C, MONDAY, JUNE 20, 1921 NEARLY ALL WOOLEN MILLS IN NEW ENGLAND ON FULL TIME |- BY EDSON SMITH. Speclal Dixpatch to The Stir. BOSTON, June 20.4-A more hope- ful feeling characterized the wool market today. The new tarift pro- visions have not caused any advance in quotations for most grades, but there is greater confidence in the stability of present prices. Prac- tically all the woolen r:ills of New England are operating near ca- pacity. There Is business to be had if the New England manufacturers take proper measures to secure it. There are cases of two factories making the same line in the same city, where one is working night shifts und the other is practically shut down. Marginal Profit Small. The margin of profit in general is small, however. Retail sales continue to hold up. The actual volume of goods moving is larger than in 1920, although prices of many articles have been reduced materially. The recent drop in the price of cot- ton caused further unsettlement ef cotton goods and prices again are being shaded. The buying of auto- mobiles has flattened and there is @ plethora of used cars on the market. Harvest Fields Call for Unemployed in Southwest BY JAMES R. RECORD Spectal Dispaeh to The Star. FORT WORTH, Tex., June 20.—The employment problem among unskilled men in the southwest has been solved, at least temporarily. The harvest flelds are absorbing all idle workers at from $3 to $5 a day with board, and calls for men have been sent through- out Texas, New Mexico and Okla: homa. With the start of the harvest, new wheat is beginning to find its way to market at fairly good pric The first marketed in the Panhandle graded fifty-eight_pounds to the bushel and sold for $2. The average yield of Texas wheat now promises to reach fifteen bushels to the acre. Good prices for east Texas fruit and vegetables continue, the demand ab- sorbing all that the farmers can pack and deliver at railroad points. It is Indicated the Texas watermelon crop will be the largest in history. Lower prices for steers and cows In the last week have depressed stock- men, as has failure of Congress to put a tariff on hides. Hogs, lambs and sheep showed little change in prices. 26 Per Cent Increase Seen in .Frisco’s June Retail Trade BY LYNN C. SIMPSON. Special Dispateh to The Star. SAN FRANCISCO. June 20.—The re- tail trade of San Francisco for June has shown an increase of a similar period for May of 26 per cent, accord- ing to the twelfth federal reserve bank. Bankers, however, do not look for much change in the situation In this section until autumn. They de- clare that when the crop money be- gina to move and farmers resume buying, there will be improvement of a permanent character. The situation in the fruit canning industry is not satisfactory to pack- ers or growers. With the apricot season just opening, few canners are packing the fruit, as they have large stocks left over. Practically no peaches have been bought as yet, and the pack of cherries was very light. Four hundred and eighty-five cars of fresh cherries have been shipped to eastern markets. The wool situation has improved and growers are in better shape as they have been able to secure ad- vances on their elips. Sales in the retail trade throughout this section, while large, are more or less in the nature of liquidation and profits are small. Notes. NEW YORK, June 20.—Conferences tetween officials of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company and the New York Railways Company and repre- sentatives of their emplioyes on pro- posed wage reductions gave indica- ons today that the wage cut would be arranged without friction or tie-up ll)‘n the various New York traction nes.

NEW YORK, June 20.—Remarkable results have been attained in indl- vidual businesses recently through intensive selling campaigns, even in lines where general conditions have been below normal.
