FURNITURE TRADE
IN BETTER SHAPE
Depression Has Weeded Out
Weak Firms, Says Head
of Mart.
BY WALTER BROWN.


CHICAGO, December 26.-The de-
preston of the past year In the opinion
Of v. L. Award, president of the Fur
niture Mart, has forced weak furniture
manufacturers out of business, but left
the survivors in a better financial posi-
ton for the expected revival.
The fading year Is the worst in the
history of the industry, he said. Weaker
companies have been "weeded out"
leaving the industry in strong hands" "
Return to Normal.
A return to normal operation in fur
niture factories means much to several
States, and something Smany. In
Illinois, for instance, there are 365 fac
tories or we're at the last census taking.
Indiana has 210 plants scattered through
SO counties. More than half Of the
kitchen furniture sold is made in In
diana.
Michigan had 173 factories, Pennsyl-
vania, 269; Ohio, TIA, and North Caro-
lima, 143. The latter State is the most
important maker of bedroom furniture.
Furniture Mart officials consider the
reservations for the January show an
indicator that retailers are in a buying
mood and that the furniture business

and early Spring.
The 1857 retailers from Illinois who
attended last Summers show repre-
sented a buying power of $72,600, 600
The 403 from Indiana had rating OF
$22, 900, 900. Pennsylvania sent 277 buy"
ers, rating $4,000, 900; Michigan 331r
rating $25 100000; Wisconsin, 348 buy
ers, rating $18,000,000, and Ohio $50
buyers, rating $49,000,000.
"The amount Of capital required to
conduct a furniture manufacturing
business Is much greater today than q
few years ago, and with the experience
of 1880 in mind, banks probably viii
be slow IN extending line OF credit
to new concerns" Award said.
Take Optimistic View.
Both wholesale and retail furniture
concerns look forward to the January
show here with optimism, the whole
salers expecting greater sales, and the
retailers greater wholesale bargains
Expectations Of both are likely to be
realized.
Reports show that many small furni-
ture plants we're idle all year, while
larger manufacturing concerns oper-
ated on reduced schedules. Production
schedules for the new year indicate IN
creased operations.
Exhibitors of all lines Of furniture
are quoting prices to 20 per cent I'M
der last year They also contend that
the articles are better made and the
styles more generally pleasing to al
pocketbooks.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURGH, December 26.-Large
orders on hand will give employment
to several thousand men in the rail
mills of the Carnegie Steel Co. for the
first six months of the new year.
Orders for 10000 tons Of rails for
use in 1881 have been placed by the
New York Central Lines, and of this
quantity the Carnegie Steel Co. will
roll IL $3.50 tons. To Illinois Steel has
been allotted $4,000 tons, to Inland
Steel $4,000 tons and to the Dominion
Steel & Coal Corporation 1000 tons.
One-half Of the order is for immediate
delivery.
Carnegie Steel also expects large
proportion of the $15.000,000 rail and
track equipment order to be placed by
the Pennsylvania Railroad for its 1881
requirements. Other roads, following
the lead of these two, are expected to
place orders in a short time.
Steel mills are expecting from these
operations, which will fail below 80
per cent Of capacity during the holiday
period, an impetus for the coming year.

BANK RUN INVESTIGATION
PURSUED IN NEW YORK
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FTeSS.
NEW YORK, December 26.-Com-
munistS and short-selling brokers OF
bank stock were equally suspected today
in oficial attempts to trace to inspired
sources the run which has resulted in
the closing Of the Chelsea Bank d Trust
Co. early this week.
Against neither group, however, were
those In authority prepared to make
supported accusations, although it was
intimated the State banking depart
ment had information tangible enough
to warrant the attention of District At
torney Grain.
The closing Of the Chelsea Bank &
Trust Co., a small institution patronized
largely by stage people, was blamed by
Joseph A. Broderick, State banking su-
perintendent, upon a run which gained
in proportions until the doors had to be
closed to safeguard the institutions as
sets.

MAKES ADDITIONAL STUDY
ON PERENNIAL. WEEDS

While at Pullman during the
week of June 9th to 18th, the
county agent visited the expert
ment plots at the main experiment
station conducted on the Gray farm
some eight miles from Pullman,
where considerable work is being
done on morning glory with vari-
Gus chemicals.
Sodium chlorate and calcium or
Altacide have been the principle
chemicals used on these plots and
applications have been made at
various rates and from compare
lively early in the season until as
late as December. General results
secured as near as one can judge
the situation now, points to late
application as being much prefer
red over early application. Appli-
cations which have been made even
after the plants have been frozen
SO that it was impossible to find
just as good if not better results
than applications made thru mid
season. On the basis of this work
done at the college we would rec
ommend that those wishing to
treat perennial weeds this year
wherever it is practical at all to
do so, to delay treatment until as
late in the season as it is possible
to locate the patch.
AS to rate of application, two
pounds of sodium chlorate to the
square rod in many instances seems
to have given just as good results
as three pounds and as a rule
three pounds of calcium chlorate
or Altacide seems to be required
to get the same results, although
In some instances the two pounds
seems to do almost equally as well
as two pounds of sodium chlorate
The sodium chiorate is recogniz
ed as icing rather dangerous when
used during exceedingly hot wealth
er. Either chemical can be secured
through distributors at Walla Wal
la or Yakima as well as local drug
stores in the county. The choice
of which one to use will be more
or less a personal problem, but we
suggest that tanners wishing te
take steps for control of various
perennial weeds get in touch with
their local drug stores and order
the amount required to cover the
area affected. 1t has been shown
that if practically complete con
troll is expected the first year thai
a strip 8 to 10 feet wide should b.
the set patch itself, and tits are:
should be included in calculating
the area to be covered.

met with Rattlesnake Grange last

State Grange at Wenatchee, re-
ported receipts of $143.45 with

Grange. Later in the afternoon
MI. Stoops returned to the Po-
mona Grange the check which had
been given for the purpose Of as
sisting in sending the Vale team to
the State Grange.
A great deal of favorable COM
ment was made by delegates at:
tending the State Grange and the
general opinion was that the Vale
team put on their work as well as
any other team. A resolution was
passed thanking the Vale team
for their part in thus bringing
crt dit to the County and another
for the splendid assistance give,,
by the tableau team from Douglas

that Benton county had ranked 3rd

The standing of the various Grange
organizations of the county had
not yet been worked out but this
was promised soon.
Brother Swayze brought up a
matter for discussion which had
been up at the State Grange main
ly whether no dues would be
charged Pomona members but that
minimum of 10c per member in
the Pomona would be paid to the
State Grange by the Subordinate
collecting dues. In some new cases
this would necessitate the Subordi-
nate collecting more dues than they
were in the habit of collecting.
