Northwest Retail Traders
Find in Stock Clearing Loss
BY PAUL c. HEDRICK.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SEATTLE, February 9.-The retail
merchants Of the northwest are
cleaning house." and in some cases
the process Is q painful one. For ex-
ample, it is said that some dealers
have taken suits and overcoats which
sold at $65 at the peak Of the war
boom, cut them to approximate cost
$40-and now are offering them at
$39.75. The local consumer, merchants
say, looks only to value when he
spends his dollar.
Failures, however. have not been
numerous in this section. Where mer-
chants have been financially embar-
raised bankruptcy costs have been
eliminated by cooperation between
creditors for the purpose OF saving
the credit OF the distressed firm and
distributing the loan.
Wholesale trade IL active in dry
goods. Ginghams are scarce and in
good demand. One Of the wholesale
houses reports an increased demand
for silks. Heavy SHOWS in the noun
tains Of western Washington and
Oregon have cut down Ar and cedar
log production: The visible supply Of
logs in the water now is only about
100, 100000 feet, whereas the normal
supply at this season is 250,000, 600

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, February o.
Severe loss has been sustained by
farmers in this section through the
lack of moisture since January 1. The
condition of the wheat crop has suf-
fered materially, and it is estimated
that drought has ruined 100000
acres of wheat in Kansas alone. In
other lines, however, business is
progressing satisfactorily. A build
ing boom is forecast for spring, and
this forecast is supported by the
large numbers attending the better
home and building exposition being
held by the Kansas City Real Estate
Board this week.
Automobile dealers are looking for.
ward to much increased business
after the auto show next week. There
has been steady business improve
ment in the mid-continent oil fields,
which has been aided by the increase
Of l cent gallon in the price of
gasoline. A war between bread
dealers has brought the scent loaf
back to Kansas City.
Country merchants are buying in
small lots. Sales are brisk in dry
goods, millinery and notions. but
orders are conservative and most of
them for nearby delivery.
