FINANCE AND TRADE NOTES.

A somewhat different buying tend
ency is said to characterize the policy
of clothing buyers now in the market.
While prices have been the governing
factor in the placing of orders. sew
eral manufacturers say this tendency
is gradually giving way to merchan-
disc that has a quality appeal as well
as a price appeal.
A novel cigarette case has a device
which automatically pushes out the
cigarette by the pressing OF button.
A cigarette can be taken from the
case without removal of the holder
from the pocket.
The market for medicinal chemicals
attracted some orders in January
which were larger than in previous
months, but low prices for imported
goods and shading by dealers have
shaken the confidence of buyers. who
still hesitate to cover future needs.
Variation Of demand in different
sections Of the country is shown in
the report of a leather goods dealer
in from the road. Vanity cases in
black leather. with gold trimmings,
were predominant sellers on the Pa

NEW YORK, February "A basis
of confidence that prices of farm prod

fore the coming harvest, the bank re-
marks upon the strong statistical posi-
tion of wheat, the prospect of reducing
the heavy surplus of cotton, the i'm

BY RALPH SMITH.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ATLANTA, February 3.-Basic con-
ditions here are gradually improving
and bankers and business men see a
slow but certain upturn n all lines as
compared with conditions here a year
ago. Allowing for natural seasonal re-
cessions. the situation is on sounder
basis throughout the southeast. The
rural districts are still slow to recover
from the depression. but their recov
cry. II slow, is none the less certain.
according to local bankers.
Frozen credits are blamed for the
situation in the country districts and
hope is expressed that the farm loan
bank will be able to provide sufficient
help to enable the small communities
to get on their feet. Building permits
issued here last month passed the mil
lion-doliar mark. This is the best rec
ord made in any January in ten years.
More homes were started than in any
month the city ever has known.

Keen Interest in Detroit in
Lincoln Motor Assets Sale
BY PHIL 8. HANNA.
Special Dispatch to Tie Star.

Special Dispatch to Tie Star.
DETROIT, February 3.-Attention
of nearly every business man in De-
troit is centered on the sale tomor-
row of the assets of the Lincoln
Motor Company. All whose business
would be benefited by increase of
local employment are hoping that
Henry Ford will be the successful
bidder. Word has leaked down
through the Ford offices that Mr..
Ford plans to loosen his purse strings
and spend large sums to put the Lin
coin car in the forefront Of the au-
tomobile market if he gains control.
In addition to selling the Lincoln
at a popular price. he plans. it is
stated, to produce 5000 or 5000 cars
the first year. which will mean an
outlay for pay rolls and materials
of from $15.000,000 to $18,000,000.
Other manufacturers. however, do
not view Ford's acquisition of the
Lincoln assets with such pleasant
anticipations as the merchants Many
plants are having a struggle to meet
recurring waves of lower prices. and
it is felt that it Ford gets into the
high-grade car business he will drive
prices down so fast that only few
strong companies can survive. In
this event, they point out, Detroit's
gains from increased Ford operations
may be Offset by the passing of
smaller concerns. The employers
association reports an increase in
employment of 1.4S4 men this week.
