the cuts in the prices of motor

and generous proportions, although
it is not expected that the full ef-

made manifest until the New York

tomorrow, is well under way. Ac-
tivity has been quickened somewhat

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 6.-Bankers,
business men and manufacturers
are more optimistic in this section
than at any time for five months.
Collections are improving, whole
salers and jobbers are booking
many belated orders from retailers
and the annual white sales are
stimulating purchases in large
quantities. Buyers have responded
to the cut in prices of mems cloth
ing and dealers have been COM
PEELED to replenish stocks.
Action of the city council in ap-
proving an issue of $4,500,000 in
bonds which will be spent in mu-
nicipal Improvement work will re-
duce unemployment materially here
as work on these projects prob
ably will soon be under way.
Building here has started off with
a rush, projects requiring the ex-
penditure of 100000 having been
approved in the first three busi-
ness days of the year. In addition
work is expected to start soon on
additions to the quarters of two
large financial houses which were
projected in the last few days of
December. Reduction in the price
of coal at the mines has enabled
retail dealers in this section to cut
prices S1.50 a ton
BY J.. u. FINING.
St. Louis, jan 6.-Marked and
permanent improvement has been
noticeable this week in the whole
sale drygoods trade. Orders have
been larger than in any week in
three months and they cover all
kinds of goods. The drygoods in
dustry is the second of the princi-
pal divisions of commerce to estab-
lish prices and conditions as to
what is regarded as a firm and
lasting basis, the shoe. industry hav-
ing effected price stabilization in
October. The price tendency hence
forth is expected to be upward.
There are three outstanding fea-
lures to this stabilized business,
first orders for goods for immediate
delivery are large but are for the
purpose of filling in assorted
stocks; second, buying is still con-
seryative and, third, confidence is
most positive. More visiting mer-
chants are in St. Louis than have
been here in several months an
ali appear to be looking forward
to an exceptionally prosperous
year.

PHI KAPPA PSI GIVES
| |LNNUAL SPRING FORMAL

The spring formal party given las,
night BY the members of the Phi Kappa
Psi fraternity was characterized by sim
plicity in decorations. Spring flowers
palms. ferns and smilax were used on the
lower floor. Opening out from the sun
p.rlor was tiny garden formed by
white lattice-work and hedges. in the
center Of which stood a fountain whose
water bubbled over glowing futurist's
crystal. About the fountain were rustic
garden benches. Creen-shaded lights
we're used.
An embsnkment Of palms and roses
surrounded the nine-piece orchestra. A
feature Of the music was that two pianos
were used.
The third floor Of the chapter house
was converted into a hunters lodge. Bear
skins. rifles, skis, eIks' heads, and Nav
ajo rugs covered the walls. The ceiling
was made Of cedar boughs. At one end
Of the room was a great open fireplace
in front Of which easy chairs were drawn
up. Dinner was served in the lodge. A
huge basket Of American beauty roses
Formed the cen,erpiccc for the L-shsped
table. At each guests plate were the
favors, which were small quill pens in
leather cases bearing the fraternity let
iers in gold.
The programs were brown, embossed
With the fraternity crest in gold. One OF
he most attractive features Of the even.
ing was the balloon dance. Everyone
bad a balloon tied to his ankle and the
sbject was to break all the balloons.

As the pianos crashed into a passage

a parental hand restrained her.
