BRADSTREET SEES
 NO IMPROVEMENT
Wool Market Quiet With Prices
 Softening Somewhat

Boston, Oct. IS UP)--No im- provement was noted in any of the businesses discussed yesterday in Bradstreet's weekly revieW of local trade conditions.
 "The wool market has been rather quiet with prices having a tendency to soften but the finer grades of do- the review said. Considerable pres- sure is being brought upon the To- cal market because foreign markets have had a falling off in prices and therefore some of the larger dealers are holding off sales at lower prices as long as possible.
 Upper and sole leather markets continue to be quiet with prices in some lines inclined to ease off slight ly. Unsatisfactory conditions in raw material markets are held somewhat accountable.
 "Shoe manufacturers report a slight let-up in production in most lines Merchandising problems and prospect of lower prices for spring lines are occupying the attention of many manufacturers.
 Dry goods and mems furnishing iobbers report business unchanged Mems clothing and cloak and suit jobbers report business as quiet.
 Department store sales have been somewhat smaller. Speciality shops are quiet.
 "The general volume in the whole sale jewelry business is 30 per cent less than a year ago and the retail end of the business is 35 per cent less than 1929. Collections are fair to slow"

LEAGUE DELEGATES
 ID CLOSE WORK
Preparatory Disarmament Con-
 mission to DiSband

Washington, Oct. IS R-Speedy conclusion of the work of the League of Nations preparatory dis armament commission will be urg ed by the American delegation at Geneva.
 After extended conferences with President Hoover, Secretary Stimson and state department officials, the American delegation, headed by Hugh S. Gibson, amb mbassador to Bel gium, and Hugh R. Wilson, min ister to Switzerland, has left for Geneva to attend the session open ing early next month.
 Ready to End Work
 A number of other nations are understood to be ready to back any plan to liquidate as promptly as possible the work of the commission so that some formula for disarma- ment may be laid before the league assembly.
 One proposal favored widely, but which will be opposed by the United States so far as it's own land and sea forces are concerned, is that for budgetary limitation. Under this method expenditures for arma- ment9 would be limited as well as the numerical strength of service. The contention of the United States will be that the proportionate cost or maintaining the services here is much higher than in other coun- tries, so that budgetary limitation would restrict unduly Americas land, sea or air forces. It also will be emphasized the United States give full publicity to the amount of money spent annually on it's fight ing forces.
 Oppose Air Limit
 The delegation is expected to op pose emphatically any limitation for mula which would restrict commer- cial aircraft.
 President Hoover at the series of conferences he has had with the principal delegates has taken a who hearted interest in the for mutation of the American policy. It was said authoritatively today the. United States will not enter the ses- sion with anything in the nature of a surprise, as at last years meeting when the American delegation pro- posed the use of the yard stick for naval limitation. While the yard stick" never was adopted, 1t opened new discussion which led tO the signing this wear of the Lon dcn naval treaty.
