of the great storm; the soft coal dis
trict, suffering from the strike; certain
parts of New England, tied up by labor
disputes, and one or two agricultural
communities where weather conditions
have been unfavorable.
In the steel districts, where year ago
men were being laid off, the rolls and
furnaces are turning out extraordinary
tonnages. The automobile factories are
hustling to meet present and future
demand both for foreign and domestic
trade The building industry is rush
ing projects to completion in advance
of Winter weather. All these factors
are bringing increased orders to pro-
ducerS of raw materials and to retailers.
The coal men are picking up an odd
dime or two of profits, owing to the
approach of Winter. The anthracite
producers are finding dollars where the
bituminous men are scrambling for
dimes, however. The oil industry is still
far from satisfactory, but it is far better
than it was and exploitation is now in
progress The lumber producers have
ceased to wonder at the fact that they
are "out of the woods" and are accept
ing a moderate degree of prosperity as
a regular thing rather than as an inter-
Jude in depression. The cement manu-
facturers are burdened by excessive pro-
duction, but see consumption rapidly
growing up toward mill capacity.
There has been a lull in the demand
for agricultural machinery, but this is
usual at this time of year. If many of
the machinery dealers failed to sell an
other tractor, they still would show
profits above those of 1927. The rubber
manufacturers are going strong, but

CROP OUTLOOK BRIGHT
ON EASTERN SEAB0ARD

The crop season is rounding on well
in the Eastern states. There was some
frost injury to the tomato crop around
the first of the month and consider
able damage to late potatoes in Ken
/ lucky. Not much complaint OF potato
rot has been heard lately. The weather
is still too dry in the ONO valley
/ and much of the Western area. Ship
ments of fruits and vegetables are at
about the height of the year, filling
some 5000 cars each week day, says
| the report of the Bureau of Agricul-
cultural Economics of the Department
of Agriculture.
Potato shipments continue at the
rate of fully 1000 cars daily, which is
| not far from the volume moving year
ago. Most Eastern sections are con-
| siderabiy behind their last seasons to-
| tai to date, owing to late start and
unsatisfactory market condition. Prices
| in early october show some declines
| of to 10 cents, but the general mar
ket position is fairly steady. Shipping
point prices also made declines in
| some lines of potatoes, amounting to
| 5 cents and sometimes 10 cents. New
Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania and
Maine stock ranged 81 Is to $1.40 per
| 100 pounds in the cities. Prices were
| firm in New Jersey producing sections
at $105 to $110.
Onion markets have shown less SEN
sational action so far this month, but
prices have held firmly, ranging $3.25
to S375 per 100 pounds in consuming
markets for most of the yellow stock.
Car load shipments of cabbage run
from $50 to 200 daily. Supplies are
moderate in Eastern markets, demand
| fair. and prices we'll maintained at a
range of $38 to $45 per ton for domes-
| tic stock and SAB to $50 for Danish
| type.
| About one-half of the so carloads of
| celery daily is New York stock. New
York celery brings $1.75 to $3.50 per
crate.
Prices Of carrots have been rising
since the first of the season at East
ern country shipping points, reaching
160 to SITS per bushel.
Apple shipments are over 900 cars
daily; sometimes 1900. About half of
them are from the Northwest and Vir-
ginia. Supplies are moderate to liber-
al in consuming markets and trade
dull. A few declines of 10 cents to
IS. cents per buShel and 25 cents per
barrel were noted in early october. Ben
Davis, Stayman and York sold at 1925
to $3.50 at Virginia shipping points.
Demand for. grapes appears to be
slow at nearly all shipping points,
also in most Eastern markets. New
York Concords sell in the cities so cents
to rs cents per 12-quart basket. They
bring $50 per ton in producing Sec
lions and Delawares, $75.
About $50 cars of sweet potatoes
are shipped daily, mostly from Vir-
ginia, Maryland and New Jersey. Vir-
ginia Eastern Shore stock sells at SITS
to $275 per barrel in Eastern markets.
Prices advanced Is cents to SO cents in
Boston.
Pears were selling lower at some
Western shipping points, but standard
varieties still hold firm above 50 per
bushel in New York producing sections.
Most of the peach supply is from
western New York Elbertas from that
section sell from SIPS to 50 per bushel
in the large Eastern markets.

The copper properties not only are

The political campaign and the in

NEW YORK, October 5.-The favor
able winds of prosperity are swelling
the sales of both wholesale and retail
trade. 1t is doubtful if retail purchases
have been so heavy in any week since
the last Christmas shopping season.
This is due to the high rate of indus

of labor at high wages. In fact it trans
lates industrial prosperity to the Nation
at large. The wholesale trade is forging
ahead on terrifically large volume of
orders for the holiday trade.

DUKE ESTATE SUIT
ENDS IN FAILURE
"Poor Relations" Denied
Claims Filed Against To-
bacco Magnate's Millions.
Rv the Assnciaied prnss.

By the Associated Press.
SONIERVILLE, N. j.. May 22.-The
long fight waged by l03 reputed poor
relations" Of the late James B. Duke,
tobacco magnate, for a share In $4,000
600 of his estate has ended in failure.
Judge John A. Frech. who heard the
case in Orphans Court here, denied
their claims and also refused the right
of their lawyers to charge counsel fees
against the Duke estate, the usual prac-
tice In will cases.
Led by Miss Elizabeth Duke, tele-
phone operator of Wichita Falls Tex,
the claimants had sought In the court
action, lasting over year, TO prove
they were lineal descendants OF the
aunts and uncles of Mr.. Duke. His
will had provided for the division of
the 100000 among such relatives.
The executors of the estate allowed 1877
claims, but refused those Of the per-
sons Miss Duke represented,
witnesses Brought From Texas.
From time to time during the past
year Miss Duke had led little groups
of backwoodS Texas folk into the New
Jersey courtroom. Much out OF their
element in the rigorous climate OF the
North. several of the witnesses were
their sick beds to testify.
The Texas claimants had contended
that Rev. Thomas B. Duke, to whom
they we're related, was a brother OF
Washington Duke, father of the to-
bacco king. To support this conten-
ton they produced documents OF the
Hopewel Primitive Baptist Church. in
Carroll County. Ga. among which was
a paper purporting to be an application
of Thomas Duke for ministerial ordi-
nation and which represented his
parents as being the same as those Of
Washington Duke.
Handwriting Expert Testifies.
August Hartkorn OF Hoboken. N. j.,
testifying as a handwriting expert for
the executors of the estate, said en-
tries in the church documents referring
to the alleged relationship of the Dukes
had been made within the last three
years with a steel pen. The other nota.
tions. he said, had been made with
quill pen.
other documents Introduced by the
claimants had already been declared
forgeries, and Miss Duke had admitted
on the stand that she had made inter-
polations in some of the records.
Miss Duke and her sister. Mrs. Hat
tie Gafield. were the only ones of the
lo3 claimants in court when Judge
Frech handed down his decision. They
said they had not decided whether to
appeal the ruling.
