 Pick On Huggins?

The Yankee skipper does only fair share of kicking against decisions he thinks are against rhyme and reason. and he never is rowdy or profane. Evidently his admonishing fore1nger and quiet words contain a kick like the homiest home brew, judging from the reaction of the ar biterS.

will say:
Even with abatement of buying in
some quarters. the improving tenden-
c1eS in business remain sharply defin-
ed. Fluctuations in volume of transact
tons are naturally to be expected, and
contraction of demand in certain lines
this week does not mean that progress
has suddenly halted. Recent purchas-
ing has run beyond precedent in spe-
cial instances and has been large in
many cases. and some requirements are
so we'll covered for the present that
further movements are temporarily de-
ferred. The Sold-up position of various
manufacturers, however. prec ludes the
acceptance of additional orders for
early delivery, lot few interests be
ing engaged several months ahead and
Withdrawing offerings for a time. With
wider recognition of the bettermont
in conditions a general strengthening
of sentiment is witnessed. and dis
position to expand operations on that
conservative basis has succeeded the
policy of hesitation and waiting.
Where prices had risen sharply because
of strike influences. as in fuel and
iron and steel. reactionary trend has
lately developed. with some buyers
now holding off to sec how far the re-
adjustment will carry.
Tho main price movement. however,
continues Enthusiastically upward.

to an official estimate. A part of this
shortage has been made up. War
time rent levels are beginning to dis
appear in some section of the country,
But the annual fall decline in con-
struction is beginning. And the de-
mand for new dwellings and apart

Building contractors and real estate
operators in practically all sections are
planning operations for 1928 larger

Wholesale prices of materials are
expected to decline somewhat during
the winter months. But a general ad-
vance will begin again in February

predicted. in anticipa ton of the early
