BOSTON, July 11.—Conviction is growing throughout New England that the long decline in commodity prices s about over. As yet, how- ever, jobbers and retailers are show- ing no disposition to buy except on a basis of immediate requirements. Re- tail trade is holding up well, and in- ventories are being liquidated. At the present rate of consumption the time must come when an increase in production will be imperative. The wool market is very quiet, as 18 usual in July. Mills are completing their orders for heavy-weight goods, and the spring season will not open until late this month. There is 8o much wool in the country now that the tariff question s not regarded here as important. There s an undoubted improvement in shoes and leather. Factories mak- ing men's shoes are active. The Douglas -plant in Brocktoh has an- nounced intention of running close to capacity of 10.000 pairs a day for the remainder of the year. The metal and allied trades are stagnant. Meat prices show a slight Increase. Hopeful for a Revival of Trade in Frisco Area BY LYNN C. SIMPSON. Special Dispateh to The Star. SAN FRANCISCO, July 11.—In the tace of a somewhat reduced volume of trade and hesitancy on the part of retailers to increase stocks. business men of this section are more hopeful for @ revival of activity, which they admit has been delayed longer than they expected. Mopvement of fruit to eastern markets has been heavy, and this i8 releasing funds for the growers. although prices have been far lower than those of last year. This favorable feature has been offset somewhat by failure of canneries to buy freely. ‘The deadlock in the building trades has been continued by the failure of the building trades unions to accept the open shop compromise and butld- ing practically is at a standstill. Bel- gium and Cuba have been heavy buy- ers of beans. More than 100.000 bags have been shipped to tidewater with- in the last few weeks to flil these orders. The wool situation is bright- er, with improved priges for the best grades. Employment Situation in Southwest Reported Better BY JAMES R. RECORD. Special Dispatch to The Star. FORT WORTH., Tex., Railroads in the southwest are be- ginning to move new grain to the eastern seaboard. ~More equiptment has been called into service and idle shopmen at Important points are be- ing put to work repairing cars. The Fort Worth and Denver road now is working 85 per cent. of its normal shop force over its system; the Rock Island has a full crew at work here and elsewhere. and the Texas and Pacific is working 65 per cent. of its regular shop forces. The employment situation has im- proved over the southwest. South Texas needs farm workers as cotton in the gulf coast and in Rio Grande valley is ready for the pickers. North Texas unemployed have drifted to the Kansas and Oklahoma harvest flelds. Rains have broken the heat wave and are belleved to have assured Tex- as of a _corn crop _exceeding 164,000,000 bushels, an increase in acreage and production of 14 per cent. Live-stock prices have continued to decline except those for hogs which have taken a sudden spurt in all live- stock centers. Commodity Reports From Various Sections Fruit. SAN FRANCISCO, July 11.—Farm- ers have refused offers of $90 a ton for wine grapes, which was offered in advance of harvest. The acreage in grapes was large this year, but the crop will be small. HAVANA, July 11.—The Cuban July 11— pineapple crop this season is expected to reach 900,000 crates, valued at $4,500,000.

PAUL, July 11—Distribution of hardware and butchers’ supplies con- tinues to remain somewhat below the level of last year, but is gradu- ally increasing throughout the north- West.

KANSAS CITY, July 1L—Hardware merchants in_this -section report a falling off of business in all lines ex- cept farm implements, which have responded to the seasonal demand, al- though the volume of business is far below that of last year. Shipping. NEW YORK, July 11—Six new steel steamers were added to the Shipping Board's merchant fleet in June. The completion of the motor ship Willlam Penn, marked the end of the requisition shipbuilding pro- gram of the board. NEW YORK, 11.—Ocean freights from Atlantic ports to the far east on steel and iron have been reduced from $16 to $13 a tonm, an- ticipating an expected cut in trans- continental frelght rates, Wwhich would have favored Pacific coast ports.

NEW YORK, July 11.—Silk manu- tacturers here predict silk goods will be about 15 per cent lower next spring, basing this on the belief that raw silk prices will fall this autumn. They point out that the Japanese silk syndicate now holds thousands of bales in reserve. Silk in storage in this country declined materially in June.
