A. & P. REPORTS
BIGGEST JULY
IN HISTORY

The Great Atlantic & Pacific
Tea Company reports greater
sales for July, 1880, than for any
other July in the history Of the
company; the increase in dollar
sales being $3.50 over sales for
the corresponding period a year
ago, and the increase in physical
volume being 1882.
Dollar sales for the five weeks
in July, 1880, were $96, ,723, $40.
compared with $93, ,671 1893 for the
five weeks in July, 1929, an in.
crease Of $3,052.272. Tonnage
sales, showing actual amount Of
goods sold, were 488, ,682 tons, in
July Of this year, compared with
427, ,431 tons in the same period
last year, an increase of 81, 1,251.
The percentage of increase in
tonnage sales Is greater than the
percentage Of increase In dollar
sales because Of the decline in
food prices since a year ago, and
is a reflection of the higher pur-
chasing power Of the retail food
dollar.
A company statement today
said:
Retail prices must parallel
as nearly as possible the de-
cline Of prices in primary mar
kets, and the present high level
Of wages should be maintained
IL business is soon to recover
from the depression Of the last
few months. Lower prices
raise the purchasing power Of
wages, and stimulate trade by
bringing more commodities
within buying reach Of larger
number of consumer"
Average weekly sales for the
five weeks period in 1880 were
$19,344,734, compared with $18,
734,280 in 1929, an increase Of
$610,454. Average weekly ton.

RUBBER TRADE
HOLDS UP

Despite subnorn, conditions
in general business, consumption
of crude rubber for the first seven
months of 1880 was the highest
on record with the exception of
1929. The figure, 249,775 long
tons, although 1916 per cent below
1929, was 8 per cent above the
same period in 1928, TO per cent,
above 1927, 1874 per cent above
1926, 6.6 per cent over 1925. $40
per cent over 1924 and 1928 per
cent over 1928.
The usual summer adjustment
of production schedules is re-
flected in the consumption OF
crude rubber Of all classes by
manufacturers in the United
States for the month Of July,
which is estimated at 1884 long
tons by the Rubber Manufac-
turers' Association in its monthly
statistical compilation iSued to.
day. This compares with eSti-
mated consumption Of 34,463 long
tons in June, 41,526 long tons in
July, 1929, and 37,407 long tons
in July, 1928. While conSump.
ton for July was % per cent be
low July year ago and 20 per
cent below July, 1928, it was only
IA per cent below the average
July consumption for the past
eight years.
Imports of crude rubber Of all
classes into the United States dur
ing the month of July totaled
34,O84 long tons according to
estimates issued by the Rubber
Manufacturers Association. This
compares with imports Of 42,653
long tons in June, 44,252 long tons
in July, 1929, and 33,382 long
tons in July, 1928.
The association estimates total
domestic stocks of crude rubber
on hand and in transit overland
on July 81 at 152.001 log tons
compared with ISL, ,405 long tons
as of June 80 and 1886 long
tons as of July 81, 1929. Crude
rubber afloat for United States
ports on July 81 is estimated at
5S,326 long tons, as against 58.-
657 long tons on June 80 and 49,

