received reporters in his chambers in

report that the rundown of Judge
Talley and the substitution for him
on the ticket OF Justice Cornelius
II. Collins OF the Court Of Special
Sessions was a slap at ex-Gov. Smith

say that Mr.. Smith did not select
Judge Tnlley for appointment to the
General Sessions bench for personal
reasons and that he has no interest,
political or otherwise, in Judge Tai

not unnatural In view OF the approach

PITTSBURGH. November 29.-Busi-
ness and Industrial conditions in this
section remain favorable, despite a
slowing up as to the production and
a slight decrease in mill operations in
certain localities. Valley plants are
reported to be curtailing operations
to some extent, but word comes from
Steubenville, Mingo and Foliansbee
that additional mills in those places
are resuming work.
Coal and coke conditions continue
to show. improvement. although the
operators are pessimistic about prices.
Over 1000 ovens of the II. c. Frick
Coke Company now are in operation,
the greater part of the output from
these going to the United States Steel
Corporation.
Local commercial conditions have
not changed materially except that
colder weather has stimulated sales
of seasonable merchandise. Whole
sale lines are only fairly active and
collections are irregular. Most manu-
featuring plants in the district are
holding down operations until after
the ending of the inventory period
and the beginning of the new year.

Holiday Buying 80 Per Cent
Less Than That of 1919

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. PAUL. November 2s.-wholesale
and retail trade in this section con-
tinues fairly active and is somewhat
greater in volume than the business
done last year in the similar period.
The volume of holiday buying is about
80 per cent less than that of 1919,
when there was an abnormal selling
period, but it compares quite favor
ably with the volume of bxainess
done in the years preceding the war.
Ffnanciers here declare that this
section still is suffering because of
the low prices paid for farm products.
This, they add. is delaying liquida-
ton of debts by the farmers. They
note an improvement in retail trade,
however. In some localities farmers
are reported to be burning corn for
fuel and in other sections the mer-
chants Of the rural communities are
extending special consideration to the
agricultnrists. At Madelia, Minn., the
merchants are accepting corn in pay
