Glazed kid manufacturers report a good
demand for till grades aim putt-s e.,.
Shoe dealets icport delays In shipments
from manufacturers and a consequent scar
tlty of some grades of shoes Milllnerv
denlcw state the reason- has 1 been fairly
satisfactory, but trade during the last week
has been moderate. ,
The volume of new contracts In the bul d
Ing line started the last week was consid
erably In excess of the previous week.
While tho number of operations was the.
same, the estimated cost was about $1,000,.
000 greater. The new operations Include
several large factory buildings and some
new municipal buildings at Byberry,
There Is a latge amount of proposed al
terations as well as substantial new build
ings being estimated on Labor conditions

Improvement In the delivery of materials
The condition of the chemical market
1. ..neVmntred! while there Is a fair demand,
there Is a shortage In stock In some lines
due to the war.
The situation In dpestuffs remains about
the same; no foreign des are coming Into
the market, and while the demand has
fallen oft somewhat, prices continue high
The paper market continues to show Im
provement. Manufacturers and Jobbers re
port a steady Inciease In volume of sales,
although i-ome mills are still experiencing

Taint manufacturers, dealers In paints
and painters' supplies report a steady In
crease In this line of business. Purchases

dealers report an Increase In this line nf
business. Manufacturers report a profitable

IhuX the volume of business done In this line
will equal that for the same period of
1916.
Wholesale grocers report a satisfactory
volume of business and collections satis
factory. A good feeling as to future bus!,
nesa conditions Is prevalent. Retailers re
port buslnejs Inclined to be a little slow

1 Manufacturers of cloaks and suits state
the Bprlng business was somewhat back

Manufacturers of bovs clothing- have
had a cood season and prospects favorable
