NEW YORK, October 18.-Christnaas
shopping in 1929 is likely to eclipse
all precedents If retail trade continues
to show the satisfactory seasonal ex-
panSion at present reflected in the ac-
tivity Of chain stores and mail order
houses, 1t Is stated by Gage p. Wright,
president of the Business Economic Di-
gest, in the current issue Of that publ
cation. Wholesale and retail trade are
well above last years level, and many
leading authorities expect an equally
good performance during the closing
months Of the year.
Business Conditions.
Business in general is operating on
much higher plane than existed a
year ago at this time, even though the
conditions prevailing at that time were
decidedly good" says Mr.. Wright.
Various authorities point to the tend
ency on the part of the layman to ex-
pect the usual seasonal increase over
the Summers high volume of activity.
Inasmuch as the comparison Is made
with an abnormally high level, the cur
rent Autumn's business tends to appear
less impressive than it actually Is.
I'm the steel industry, companies
serving the railroads currently are do
ing better than those without business
from this source. Independents relying
more largely on the automobile trade.
for example, are running at only rs to
80 per cent of capacity. While some ir-
regularity in the date Of activity in the
steel industry Is believed likely during
the near future, 1t is expected that the
industry viii have a brisk revival at an
early date.
Authoritative opinion Is nearly
unanimous regarding the outlook for
continued expansion Of business and
earnings among utilities, particularly

Southington Farmer In Line For Title of Meanest Man In World
 Refuses to Pay 30 Pea Pickers
Boys Foil All Day Under Blazing Sun and Are Dis missed With Slap In Face Instead of Coin,
 Mother of One Tells Police

Hartford county has put in its claim for having within it's confines the meanest man in the world. Or that is what the police believe after hearing the sad tale of a woman who lives at 1888 Coroin aven,.e.
 His name is unknown, but Sum- day afternoon he came to New Brit ain (his home is in Southington) and recruited a gang of about 30 boys for work in his gardens. I.,a promises were generous and the lads believed that they really had dis covered the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Never had it seemed so far from one end of the row to the other Finally the peas were gathered and the man had no further use for them.
 It is an old American custom to pay q man when he is through with a job, and this also applies 10 boys Tho peas were picked: they G. manded their money. But with . few harsh laughs and some siaps across their faces the man dis missed them. Mournfully they took to the road to New Britain and home. Rides were not mum erous. Walking was hot. But finally they got here: 30 tired youngsters be- srimed by work in the fields.
 They do not know what to do. They should be paid, they believe. but they do not know just how to go about getting their money. Next time. however, they will not be 50 eullible.
