WELTON. Special Dispatch to The Star. CHICAGO, August 10.—A better feeling about business conditions .in this section has become pronounced. Stocks of commodities, except in some particular lines, are low, considering the season. Crops are moving with freedom and money is therefore more plentiful in -the farming districts. Collections are better than fair and old debts are being pared down and orders for all kinds of merchandise are being placed. The retail mer- chant who does a good business, how- ever, will have to go after it vigor- ously. There are spotted improvements in iron and steel products and prices are still undergoing adjustment. Slow resumption of activity is in prospect. | Prices for building materials and house furnishings are relatively high and those commodities are inactive. | Financiers explain this inactivity by declaring that those who are selling their services in the form of produc the prices of which have been tensively liquidated, will not pay prices to those who are receiv, relatively more for their products. Wages in this section have been de- creased an average of 15 per cent.

Jhe chief obstacle to new construction seems to be diffi- culty of financing operations. Crops in this section are in good shape, having been materially helped by recent copious rains. The strike of 8,000 men at the mines of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company has been adjusted, but operators throughout the anthracite flelds are showing a dis- position to cut down production. Resorts along_the south Jersey coast are filled to overflowing and much money is being spent, as rents and other charges are very high. Cotton Advance Boosted Trade Lines Down South BY L V. SHANNON. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW ORLEANS, August 10.—The stability of the cotton market since its recent advance of $12 a bale, has stim- ulated business throughout the entire south. The advance of a cent a pound in sugar, with prospects for a crop double that of last year in size, and a growing demand for rice have added to the hopeful outlook and the general feeling of optimism. The influence of the cotton advance is more clearly evident when it is realized that the unsold cotton from last year's crop and the new crop has been enhanced a hundred and seventy mil- lion dollars in value. In June cotton brought but $57 a bale, the lowest average in many vears. At the opening of the scason last year it sold for $174 a bale, and this shrinkage, estimated to represent a loss to the south of a billion and a half dollars, had caused a general feeling of pessimism prior to the recent advance. Jobbers report that as a consequence of the better sentiment, the country mer- chants are buying more freely than for a long time and increasing the size of their orders. ~ Dry goods and department stores are enjoying an unusually good summer trade. The export of wheat through this port has increased largely and is mow more than double what it was a year ago. move and the old crop is cleared up satisfactorily.
