LOWER PRICES AID BUSINESS
Demand for Merchandise Shows Mod.
crate Increase-cotton Mills
Curtaii Production.

New York, Nov. o. Dun's Review
of November 10, says: Certain
changes for the better have appeared
in business. The Improvement is
slight, and none at all is visible In
various quarters, but some of the in
dicatiOns are more favorable than in
recent weeks. While immediate COM
mercial revival is not expected, sound
er conditions in the future are fore
Swallowed. @Demand for seasonable
goods has moderately increased, and
offerings of merchandise at lower
prices seems to be meeting with a
somewhat broader response. A de-
cline in October building permits does
not mark new development but the
decrease-10.9 per CENTS larger than
has been witnessed in recent months.
Narrowing Of the disproportion be-
tween the prices Of Independent steel
companies and those of the leading
producer has continued. The demand
nearly everywhere has receded. Signs
of Improvement in the leather trade
have not been wholly lacking, and
better feeling has developed in the
East from the fact that some large
buyers have made inquiries. A little
more activity has also appeared in the
West.
Development of a somewhat broad
err inquiry and demand for dry goods
appeared this week, though price con-
cessions are still necessary to stimu-
late buying. With curtailment of cot
ton production at mill centers increas-
ing steadily. less than 100000 bales
of raw cotton were consumed in this
country last month. For the sixth
consecutive week bank clearings dis.
close reductions from last year fig
ures, this weeks total of $7,976,S3O,-
036 as reported to Dun Review be-
ing Il per cent less than the CORE
spending period of 1919. The exhibit
is again decidedly against this year,
showing loss Of 10 per cent.

ORDERS FARMERS
TO co ON STRIKE
National Union Urges Nation
Wide HoIdup of All Products
From Farms.
SEE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS
Ean Ordered on Selling Until Prices
Reach "Profit- Making Levels"-Re-
duction of Production Threatened
Unless Prices Are Adjusted.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 20.-A nation
wide producers strike to combat the
falling prices of farm products was
urged in call sent out by the Ma
tional Farmers union to its local
unions throughout the country.
The call. in the form of a resolution
adopted at the national convention OF
the organization here, went forward
to secretaries of local branches OF the
organization, which represent produc-
ers of grain, cotton, wool and 1--we
stock, said to number 100000.
The proposed strike was urged IN
retaliation for what the convention
considered abnormal def1atiOn In
prices of farm products, through
which it was asserted American farm
ers have been robbed Of 81 ,0OO,O OO.0OO
in reduced value of products now
on hand. All farmers were appealed
to to hold this years production from
the markets until "profit-making lev
els'' were restored.
The action of the National Farmers
union was in line with "wheat strike
called several weeks ago by the Wheat
Growers Association of the United
States. Delegates asserted a consider
able quantity of this years wheat crop
was being held off the market.
Reduction of production in the fu-
ture was threatened "unless the prices
of our products are fairly readjusted
to the end that we may obtain just
returns for our labOrS and invest
ments" is another resolution approved
by the convention.
Officials of the organization pointed
out that members were not under obi
cation to obey the terms of the strike,
but expressed the belief that such a
movement would be effective.
A conference of representatives OF
all farmers organizations of the cOun-
try was called to meet in st. Louis De-
cember 10 to consider the creation OF
a national farm marketing board.
Des Moines, Ia, Nov. pa move
ment to restore the war finance corpo-
ration, with $1,0O0,OO0,000 capitaliza-
tion, as a positive and immediate way
of restoring grain prices, was inaugu-
rated by the board of directors of the
Des Moines chamber of commerce.

Well Organized General Attack Made
by the RepubIicans-Black and
Tans Fire Into Crowd
of $1,000.

London, Nov. 23.-London was
plunged in welter of bloodshed when
warfare was openly waged between
the military and the republicans. So
neaVy were the casualties it is yet i'm
possible to estimate the number Of
dead and wounded. Latest messages
from the bullet-ridden city speak of
scores of dead and the hospitals filled
with wounded in the bloodiest conflict
since the 1916 rebellion.
Dublin castle, the seat of govern
ment in Ireland, issued the following
official statement on Sundays Sim
Fein reprisals in Dublin:
"Sinn Fein murder gangs numbering
II to % each simultaneously attacked
the lodgings of the military and legal
officers in Dublin.
Thirteen officers were killed and
four were desperately wounded. All
Of these men were recently engaged in
cOurt-martial duties.
1.-THE assailants diligently searched
for documents and succeeded in de-
stroying a quantity of evidence"
Following a great fire at the docks,
with coal yards blazing and large ships
burning, the lists of dead and wound
ed constantly frightening, the fright
cars bearing British soldiers dashed
into a crowd of $4,000 people attend
ing a Gaelic football game.
The field of the game quickly be-
came a scene of carnage as a hurri-
cane of bullets swept over the play
ing field, creating a panic among the
spectators.
Ten were killed and at least seventy
were wounded. The game was be-
tween teams from Tipperary and Dub
lin, and play had only proceeded for
10 minutes when the invasion by SOL
diers occurred.
A well organized attack on former
and present officers of the 'Black and
Tans' is reported in Dublin.
Captain Newberry of the "Black and
Tans'' was shot dead at his residence.
Twelve others, most of them former
officers, also have been killed.
Three men, named Thomas Smith,
Maclean and Kaldow, were shot at a
house on Northampton road and two
others were shot at the Gresham hotel.
Another fight during raid resulted
in the deaths Of two soldiers and one
civilian. Several other persons were
wounded.
The Sim Fein attacks were antici-
pated by the British authorities. 1t
had been learned that the Irish repub-
lican leaders were planning a wide
spread reign of terror by shooting
"Black and Tans."
The "Black and Tans" for some
time have been making their rounds
in groups of four and five in anticipa-
ton of the attacks.
Cork, Nov. 23.-This city is in a
state of panic, with many Of the resi-
dents quitting the city and Fastening
into the country in fear of further re-
prisals by the soldiery.
The kidnapping of a detective as he
was leaving a church was quickly fol-
lowed by the shooting to death Of a
boy in broad daylight by soldiers in a

After all the stomach plays a great
part in everyday life. Without a
healthy stomach and good digestion our
