JACKSONVILLE DEPENDS ON
FARMS.
JACKSONVILLE: Agricultural con
ditions ii> Morgan couJity are better
than a year ago. For two years they
have been subnormal. .\rmy worm,
drouth, and hog cholera have been a
severe hindrance. Business is heavily
dependent upon th* sticcess of the
farmer. Wheat acreage is the larg
est ever planted and farmerq are
counting on high prices under Euro
pean wai; cimditibns. In foodstuff
lines jobbers report the volume of
business rormal '.vith collections af
fected by subnormal conditions in oth
er lines. Resources have been heav
ily drawn upon by ad lerse agricultur
al conditions. Manufacturing plants
of Jacksonville have been running with
from 20 per cent, to 30'per cent, re
duction in labor employed. The fu
ture looks good locally if crops are
a success.
' —o—
Business picking up.
CAIRO: Et-’sincss conditions in Cai
ro are looking much brighter than for
some time. Yesterday the Chicago
Mill & Lumber Company, one of the.
-largest factories, received orders for
work that vnll keep it bust to utmost
capacity for several weeks. Orders
received by this company were local.
Several factories here manufacture
goods that go entirely to foreign coun
tries and these have been closed since
the war started. Genei'al business is
showing tictivity.
MORE WORK AT FREEPORT.
FREEPORT: A iarge number of
men have been laid oiT by the factor
ies here, but more order,'! are being re
ceived and the prospects are that
many of the n-.en will soon return to
work. The Henney Buggy Company,
a subsidiary of the Moline Plow Co.,
was running at oniy 40 per cent, of
capacity a few weeks ago. It is now
running at 70 per cant, and the indi
cations aie that vfithin thirty days the
productior. t f the factory will be at
forecasts from ^dd men through the
country point to an early resumption
of heavy sales. The P. &■ O. factory
is the only Icrge one in Canton. Heavy
resumption of mining -work is in prog
ress in five large mines in the dis
trict.
FAIRLY BUSY AT CENTRALIA.
' CENTRALIA: Conditions in Cen-
tralia have been about noi-mal all
through the depression. The C>,ntralia
Envelope factory has been steadily in
creasing its output. Coal mines have
been running less than full time and
continue about the Mme. . Baili*oad
business is not pressing, but encour
aging. The shoe heel factory is em
ploying a normal force, and small in
dustries generally are fairly busy.
BLOOMINGTON HOLDING ITS
OWN.
BLOOMINGTON: Bloomington, be
ing a large agricultural center, has
not been affected seriously by the bus
iness depression, the only exception
beinj^ the Chicago & Alton railroad.
The local .'^hops were fni ced to reduce
Iheir forces, but more recently the
for^e; in both the shops and road de-
pariiiient have been greatly increased.
Api:!e fro^M coal carryi.ig the railroad
lu3:ness is up to normal. Other in-
('Usiries of the city are about on a par
with icrmer years.
INDIANA.
SOUTH BEND: South Bend is In
a fair way of witnessing a good reviv
al of business, following -six months
of depression. Within the last few
weeks the icrge manufacturing in
stitutions have been figuring on orders
from Great Britain and Russia. .Al
ready the Studebaker Corporation has
received oi ders from England for au
tomobiles, vT.goUs. s!ed^. and har
ness to the extent of $1.5,000,000. Of
this amount $0,500,000 is for harness.
The Davies Shirt Company has been
asked to take as large a portion of
,J!1 order for 600,000 dozen army shirts
as it can n;ake and the South Bend
Woolen Company has been requested
to accept ;;n order for 25,000 blankets
at a cost ('f $125,000. The supplies
are for the British armies. .411 the
big factories have been increasing
their forccs and it i.s expected that by
January I of South Bend's thous-
Tjarships. iJ. A. Brijj^gs, of the Chi
cago Telephone Supply Company, and
the Briggs Magneto Cpmp^iiny, said
telephone orders have been increasing
remarkably of late. The Sidway Mer
cantile Company, the largest makers
of go-carts in the world, said the
tai'iiing point has been evident for the
last ten days. The Buescher Band In
strument Co.. and C. G. Cora Comp
any report steadily increasing busi
ness.
PREDICT BOOM AT EVANSVILLE.
EVANSVILLE: Manufacturers here
think the it.dustrial conditions of the
country are going to improve from
this time pn. F. R. Wilson, of the
Hercules Buggy Company, -says fu-
tiire orders are now coming in, and
that after the first of the year he
thinks the plant will be running un
der normal conditions. The Indiana ^
Tie Company, one of the largest in-,tracted for a new addition to cost
dustries hev,', has announced that win • | ?20O,G00. Tho working force will be
ter work wi'l be started at once with | increased from 750 to 900 men as soon
an increased force of employes, and
is optimistic concerning the outlook
and declai-es new oriers coming in ■^U
soon cau.se full capacity runs.. The
Barker-Bi'own Shoe Co., likewise is
encoiiraged as is the Hunting Machine
& F'oundry Co. The United States
Needle Co., has its full product sol4
at this time. This is the first time for
more than a year that every manu-
facturerv, in the city expresses satis
faction at t-re-sent conditions.
OVERTIME WORK AT KOKOMO;
KOKOMO; Two thousand men have
returned to work in this city within
the last tv.-o weeks. With the I'eopen-
i.ng of the Kckomo Steel & Wire Co.,
last Monday 1,200 men resumed work.
Other factories which report business
ai^ the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co.,
Globe Stave & Range Co., and the
two Opalescent Glass factorie.s. The
Pittsburgh Glass Company has con-
that half onaugh orders have been i-e-
ceived to nii: the plant full capacity
until Spring. Flour manufacturei-s
here, who do a big business in the
Sc-uthern States, predict a revival of
trade. T hey are optimistic about the
export trade outlook.

RUSH ON AT HUNTINGTON.
HUNTINGTON: Not in the hi.«tory
of Huntington have manufacturing in
dustries been so rushed with orders.
The sudden business revival has caus
ed many factories to run overtime in
order to meet the demands. Foreign
orders have had little to do with the
business awakening here, practically
every order being confined to the Unit
ed States. The Schacht Rubber Co.,
had the largest business the last
month since its organization. The
Schaff Brothers Piano Company for
the first ti:ne in its history was ciim-
pelled to run on Thanksgiving day.
The Majestic Furnace Company’.^
gross business for the year is far in
excess of that of one year ago, J,
