has been sustaining from buying
the January review Of retail tr"de,
now completed by the National Re-
tail Dry Goods Association. demon
strates that, for months past. the
American people have been buying
more. at lower prices-have. in fact.
been living much more generously.
1890
During November. 1921. retail trade
fell Off 1877 per cent in gross value
as compared with November, 1920,
but prices declined to far greater ex-
tent. in typical dry goods staples
more than one-third and in many
other instances as much as 40 per
cent. The 1871 per cent reduction in
gross value Of sales. taken in con-
nection with the very much greater
reduction in merchandise prices. rep
resents nearly SO per cent more than
the volume OF goods purchased by
the consumer for November. 1891, as
compared with November. 1920.
This very great increase in con-
sumption progressed further during
December. when retail stores in many
large centers of population reported
sales value as well as sales volume
in excess of December. 1920, and few
stores anywhere in the United States
experienced a demand smaller than
that Of December, 1920.
Figures Of Interest.
Figures of exceptional interest have
been assembled in connection with
the distribution of the gross value of
retail trade 1er November. 1921. as
compared with that of November,
1918. when public extravaganza I'm cX-
penditure was at it's height. The
decline in gross value Of sales for
November, 1921. as compared with
November. 1919, for 145 selected de-
partment stores throughout the United
States was 4.5 per cent, while the
four leading mail order houses suf-
fered decrease of 63.8 per cent
The relatively slight decrease in
gross sales value sustained by the
department stores is attributed to
their facilities for showing the goods,
their courageous adherence to the
policy of extensive advertising. and
their very general response. even at
the cost of large direct losses. to the
popular demand for lowered prices.
q policy which resulted in public
confidence and very marked good will
The astounding decline in mail order
trade is attributed to inherent in
ability to show goods, combined with
restriction of purchasing power in
rural districts.
The simple explanation of the ex-
tremely large volume of merchandise
purchased by the American people,
during the period when the outcry
against high prices was loudest, ap-
pears to be that in practice the pub
lie fully realized the extent of price
reductions and bought to the extent
OF Its purchasing capacity.

DRY GOODS QUIET.

NEW YORK, January il Especially.
The week end dry goods market
showed little activity. rejecting to
some extent the quiet which prevailed
in the market for raw cotton. There
was evident a slight softening in
some constructions, but the market
for southern "a b. sos, 5.s5 yard. was
still considered around 8R.
Representatives of large jobbers are
urging that prices be named on cot

feet on the other lines Of goods. Bur-

ITO Oh OeCroIL nurlGrSs
1t seems that it takes at least three
enemy fingers to keep the Yankees
from battering down the confines Of
the baseball parks on the junior circuit.
The trio that absorbed the shattering
shock of fifteen hits and eleven runs
to-day were Pillette, johnson and Cole.
Seven Of the Yankee blows were for
extra bases. and the greatest of these
was the twentieth home run Of the sea-
son by G. Herman Ruth, who caressed
one Of Johnson's slants daintily in the
sixth inning and waited the ball into
the right field beachers.
The Bambino had single, double
and homer in FIVE times up, but this
was just fair hitting when compared
with what Sir Walter Pipp is doing to
take all the JOY out Of life for opposing
pitchers. Pipp, the picker, pounded
out three doubles and single in four
times up, drove in four runs, and
scored another himself. The plethora
of two-baggers was due to the ground
rules that were in force on account of
the fringe of excited fans that sur
rounded the outheld.
Pillette Batted Out of Box
Bush had the Tigers jumping through
the hoop all through the afternoon.
The six runs scored against Bullet Joe
were allowed at times when the Hug
men were far in the lead, and the
twirler was just trying to keep the
jungle cats from getting too obstrep-
erous. Pillette was pounded for five
hits and seven runs in the first two
innings, and concluded it was not his
day.
The Yanks prodded the jungle cats
for q pair of tallies in the first inning.
Pillette's lZv toss to first gave Dugan
a life, and the big Bambino pounded a
long liner over Cobb's head that was
held to two-bagger by ground rules
only. Pipp then doubled into the
crowd, scoring both runners. The sec
ond session was even more Of success
in the animal tanning business. A
scratch hit by Bush, a walk TO Witt,
and short single by the Babe after
Dugan had forced Bullet Joe, filed the
bases.
Cobb was wild, but Pillette was
wilder and four balls TO Wally Pipp
forced Witt across the pan. Schang

burlelgh mad one-run Lead when
he started pitching in the fourth, but
here he went to pieces. There were
runners on first and third and a pop
fly fell safe in short right field Grimes
thought the ball should have been
caught and he scowled at his mates.
He lost all his effectiveness, the Reds
continued to hit and when Daubert
hit home run to deep center field it
was to the showers for Burleigh. Six
runs had crossed the plate and then as
parting shot Grimes threw the ball
against the grand stand.
The Robins tried hard to undo the
sins of their pitcher, but in vain. They
managed to score two runs in the
eighth, but Frank Keck, of the Reds,
would let them get no further and
those six runs off Grimes proved
enough to win
Mamaux relieved Grimes and did
noble work for four innings and Shriv-
er pitched the ninth, after Ruether
had pinch singled for Mamaux Shriver
also pitched well, but while the Robin
twirlers were doing piece work Keck
went the route for Cincinnati and con-
tinued firm to the end. Brooklyn had
ninth, but Keck turned them away
without a run.
Reds Play SensationaIly
The Red pitcher received sensational
support, while Olson was the only
Robin to err. The Robins, however,
made no fielding errors in that wild
fourth inning. The breaks were against
Grimes and he refused to take mis-
fortune graciously.
Grimes looked good in the first three
innings and so did the Robins one run
in the second, as Keck also gave evil
dence of being in good form. Wheat
started the Robins to that run with a
single to right and went to third
when the ball went through Harper.
Schmandt scored his captain with a
single to center.
Burleigh's effectiveness was lost with
the arrival of the fourth inning. Sim
giles by Fonseca Pinelli, Caveney and
Wingo, felder's choice, sacrifice fy
and Daubert's homer did the damage
and Burleigh went back for repairs.
The last two Brooklyn runs were
scored in the eighth. High singled,
Miller doubled and Ruether scored both
runners with single to center.
