 A Chicago jobber has exceeded even these reductions. The volume of sales is increasing and many of those who have been most pessimistic now re- mark that distribution may be broader than expected. Retail sales are keep ing up to the summers high levels. de- liveries from the mills are showing steady improvement, and though half of New Bedford's operatives were said to be wholly or partially idle, August's consumption of lint cotton was 4SS.19S bales, very little below a year ago, and a higher figure than was generally ex- pected.
 That this Is a season when manufac- turers and merchants alike must scale down their profits in the interest of stability is being increasingly recog- nized. for it was the failure to perceive this which caused the sacrifice of much merchandise last spring. There are signs, however, that labor also will share the burden of declining prices. A highly significant dispatch from Phil adelphia last week stated that the em- ployes of hosiery mill have agreed to accept a 10 per cent reduction in wages so that the mill need not close.

The anthracite miners vacation seems definitely over, thes railway yardmen in Chicago finally have decided to go back to work and in Cincinnati 10000 machinists have returned to their jobs after twen- ty weeks of idlness.
