating wants in the Fall," says this writer. "This is the first occasion of such a trend in nearly a year.' The Post's correspondent admits that the demands should have set in sixty da>B ago, but the fact that it is actually felt now is an omen of better conditions. This change of policy (does not apply td industrial lines, but almost wholly to those producing consumers' goods, says this writer. The altered situation looking to the future has not assumed a .scope that is calculated to put production on even a near approach to normal bas is. Nevertheless, it has broadened to ra point where it has induced mills to operate at closer to full capacity than at any period in six months. There are two reasons for this change in tendency; first, that trouble was encountered in getting deliveries for Spring; second, that stocks of goods among distributive houses are small. The striking phase i3 that the Fall inquiry comes from l no one section, but covers widely separated territory. Marked imI provement in collections has grown out of this transition. This, in turn, ) has brought about liquidation of bank loans. ) Indications of a gradual improvement in business in New England is ^ reported by a Providence, R. I., correspondent of The Evening Post. Re^ viewing the general situation, he writes, that curtailment of production ^ in cotton goods mills is said to be still of substantial character, especinlk ly in "the cotton duck, cotton yarn, and in some of the fine combed yarns a mills of New England. Mills engaged ^ in other lines of cotton manufacture a are now fairly well employed. Flnishe ing plants are declared better off w than they were a month ago. Manue facturers are inclined to believe that ?the worst of the liquidation within the trade is over, but they are apprehensive of delay in getting back to a w full basis of production until more ^ has been accomplished in the matter ^ Of liniliHnTlnp nnat c frt oonneol KnaS. neBs lines. ? 9 ' 5 pai t Reduc 6 & & On Tuesday, for Paisre- Mi Glenbrook F - # Ardmore F?

Earle Betl THE D1LLOM HE While the slowing down process in industry is still going on, the reduction is now so slight as to be almost negligible and there are many indications of a turn for the better. During the month of May, figures gathered by tho employment service of the Department of Labor show the decrease of employment was leas than one per cent taking the country as a whole. Many industries and some States showed gains in industrial activity and consequently in the employment of labor. The South generally shows a tendency towards improvement, and unemployment in the Southern section is by no means general. North Carolina textile mills show a very slight decrease in number of operatives at work during the month. Orders are coming in but conditions are not yet satisfactory. The lumber plants also report a decrease In market conditions. Gastonla reports satisfactory conditions with no unemployment. On the other hand, Wilmington has many idle workers, shipbuilding and repair plants being partly or wholly closed and railroad shops working with reduced forces. South Carolina'8 textile mills report a gain of over 1 per cent in employment during the month but hold out no promise as to the future. The lumber and lumber products plants also report improvement in employment but express doubt as to the coming months because of the poor market conditions. The fertilizer plants report discouraging conditions. with uncertainty as to the fall! business. Charleston reports consider-1 able unemployment, Spartanburg! none. While there is still much idleness in - Richmond, conditions are much better than they were a month ago. No large plants are closed, though some are running on part time only. A bright spot is a decidedly more favorable outlook in the building trades in Richmond. Norfolk is still the weak spot in Virginia with a large amount of idleness. Work at the shipyards, however, is reported on the increase. Other lines also show improvement and the opinion is that the present improvement will be maintained. On the whole, unemployment in the South at the present time is not large, and the tendency is towards improvement.?Charlotte Observer. o Subscribe to The Herald. $2.50 pr. yr. FINAL.
