COOL WEATHER HELPS
CONDITION or TRADE
Considering Holiday, Balance
Of Trade Increases Over
Last Week.
Ne#@ york, ec. Sat- ]

Me&s Y scr!s. 9c. Sat
friday said:
Trade conditions stiIl show the effect
OF conservatism dominating demand in
ali lines, but the balance OF business
done this week has been larger. one
holiday considered. The current OF
trade is running fuller han q year s
at this date. This is, however, not due
so much to any marked Improvement
as it is to comparison being made with
the lessening volume Il year ago. Re-
tail trade has been unquestionably G
Gifted by cooler weather, and this prob
ably is reflected in the many small. but
in the aggregate. large sales by job
bers.
Evidences of lower prices for raw and
manufactured cotton affecting buyers
n limiting orders are frequent. but
the output of the country's mills is un-
questionably larger at present a for
a number OF months past.

Dun's review of trade today says
Measured by every important test,
the volume of business is larger than
al the corresponding period last year.
and it is gradually expanding, the re-
ports from the leading trade centcrs
during the week being especially cheer
full. There is apparently no decisive
change in basic conditions, and the in
creased activity recently shown is due
to the fact that shelves are practically
empty.
In iron and steel the business. judg-
ing from the latest reports of untitled
orders by the principal producers. while
showing a slight reduction from last
month, is ahead Of last year, and re-
sistance appears to concessions In
prices. There is a better railroad de-
mand for rolling stock and the strac-
tural demand is also improved.
During the last fortnight there has
been a notable reduction of idle cars,
a sure indication of increased traffic
q fact which is further confirmed by
the September total of railroad ear
ings. which were % larger h a yea

FARMERS TO SOLVE
HIGH COST PROBLEM
National Gathering Suggests
Closer Relations Between
Parties Concerned.

Columbus, Ohio. Oct. I4.-Cieser or
g~anization OF the armer for the pur-
of RELOCATING unearned profits and
putting the producer int the onsum
nearer together, today was advanced as
the only possible solution of the high
cost of living problem, at the opening
of the session of the Farmers National
congress here.
Emphatic appeal was made by many
delegates for h adoption OF resolu-
tons memorializing congress to provide
a parcels post and establish a federal
good Dad bureau. Strong %denuncia-
ton was made of tariff abuses and a
movement started to have congress take
action against the tariff commission.
The conserving OF the National
congress into a national coun-
try life federation. modelled somewhat
after the plan of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor. was proposed today by
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Will
let NJ. Hays, in an address before the
meeting.
Mr.. Hays suggestion is the out
growth Of work he has been carrying
on IN the agricultural department to-
ward country life development, and of
the sentiment aroused by President
Roosevelt's Country Life commission.
The National Farmers congress- is one
of the oldest agricultural bodies of the
country.
Same as in Germany.
Mr.. Hays suggested q change in the
constitution of the association, which
would establish a federation familiar
to the German agricultural society, a.
powerful factor in German rural life.
The plan contemplates a body made up
of delegates from all state declarations
and farmers, together with representa-
tives of colleges, experiment stations
and national organizations in any way
associated with the Improvement OF
conditions of farm living.

existing debts on a just basis, and who
would point the road to peace n pros
perity to two republics. rich In natural
resources, but torn by strife and rev
olution.
The president pointed out the ef-
flcacy of a similar arrangement with
Santo Domingo, where this government

.cussed by b president was that the
Monroe doctrine was a sufficient bond
between the United States and Latin

that we ought to have none OF It Give
