Business, Industry and
Finance in the u. S.
Monthly Summary by Federal Re
serve Board November
~, 1922.

Substantial increases of productive
activity are reported by basic indus
tries during October. Due principally
to increased activity in anthracite coal
mining, mineral output was L per
cent larger than in September. Pro-
duction of pig iron and consumption of
cotton were the largest in two years,
The total number of railroad cars
loaded was nearly at maximum, yet
car shortage on November lst was
the largest ever reported.
Increased production in October has
been accompanied by a continued in
crease in the volume of employment,
Average pay per worker was larger in
many industries, due in most cases to
an increase in hours of work. Steel
mills, metal mines and building con-
tractors still report shortage of skill
ed laborers.
Wholesale trade showed compare
lively little change during October. Re-
tail trade continued greater than a

TENDER. Total payments by checks
(debMs to individual accounts) for l40
cities, not including New York, were
IL per cent larger in October than in
September and Is per cent larger than
in October, 1921.
The wholesale price index OF the
United States Bureau of Labor sta
tistics was l54 in Octobrr as compared
with l53 in September and l42 in
October, 1921. Prices of farm pro-
ducts and clothing showed particular
ly large increases during October while
fuel prices continued TO decline.
The increased business activity has
not been reflected in THE movement of
total loans of member banks in lead
ing cities. There were slight increases
in the southern and western districts
and also in New England, but these
increases were more than Offset by re-
auctions in other districts, especially
in New York and Chicago. Rates on
various classes of loans have remained
firm or have shown a slight upward
tendency. Demand and time deposits
both decreased during the four weeks
though, again, western and southern
districts recorded slight increases.

City Plunged Into
Darkness Saturday
Big Cable at Power
Company Burns Out
At Busy Hour.

Saturday evening, right at the
height of the usual busy sales hour
about 7:45 o'clock, electric lights fail
cd when the main line feeder running
into the Caldwell substation of the
Idaho Power company. burned out.
The entire city was plunged into dark
ness and lights were not again avail
able until several hours had elapsed.
Cause of the accident is not known,
according to H. w. Meachem, local
Idaho Power manager, but it is pre-
sumed to have been due to faulty
cable. As temporary remedy, cable
was cut in on the city circuit above
ground, the burned out connection is
laid under the floor of the substation.
Probably week will elapse before
the damage can be repaired.

WEDNESDAY To
BE SALES DAY
FO R CALDWELL
Merchants Cooperate to
Resu IN e Community
Sale Plan; Many Special
Bargains Offered.

Caldwell will resume IT'S community
sale plan Wednesday of this week
Twenty-one cooperating business con-
Germs have widely advertised features
for this particular day through the
newspaper of this contiguous territory.
Newspaper advertising exclusively has
been used to put over" the message
of local merchants.
Each business house is featuring one
article, one specially for the day. Ad-
vertising is so arranged that noncom-
petitivc things are offered. Shoppers
are given exceptional prices by shop
ping"
While lack Of advertising space in
the way this sale has been handled
prohibits advertising more than the
one special allotted to each store, new
ertheless practically all of the coop
Grating concerns are offering many
other things at special prices for This
day.
That the articles featured are real
bargains at the prices Offered is the
assertion of Frank Hollingsworth
secretary of the Retail Merchants as
ISOLATION. Monday, speaking of the
sale, Mr.. Hollingsworth remarked ITO
his own personal knowledge many OF
the advertised specials were actually
being offered below net cost and that
others were priced at cost
Because Of the impending Christmas
holidays and the promised good wea-
Their, predictions are made that the
community sale will prove extremely
popular in the Caldwell trade territory.
Six months advertising contracts have
been signed with most of the cooper
ating concerns, thereby guaranteeing
the continuation of the plan over a
sufficiently long period OF time to
demonstrate its worth.
The underlying idea is not new. It
has been in use IN the middlewest and
west for some time and wherever Civ
en- fair trial has proven to be wor-
thy project. In Caldwell, the idea is
feing fostered and advanced by the
Caldwell Retail Merchants association.

