Retail Dry Goods Gains,

A further gain in retail dry goods
trade as the holiday period ap-
proaches contrasts with a quieter
situation in primary channels,
where inventorying is in progress.
The sharp irregularities which now
appear are partly due to seasonal
influences, but some of the uneven
ness of conditions also results from
price uncertainties and other fac
tors. Continuance of an erratic
price movement in raw cotton Is
unsettling. and the course of fabric
markets lacks uniformity. Despite
these phases, however. leading
merchants are of the opinion that
the outlook In various respects is
much brighteypthan was the case
year ago. The rise In raw silk,
which has recently gathered con-
siderable momentum, continues.
while domestic wool prices arc
firmer. On the other hand. foreign
woods have been declining. and bur-
laps have also yielded.

Especial Correspondence Of The washingten
Herald and the New York Evening Psst.)
ST. LOUIS, Dec. As one trav-
els over the country he is struck
by many things that are appar-
entity at variance with all current
statistics of the present moderate
volume of business. The large de-
partment stores in the great cities
seem to be full of shoppers. and
there are few outward and visible
signs OF that unemployment which
figures seem to indicate as unduly
large.
Surface indications tell you moth
ing OF this unless you 60 out into
the residential districts and learn

going from door to door trying to
peddle all manner OF things, hoping
thereby to earn a few scant dol
lars. Also one learns in many
cities that street car revenues
have much decreased, since many
are walking who formerly rode. 1t
becomes evident that passing ~ap-
pearances are poor things to judge
by and that statistics are mislead-
ing unless they cover all phases of
the subject under consideration.
Considerable Building Activity.
In the country districts more
scattered construction is going on
than seems possible under present
conditions of the high cost of la
Dor and material. while residen-
tial buildings lead in number. nat
urally so because of the present
housing situation. there is an ex-
ceedingly large proportion of
works and utilities.
Many great State universities,
both in the South and West. have
received large appropriations for
building purposes. Many little en-
dowed colleges that one never
heard of before have also added
much to their endowment funds
(mostly for building purposes) by
strenuous and usually successful
subscription campaigns.
Then everywhere, practically
without exception. there are good
roads with hard surface being con-
structed as the results of bond is
sues, for which States, counties
and municipalities gladly tax
themselves.
One gets another slant, rather
an Illuminating one, by talking
with retailers in small country
towns. Unless there is some local
industry, a factory or a mine in
operation the distribution business
of the town depends almost en-
tirely on the price of farm prod
ucts. A town, for instance, in the
cotton belt is apt to be doing
somewhat better proportionately
than one where corn and livestock
are the principal sources of cash

Hides Stronger.

The activity which has recently
featured the hide trade continues
undated. with further price ad-
vances established. Business OF
noteworthy proportions has been
effected in both domestic packer
and River Plate frigorifico stock,
and fully $4,000 hides were with
drawn from the market here in a
single day this week. With I
present eager demand, packers ap-
pear to be able to keep closely
sold up. and somewhat ahead of
kill. Two large shoe manufactur-
ing and leather concerns have
taken che bulk of the offerings,
and II is evident that the. changed
trend of footwear and leather buy
ing, with the cali centering on the
more moderate-priced goods, is
having a decided influence in hide
circles. As heretofore, calfskins
provide an exception to the activ-
ity prevailing elsewhere, and low
er prices in francs were recorded
at the monthly Paris auctions.

Further Increase in Failures.

An increase of about 16 per cent
in number of commercial failures
last month followed a rise Of SINH
lar proportions in October. Such
a trend at this period is not I'M
usual, hve of the preceding ten
years having disclosed more de-
faults in November than In Octo-
Der, and the increase last year ap-
proximated IA per cent. A fea-
ture of the present returns is the
fact that the $53,46s.s39 of indebt-
edness. although much above the
monthly average, is little in excess
of the total for October, when 275
fewer insolvencies were reported.
While failures for 100000 or more
in each instance occurred more
frequently last month than Octo-
Der, yet the average of liabilities
of all defaults was lower. being
about $4,000 less. When current
Insolvency statistics are compared
with those of earlier years. 1t is
important to remember that the

ment have been enhanced by the

The case just decided was an ap-
peal from lower Court DEGREES re-
fusing an injunction sought by
Charles w. Smith, a stakeholder in
the Kansas City Title and Trust
Company, to restrain that institu-
tion from investing it's funds in the
securities of the land banks. The
contention was made that the farm
loan act was invalid as Congress
had neither the authority under
the Constitution to establish banks
nor to exempt their securities from
State taxation.
The Court, in a practically
unanimous opinion, upheld the au-
thOrity Of the Government in both
instances. The power to designate
fiscal agencies has been conceded
to Congress since the days Of Chief
Justice Marshall, the opinion held

Commissioner Lobdell announc-

the hundreds of millions of dollars

approved by the board and which
were held up pending the Court s
decision.
