REVIVAL IN STEEL INDUSTRY FACTOR 'IN CLEVELAND TRADE Feeling That Readjustment Period Is Nearing End—Conditions Elsewhere. BY GUY T. ROCKWELL. Special Dispatch to The Star. CLEVELAND, August 4—The better feeling prevailing in the steel trade here is one of the best indications that the readjustment period is com- ing to an end, in the opinion of busi- ness leaders. While the upturn in steel is not speedy, steel bar units of independents will be under power Y | shortly and sheet production is being increased. Coincident with the im- provement in steel, the Lake Superior iron mines increased their shipments last month 400,000 tons. At Akron, Ohio, tire production l‘ now on a basis of 75 per cent of peak capacity. Tire companies are pro- ducing 75,000 tires a day, as compared with 100,000 in the spring ‘of 1920, and doing it with hlll as many em- ployes. Several large manufacturing plants here in various lines report some large orders on the point of being closed and have put their plants in shape in preparation for the psycho- logical moment when buyers will muster up courage to place their or- ders. Flour has fallen $1.20 a barrel here and prices of green produce also have dropped sharply. Big Harvest of Wheat Is Harbinger of Trade BY DICK SMITH. Special Dispatch to The Star. KANSAS CITY, Mo., August 4.— Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Ne- braska have harvested 24,000,000 bushels of wheat. This means that when the crop is marketed the farmers of these states will have over $250,000,000 to liqui- date debts and make needed purchases. On top of this, abundant rain this week put the corn crop out of danger and the amount of money paid through the Kansas City live stock market, where prices have been high and shipments | spread of advertising. improve each month.

The greater part of Lhil buying is for export. Rubber. CHICAGO, August 4.—The mechani- cal rubber goods industry is running at about 33 per cent of the uction attained in the first half year of 1920 and at about 50 per cent of the rate for the four years previous. Makers of rubber footwear have curtailed production because of large stocks in the hands of jobbers. Prices are re- garded as stabilized for the remainder of the year. Cottons. NEW YORK, August 4—It is mot expected that there will be any ma- terial revision in prices in standard bleached cottons for some time to come, now that one Of the best known brands has been priced for August and September. Production o:d other manufacturers is well under order. " Collars, ‘TROY, N. Y., A t 4.—Retailers today assert that the reduction of collar manufacturers from $2.10 to glass have been reduced in the las several weeks.

Shirts. NEW. YORK, August 4 —Demand for pend upon the wage conference, prob- ably in Cleveland, about the middle of ‘this month. Prices remain sta- tionary. Fruit. SAN FRANCISCO, August 4.—Call- fornia yineyardists are exercised over the lack of demand for grape juice and it is possible that some wineries may crush no grapes this season. This would leave a large amount of sur- plus grapes for shipment. Gratn, GALVESTON, August 4—The rates on heavy grains from gulf ports at Rotterdam, Antwerp and Havre have been fixed at 271 cents for the sec- ond half of August. The rate is the same fixed for the first two weeks of this month.

Elevator owners declared no concession had been made the strikers. Lumber. COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho., August 4. —The Diamond Match Company has completed {ts nine-mile aerial tram- way, which will carry lumber from Diamond City, Wash., to the railroad.

NEW ORLEANS, August 4.—Lum- heavy, has been added to the golden|ber production in this region is on stream. All in all, this section is better off than at any time since the big slump in the spring of 1920. General improvement is reflected in increased building operations. In July 171 building permits were issued here, as against 49 for the same period last year. A similar increase is shown in Kansas City, Kan. Local dealers to- day announced another cut in some lum- ber prices, which will make the lumber cost of the ordinary house 5 per cent less. Lower prices at the mills gave op- portunity for the reductions. An upward movement in lead ore prices was a feature of the metal market for the week. Zinc ore held its own. The demand for flour continues better than at any time fof a year, with all mills running full time and Sundays. Far Northwest Prospects Brighten on Crop Returns BY PAUL C. HEDRICK. Special Dispatch to The Star. SEATTLE, Wash., August 4.—The prospect of the greatest crops of grin and fruits in the history of this section confronts the northwest. Bankexs assert that when cash re- turns eome in from these sources all change estimates that Washington, Oregon and Idaho will sell 35,000 cars of winter-keeping apples, with 756 boxes to the car, at an average price to the grower above $2.25 a box, net- ting this section in the neighborhood of $63,000.000. Washington alone will sell 27,000 cars, with the fruit better in size and quality:than ever before. Estimates of the Washington grain crop have been increased from 48,- 000,000 to 60,000,000 bushels since the reapers started in the Walla Walla and Pelouse fields, the grain being much heavier to the bushel than average. Farmers lately have sold spot wheat at $1 a bushel. In spite of these facts the tide of retail trade and manufacturing has not as yet advanced materially in the district. Commodity prices, as a rule appear to have touched bottom, but merchants declare the public avoids buying in quantities unless urred by price-cutting sales and tells— Boscul. bitterness. l Here’s where the difference The cup test is your own yardstick of | the superior flavor of .Boscul Coffee.

The shortage in the state will reach 2,000,000 bushels. NEW YORK ,August 4.—Shortage of current crop shipments to this country has strengthened the market for tea here. Reports from Japan indicate the first crop is about 5,000, 000 pounds short and that the second crop is so poor that it is conceded to be a failure. Riee. NEW YORK, August 4—Shortage though demand for the new rice crop Much of the rare charm Boscul has for the critical coffee drinker is in the even, umform, nicely studied blending. Boscul is the outcome of more than 63 years of experience with roasting quality coffees.