of rather small. dark complexioned
stranger attired in hunting garb. Pre-
Stunning that she was in safe hands,
the prospector paid no further atten-

deer was seen alive.
The double crime caused no little
ripple of excitement here. 1t is re-

investigating phases of the situation
and that some sensational disclosures
are shortly TO be made.

for the city of Washington which shall
be entirely free from party control, to
have direct control of its own fncial
budget, and with secure hncial in
come sufficient to make these schools
worthy of the capital city of the
nation"
Washington schools are neglected,
run down, out of date, have poorly
paid teachers, suffer from overcrowd-
ing, the two platoon system and a
policy of temporizing on the part of
congress, the appropriating power for
Washington's schools. That the chill
dren of the national capital should
have at least as good chance for an
education as is given in a thousand
small but intensely American and
wholly enlightened towns and cities, is
the thought behind the resolution
passed by the N. E. A., and the moral
force behind the demand of the present
Board of Education for money enough
to replace old buildings with new, buy
sufficient books, and pay teachers
enough to keep good ones on the job
of instructing the youth of the ma
tons city.

NO WORD FROM BROTHER

Carl Tyler Monday had not heard
from his brother, w. A. Tyler, a
prominent Astoria business man,
whose property was largely destroyed
in the $l5OO0,OOO fire that swept that
Oregon city last Friday morning. Mr..
Tyler was one of the principal own
ers in the Astoria National bank. A
photograph of the ruined building
featured the first page of the Oregon
ian's story of the conflagration Sat-
urday Mr.. Tyler was also chairman
of civic building committee which
had under construction $22s,O00
hotel This building, however, was not
sufficiently far along that any mater
ial damage was done. Carl Tyler
wired his brother immediately after
hearing Of the fire but presumes that
the message was not delivered.

 Of the counter-revolution trou- bles, none were more acute than those of Brittany, and, in view of the in- fluence it was hoped he would wield in his native province, 1t was pro- posed to Andre-Louis by the Commis- sion of Twelve, in the early days Of the Gfrondin ministry, that he should go thither to combat the unrest.

 Andre-Louis observed the asher ,, pallor that now oyerspread the face of his opponent, " f-t
 T think you be4in to realize, mon. .tsieur, what Philippe de Vilmorir must have felt that day at Gavrillac l.I desired that you should first do so Since that Is accomplished why here, to mike an end"
 He went in with lightning rapidity For q moment his point seemed to !. La Tour dAzyr to be everywhere al once, and then from q low engage ment in siXte, Andre-Louis stretched forward with swift and vigorous ease to lunge in tierce. He drove his point to transf)x his opponent whom. a series of calculated disengages uncovered in that line. But to his arnazement and chasrin La Tour d'Azyr parried the stroke; infinitely more to his chagrin La Tour parried 1t just too late. Had he completely parried it. all would have yet have been well. But strik- ing the blade in the last fraction of a second, the Marquis defected the point from the line of his body, yet not 50 completely but that couple of feet of that hard-driven steel tore through the muscles of his sword arm.
 To the seconds none of these de- tails had been visible. All that they had seen had been a swift whirl Of flashing blades, and then Andre Louis stretched almost to the ground in an upward lunge that had pierced the Marquis right arm just below the shoulder.
 The sword fell from the suddenly relaxed grip of La Tour d'Azyrs fin gers, which had been rendered pow erless, and he stood now disarmed, his lip in his teeth, his face white, his chest heaving, before his opponent. who had at once recovered. With the blood-tinged top of his sword rest ing on the ground, Andre-Louis sur veyed him grimly, as we survey the prey that through our own c!umsi- ness has escaped us at the last moment.
 In the Assembly and in the news papers this might be hailed as an- other victory for the Paladin of the Third Estate; only himself could
