Seasonable Decline In June.
CLOTH MILLS ACTIVE.
Builders Have Best Month So Far.
Washington, Wednesday. The Federal Reserves Board's monthly report says that the out- put of industry declined season- aily in June, particularly in the production of iron and steel. There were also declines in the automobile, silk, and sugar pro- |duction, but cotton and woollen mills continued active, and the production of manufactures as a group was larger than June last year value.
Building contracts awarded were larger than any previous month duc, inter alia, to an increase in the number of con- tracts for public works and
