NEW YORK, April 11.-After a
period of part-time operation and alb
solute idleness extending over the
past six months. Brooklyn shoe fac
tories almost without exception are
busy again. This borough of the
greater city leads the United States
in the production of women's and
children's footwear and has 800 fac
tories. normally employing 10000
operatives.
Resumption of activity in them is
the specific result of a renewal OF
buying, and leaders Of the industry
agree that no further change in
prices is to be anticipated. at least
for the finer grades. They insist that
only reduction of labor costs can
bring about a reduction in the cost
not in prospect.
Labor Costs Maintained.
Price reductions on collars and

are just completing analytical
studies of costs.
On these will be based the new
wholesale prices. Labor costs will be
maintained, it is said. but already
and substantial savings are counted
on from this.
New York's retailers are still deep
ly impressed with the factor the
special sale has become in this sea-
sons trade. The frst convincing

extent to which women had taken to

Comparison OF Prices.
Precisely the same evidence that
retail buyers want their moneys s
worth, as nearly as they can get it,
is to met with now. 1t is no un-
usual thing nowadays for a purchase
not to be completed until the shopper
has visited three. four or even six
other stores for purposes Of compar-
ison, of value no less than Of price.
The recognition that merchants are
giving to this factor is a striking
chara cteristic of trade just now. New
York has in the past been rather
given to a take e-or-leave-it attitude.
especially toward out-of-town buyers.
1t can't be done now, and 1t isn't be-
ing tried.

SAN FRANCISCO. Calf, April Ii
Fruit and vegetable shippers OF Cali
fornia are strongly supporting the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
make an investigation Of the situa-
tion in this state looking to a pos
sible reduction Of the transconti-
mental freight rates.
Already, it is claimed. the shippers
have suffered heavy losses because Of
high rates which have prevented
greatly curtailed ana part of the
crop was lost. Last week. onions,
which could not be shipped because
Of high freights, sold in the Sacra-
ment valley for less than the cost of

The potato Dealers who claim that
they are facing bankruptcy, have ap-

Early contracts for grapes point to

has closed contracts for 1000 tons

Some idea Of what this means to the
farmer can be obtained when it is
known that grapes in California Yield
from four to ive to twelve or fifteen
tons to the acre, according to locality
and variety.
Bad Outlook for Potato Men.
There is a wide difference between
the strawberry growers and the pack
ers as to prices. With the prospect of
large crop and an alleged large
carryover. the packers made a condi-
tional offer of cents to cents a
pound. The growers demanded 9
cents. Last season the price was IA
cents to Is cents.
The growers association has levied
an assessment of So a chest on ship
ments of its members to provide funds
with which the growers will pack their
own crop. 1t is claimed that the
demand for processed Strawberries for
use in soft drinks provides a ready
market for the berries. Plants will
be leased to handle the crop. Berries
are just beginning to move freely.
Recent frosts damaged the berry
crop in some sections. Grapes suf-
