BOSTON, January 23.-While on the
surface general business conditions
in New England show little change
this week, it Is an undeniable fact
that sentiment is improving. Manu-
featuring has kept up steadily at
about the same high rate which was
attained last fall, and this gives rise
to the hope that spring will see de-
cided increase in activity. The federal
reserve bank here has received statis-
tics from the leading Boston depart
ment stores which show that their
sales in December and early this year
not only surpassed those of the two
years, but were the largest on record.
Manufacturers are finding 1t pos
sible gradually to reduce costs owing
to wage cuts and lower prices for
coal. Bituminous coal Is particularly
cheap and In large supply in New
England. Cotton mills are finding it
imperative to reduce wages where
they come into competition with
southern mills. Woolen manufactur-
ers are worried mainly over where
they are to get raw wool. as there is
an actual shortage in this market at
the present time.
The shoe business is gradually be-
down. The demand for leather is
much better. although hide prices
have gone up much more rapidly than
leather, so that leather manufacturers
are finding it hard to operate at
profit.

GEN. PERSHING DECLINES
TO ACCEPT D. S. C. HONOR
Secretary Weeks Calls Of "sur-

Generals Wishes.

Gen. Pershing declined today to ac-
cept a distinguished service cross
voted him by the Army board of
awards and which Secretary Weeks
had planned to bestow on him at
surprise party" arranged to take
place in the War Secretary's office.
The general discovered the secret
of the party and went Immediately
to Mr.. Weeks house. where the lat
ter was at lunch, to declare his un-
deservedneSs of the honor.
Secretary Weeks then decided that
the generals wishes should be re-
spected and Cancelled his plans for
the party.
Gen. Pershing declined the award of
the medal OF honor for the same ex-
ploit concerned in today's preSenta-
tion. This was an incident occurring
when he was a brigadier general in
the Philippine Islands in 1913. The
medal. which was to have been
awarded him today was in substitute
for the medal of honor and was voted
by the board in the belief that it was
deserved and probably would be ac-
ceptable, even though the higher
award had been firmly declined.

FORT WORTH. Tex, January 23-
A severe storm with snow. sleet and
rain has turned the tide in favor Of the
grain grower in this section, and it is
now estimated that IS per cent Of the
normal wheat yield is above ground and
the condition Of the crop as whole
is promising. The storm served. how
ever. to check retail business In this
section slightly. Thirty dayS ago the
greater part Of the Texas wheat was
unsprouted due to drought.
Another factor in favor Of the farmer
is the absence of the green bug. In
states north Of Texas this insect is
raising havoc. but it has not appeared
this year and experts say the danger
period is now past. The oats acreage
is only about so per cent of normal this
year. At planting time last fall the
ground was too dry to receive the seed
or sprout it.

GLOVE FASHION DICTATIoN

Ne" YORK, January a3.-The
great question as to who has the
greater influence over glove fashions
shoes or hose, is one of the disturb
ms questions in the glove market
The disturbance is caused by tho fact
that styles for shoes and hose are
widely divergent and glove manufac-
turers are unable to determine which
article of merchandise will predomi-
nate in the spring fashions. In shoes
black is steadily gaining in popu-
larlty. In hosiery there is a tendency
toward light shades. The affinity of
glove and shoe fashions in Paris is
very marked and practically all black
gloves and black shoes almost invari-
ably are worn together.

NEW YORK, January 23.-The ten
dency of the man with small capital to

aand get out of the production line of
industry is believed to be a chief cause
for many failures going through the
courts 1t is apparent. according to
Ia rger retailers. that many small mer-
chants are unable to withstand the eco
nomlc pressure against them and the
belief that when that class shall be
eliminated much of the present indus
trial depression will cease to exist is
general. 1t is especially noticeable, ac-
