HARDWARE DEMAND HAS
 QUITE SP0TTY STATUS
Unreasonable Weather Continues to Be Main Factor in Retarding
 Market in Various Sections

New York, July 2.-June sales totals Tn hardware in some sections compare quite favorably with the corresponding month of last year, while business in other territories, under the influence of less favorable conditions, was considerably below normal, Hardware Age will say to- morrow in it's weekly market sum- mary. For this reason, the character of the existing demand may aptly be termed spotty.
 Principal retarding factors at the present time appear to be the un- seasonal weather prevailing in cer- tain sections of the country, curtail- cd industrial activity and the none too healthy status of general busi- ness conditions. As it is customary for the demand to fuctuate consid- erably at this time of the year due to the highly seasonal nature of the merchandise in demand. there is lit tie pessimism apparent over the somewhat disappointing activity dur ing the past month. Warm weather with a minimum of rainfall during July would do much 10 stimulate the movement of summer goods and would serve to offset. to some ex- tent, June sales declines.
 Prices, in the main. and in view of general conditions. are remarkably steady While minor revisions have occurred fairly frequently recently, few of the changes becoming effec- tive are of consequential nature. The most important revision an nounced during the past week was slight decline in cordage quota tions.
 The credit situation, as a whole, is considered fairly satisfactory by the majority of wholesalers and dealers. although outstanding accounts ap- pear less burdensome to the former.

writing in the Thrift Magazine. He
points out that most homes are
bought on partial payments. Here
the need for caution is even greater
than if all the money needed were in
hand. The monthly installments are
not all savings. Especially in the be-
ginning. they will go chiefly toward
meeting the interest. AS the debt Is
gradually reduced, this factor will de-
cline But the initial bargain should
be based as closely as possible on one

is a good basis for determining what
one should pay for ones own home.
1t must be borne in mind, however,
that this is only a general formula.
Homes in or near large cities. for
example, are more expensive than
those purchased in small places. For
this reason home ownership is out of
the reach of many city workers whose
only recourse is to go far into the
suburbs and sometimes this is i'm
practicable. We may feel, neverthe-
less, that with the vast multitude OF
Americans, home ownership is an
economic possibility. With most fam
lilies it is a commendable type of thrift
and at this period of the year should
receive every encouragement.

STATE FAIR RATES
REDUCED FOR 1880

The Board of Managers of the Mimi
esota State fair, at meeting held
March Z, definitely decided to reduce
the price of admission at the outside
gates of the fair from IS cents to so
cents for adults according to COM
munication received from the fair
secretary. Raymond A. Lee. 1t is an
ticipated by the board that the in
reased attendance resulting from the
lower rates will more than make up
for the loss that would seem apparent
as result of the reduction.
1t is further announced that al
though the price of admission will be
reduced there will be nothing taken
from the entertainment program OF
the fair, but that the institution will
continue as one of the outstanding ex-
hibitions of it's kind in the country.
Plans are already under way to make
the 1880 exhibit excel any that have
taken place in the past.

was pleasantly shocked when this re-
quest for an end to the talk-fest came
from its most notoriusly loquacious
member. The answer may be found
in the FESTIVE spirit that is apparent
among the 33 Senators whose terms
are expiring. They want to return to
their homes to offset the pre-primary
campaigns of their opponents, but
they dare not leave their official .du
ties, even overnight when issues are
settled by a vote or two. Senator Pat
Harrison of Mississippi deliberately
pulled aside the binders recently
