PROPOSALS FOR DOLE SYSTEM

gestion that the Farm Board should
furnish pancake -four at cost to the
1oblsss, while the jam and preserve in
Gustry sells them figs, peaches, pears,
plums and other conserve5 at a little
more than the cost of production and

The present need is not for jobleSs

the workers to solve their own problems
scores of firms are operating with that

The lumber companies are sending
their woods crews into the forest at

INCREASE IN CIGARETTE
CONSUMPTION CONTINUES

Since 1915 the consumption of ciga-
rettes in America has increased from
181 per capita to nearly 1000 per capita
at present Meanwhile the consump-
ton of cigars has declined during the
same period from over 70 cigars per
capita to about SIS.
These facts are developed by the
Union Trust Co. Cleveland, in a recent
survey of the tobacco industry. The
use of cigarettes to the great impetus
given by the war and subsequently to
the multiplication of female smokers,
and to the. extensive advertising and
merchandising programs Of the ctga-
Tette companies.
While the per capita consumption of
all cigars. has been receding, one OF
the most notable phases of the tobacco
trade in recent years has been the spec
tacular strides Of the scent cigar, ac-
cording to the bank.
This DEVELOPMENT comprises q COM
plete fulfillment of the late Thomas r.
Marshall's half whimsical, half serious
announcement that what the country
needs is a good scent cigar" says the
bank in its magazine Trade Winds.
in 1929 a total Of 1882 .593,l10 s.
cent cigars were produced in America,
gain of 272,238.950 over 1928. Fully
20 per cent more scent cigars were
manufactured than cigars of all other
price grades, the total Of which has
been steadily declining in recent years

than cents accounted for SAT- per cent

PER SISTENT BUYING OF WHEAT
HAS STRENGTHENED MARKET
Important Grain Traders Favor Purchases
on All Declines-Prices Now Show
Substantial Gains.

have contributed to the bullish tinge
of the market. One Is the fact that
husking returns have not been very
favorable for corn and that country
offerings have been light. The situa-
ton does not seem to attract much
buying power, since farmers continue
to feed heavily OF wheat and apparently
are holding of Of corn as much as
they can In anticipation Of larger re-
ceipts.
The trade had been hard to con-
vince that farmers would stick to the
unaccuStomed practice OF feeding wheat
to live stock, but one of a group of
State agricultural commissioners con-
ferring with Chairman Legge of the
Farm Board predicted that before
another crop year this country would
be importing wheat because of the
volume in which it was being fed to
stock.
While he discounted the full measure
of the prediction, Mr.. Legge said the
carryover at the beginning of the next
crop year would be much less than has
been the custom.
Another stimulating factor has been
intermittent suggestions Of stronger
European buying OF North American
wheat. Although the foreign wheat
market situation has not changed ma
active and the relatively large world
shipments apparently are passing read
lily into consumption. New offerings
of Russian wheat are reported to have
slackened and Argentina Is believed to
be scraping the bottom Of her export
bins.
There is a deficiency of wheat in
European countries, and only North
America sufficiently able to meet an
emergency demand between now and
the new Southern Hemisphere harvest.
European Demand.
So far European demand has been
very quiet, influenced by favorable
weather in Australia and Argentina,
which indicates low prices for the time
being. Wheat in those countries con-
tinues to make favorable progress, with
the Argentine acreage now placed at
the record figure of 21,316,000 acres
This, with the record area of 18,160,000
acres in Australia, brings the combined
area in the two countries to about 39,-
500, 900 acres-an increase Of about 46
per cent over the average acreage shown
in the postwar years, 1921-1925, and
66 per cent above the average OF pre-
war wears, 1909-1913.

