Big Squirt in Business;
New Record at st. Paul
BY L. 8. McKENNA.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST PAUL, October 25:-Wholesale
and retail trade here has been showing
big gains as result of a rush by con-
sumers to stock up in preparation for
IL possible rail strike. An idea of the
squirt in business may be gained from
the report of the Minnesota Transfer
Company. which. on Sunday. transferred
$3.50 loaded cars, establishing a new
record. The transfer company handles
shipments originating in the Twin cities.
The clothing trade has been espe-
cialIy brisk. The largest clothing estab-
nshment in the Twin cities Is advertis-
ing that business is great and We are
In need Of extra statesmen"
The credit situation in the northwest
Is improving. Farmers have sold a
part of their grain and have liquidated
IL large part Of their debts. These pay
ments probably will be temporarily
halted as farmers are expected to hold
their grain now until the reduction in
freight rates, ordered Saturday, goes
into effect. AS a result of credit liqui-
dation by the country banks. st. Paul
and Minneapolis banks have reduced the
rate of loans on commercial paper to
g.. per cent.
The Northwestern headquarters of
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail-
road have announced a further reduc-
tion Of dining car prices, ranging from

Pittsburgh Trade Expands;
Unemployment Is Reduced
BY H. b. LAUFMAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURGH, October rs THE
gradual movement of industrial con-
ditions toward normal is reducing
the number Of unemployed in this
district, and as a direct consequence
retail trade is expanding. Believing
that business was to be had, one
large department store began this
month with a strenuous newspaper
advertising campaign. utilizing many
pages Of space. Every business day
this month the sales Of this store
have exceeded those Of the corre-
spending day a year ago. Merchants
declare that it takes more effort to
get business, but that 1t Is there II
gone after.
Business men here do not expect
the threatened railroad strike to ma
terialize, but they believe that as
result of the controversy there will
be general reduction in freight
rates, which, it is predicted. will
speed up the industrial wheels Of
this section. Many feel existing rates
are the factor which alone is retard-
ing progress.
The great Homestead works OF the
Carnegie Steel Company have reached
60 per cent of normal production.
New steel business is not of large
volume. but the cut in the prices of
rails and other developments are
looked upon as factors tending to-
ward increased orders.
