Trade Centers Report Improvement Amid Mixed Summer Slump
Reports from 34 Department of Commerce district offices show a firmer overall tone in the week ended July 11 with upward shifts in basic trade, though some localities feel the summer lull. In Boston, cotton dipped while wool, silk, hosiery, silverware and jewelry rose. A drought and production trends loom over prices, with wheat prospects improved by possible Canadian shortages and hemispheric output changes. A Virginia farmer, R. R. Keyes of Augusta County, claims 46.52 bushels per acre from 11 acres, netting about $54 profit at market. He notes low prices still threaten profits and plans to hold most of his crop.