COTTON POINTS
TOSOLUT|ON
Of PROBLEM

Those who want to look at the
bright side Of business develop.
ments may well consider the re.
cent statistics issued by the Asso.
ciation of Cotton Textile Merch.
ants. The figures show exactly
what is required in order to re-
store business to a sound condi.
tion. More than that, they show
how one Of the most depressed
industries is making progress In
working out Of it's troubles.
The figures tell Of q sharp cur
tailment of cotton textile produc-
tion. July Is always low month,
but this year the output was 27
per cent below year ago, and
the lowest in any recent year.
Finding supplies in excess, the
SpinnerS and weaverS have cut
production down to a point where
overproduction will be corrected.
We may add that the price Of
cotton cloth has been free from
artificial manipulation, so that 1t
is as low as costs can allow. This
tends to encourage sales.
Sales Turn for Better
In fact, the July figures show
that cloth sales exceeded pro
duction by 8.6 per cent. This
marks a turn for the better. In
months past production has been
running ahead Of sales with
dreary persistency. OF course. that
meant a decline in the orders
remaining untitled on the books
Of the textile companies.
Shipments Of cotton cloth IN
July also ran ahead Of produc-
ton, and this may mark the end
of the continued accumulation OF
unsold stocks Of cloth.
As q result of these develop
ments the two barometers OF the
y trade. untitled orders and stocks
Of goods, both showed improve
ment in July. They suggest that
this basic industry, at least, may
be turning the corner.
Untitled Orders Gain
We find that in four weeks
more than 180,000,000 yards Of
cotton cloth were sold. In the
same period 176,0O0,O00 yards
were shipped. Naturally. there
fore. untitled orders gained about
100000 yards, or 1.6 per cent.
The backlog Of orders thus
made a real net gain.
Since shipments exceeded pro
duction by about 100000 yards,
stocks were drawn upon, and we
find the quantity in storage be-
ginning what promises to be a
steady reduction.
This is encouraging. For the
present, it means smaller produc-
tion and a period Of dullnesS at
the cotton mills. For the future,
however, the condition here por-
trayed shows daylight ahead. If
the mills continue present policies,
it is only question Of time
until their inventories will be re-
duced to normal proportions and
their untitled orders become large
enough to give a basis for steady
operations.
Making Own Comeback
Then the manufacturers will
be able to get a fair profit on
their goods something they have
not seen for many a month.
It is a fine thing to see this
great industry, without the aid
Of the government, gradually
putting its house in order. Other
industries may well take note. It
is using the good old fashioned
remedy, and is likely to be cured
sooner than industries which try
to keep prices and production up
against the trend,

When business finally turns up

Of the chemical companies will b
among the most attractive invest
ments, in the opinion of ths
Brookmire Economic Service, Inc.
which declares:
"The industry as . whole en-
ters the second half Of 1880 with
demand ut . very low level and
with prices weak and steadily
declining. 1t seems certain that
the third quarter win show
operations ut . lower level than
either the first or second guar.
ters. And at this time we hardly
expect the fourth period to re-
cord any improvement.
Zone Of the divisions Of the
chemical industry which has
shown the greatest gains In re.
cent years is that connected with
the manufacture of rayOn. This
product has been q very serious
competitor Of silk. Now, tempo
rarily at least, the situation is
reversed and silk is providing
competition, which Is making
the going hard for rayOn.
These factors are unfavOr-
able. We, nevertheless, have
complete faith in the chemical
industry and look forward to an
other period Of rapid and i'm
pOrtant growth, as soon rs the
present temporary situation has
been corrected"
Business activity in July SlumpeC
to a level which will begin the
needed corrective process, accord
ing to the latest forecast OF
fundamental conditions Of the
Brookmire Service. Q
The report continues!
"A period Of several months
at this approximate level will
result in a reduction Of sur.
pluSes and development Of de-
ferred demands, making neces-
Sary q renewd expansion. Just

year.
a I'm our Judgment, no more
than the seasonal recovery, at
most, can be seen up to OctO-
Der. No important recovery can
set in much before the year
end or beginning Of 1891" =
The drought and the extreme
temperature Of July and early
August, have reduced prospects
for crop production to rather
below average, according to the
latest crop analysis of Brookmire
which continues:
"The corn and hay crops are
the ones chiefly affected.
Irreparable damage has been
done here, especially to corn,
and good crops can by no
means be expected.
''This will result In reduced
production Of dairy and poultry
products and liquidation Of
livestock on the farms. Meat
and animal products will be &C
cOrdingly somewhat higher in
price next year. The most
serious result will be in the
depletion Of farm supplies Of
livestock, leading to . depres-
sion in that industry which can
not be repaired in less than
two or three years.
Cotton has also been injured
somewhat: though most OF the
damage here Is not irreparable.

ATLANTIC COAST LINE PASSENGER TRAIN IS
 SEIZED NV TAX CASE

SEBRING, Florida, April 14.-- The Atlantic Coast Line passen- ger train No. 191 was seized here by Sheriff Oscar Wolff last Sat- urday night in an attachment or der issued by State Comptroller Er- nest Almost, against the Railroad for delinquent taxes. No passen- gers were aboard the train.
 The Sheriff first expected to at tach the carrier at Avon Park but waited until it arrived here because the mail contract did not run out until the train reached Sebring.
 The County Attorney said he had given the railroad 48 hours to sat- isfy the county in payment of taxes and had received no reply.
 It is feared the whole thing will be tied up in long litigation.
 The company took quick action to prevent such a procedure with three other locomotives. with mis- cellaneous freight cars, and they did not enter the county.
 Several motor cars and other equipment of the company were also seized.
