INVENTORIES UP,
WHOLESALERS SAY
Current Buying Policy to
Purchase FilI-ins Only, New
Survey States.

Inventories Of wholesalers today are
1873 per cent above a year ago, meas
ured on the basis of a time supply
equation, according to the Standard
Statistics Co., which has just completed
an intensive survey Of a cross-section
of the trade. Salient portions of the
results of the survey follow:
AT the outset it is important to
note. that the selection of merchants
interviewed was left entirely to chance,
in accordance with the principles of
random sampling. The firms interview
ed are located in the New York Metro
politan district. although the trading
areas include territories which are, in
most cases. country wide. Reports were
consistency, and all doubtful ones
eliminated.
Distributed according to types of
merchandise, 4l.9 per cent of the
wholesalers handled apparel and dry
goods, 1875 per cent drugs, % per cent
groceries and 21.6 per cent hardware
and paint. Classified according to trad
ing areas. 46.6 per cent served the
New York Metropolitan area, per cent
did business within $50 miles of New
York, 8.3 per cent served the Atlantic
seaboard and 36.1 per cent had national
coverage.
''Of this group, 875 per cent state
that their July and August sales were
below those of the corresponding period
of 1929, Al per cent report no change
and 7.8 per cent report increases.
Evidence elected by the interviews
indicates that the current buying policy
of $50 per cent of the wholesalers is
to purchase films exclusively, which
might be anything from case to sew
eral car loads. About % per cent are
purchasing merchandise IN quantities
sufficient to carry on business pending
the receipts of fresh goods, but not suf-
ficient to maintain inventories The re-
mainder are inclined to replenish stocks
through the medium OF special offers
at price concessions. More than four
fifths of the wholesalers report chat
they are buying less frequently.
las compared with year ago, 42.e
per cent indicate that their inventories
are unchanged or have increased, while
ST. per cent report decreases"

TRADE PRACTICE RULES
REVISION is OPPOSED

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario, Septem-
Der 29.-The American Trade Associa-
ton adopted resolutions in its con-
vention here assailing the United
States Trade Commissions plan to re-
wise or reject certain trade practice
rules adopted by industrial groups.
The resolutions say such proposed re-
vision is bound to cause disturbance and
bility to the present business situation,
and that more than 100 business, trade
or industrial groups have spent consid-
cradle energy and large sums of money
in obtaining the adoption of the confer
ence rules. The rules are said to have
had the approval of the commission.
The resolution says the members
submit to the Federal Trade Commits
sion their protest against the proposed
revision and rejection of trade practice
and conference rules by the method and
in the manner 1t is proposed to revise
and reject them, and respectfully urge
the Federal Trade Commission to aban-
don such procedure; to adhere to the
policy upon which industries for 10 years
have been encouraged by it to demand
and to adopt the policy of making speci-
nc interpretations of such rules if, as
and when they are called upon to inter
pref or adjudicate them in connection
with complaints"

1.-The extraordinary advantages re-
sulting to the natural gas industry from

ing the past several years. The British

This practically opens up the entire

NATURAL GAS GETS

Boon to Industry.
special pispateh to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURGH, September 29--The
decision of the Illinois Commerce Com
mission granting the petition of gas
company to bill its customers on the
basis of heat units consumed, instead of
on the number of cubic feet of gas
used, is described as being of epochal
Importance in the natural gas industry
by Furlan6, Reuter- g. Co.
1.-The action of the commission Is
only comparable to that which changed
the unit OF measurement of gas from
candlepower to cubic feet" says the
company. eff precedent is followed
the new unit of measurement will be
generally adopted, making economically
feasible the construction of natural gas
pipe lines to every section Of the United
States.
THE far-reaching significance OF this
ruling Is due to the extremely high
heat content of natural gas, which is
1,100 British thermal units, in con-
trast to heat output of $40 B. r. u.
for manufactured gas. The Illinois Gus
toner directly affected by the ruling
under the new system will pay $1.14
for $50 therms. equal to $4,000 B. T.
u, instead of $1.14 for 1000 cubic
feet of gas as formerly. Thus If natural
gas is delivered to the consumer, 500
