Trade Precautions
Expected to Save
Many From Slump
Concerns Which Keep Daily
Watch on Blu ines 8
Trends in Better Posi-
ton to Escape Drop

Precautions that most commercial
enterprises have taken to avoid the
business bump" expected as result
of defation will prevent it's occur
renee, in the opinion of several trade
leaders. Under the new policies that
have been adopted by most large
business concerns it is almost impos-
sible for the unexpected to happen.
Never before in the history of bus
mess has closer watch been kept
upon the daily progress of trade, with
the result that most merchants are
now in a position to make quick
changes that eliminate disaster.
Years ago." said prominent whole
sale merchant yesterday, "most of us
were content with annual or semi
annual inventories. Now most of us
demand to know the condition of our
stock at least monthly. and I and sew
eral other merchants with whose
methods | am familiar have systems
of perpetual inventories and daily re-
ports which tell us the condition of
our affairs every day of the week. BY
detect changes in the business tenor
before they have proceeded far enough
to cause any damage and to take steps
to remedy any conditions that might
prove to be DISASTROUS"
Another change that has come over
business since the buyer began cur
failing his purchases is reflected in
the strenuous sale policies and ad-
vertising campaigns now in prepare.
ton by number of leading concerns.
Inquiry among advertising agents re-
veals the fact that some of the most
ambitious advertising campaigns yet
seen will be launched this fall in an
effort to stimulate dwindling business.
Statesmen are being coached in inten-
sive selling methods and there has
been wedding out of incompetents
in both TIE selling and producing ends
of business.

Commercial Credit

The protracted dull period in which
merchandise is practically unstable is
rendering the need of money acute in
many of the large concerns in the
silk trade. 1t was rumored yesterday
that three of the largest manufactur-
ers Of silks in the country have been
forced to ask for trusteeships to ex-
tend over periods up to three years.
1t is understood that the firms are
thoroughly solvent, but that their
principal assets consist of their
plants and merchandise, on which it ia
almost impossible to realize ready cash
at present. Large concerns in other
lines of trade also are affected by the
large dropping off in sales which has
curtailed their income. The task of
finding funds with which to continue
current operations is said to be par
ticularly difficult
Rates for commercial money con-
tinue at their high levels. Eight per
cent is the minimum rate at which
most commercial paper is discounted.

Break i'm Cotton
Sends Prices to
Lowest i'm DAYS
October Down More Than SIS
a Bale, With Other Early
Deliveries Weaker; Mar
ket Nervous From Start

Between increased nervousness over
European conditions and reports of
lower spot offerings in the Southwest,
the cotton market was extremely weak
and unsettled yesterday. Closing quo
tations for both August and Septem-
Der showed declines of no less than
two cents a pound from the final quo
tation of last week.
These prices, of course, were nomi-
nal, as there was only one sale of
August, at $3.50, during the early trad
ing and TO business in September, but
October and later deliveries showed
net losses of IS to 1875 points, with
October selling at 1855, compared
32.65, the high price of last Wednes-
day, and 1925, the high record, of last
April. Last prices we're the lowest Of
the day and the talk of an easier stu
alton in the Southwest was confirmed
by the official report showing a decline
of 1875 points in the Dallas market,
with mlddllng cotton quoted at 1920.
The market was nervous and unset
tied from the start, first prices being
easy, at decline of 100 points on
August and of II to 81 points on later
positions. There was some buying on
the continued wet weather map and the
forecast for another week of showery
conditions, but comparatively slight
rallies met increased offerings, and the
market soon weakened The daily
forecast for the Western belt was
more favorable and ENCOURAGED sellers
during the middle of the day, when
there were also rumors that European
importers had temporarily withdrawn
their buying orders.
These rumors were not confirmed
but probably had an unsettling in
huence, while the decline later was
stimulated by the reports of easier
spot offerings in the South, and nu-
merous stop orders were uncovered on
the break of about 10 to 1873 points on
the active months.
According to a local exporter, his
firm has received no cancellation of
European buying orders and has been
buying a little cotton for the CONT
nent on scale down. Other shippers.
however, say that the demand for
prompt shipment Of the new crop
has never been less active in their ex-
perlencc at this season of the year,
and the days market appeared to be
chiefly dominated by the fear of in
creasing spot pressure, owing to the
absence of trade demand and increas-
ing new crop receipts.
Southern spot markets, as officially
reported, were unchanged to 1875 points
lower, with Houston reporting sales
of 2,139 bales at 1926 for middling
and Dallas 1903 bales at 1890 for
middling.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and 100 points lower, at $3.50;
no sales were reported
The range of prices follows:

Railroads Sue to Block
Law for 2-Cent Fares

CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-suit was filed
in the United States District Court
here to-day By seven railroads to re-
strain the Public Utilities Commits
sion and Attorney General Brundage
from enforcing the 2-cent fare law,
which is to become effective August
81, when the Federal guaranty to the
roads ceases.
The suit also asked that States At
torney Maclay Hoyne, Of Cook County,
be restrained from enforcing the intra-
state fare law. Other railroads are
to file similar suits, attorneys said.
The railroads position alleges that
the. utilities commission has no power
to lower the rate beneath that fixed by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The interstate rate is about 8 cents a
mile.
Railroads subscribing to the suit are
the Illinois Central, Chicago G. East
ern Railroad. Chicago & Northwestern
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Chica-
Rock Island & Pacific, and the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe.

Price Declines in Textiles
UnWclcOme to Both Sides

Price declines in the textile fields are
as unwelcome to some buyers as they
are to most sellers. Instances are
cited by manufacturers selling agents
in which buyers have asked that pres
ent prices be maintained as long as
possible and that no reductions be
made until the buyers have had an op-
portunity of disposing of the goods
they have in stock or on order.
That some manufacturers, particu-
larry in the hosiery field, are thus
