To the Wise: Cheasty’s Reorganization Sale of Cloth- ing, Hats and Furnishings Is the Oppor- % tunity of the .Year 9 " | Greatest Values Ever Offered in Seattle survey of the condition of b Industry. Wednesday we covered d barometer of bus ted the situation as to crops, bank- dition of {mportant business Mnes, such as the steel, textile umber manufacturing tnaustries, is regarded as indicative of the general condition of business. What this condition is may be wathered roughly from the government figures as to exports and tm ports of these articles. There are no accurate statistics as to the do- mestic production, } The imports of tron and steel manufactures for the ten-month period ending in April, 1914, were approximately one million, dollars loss than for the same period ending April, 1913. This yoar they were $26,119,691, as compared with $27,162,846 last year, In 1912, such imports fo similar period were $21,610,668, This would seem to indicate that the new tariff {s not having the effect of crippling the steel trust, or the independents of the United States, in thelr effort to compete with foreign steel in the home market As to exports of tron and steel manufactures there was a consider: j able falling off th ear as compared with 1915, when the United States exported $252,658,481, as compared with §212,818,674 of thiw year's ten-month period. In 1912, we exported for the same period $208.269,183. This loss of forty million dollars tn the export trade in the foreign market between 1913 and 1914 by the American tron and steel manufacturers, without any corresponding increase in the sales tn the home market, indicates a slowing down of this industry tn | the United States, F YOU haven't taken advantage of the wonderful of- ferings at Cheasty’s, you are losing one of the great- is est of opportunities. So large was the superb stock of fine clothing, suits, overcoats and raincoats that the hun- dreds upon hundreds of garments that have been sold in the last few days have scarcely limited the range of selec- tion.

THE CONDITION OF LABOR f ‘ has eee | | As & result of the preliminary inquiries of the tndustrial relations commission, the condition of labor is known to reflect the condition of Kenerally slowed down business. ‘There is not at the present time the eame degree of acute unem- ployment that existed during last wint: The big crops have furnist- and the partial resumption of building absorbed some of the labor which! |and other periodic industri | Was at that time unemployed, to the American Federation of Labor are to the effect that union labor finds employment fairly steady'in the East and in some parts of the West.
