(’., April 28.—Admit ting a certain business glow-up treasury officials maintained today there is nothi ing fundamentally wrong which indi cates a loss of prosperity. They regard Hie present trend as a temporary lull, which is likely to occur in any high, low or average period. One of the attributing factors, in Sec retary Mellon’s opinion is uncertainty regarding the tax reduction bill. He feels that delay with the legislation may have a large effect and that if the bill should be passed now if would stimulate business. Reports to the treasury show that with the exception of a few lines there is no general accumulation of stocks, and while there may be no sharp seasonal recovery consumers seem to be buying as they need rather than in advance. There is never a steady course of busi tw-w, officials point but the pres '**nr~voiiime i« good nnd thoro is no fun damental cause which eodid start busi ness down hill. . The tendency of the treasury is to con | sider the lull slight and of no particular consequence. If was pointed out that no difference would result from change in the Federal Reserve rediscount rate Secretary Mellon attended the Reserve Board meeting today, but made known there was nothing of public interest in his presence there.

Va„ April 30.—The busi-| ness situation -at the middle of April of' the Fifth Federal Reserve District was j complex, both favorable and unfavor able factors being discernible, according to the monthly review issued by the! Fifth Federal Reserve Bank of this city. In comparison with the corresponding period last year, when business was de veloping a speculative tendency, March! business this year was marked by eon-, servatism at best and by distinct hesi tancy in several important lines, says! the review. The greatest contrast be-1 tween business in March, 1023. and! March, 1024, in the Fifth District is! seen in the textile industry, which is' at present operating on restricted time and without sufficient orders to absorb even the limited output of the mills, it was pointed out, while at this season last year the mills were running full time and had sufficient orders on hand for several' months ahead. Business failures in March exceeded all previous months ,in liabilities involved, due, how ever, it was said, to one large failure. They were five per cent, more numerous than they were in March of 1023, it, was declared. The review states that the coal mines of the district are not averaging more than a 40 per cent, output, of their ca pacity due to tiie lack of orders. The farmers claim that labor is scarce because they cannot pay the wages of fered by the road construction forces, according to the review. The wet and cold spring has prevented 'the preparation of the soil for planting, says the review, and this will greatly delay the crops. This is now a more important factor than ever before, it was further stated, due to the invasion! of the district by the bell weevil. “It was gratifying to find, however,! that an examination of the favorable factors plainly visible in the Fifth Dis trict shows that they outweight the un favorable one enumerated in the pro ceeding paragraphs," the review states. "First, a careful study of the apparent weakness reveals encouraging feature's. During the past two weeks some signs of better demand for textile mills prod ucts have developed nnd stocks of goods in the hands of jobbers and retailers are not large. The record liabilities involved in the March failures were due entirely to the difficulties of one very large company and these difficulties are not vindicative of present conditions since the company’s adversities began in 1020. The poor demand for coal is relative, the aggregate demand being 1 Her 24th y : ■T— *“ v \ - Roosevelt would have been proud of the Merroquln family of San Francisco.

THE COTTON MARKET Opened Firm at Advance on Relatively Steady Liverpool Cables—Later Turn er Easier. (By the Associated Press.) New York. April 30.—The cotton market opened firm today at an advance of 20 te. 24 points on relatively steady Liverpool cables, but soon turned easier* under commission house liquidation and Southern, local and Wall Street selling. There was some liquidation of near months here owing to the circulation of additional May notices estimated at about 30.000 bales. May sold off from 20.70 to 20.35 and October reacted from 24.42 to 24.30, making the market net 0 points to 5 points higher. ■ Cotton futures opened firm.

Miller, whose k telegram to the Dearborn Independent quoting President Coofldge J as saying he would fry to deliver Muscle Shoals to Henry Ford was repudiated by the President today, asserted tonight that his telegram was Correct. "A man cannot afford to have a con troversy with the President of the Unit ed States." Miller said, "but I want to say that I quoted the President correct-, ly in my telegram. Perhaps, however. I Mr. Ooolidge has forgotten, because in the thousands of duties that demand liis attention if may be difficult for him j to recall one of many conversations.'’ | large, but the needs of war time en- I couraged tlie opening of so many times that sufficient business to keep them all jViperating profitably in normal times. Previous accumulation of supplies also affecf present demands. Labor, while I scarce for farm work, is plentiful for all construction and industrial purposes and the scarcity of farm hands will tend Ito prevent overproduction of certain 1 crops. The unseasonably cold and wet I spring delayed the budding of trees and tlie present outlook for commercial fruit j growers is better thnn for several years. "The banks as a whole in the district ; are in a position to finance the year’s ; normal needs without strain, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond has extended liberal credits and is in almost the same position it occupied a year ago. The volume of business as by debits to individual accounts in clearing house banks, in the district was greater during the four weeks ending April 9, 11924, than during eight of the four-week periods ending March 12, 1924, and April 11, 1923. “Cotton prices have recently, shown | a rising tendency, and foreign demand I for cotton appears to be gradually im proving. Virginia's tobacco yield turned out (larger /than last fall's estimates. Building operations continue at all-year record levels, with no signs as yet. that any material decline is impending, and dealers in all kinds of building materials are enjoying a large volume of business. Retail trade as indicated by reports < from 2!) large department stores was one-tenth of one per cent, less during the first three months of this year than during the first quarter of 1923, a very satisfactorly volume of business when J it. is remembered that Easter came on April Ist last year but not until April ] 20th this year, a condition that would cause a considerable amount of retail trade that occurred in 1923 to occur in 1924. “The variation in the date of Eaxter also influenced wholesale trade to some extent, postponing all refilling and last orders until April this year. Cumu lative sales in wholesale groceries, hard ware and furniture were greater during the first three months of 1920 than dur ing the corresponding period last year, but sales in dry goods, shoes and drugs were less. The decline in drug sales was small, and it is worthy of mention that spring sale* in dry goods and shoes were very large last year, wbch doubt less acounts for a considerable part of the declines noted in those lines this season."’ » ® TODAY’S • « NEWS m • TODAY m NO. 100 CARR WILL BE HELD 111 DURHAM MONDAY Funeral Party Will Leave Chicago at Noon Thursday and Body Will Be Carried to Durham Home.
