MUCH ACTIVITY IN
MEMS FURNISHINGS
Clothing Houses in Wilmington
Show Increase in Volume
Of Business.

Business among the clothing estab-
lishments and haberdashery shops is far
in advance this fall Of the same period
in 1921. 4 survey among the clothing
stores shows that the volume OF trade
is at last 20 per cent better than twelve
months ago.
Feeling the effect of more employ
ment, the men, especially the younger
generation, are buying better made
goods. OF finer material, than they did
a year ago. While more expensive mer-
chandise is being demanded, il is that
class OF goods which comprises the ne
cessities, rather than luXuries, and the
reason for buying the higher priced
articles apparently is 10 effect economy
by selecting the kind of articles that will
last longer. Sales of suits and overcoats
together are not as frequent as during
war times when money was plentiful.
The most popular price OF mems suits
is $50 and the average price on lower
grades is $40. For the best quality the
percentage is about evenly divided
between $40 and $50.
Because of advertising campaigns, the
suits, with two pairs of trousers, are IN
popular demand But the buyer, in Sc
iecting his clothing and overcoats, is,
as rule, taking the better quality and is
willing to pay higher but fair price
for the article. Soft fabrics are the
most popular.

DELAWARE APPLE CO..
IS BIG ACHIEVEMENT
Orchard, in Sussex County, Has
rs, 900 Trees and Covers
Over 100 Acres.

The Equitable Trust Co. Monthly
prints the following:
Among the many examples OF what Is
possible Of achievement by the employ
ment of big cooperative efforts is the
apple orchard Of the Delaware Apple Co.
in Sussex county The group of men who
conceived the idea of this project carly
realized that among the things vitality
necessary for the development of a
dependable and permanent prosperity
for the fruit growers OF Sussex, was the
necessity of careful, constructive plan
ming for the future. As direct result
Of their skillful culture and farsighted
policy in general, the orchard is now
the largest in the State. Incidentally,
it is interesting to note that according
to the latest statistics, Delaware, with an
average of 54S apple trees to the square
mile, outranks every other State in the
Union
1t is reported that the holdings Of
the Delaware Apple Co. comprise ], 100
acres, 1000 Of which are devoted to
apples and the remaining 100 acres to
woodland. The apple trees, which num-
Der 10000 range in age from 10 to IL
years and arc bearing their first crop
this year Considerable damage was
caused by the killing frosts Of the early
spring, and as n result but 25 thousand
bushels will be realized. Under ordinary
conditions, however, it is estimated that
from 800 to 400 thousand bushels would
be reasonable yield, or about bushels
to the tree.
During the present season the trees
have been cultured and sprayed six
times, which growers will at once recog-
nize as reaching the highest apple cul-
ture known to science.
The company has recently been com
pletely re-organized with capital
stock of S30O,0OOOO. The president
is Josiah Marvel, former resident of
Sussex and prominent Wilmington
attorney. II. c. Zines, treasurer Of Lit
Brothers, in Philadelphia, is the treasurer
Roland Howe, secretary Of the VIM.
Cramp Shipbuilding Company, is the
secretary. The directors include II
Ridgely Harrington, well known as the
apple king, and Professor Charles A.
McCue of the University of Delaware
The entire orchard is under the capable
management of Oliver A. Newton, OF
Bridgeville, Delaware.

FLOUR|SH|NG INDUSTRY
James Watson 4 Sons One OF
Oldest Concerns of Kind
in the City.

Despite the fact TINT they are now

most concerns engaged in building truck

3O14 Market street. designers and build
crs of high grade truck bodies is exceed

John W. Watson, one Of the members
of the firm,in an interview with an Every
Evening reporter this morning, said that
though winter WAS usually considered
as very dull, his plant WAS active. He
said he was greatly pleased with the
situation at the present time, adding
that the working force Of the shop was
increased last> week.
The firm of James Watson and Sons
WAS established in 1892. At that time
the northeast corner of Fourteenth and
Market streets was not built up. 1t was
nothing but huge sand hole, and large
buttonwood tree stood at the corner.
Mr.. Watson built up the whole corner

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
GOOD, B. & 0. REPORTS
Shopmen's Strike and Coal Sit
uation Are Reflected in Nine
Months Statement.

Tho statement of net railway operat-
ing income for September and the nine
months Just issued by the Baltimore q
Ohio Railroad Co, reflects the severe
losses incident to the shopmen's strike,
coupled with the abnormal situation IN
the bituminous coal fields, where activl-
ties were largely suspended from April
TO September, inclusive. The coal sltua-
ton had become so critical that upon the
resumption of operations by the mines
il was essential that everything possible
be undertaken TO expedite the move
ment of coal and this was done during
August and September, nccessitatlng
the diversion of large tonnage OF high
class traffic with consequent lcsscned

The operations for the first six
months of the year, statement issued

BUSINESS REVIVAL IS
EVIDENT GENERALLY
Reports From All Over the Coun-
try Are Decidedly
Encouraging.

That business generally continues TO
improve is evident from reports received
from oil over the country. The revival
is not confined to any single geographi-
col section, but extends in varying de-
grees, to all parts OF the country, and
records Of bank clenrings, commercial
failures, car loadings and other indices
reflect the improvement.
Activity in textile markets is steadily
broadening in scope, and the rise of
prices continues. Bouyant conditions
are especially noticeable in the cotton
goods division, with demands from atuo-
mobile interests n prominent feature.
Current purchasing is not only to cover
immediate and nearby requirements, but
extends we'll into the future, and not a
few mills are engaged for several months
ahead.
No lcssening of the strength of hide
markets has been witnessed, despite
successive weeks Of price advances. The
rise has been more pronounced in some
departments than in others, but all
descriptions of rayw material are in n
strong position, and trading last week in

than 100000 hides
