no orersnpply of common labor, ac
cording to a statement today by the
superintendent of the city employ
ment bureau. The demand for skill
ed workers in the saw mills fully
equals the supply and spring plant
ing by the farmers has taken a
large number of migratory workers
out of the cities of the Pacific
Northwest. The building crafts are
working at smaller wages than last
year and the outlook for building
activities this summer is better
than at any time since November,
1918.
Buying of new issues of invest
ment securities is on a broader
Scale than ever. In many of the
high grade issues, subscribers have
had to be content with one-fourth
of the amount they desire to pur
chase. The wholesale dry goods trade
for the first four months of this
year shows gains of about 35 per
cent in dollars over the business
for the corresponding period of last
year. Retailers are showing a desire
to buy all staples close at home and
collections have improved decidedly.

I CLEVELAND.
Cleveland, Ohio. May 4. Reports
from all over Ohio this week show
that more Industrial plants are re
opening and those already in opera
tion are employing more men 'to
keep pace- with increasing business.
McKinny Steel company of this city
started six new open hearth fur
naces to enable the plant to keep up
with orders. Tbe Otis Steel com
pany reports a steady Increase in
operations with tbe sheet mill run
ning at 100 per cent capacity.
The Mahoning Valley Steel plants
nave been able to Increase nroduc
tion In spite of the coal strike. The
Brier Hill Steel, company started
another furnace today, and steel
men say there are supplies of fuel
on hand for two or three months.
Employment in 100 Cleveland
plants used by the Chamber of
Commerce as a basis for estimating
conditions, is now within 438 per
sons of the peak-of employment in
1921. A survey completed today
shows that employment in these
plants gained 4.6 per cent in April
over March. In 18 plants manufac
turing vehicles for land transpor
tation, employment Increased 78 per
cent in tbe first four months of the
year. Demand for tire3 has brought
increased- production at the Akron
rubber plants.
KAXSAS CITY.
Kansas City, Mo., May 4. The
weather which remains cool and
rainy, continues to be the dominat
ing factor in current business and
has curtailed retail trade. Viewing
the situation broadly, however, this,
will increase confidence in future
activity. Farmers are from two
weeks to a month late with -their
customary spring planting but the
rain has aided in developing the
alfalfa, wheat and other crops al
ready in the ground.
Reports frcm the Ozark region i
of Missouri state that the estimate j
of the strawberry crop has beer in-
creased from 1,000 cars to 2,300 1
cars. This means an output of.
30,000,000 quarts, the largest in the
history of the region. The Kan
sas Horticultural society predicts
a bumper fruit crop in that state.)
Only in Wyandotte county does the j
crop appear in danger. The cause
of the trouble is an unusual inva-
I sion of insects.
! The building trade workers and
j their employers are still dead
i locked on adoption of a wage scale
for the next year. The old contract
expired May 1. Contractors threat
en open shop operation unless a re
duction in wages of 15 per csnt is
accepted. The purchases of load
and sine ore' in the Tri-State field
for the last week in April were by
far the largest reached this year.

and St. Paul. ,
Cleveland. May 4. The Detroit
and Cleveland Navigation company
