REFLECT HENDERSON
 AND r. ]. ADAMS ID
 CITY COMMISSION

With practically no opposition. Luke Henderson and Fred Adams were re- elected to the offices they now hold as city commissioners at the city primary election yesterday. There were only 636 votes cast for seven candidates. Luke Henderson led the ticket with total of 315 votes. Fred Adams came a close second with SIP votes in his favor. These were the only two names to appear on the official ballot
 Frank Woods led the list of candi- dates whose names were written in on the ballot. He received four votes. Clifford Maddox scored two votes and a vote each was cast for three other candidates
 The plurality accorded Henderson and Adams at the primaries elects them and saves the city the expense of a general election. Very little in- terest was shown in the election. Polls closed at S o'clock D. m.. and the votes were all counted 30 minutes later.

Spring Carpet Prices
Show Further Drop
New Lists Issued Yesterday
Lower Than Those
of Nav

Declines, rather than advances, were
conspicuous yesterday in the new price
lists issued by leading carpet manufac-
turers for spring, 1922, merchandise.
In the main, prices on administer rugs
and carpets show declines ranging from
to 10 per cent, compared with the last
list prices issued Wiltons remain at
about the same levels as those estab-
lished in May, while the drops
on tapestries and velvets run close to
20 per cent in some cases.
Some companies advanced their
prices slightly in September, following
the Alexander Smiths & Sons Company
auction here, and some readjust,nents
from these prices have been made.
Smiths new price list showed de-
clines Of from to 10 per cent on
administers compared with the com
pany's July list. Tapestries and velvets
dropped as much as 20 per cent in
some cases.
The Bigelow- Hartford Carpet Com
pany's new list places Wiltons at about
the same price as last May with axmin-
sters about 7 per cent down.
sist that the new price levels have
been made on a basis of minimum
profit. One manufacturer stated that
his prices will show little more than
enough to carry interest charges on his
capital investment. So far. as raw
materials are concerned the manufac-
turers feel that an advance is likely
around the first of the year.

Federal Reserve Bulletins
Show High Operations in
Textiles i'm Both Sections:
Observation-Disclosures

Manufacturing in the mill districts of
New England and both manufacturing
and agriculture in the southeast sec
tion of the country show continued i'm
provement, according to the November
bulletins of the Federal Reserve banks
Of Boston and Atlanta.
"The leading industries in New Eng
land" says the Boston bank bulletin.
"are in slightly better condition than
month ago on the whole, and there
certainly is more optimism" The
Atlanta bulletin says: "Fundamental
Reserve district have continued in
some degree the improvement which
began in August"
Reviewing general industries in New
England, the Boston bank asserts that
the Boston wool market was quiet dur
ing October, while mills continued to
operate at about 80 per cent of capacity
Cotton mills maintained about the
same percentage of operation, while the
boot and shoe industry showed
slight let-down. production during Sep
tember falling 202 per cent below that
of August, but running 20.4 ahead of
September, 1920. Shipments were 5.S
per cent heavier than last year, but 1875
per cent less than in August. New or
ders in September, however, were 10
per cent greater than in August al
though 39 per cent under those of Sep
tember, 1920. The paper industry
continued to make substantial progress,
the metal trades are showing more
life, contracts for new construction de-
clined 25 per cent, but unemployment
is lower than for several months.
Retail trade in the New England dis
trict suffered unseasonably warm
weather in September. the volume of
sales in money value of twenty-six
department stores in the section fall
ing SO per cent below last year, but
gaining 17.3 per cent over August. The
gain over August by eight Boston
stores was 22.4 per cent, indicating
that business is better in the larger
cities. Stocks on hand averaged 17.8
per cent less than a year ago, but
gained 1917 per cent over August.
In the Atlanta district retail sales
for September were 22.9 per cent less
than a year ago, but larger than in
August. and were close to the average
monthly sales for the first half of
1919.
Wholesale trade showed n good in
crease over August reaching So per
cent in groceries, 1913 per cent in dry
goods, 1s.2 per cent in hardware, 35.7
per cent in shoes and 142 per cent in
furniture.
Textile manufacturing in this dis
trict," says the bulletin, "is on a full
time basis, and some cotton factories
have found it necessary to increase the
number of working hours per week.

Answer--You have picked the weak
spots in your list. We do not regard
the dividends on either American
Smelters and Refining or American
Sugar preferred as being we'll secured
under present conditions. We would
sell both of them in your place, but
we would not replace them with any
of the stocks you name. If you do, you
are heading for another attack of the
same trouble which has already over
taken you in the cutting off of the div

you to confine your investments for
the present to we'll secured bonds such

1t is rapidly becoming conviction,
according to W. T. Fenton, vice
president of the National Bank of
the Republic, Chicago, in the banks
current monthly business review,
that "prices, within the next six to
twelve months will adjust them
selves on new base which will be
somewhat higher than the 1913
level. There are a number of per-
tinent reasons for this belief, the
most important of which is that
circumstances during the last eight
years have superimposed on the old
base a layer of higher costs of more
or less enduring nature-higher
Federal state and city taxes, higher
customs duties, higher rates of de-
preciation and, finally, higher indus
trial overhead charges per unit of
output because of shorter working
hours"
