Where to Extend Credit,

The answers to the questions ot
where and when to extend credit are
apparently of more interest to large
wholesale and retail houses than is the
problem Of how to attract buyers, pri.
marily because Of the inability of
smaller retaters to make a quick turn.
over of their stock on account of the
conservative character Of buying.
Many large wholesalers report little
difficulty in selling goods. but upper,
most in their minds is the question
when will the goods be paid for?
The wholesaler must depend on the
retailer to purchase his merchandise,
but, with bankruptcies Of small retail
houses increasing the wholesaler and
jobber are finding the problem of
credit greater cause of worry. The
next few months are expected to test
the financial organization of every
house. :,

Republic and Lackawanna.

There is nothing in recent happel.
ings or immediate outlook to warrant
the bull dope" now heard regarding
Republic and Lackawanna.
Both will show very poor earnings
in their annual statements, forthcom-
ing after the turn of the year. Under
existing conditions in the industry
they find it hard shedding. Both are
named as among those to be taken
into the big consolidation.
However, froyl all indications there
II no chance of consolidation for a
long time. John J. Topping, head Of
Republic, while regarded in steel cir
cles as one of the most DESTROYS OF a
big steel merger, is observing remark
able reticence when it comes to talk
ing publicly about IL.
1t should be remembered, however,
that his remarks to stockholders early
this year did not hold out much hope
for Improvement for a long period. lie
said this would be "a lean year" and
was not over enthused with the out
look.
Lackawanna should get its share of
whatever rail business is coming along,
burt 1t also has a long road to travel
to normal operation and income.

Fur Manufacturers Strike.

Fur manufacturers have decided
definitely against paying the prices
asked by dealers for new skins, which
they consider excessive. by agreeing
to withhold purchases until prices
have reached a more normal level.
The agreement will not affect the
present stock of furs. but il is believed
that that action will postpone the
early delivery of the new catch which
is coming in.
In explanation of their stand the
manufacturers declare that prices of
fur are higher now than they were in
the boom two years ago. Demand is
now for Hudson seal furs

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-With the

appears to have a chance in the next
six months is that taking in Youngs-
town. Sheet & Tube, Steel & Tube Of
america and Inland.
The other consolidation spoken OF
shows no indications Of being carried
through within any reasonable time.
"Steel merger has been talked of Cor
the last eighteen months.
Should the big consolidation go
through IT would undoubtedly stailize
conditions in the trade, but would not
be of immediate benefit to share
holders of he separate companies.
The idea would be to cut capitalize
ton and overhead to the bone. This,
in the long run, would help earnings
in a normal period
It will be many months before The
steel industry reaches normal again,
and, in the meantime, the stocks will
be subjected to pressure on all weak
