Business Notes

NEW YORK, November 30-Whole-
sale apparel buying again fell below
normal in New York last week, due to
the unreasonable weather. The sudden
turn of temperatures in the last two
days came too late to be reflected in
New York markets, but is expected to
bring rush of orders for coats and
other seaSonable merchandise this week
Chief interest in apparel circles last
week was centered on the resort and
cruise wear lines presented by a num-
Der of manufacturers.
Although industrial buying policies in
general continue along the restricted
lines followed for the last year or more,
purchases in the Central States and in
Canada are showing tendency toward
1cng-term commitments, according to a
survey of November business conditions
completed by the National Association
of Purchasing Agents. Reports for the
country as a whole show a slight i'm
provement in business In the Eastern
States, a decline in the West and no
substantial changes for the Southern or
Central sections.
Coincident with the opening of rug
and carpet manufacturers Spring lines
F. c. Dominick, president Of Walker &
Heisler, Inc, wholesalers, advocated
that rug retailers and jobbers be adj
mitted to membership in the Institute
of Carpet Manufacturers OF America
Inc. Through joint meetings, possible
under the agreement ne suggests, Mr.
Dominick believes the lack OF cont-
dence and confusion now threatening
the stability Of the floor coverings In
dustry can be eliminated.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, November 30
The Southwest is entering Winter with
several more cheerful factors than at
tended the beginning Of Autumn.
Principally. of course, these concern
the trend of markets for raw materials.
Despite a backSet in wheat during
the last 10 days 1t is still 40 per cent
above the ebb of last Summer. Oil,
a considerable influence on business.
is worth three tirSes its value in July.
Corn, little of which has been marketed,
in this territory than last year. All
this makes a potential wealth exceeding
the figures of a few weeks ago. even
though the farmers buying power re-
mains lower than for many years.
Rural banks are finding it fairly easy
to collect notes given to hold wheat
when it was 25 cents bushel, but they
are not eager to force sales for that
purpose and the disposition of the pro-
Queer is to wait longer on the market.
AS a result car loadings remain low
and grain markets are marking time
until there comes desire TO sell wheat
stored on farms and in rural elevators.
That this must come is one factor that
gives hope of easier money in Winter.
JuSU now lOdIlS are increasing ana de-
poSits show unfavorably all through the
farm country.
Just when there will be an inflow of
funds is uncertain. 1t is true that with
a smaller amount of live stock on feed
the Southwest will be seller of feed
Stuffs rather than a buyer and the
helpfulness to the farmstead will some
day be felt.
The deterrent influence just now is
the popular sentiment that the entire
industrial world is clogged and the
farmer is sensitive to general impress
sions gained from the newspapers and
the business men of his community. He
sees his trading center raising funds
to care for unemployed and for charity
on scale never before known and Is
strengthened in his determination to
restrain buying to absolute necessities.
Naturally too, he Is depressed as he
sees building and Improvements practi-
cally at q standstill and draws conc1u-
sions that keep him cautious. That
there will be waking up as holidays
approach is likely and on this mer.
chants are baSing hopes.

NEW YORK, November 30.-The fol-
lowing is a summary of important cor
poration news prepared by the Standard
Statistics Co.. Inc, New York, for the
Associated Press:
Weekly News Review.
The stock market again moved to
lower levels, led by extreme weakness
in the railroad issues. Although 1t
seemed very improbable that the pro-
posal of the railroad executives for
voluntary 10 per cent wage cut would
be accepted by the union representa-
tives, the announcement Of the refusal
of the plan caused a sharp break in
railroad shares. The actual movement
of the market as indicated by our price
index for 80 stocks, showed decrease
of 81 points, dropping from 77.6 on No
venlber 81 to 1873 on November 81, with
all three groups moving to lower levels.
Although both foreign and domestic
bond prices moved lower trading was
not heavy and there seemed to be little
to indicate urgent liquidation. Under
the influence of the unfavorable volun-
tary wage-cut decision, major recessions
occurred in the railroad group, mostly
in second-grade issues.

BONDS ARE LOWER
IN DRAGGY MARKET
Steady Opening Is Followed
by Sag in Prices-Ger-
man List OFF.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 3O.-Bonds
were again weak today, but trading
was not in large volume.
The market opened steady, but start
ed to slide Immediately after opening
orders had been filled. The early rally
in stocks, which failed to hold. had no
reflection in fiXed-income securities.
The factors weighing on the market
were little changed over the week end.
The market was inclined to view skep-
tically the arrangements for a truce
in Manchuria. Germany'S position was
considered bettered by the Geneva in
depreciation of the "standstill' agree
ment, but DR.. Hans Luther's revela-
ton that Germany had strained her
internal credit position to meet dollar
bond service served to cause an abrupt
decline in German bonds.
At home another drop In wholesale
prices, combined with utterances by
w. W. Atterbury, president of the
Pennsylvania, and w. B. Storey, presi-
dent of the Atchison, left a pessimistic
atmosphere over the market.
Mr.. Storey's report that no indica-
ton of any pickup in traffic was ap-
parent more or less conceded with
market expectations, but Mr.. After
bury's call for immediate and practical
aid for the railroads by Federal and
State governments went farther than
previous statements on the roads sit
uation.
Some rail issues declined sharply,
notably Chicago g. Northwestern re-
funding SIS, which were off another 6
points. Atchison general As were at a
new low on the movement. Atchison
convertibleS sold at a price rejecting
the entire dilution of the conversion
rights. Declines occurred in Baltimore
g. Ohio first Is, Boston g. Maine SIS,
Erie 5s, Illinois Central 4As. Missouri
Pacific SIS and 51ss, Nickel Plate IS.
Pennsylvania 612s, South Pacific (Ore-
gon lines) AIS and Western Mary
land As. These and many other car
rier descriptions were at new low prices.
Domestic bonds were steady, while
foreign dollar issues were somewhat
heavy at the opening. Developments
over the week end were generally con-
Structive in Manchuria and in Europe,
but DR.. Hans LutherS analysis of Ger
manyS repaymentS in recent weeks
tended to inspire caution in the for
elgn department. German government
512s opened fracLionally lower. Italy rs
lest a point. Belgian and French de-
scr1ptions were unchanged. Canadians
we're somewhat higher on reports that
the $150,000,000 internal government
loan had been overSubScribed.
Domestic railroad issues were about
steady. with small gains appearing in
st: Paul adjustments and Missouri-Pa-
cif1c SIS. Indust-ials like McKesson &,

tlonal 512s were lower, but Standard
