BUSINESS GAINS ALL OVER q. s
Improycmen& nue. 10 Better Situ-
ntion, Says Federal Heport.
Special Despatch to THE New YosK HEaALn
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. g., Dec. Z.

Business Improvement as result OF
an improved banking situation and rela-
tive stability of prices was predicted
to-day by the Commerce Department.
The Department issued survey of busi-
ness conditions over tho United States
which revealed better industrial and
commercial fields. The survey was
based on reports from selected industries
In October.
The most serious drawback In the
present business situation. the Depart
meut said, was the low price of agri-
cultural products and consequent de-
creased buying power of the farmers.
Substantial increases In production OF
pig iron steel. bituminous coal and coke
and smaller relative Increases In ce-
ment. anthracite coal and wheat -four
and In the consumption of cotton By
mills was noted by the Departments
observers.
With tho exception of metals. quan-
tative production Of important indus
tries Is as great or greater than before
the war, the report stated. Production
of bituminous coal. petroleum, wheat
-four oleomargarine. cigarettes. cement.
by products, coke and cotton and wool
products are all shown to be greater
than in 1918.

Shoe Market Inactive.

A general slump throughout the staple
shoe market is reported by manufac-
turers and retailers, only novelties and
more fancy dress wear experiencing a
fair demand. Dealers are at loss to
explain the lack of demand in the local
market. 1t rs pointed out that New
York enjoys practically the cheapest
market for shoes in the United States,
but sales in this city are reported as
below those of other sections of the
country. A reason given by a large
dealer Is that the consumer Is giving
his attention to holiday purchases al
the moment and naturally shoes do
not enter into his list of gifts. Prices
of shoes are said to be at practically
pre-war level, the retailer making a
minimum of profit on all sales.

An international mixup aboard the

brides from the vicinity of Coblenz.

their fingers from the coiffures Of the
German brides. Thirty-six non-com
batant Germans had babies who joined
in all the choruses
The brides had avoided personal con-
flict until near the end of the trip, when
the German girls sang the "Wacht am
Rhein" and the French brides responded
with the "Marseillaise." Then the mix
up began and the American bridegrooms
separated the belligerents and told them
the only song they could warble on a
anthem. which all had heard frequently
at Coblenz. They knew the words about
as we'll as the babies or the average
American citizen. but they came in
great with their La-las! while the band
helped to swell the volume Of sound.
Thereafter life aboard was fairly har-
monious.
The Cantigny brought the first con-
tingent Of 6o2 soldiers. who were trans
ferred to Fort Slocum. and SOC bodies

Competitor for Gingham.

spring and summer wear in womens
and children's dresses is foreshadowed
in Fruit of the Loom percale being
introduced on the market. That par
ticular cloth is somewhat heavier in
texture than the average gingham, but
it Is said to have the advantage in
having a duplicate pattern and faster
colors. The percale is being made UP
in skirting material to retail at popular
prices, and indications point to an &C
tive demand for it. The manufacture
of Fruit of the Loom percale is a direct
result of a general demand not only for
lower prices but for better quality. The
cost of this cloth is said to be lower
than the price for the best gingham.

BUSINESS NOTES
AND TRADE NEWS
Many Advance Orders for Cling
hams-Fur Prices Drop
Silk Shirts Gain.

Following the publication of Amory,
Broune & Co.'s tentative gingham price
list on Monday that firm reports receiv-
ing many kilograms from firms all over
the country for advanced shipment of
goods thereon. The response is said to
be beyond expectations, so per cent. of
the firms sending orders asking for
larger shipments than mills will be able
to produce. The great number of these
orders indicate, according to jobbers. a
record breaking season. 1t is not ex-
pected that other houses generally win
give out prices until late in January or
early in February.
