CHAPTER XXI.

They found the job. It needed an
apprenticeship Of only six weeks, dur
ing which period George was to re-
ceive fifteen dollars week; after
that he would get twenty weight. This
settled the apartment question, and
Fanny was presently established in Il
greater contentment than she had
known for long time.
On Sunday mornings Fanny went to
church and George took long walks.
He explored the new city, and found
it hideous, especially in the early
spring, before the leaves of the shade
trees were out.
One Of his Sunday walks, that
spring, he made into a sour pilgrimage.
1t was a misty morning of belatcd
snow slush, and suited him to a per-
lection of miserableness, as he stood
before the great dripping department
store which now occupied the big plot
of ground where once had stood both
the Anderson hotel and the Anderson
opera house. From there he drifted to
the old ANDERSON block" but this was
only shadow. The old structure had
not been replaced. but cavernous en-
tryway for trucks had been torn in it's
front. and upon the cornice, where the
old separate metal letters had spelt
Henderson block" there was a long
bill board sign: "DoOgan Storage"
To spare himself, he went out Ma.

slush-cOvered wreckage where the
Mansion and his mothers house
had been. and where the Majors ILL.,

these were down. too. to make room
for the great tenement already shaped
In unending lines of foundation.
He turned away from the devastated
site, thinking bitterly that the only
Anderson mark still left upon the
town was the name of the boulevard
Anderson boulevard. But he had reck-
oned without the city council of the
new order. and by an unpleasant coin
cidence, while the thought was still
in his mind, his eyes fell upon metal
oblong sign upon the lamp-post at the
corner. There were two of these little
signs upon the lamp-post. ut an obtuse

words "Tenth street."
George stared ut it hard. Then he
walked quickly along the boulevard 10
the next corner and looked ut the little
sign there. ''Tenth street."
1t had begun to rain. but George
stood unheeding, staring at the little

back through the soggy streets toward

said.

she knew what he was going to say,
and that was why she had been more
and more nervous. "Hadn't-perhaps

Commercial Credit

Both New York and out-of-town bank
ing institutions were reported yester-
day by dealers in the acceptance mar
ket to be absorbing a moderate quantity
of bills. Rates remained unchanged.
Commercial paper continues to dis

supply of bills is coming out, and the
main inquiry for them is from the in

Monthly Review of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, just made public,

large commercial centers the banks
generally refrained from buying, and
dealers relied upon country banks to

$4,000, 900 Lost
By Wool Growers
I'm Price Decline
Western Expert Estimates
Manufacturers Allowed
U. S. Only 3 Pounds of
Virgin Goods Per Capita

Wool growers of the United States
lost $4,000 .000 in the decline to 25
cents pound in the price of raw wool
early this summer, according to an
estimate made yesterday at the annual
meeting of the National Sheep and
Wool Bureau of America in Chicago
by the president Of the organization,
Alexander Walker.
Mr.. Walker asserted that there were

gin wool in the worlds storehouses.
or soon would be; that the textile
manufacturers of the United States
used 1l3,00o,000 fewer pounds of virgin
wool last year than in 1918 and that
the drop would be greater this year.
Inc conference took up many items of
interest to the industry, chief of which
was pressure to arouse public opinion
in behalf OF the French -Capper truth
in-fabric bill, which would compel
manufacturers to stamp every yard of
their cloth entering interstate trade
with its content of virgin wool and
wool substitutes.
II doubt if the manufacturers are
allowing the people of the United
States three pounds of virgin wool
per capita this year." said j. F. Walker,
president of the Fleece Wool States
Association They need twelve pounds
per capita. I remember short time
ago visiting certain woolen mill.
There wasn't a pound of virgin wool
on the premises-nothing but shoddy
They were turning out woolen blankets
of straight shoddy, which should not
have retailed for more than SIS a pair.

these blankets selling at the leading
department store for S45 a pair A
competitor had special sale of the
blankets for s39.5O a pair"
"lf the French -Capper bill is not
passed quickly so as to open the eyes
Of the public to the fact that the
textile manufacturers are meeting their
demand for virgin wool cloth with re-
worked rags" said Byron Wilson, sec
retary of the Wyoming Wool Growers
Association. there will soon be no wool
grown in the United States to supply
their demand and no sheep for food
purposes either"

Expected Break in Cotton
Trade Prepared for Lower
Prices Of Raw Commodity

Yesterdays severe break in cotton,
which carried prices down from $8 to
$40 bale under the closing of Satur-
day and virtually back to the lows of a
week ago, was not entirely unexpected
In the trade, which had been warned of
tendency toward lower levels.
One of the close observers in the
trade said yesterday before the opening
Of the market that sharp declines
might be expected before long. but
he was of the opinion that it would be
unwise to press sales on declines.
I'm adopting this view." he said,
we are influenced by technical mar
ket conditions as applied not only to
the speculative position, but trade COM
mltments as we'll. AS general mar
ket proposition an extended decline
such as we have had recently exhausts
most of the bearish potentialities for
the time being. and the price tendency
is likely to be more or less broken up
by irregular fluctuations which reflect
hesitation on the part of the trade in
an effort to get its new bearings.
The assumption that cotton will
reach ultimately lower levels is based
on the view that the present crop will
De the second or third largest on rec
ord and that the slowing up in the
textile industry, coupled with the
abundant yield prospects will result
In very slack demand for raw ma
terial.
while we believe that these con-
ciusions are justified, they are by no
means absolutely established and they
may be temporarily Offset by other fac
tors. One feature that should not be
overlooked is the likelihood that many
Shippers, already committed to a
greater or less extent to forward en-
gagements, have been Influenced by the
weakness of the market to stand open
IN their transactions in the hope of
covering their requirements under the
pressure OF new crop receipts. We
snould not be surprised if this short
interest should prove to be quite large
In, spite Of the claims that forward
sales this season are smaller than
usual"

Quigley Doubts Coler's

John J. Quigley, assistant supervis-

tnat he doubted the accuracy of the
assertion of Commissioner of Public

He said he did not doubt that

Oppose Preseason. Sales
Many Retailers Foresee More
Trouble This Winter

Many retailers in the clothing bust
ness have come out against preseason
sales, especially in overcoats, believing
that such a course will further COM
plicate what promises to be an unset
tied season ahead. They feel that it
will be difficult to sell overcoats of
the new stock this autumn after the
public has been accustomed to cut
price clearances.
1t is feared that present sales will
seriously handicap business later in
the year, when the public is ready to
buy actual needs. 1t hardly seems
reasonable to expect good business
to follow when prices of $50 to $50 are
