pers are far more intent this season
on making their money go far, rather

beginning to slow down for the usual
year-end inventory. There was con-
siderable disappointment in this sec
ton when the untitled tonnage report
Of the United States Steel Corpora
tion showed a small decrease for No

coming business in some lines was
less than production. but it had been
thought that the average was better
than was indicated. However. current
pay rolls are larger than those Of Oc-
tober, and this is helping to stimu-
late retail trade. which has also been
aided by a change in weather condi-
tionS Christmas trade is now pro-
crossing at normal volume.
Settlement of the bricklayers' wage
scale controversy is expected to result
in enlarged plans for spring building

of the building trades now have sign
ed agreements which give builders
basis for cost calculations. Building
permits issued last week totaled 1928.

day business would be large because
savings deposits in this section are
larger than they were a year ago.
