EARLY FALL BUYING,
SEASON UNDER WAY
Seasonal Requirements in
Clothing and Other Lines
In win Aid Trade.
BY J. C. ROYLE.

One Of the major retail buying Pc
RODS OF the business year started today.
Next to the Christmas holiday shopping
period the early Fall buying is the
major movement of the retailers year.
The vacation season oficially ends
with Labor day. The move back from
the Summer resorts to the cities which
began today is nearly always marked
by tremendous volume of buying Of
furniture. floor coverings, hangines,
kitchen utensils and household furnish
lngs. There Is q period of repairing,
repalntlng and refurniShing and clean
ing which involves the expenditure of
millions Of dollars.
Wardrobe Purchases.
The replenishing of wardrobes also
accounts for hundreds of millions of
dollars. Within the next month at
least 50,0OO,00O pairs of shoes will be
purchased. The preparation of the
younger members of the communities
Tor the school or college year can be
counted on by merchants to keep the
cash registers a-Jingle constantly for
the next three weeks
There are over $4,000 900 young peo-
pie between 8 and 18 years of age in
this country. Practically all of them
attend school and some expenditure is
necessary for each. This may run as
high as several thousand dollars, but
certainly the average is more than $25
each. 1t means q certain revenue to
the garment manufacturers, the hosiery
knltterS, the underwear manufacturers.
the millinery trade and scores of other
lines, which include paper manufac-
turers, book publishers and pen and
pencil manufacturers.
The influence of the college and high
school buying will continue for months.
since the students of those institutions
set the styles for the younger genera
ton.
The impetus of the early Fall buying
is likely to be heightened by the fact
that apparel prices, and indeed those
Ior commodities in general, are low, and
nence should spur purchases.
Buyers Are Busy.
Wholesalers and jobbers have already
| 1elt the increased demand from retail
ers, but the latter have bought on q
nan0- to-mouth basis and stocks are
small Buyers, however, have f1ocked
10 marketing centers and they are pre-
pared to demand rush filling of re-
orders the moment the trade warrants
IL. Retailers have become so used to
getting prompt deliveries that many do
not feel the necessity of maintaining
large stocks.
The trade. beginning today will be
given another spur when cooler weather
begins to make itself felt. That factor
should carry things along until the
Christmas buying begins to develop.
The mail order houses have already
begun to feel the improvement and the
manufacturers who supply them are
speeding up operations. Wool con-
sumption is already showing a steady
! increase, manufacturers having been
preparing for the Fall Nemand from
the garment trades.

BONDS ARE STEADY
IN QUIET TRADING
Hardening of Money Rates
and New Financing
Affect Market. i
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

opeclaI DiSpatcn 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, September "A slight
hardening of money rates, combined
with reports that about 100000 Of
new bond financing will be brought out
this week, proved counter influences to-
day to the reinvestment demand which
normally would cause an advance in
bonds. Nevertheless, the list had firm
tone and recessions proved small and
we're Offset by numerically equal gains.
In the prime group, for instance,
Atchison general As, Union Pacific first
IS, American Telephone 5ias, Standard
Oil of New York 41as, Standard Oil of
New Jersey SIS, Utilities Power g. Light
515s and American &c Foreign Power
SIS were fractionally higher, while
Pennsylvania 412s, Frisco "A" As, Great
Northern rs, Inland Steel 4las and
Duquesne Light AIS dropped little.
The chief item of new financing an
nounced is a $40,000,000 issue of first
and refunding Az per cent bonds soon
to be brought out on behalf OF the new
ly formed Portland General Electric Co.
These, however, will not offer much
competition to outstanding bonds. as
S29, 000,0 900 of 5, s., 6 and 7l2 per cent
mortgage bonds against the electrical
properties of Pacific Northwest Public
Service-the parent concern-will be
retired. The new bonds will fall due
in 1860 and will be priced at 93A to
yield 490 per cent. Another issue soon
to be offered consists of $2,264 900 New
York Water Service Corporation first
mortgage per cent bonds.
Convertible and stock-Option de-
scriptions moved irregulaYly, rejecting
the uncertain tone of stocks. Allie
gheny SIS were active and a shade
higher. There was heavy trading in
Baltimore & Ohio 412s 1880, which
resulted in an early decline, SUISSE
quently retraced. Chicago & North
western AIS, American Telephone 4las,
General Theaters Equipment IS and
International Cement SIS were lower.
Southern Pacific AIS, International
Telephone 4las, Texas Corporation and
Warner Bros. Pictures IS made small
improvements.
Second-grade rail issues and indus
trials of comparable type were irreg-
ular, with losses predominating.
One feature of the market was the
strength of issues such as Cities Service
convertible SIS, which were 2 points
higher. Interest had turned to this
type of bond with the establishing OF
scarcity values for prime credits.
Foreign bonds were marked by the
continuance of short selling in South
Americans, but the professionals were
having a hard time showing profit
as there was plenty of buying money in
the market for Argentine 6S. Peruvian
6s, Uruguay IS and Colombian 6s-all
more or less effected by last weeks po-
litical developments. German issues
sagged slightly. Other European credits
were virtually unchanged. japanese
bonds were again strong.
