There was no evidence of re cession in industry, and in many instances plants were be ing expanded. Marked improve ment in employment was re ported by many cities, while the rising tide in construction con tinued. Drought anviety was removed in most sections as general rains stimulated pastures and speeded up planting with the result that crop conditions were excellent, although some previous injury had occurred. In Delaware, the Spring drought and drying winds resulted in $250,000 crop damage, princi pally to strawberries, accord ing to the Wilmington report. The St. Louis report said rains had been beneficial, but there was still a deficiency of mois ture. In the Louisville, New Orleans, Minneapolis, Hous ton, Dallas, Omaha and Pacific Coast regions, ground was in fine shape. The Jacksonville report estimated the value of Florida fruits and vegetables for the season at $85,477,194. Construction gains were gen eral and in. some cases note worthy. Philadelphia reported permits issued for the four months period, of- $7,255,560, compared with $1,991,420 in the same period last year. April permits in 25 Florida cities were valued at $3,130,246, more than double the same period last year. In San Francisco permits for the four months were 89 percent ahead of last year. Similar gains took place in Dallas, Fort Worth, Detroit and other sections. In the Chi cago suburban area, residential building continued active and considerable store remodeling was in progress.
