RUSSIA NOW SIXTH
AMONG U. S. BUYERS
Exports to Soviet Increase III Per
Cent in Year, Trade Re-

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 9.-Soviet Rus
STA has advanced since 1929 from
seventeenth to sixth position in the
list OF the most important foreign
customers for United States merchan-
disc, according to an analysis of foreign
trade statistics issued by Moody's In
VestorS' Service. During the first five
months of this year United States ex-
ports to Russia amounted to $64.424.-
OIL, gain OF IT'S per cent over COM
parable shipments in the correspond
ing period in 1929, and represented $50
per cent of the total value of our
exports.
On June l of last year, Russia was
rated only twenty-third in Importance
among countries of destination for our
exports, and by the end of 1929 had
climbed to seventeenth place. In
achieving the remarkable advance in
1880, while most other countries were
recording sharply decreased purchases,
Soviet Russia is now ranked only by
Canada, United Kingdom, Germany,
France and Japan. The unusual growth
in volume of purchases from the United
States is due chiefly to large orders Of
agricultural implements, tractors and
electrical and industrial machinery, all
obtained in furtherance of the five-year
industrial plan.
Moodys also points out that imports
from Soviet Russia during the first
five months of 1880 were valued at
only $8,5l1,130. or but one-eighth the
value of exports to that country. No
other nation except Denmark, which
has a much smaller volume of COM
merce, shows such a one-Sided trade
picture, so far as dealings with the
United States are concerned.

Wholesale Buying
Picks Up as Price
Lures Purchasers
Commodities Believed to
Have Hit Bottom and Up
ward Move Is Expected.
BY J. C. ROYLE.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
Wholesale buying has commenced to
shake off its shackles This has come
about in response to better retail abb
sorption of goods. In turn, this latter
development is credited to the fact that
lower prices at retail are gradually
going into effect.
Some of these low prices reflect a
falling off in the cost of basic COM
modities, but a majority of them are
due to a lessening of the cost of pro-
ducing and merchandising. These saw
ings are passed on to the public in the
form of lower prices and the public is
beginning to respond with increased de-
mand.
At the moment wholesale trade is
doing better than that to the ultimate
consumer, but this is due in large part
to the extremely hot weather, which has
discouraged shopping especially in the
carpet, house furnishings, kitchen uten-
sis and clothing trades. The response,
however, to garment bargain sales has
been extremely satisfactory in many
large shopping centers.
Commodity Prices.
Commodity prices have slowed down
almost a standstill in their decline.
After weeks of steady, though Slight,
decreases, they have become practically
stationary A move upward is now an
ticipated by excellent judges in nearly
every line.
Purchasing power. according to State
executives throughout the Nation, Is
but little affected so far. This is borne
out by the fact that inStallment pay
ments have been kept up with remark
able regularity. Manufacturers continue
to add new lines in an effort to utilize
machinery to the utmost. Merchants
are following suit in an effort to make
their sales forces as effective as posi-
BILE.
Heavy construction is proceeding at
an excellent pace, but the efforts to
spur building so far have been
unavailing. The steel industry Is
maintaining a steady, moderate level OF
activity, with every indication that de-
mand for steel product will grow
steadily as the year progresses. This
trend is being helped this week by the
renewal of activity by one OF the larg-
est producers of automobiles, the plants
of which had been closed down tenn
porarily =,
Improvement has not made itself
strikingly evident in the non-ferrous
metals. The general trend toward
better sentiment was affected to Ger
tain extent by the news that foreign
producers were combining in order to
snatch business from the American eX-
porters.
Other Industries.
The ice cream and soft drink manu-
facturers are having remarkable sea-
son. due to the hot weather. Dairy
products prices are steady and inclin-
ing upward as result of the drought.
Little Improvement was manifest In
oil or coal oil in the week. The textile
plants are only partially engaged.
Building materials are advantageously
priced at present for buyers. Demand
for electric current continues to grow.

MORE AUTO PLANTS
NOW IN OPERATION
Five Big Producers Resume
Business at Lower Speed
After Vacation Closing.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, August 9.-Five automo-
bile producers have resumed factory
operation this week, following vacation
shut-downs that have become general
throughout the industry this year. This
lengthens to seven the list of Michigan
plants that have renewed operations
Ford, Oakland, Packard Graham
Paige, Cadillac, Hudson and Timken-
Detroit Axle. Oldsmobile and Hupmo-
bile have fortnight holidays in progress
and are scheduled to start again
within a few days.
Because 1t ordinarily required from
one to two weeks to regain the same
volume as at the time of the shutdown.
the plants are resuming at lower
rates Of operation than before. They
cannot be expected to show normal
output under the prevailing conditions
until the final week of August or Sep
TENDER !.
Summer vacations in the present
form are new to the auto industry, but
only in a partial sense. In other years
when activity has been normal the fac
tories were never able to make COM
plete shutdowns of all departments at
one time. Instead, they .resorted to a
staggered" plan whereby holiday Pc
ilouS were dAOWeu 10 one or TWO de-
partmentS at time and were extended
over the months of both July and Au-
gust as circumstances permitted.
Manufacturing advances which have
developed machinery to reduce man
power have made it possible to lump
all the periods in one, and several of
the leading executives have declared
themselves in favor of making this
practice an annual one.
Reports as of July l showed first-half
operations to have been about 10 per
cent of the previous year covering the
corresponding months. Consequently. it
Is to be expected that the lowered
schedules under which factories are re-
Stunning will be reflected in third-quar-
ter returns.

wotnen have come to the front in the
banking profession at surprising rate
IN the more recent past until there are
now women in the country who are
chairmen of bank boards, IS who are
bank presidents, 1875 vice presidents. 280
cashiers and $500 assistant cashiers.
Helena D. Reed of the Lincoln Ma
tional Bank has been making special
study of the part women are playing in
banking and has learned some unusual
ly interesting facts. She was chairman
of the National Women's Committee of
the American Institute of Banking in
1925, when there were 1000 woman
members of that organization. In the
past five years there has been an in
crease of approximately 5000 members,
all engaged in active banking.

act with charm and sincere under
standing of the natural acting in
musical comedy. In other words,
they are right.
Must tell you right now about the
grand stepping done by Peggy
O'Neill and Bobby Jarvis. These
two, in addition to their comedy
talents, have that hitting and
prancing stuff in their feet which
causes this show to sparkle with
dance.
And I liked the work of Nayan
Pearce every minute she was on the
stage. She can sing, she can dance
and she gives one the idea that
golf is no mystery to her. A rather
very fine entertainment, with class
written all over her.
Oh. there are many others pres

prancing chorus that is right. They
work every minute. The women
are right and so are the men. They
seem to take this show game as a
legitimate business. and they enter
