to go into the business of furnishing
appliances for the use of electric cur
rent, however. Ridgway had a bill
pending which provided that the city
might sell electric irons and coasters
and fans, to use the current which the
city plant furnishes.
Some of the more vigorous oppo-
nents of municipal ownership didn't
take kindly to it at all. And Senator
Coleman, who is not radical on such
question. thought that the idea of the
city entering the retail business
smacked of sovietism.
No Action on Salary Bill.
One of Ridgway's bills. affecting the
salaries of city waterworks superin-
tendents, was passed over and retained
its position on the calendar, because
there is contemplated the passage of
measures which will permit increases

Public Again Demanding Mer.
chandise, Declare Retailers.

New York, Feb. 3.-Buying of mer-
chandise in New York, which began
last month, after long period of
stagnation, is steadily increasing,
dealers and credit men here said to-
day.
Among the latest arrivals were
twenty-three buyers for one depart
ment store in Portland, Ore. who said
they had come to place orders for
$500 worth of goods.
Sterilization of wholesale prices at
the lowest levels in years, together
with the movement of surplus stock
from retailers shelves, were given as
the chief factors in bringing about the
buying wave.
3 Shelves Are Cleaned
zChicagos Feb. 3.-Retail merchants
have cleaned their shelves of surplus
stocks and have again begun to buy
heavily in preparation for an active
buying season this spring, according to
leading wholesale drygoods men here
today.
This means, according to ]. V. Far
well. president of J. v. Farwell COM
pany. that prosperity has returned.
when it became apparent that the
public would not purchase merchan-
disc because of high prices, retailers
curtailed buying" said Farwen. Now
they are buying what they want and
desire a great deal, which indicates a
return of consuming power"
The wholesale buying season which
started to become active early this
week. is featured by the arrivals of
thousands of retailers who report that
they expect to do a good business this
wear.

senate went early into>a committee Of
the whole, and spent the greater part
OF the afternoon considering bills
which are of interest chiefly to the
city at the mouth of the Kaw.
Most of the bills dealt with the pay
or city employees and officials, and
provided power for the city commits
sioners to increase that pay if they
wish. Senator RidgWay explained to
the senate that Kansas City, Kan, was
compelled to pay more money to set
efficient men, than they had formerly
PAID and which. under the existing
laws, they were entitled to paw.
The senate turned a deaf ear to The
suggestion that the city be permitted

Slight amendments were made in the
committee on livestock which drew up
the bill and because the phrasing of
the bill calls for supervision of the
industry by the court of industrial
relations and because there may be
no court of industrial relations when
this present session is ended, the pro-
viso that there may be further amend
