Stabilized Prices ON Cotton
Goods Expected Next Month
Increase in Sauings
Hints Economy Trend

Failing off in consumer pur-
chases is regarded in the light of
voluntary abstention from spend
ing rather than a decided de-
crease in purchasing power by
the Cleveland Trust Company. In
its latest business bulletin this
bank, located in a city where un-
employment is reported to have
reached high figures, says:
"A significant recent develop
ment has been the growth of saw
ings. Time deposits, largely rep
resenting savings, of the Cleve-
land Clearing House banks gained
AZ per cent from January | to
November "a. Of this increase
l.8 per cent took place in the
eight months to September l,
while the gain in the three subse-
quent months was "a per cent.
The record evidently reflects a
growing spirit of economy. It
also indicates the storing up Of
buying power for use when prices
get to a level demanded by con-
sumers."

Trade Looks for Revision
on Bed Rock Basis and
Expects an Increase in
Business on a Good Scale

The last word on low prices for cot
ten goods in general is expected to be
spoken by the large commission mer-
chants here some time early in Janu-
sry. Developments have taken place
during the week. welding the op MON
~ the cotton goods men into harmony,
and although nothing definite has been
decided upon. word has gone out from
the trade that price revis ons will be
made upon a bedrock basis, that the
market probably will move in unison
upon this policy and that it will be
safe for jobbsrs, retailers and other
users OF cotton goods to place orders
as soon as the new pr ces are made.
This development is understood to
have occurred at recent meeting be-
tween the leading wholesale associa-
ton and the organizat on to which
mos. OF the large commission mer-
chants belong The wholesalers are
said 10 have brought up the point that
the individual reductions of various
houses coming at tferent times and
the variation in prices was the most
disturh ng element in the market, in
Auencing the buyers to delay making
ter spring purchases as long as pos
able. 1t is said that the jobbers also
pointed out the fact that the market
will have to move swiftly if much
spring business is to be obtained. as
the time left for the making and ship
ping of goods in time for the spring
trade is short.
Talk in tie trade yesterday was CEN
tered on the new prices for percales
made By one selling agency. The new
price cut one cent yard under the
prices made on November Is, and
touched q level therto not reached in
the market If the other cotton goods
commission merchants adhere to the
gentemen's agreement supposed to
have been reached at this weeks meet
ing it is likely that No more price cut
ting will take place unit the market
moves as whole next month.

Pacific Oil Director
Optimistic on Future
Paul shoup Believes Conditions
in California Are Bright,
but Labor Scarce

Faui Shoup, vice president Of the
Southern Pacific Company and a di-
rector of the newly organized Pacific
Oil Company, in New York yesterday
talked optimistically OF conditions in
California.
california has had the best rains in
some years" he said. 1.-THE crop pros
poets are very good. One of our best
crops, by the way. Is the tourist crop
two yields year. one summer and one
winter, and the winter prospects were
never better.
Judging from ali reports by which
we can gauge the situation, business is
Tar better in California than through
out the rest of the country. The rail-
road business continues to be quite fair
IN volume. Of course, the Pacific Coast
cannot and does not escape altogether
from the influences that affect the rest
OF the country.
Scarcity of labor in California, which
has retarded many enterprises in the
last year, has disappeared as an i1npor-
tant factor. There Is practically no
unemployment, however. We have no
decided reductions in our own forces.
such as many roads over the United
States are reported to have made.
Much of the reduction made recently
by roads in the East and North was
due tn seasonal causes--a factor that
does not appreciably affect US. Our
maintenance work has been carried on
effectively all summer and fall, and it
has not been necessary to maintain
forces doing that work up to the high
est quota"

Merchandising Activities
of u. S. Continue to Shrink

Merchandising activities of whole
salers and retailers throughout the
United States continue to show a de-
clining scale, according to thi. weeks
report issued by the Credit Clearing
House. Purchases .rom wholesalers
and manufacturers during the week de-
cljned g per cent from those Of the
week previous, and we're 1912 per cent
less than the same week a year ago
md as per cent less than two years
ago.
Indebtedness shows a slight decrease.
g per cent, but was still 46 per cent
ahead of last year, and 8 per cent
greater than two years ago. For the
Nrst time in several weeks an i'm
prcvement in payments is noted. Pay
Haents for the week were 8 per cent
letter than a week ago, but 81 per
cent less than yea ago, and 2.5 per
cent under those of TWO years ago.

Commercial Credit

Credit restriction is continuing with
renewed vigor in the local Wholesale
markets. The limits that have been
placed on the amount Of merchandise
certsin retailers and other merchants
will be permitted to buy are extremely
low in some wholesale houses. The
retail trade is now presenting the
chief spot in ,he credit situation where
caution is being practiced. 1t is felt
thst many Of the smaller fetailers will
not be able to survive the stiff COM
petition that is expected to ensue dur
ing the January clearance sales, and
wholesalers are watching their stops
in Supplying merchandise for these
special selling events
Commercial paper originating in this
market is discounting freely at ga

How ever, it is said that the volume Of
business remains snell, with infre-
quently a large order received.
The desire to have but smsll stock
on hand at the time for the taking
of the annual inventory has, in the
opinion Of a leading leather man, been
one of the main reacons for the buy
ing for immediate requirements only
He asserted that prices on raw and
finished leather in some cases have
been quoted below the pllce in pre-wa1
days, with few instances Of quota
items which have been below the cost
of production. Prices have reached
rock bottom, he believes, and he looks
forward to a gradual improvement
early next year.

the Fur market is in most unsettled condition.
There is very pronounced shortage, brought
on by strikes and other adverse conditions.
Prices have taken spectacular jump upward.
But so long as our supply lasts there'll be no
increase in prices. But when we have to go
into the market again to buy furs, we will have
to pay more. Then our prices will necessarily
have to go up.
That's why you should buy now-while
stocks are complete and prices are down. Come
in and investigate.
