$1OO,000,OOO export financing cor
poration by bankers last week was
an important step to sustain Ameri-
can foreign trade. September exports
at $6O6,OOO,0OO were $22,00o,000
more than August. Imports at $780,
900, 700 showed decline Of $780,
OOO,O0 from the month before cot
ton men have formed a $12,000,-
900 corporation to stimulate cotton
exports.
Warm weather price uncertainty
and diminished purchasing power
have combined to hit the retail
trade this fall. 1t is estimated that
retail stocks are 20 per cent more
than one year ago. Retailers have
reduced their buying 40 per cent.
This situation forecasts further
pronounced price concessions to the
public. Additional declines in cotton
goods have been announced. Cancel
atfons are 'stil causing curtailment

clothing trade is easy to understand.
Some c1othiers announce they will be
forced to sell without profit this

its spring and summer lines on the

not to buy until prices are more set

American bankers have agreed to
aid Cuba, which was caught in the
