/ 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

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.

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.