CHICAGO, October 27.-Increasei
evidence of returning confidence is ap-
parent in the steel industry. also In
the mercantile lines. Expectations OF
railroads buying around 5000 tons Of
rails in the near future give q fresh
impetus to other lines.
Bars, sheets and structural steel tom
nages have increased, and buying for
immediate delivery has been backed I'D
by a disposition of steel users to antici-
pate future requirements to q somewhat
larger extent. Operations in the steel
industry in the Chicago district last
week were So per cent of capacity, or /
per cent more than in the previous
week, and compare favorably with last
year. Employment conditions are I'M
proving.
Lower temperatures brought increased
buying of coal, and that industry has
taken on a better tone. Fuel oils are
being brought more freely, and con-
sumption for the next six months prom
tses to be greatly increased, as there
will be more oil burners used for do
nestle heating than heretofore.
Interior distributors Of dry goods
and general merchandise appeared in
sales of blankets, underwear, hosiery
and gloves by wholesalers. Clothing
manufacturers and jobbers, as well as
retailers, were favored with more orders
for overcoatS.
Spring business in clothing is OPEN
ing up to fair extent. with indications
that mems suits will be possibly to 10
per cent lower than last year. Reports,
however, say clearance of Summer
goods was not up to expectations in
few sections.
Retail business took on new life,
sales being greater than recent weeks
and about equaling those Of last year.
Competition from outlying districts has
induced number of the large State
street stores to keep open Saturday
evening. Sales so far, however, have
not eQualed expectations.
Sales by mail order houses and chain
stores were about the same to q little
larger than last year as to volume, and
one Of the largest distributors adds that
the actual sales are not fully reflected,
IN view Of the fact that the goods are
lower in price than last year.

larger concerns in this line. The VOL
ume OF factory production has increased
decidedly this month, although it is still
somewhat under the level of last year.
There is much difference of opinion
en- the effect CT the trend of commod-
ity prices. Many bankers and econ
omists lay the blame for the depression
on the fact that commodity prices have
been reduced. Others anticipate that
the reduction Of commodity prices will
so stimulate buving that prosperity must
inevitably result
Favorable Sign.
A favorable sign in the business sit
uation is the pickup in Geographic
communication. This is a very reliable
barometer of business and indicates
that goods and commodities are COM
mencing to move with increasing speed
and volume.

BY FRANK I. WELLER.
Associated Press Farm Editor.

Buyers have begun nibbling at the
wheat market, cautiously. but with Just
enough consistency to indicate q pos
sible turning point in the psychology Of
the trade.
Commission houses with Eastern con-
nections have been persistent buyers Of
wheat in moderate way, Chicago re-
ports say, and a dozen or more impor-
tant grain firms subscribe substantially
to the theory that while continued ir-
regularity is likely in all grains the gen.
eral trend is toward higher prices. They
favor purchases Of wheat on all de-
clines.
In the meantime prices have worked
8 to cents higher, cash markets hold
ing relatively f1rmer than futures and
premiums for cash wheat showing fur
Their increases.
Current Opinions.
This new friendliness toward wheat,
however, is perforated with observations
that a definite turn in the markets and
a sustained advance may be delayed for
some time, and with hesitancy to fol-
low bulges except on fair reactions.
The following are among current
grain trade opinions:
1.-THE gradually hardening tendency,
rejecting steady absorption by infiu-
entail commission houses, encourages
belief that the advance In wheat will
continue for the present"
I'VE feel that purchases on the easy
spots are advisable in wheat"
I'VE are of the opinion that low prices
for wheat will bring good support"
1T behooves investment buyers to ac-
cumulate wheat around these levels II
they expect to profit by the advance
which seems inevitable
One influer tial Chicago firm takes
the view that any sharp upturn in wheat
should be taken advantage of to sell
for profit, the idea being to place on
fair reaction to gradually higher trend
in prices.
Without doubt wehat has been gain
ing friends, with Eastern interests taking
the lead in the best buying exhibited
for days. Large orders which absorbed
offering bolstered confidence in Chicago
although there is a disposition among
the pit elment to take profit on all adj
vances, causing frequent setbacks.
Bullish Factors.
Whether or not their influence will
have any lasting effect, several factors

OF improvement in the steel market
that developed during the week. Rail-

also an improvement in the inquiry for
