Mr.. Brooks paper consisted prin-
cipally of a comparison of the work
of the government scientist with the
research investigators of university

Referring briefly to the proposed

hope that scientific bureaus that are

LOW NOVEMBER BUSINESS
Seasonal Reduction in Several Lines
Noted.

Following the spurt in October bust
ness generally slowed down during
November according to a statement
Yesterday by the Department of Com
rnerce. This is partially accounted for.
says the statement, by seasonal re-
duction in certain lines. such as tex
tiles and automobiles. and in other
lines, such as coal and transportation.
by the overstimulation of October
business in the face of the threaten
ed coal strike.
The general level of prices in Mo-
vember showed little change, but a
slight. declining tendency was mani
tested. This was: especially true of
the prices of farm products, which in
most instances declined below their
abnorma1ly low level. Wholesale food
and clothing prices and retail food
also tended towards a lower level.
