DEMAND FOR HARDWARE
 VARIES WITH WEATHER
Activity i'll Holiday Goods Proves Disappointment-Builders' Ma
 GCrialS in Greater Demand

New York - Nov. 12 Most of the leading hardware markets re- port that the current demand fluc- tuates noticeably with weather con- ditions, Hardware Age will say to- morrow in its weekly market sum- mary Under the favorable auspices of seasonable weather, an almost immediate increase becomes appar- ent in the demand. which eXempli- fies the generally low condition of stocks in the hands of dealers
 Activity in holiday lines has thus far been rather disappointing to the trade Early business in Christmas lines has been behind the same per Iod of last year 10 about the same extent as the general sales volume. The approach Of Thanksgiving has resulted in an excellent demand for roastcrs. carving sets and similar times. Builders hardware is in slightly better demand than al any time in recent months. Both wood and metal working tools are also moro active, Staple lines are rather quiet. with an easier price tendency deemed responsible for the dullness Housewares continue 10 enjoy fair ly brisk movement. Hunting supplies and winter auto accessories are in good demand
 Little fluctualIou has actually oc- cured in prices, although the trend is downward rather than upward, Eeadjustmonts in scattered instances have been responsible for a few re- visions of minor importance
 The credit situation IS considered fairly @atisfactory although collcc- tions are characterized as slow in some sections of the country

 And that was an episode, not a mere incident. For it took place around the dawn of the present cen jury before side saddles had gone the way of the dodo, length dresses, smelling salts and crinolinc.
 But Thomasvillc now has caught up with the girlhood ways of the re- publican senatorial nominee in Illi- nois and her horseback riding during her many winters here is remember cd as only a precedent instead of a thriller. Old-timers also recall many instances of her kindness,
 Once a westcrner passed through here on route to Florida in a GOV cred wagon drawn by white horses so thin that they looked like ghosts, Miss Hanna went to q livery stable bought a new wagon and two buN- om, stalWart horses. and offered tc trade even with the man from the west, He accepted and she then gave his team to Judge W. H. Hopkins with instructions that they be killed 10 end their obvious misery.

Brown Will Appear in
 Post Office Lease Inquiry

Washington, April 12 (UP)-Post- master General Brown planned to appear before the interstate com- merce committee of the senate to- day to give it requested information about ocean mail contracts which the post office department has left to shipping companies.
 His call to appear before the com- mittee was an indirect outgrowth of the stir in the senate over the lease of certain post office buildings for which some senators considered the department was paying exorbi- tant rates. It was believed in some quarters that a company controlling some of the post office buildings also held ocean mail contracts.
 With the house and senate both in recess today, attention centered on the Brown hearing. No other congressional committees planned sessions today, though some of them may assemble on call.
