TEXAS SALES
ON INCREASE

AUSTIN, Oct. 15.-Texas depart
ment store sales for September
made q gain OF "a per cent over
August, according to the Bureau OF
Business Research OF The Univer-
sity Of Texas. Practically all Of the
cities shared in the increase, with
the improvement in sales in Abilene,
Austin, Fort Worth. Rclston, San
Angelo and San Antonio going
above the average increase in the
state, the Bureaus report showed,
That the increase from August
to September did not quite reach
the average OF 81 per cent for
-l927-1928-l929 is probably due to a
continuance OF unseasonal dry,
hot weather. over the entire state,
which no doubt has tended to delay
the purchasing OF new fall and
winter wear" the report said.
LAS compared with September
last year, Tyler was the only city
in the state which made an increase.
while the average for the So stores
reporting TO the Bureau showed a
drop OF 81 per cent. The volume OF
business so far this year has held
up rather well in spite Of declines
In dollar value OF sales, but this
drop of 81 per cent seems to be
greater than that in prices.
SALES for the first nine months
OF 1881 are Il per cent below those
for the corresponding part OF 1880,
Tyler, Waco, San Antonio, Fort
Worth, and Galveston approach the
1880 levels more closely than any
OF the other cities. while Abilene,
Beaumont. and San Angelo are
tagging the farthest behind.
The ratio OF collections to out
standings for August was maintain
ed through September, showing
that collections are at least not
getting any slower.
In the United States. depart
ment store sales made somewhat
less than the estimated seasonal
increase. according to the Federal
reserve board. while sales for Sep
TENDER as compared with the cor
responding month last year were
IL per cent less. Boston was the
only one OF the twelve districts to
show an increase, while the Cleve-
land and Dallas districts had the
largest declines. AS compared with
sales for the first nine months OF
1880, sales for the year to date are
o per cent less. though sales in
eight Of the twelve districts were
10 per cent or more under those
for last year"

In many instances, manufacturers
stocks of merchandise were so low that
immediate deliveries were impossible to
make. Some emphasis was placed on
better goods and the opinion was that
retailers could have done large VOL

had been better prepared. Orders for

slower than in former years, but an
upturn in Women's coats for promotions
is expected this week
Results of branch store operation
during the period of the depression have
not proved particularly favorable for
the general department store operating
such units, trade circles In New York
reported. Sales have fallen off to q
somewhat greater extent than those in
the main unit, owing to the desire OF
many customers to ship In the keenly
competitive retail shopping centers. For
the speciality type of organization, how

working out to advantage.
recommendations regarding a CO.

BONDS DEPRESSED
IN HEAVY TRADING
UnfavorabIe Trade News and
Tax Selling Are Factors
in Decline.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 15.-The
bond market continued its drastic de-
cline today. Trading was heavy.
The liquidation of bonds caused by
the various fundamental factors Of poor
earnings, lower foreign trade, numerous
DIRECTIONS from the gold standard and
actual defaults of many bonds, both
domestic and foreign, and aggravated
oy the usual December tax selling has
now reached such proportions and is
gaming SO much impetus on the down.
turn that 1t has become probably the
most discoursging phase of the present
situation in financial markets.
Today there were 81 issues Of domes-
TIC bonds, out of the 500 active issues
listed on the Stock Exchange, that were
selling for less than 30 cents on the
dollar. OF these all but six are still
paying interest. More than half Of all
listed bonds sold today for less than 60
cents on the dollar. Standard Statistics
index OF so representative bonds. which
on Monday dropped is points, was
down an equal amount today.
The selling was indiscriminate
American Telephone gold As and de-
benture IS, both of which were a point
on to a new low, dropped as readily
on few sales as did speculative bonds,
such as Missouri-Pa Pacific SIS. Atchison
General As, most highly regarded rail
issue, sagged to new record low since
1920. They were equally as soft As
junior and third-grade railroad bonds
like Erie SIS. International Great North
ern adjustments, Denver & Rio Grande
Western SIS and Nickel Plate 6s. Bal
tlmore & Ohio issues were off 2 to 3
points. Similar losses occurred in the
bonds of Southern Railway, Southern
Pacific, New York Central, Pennsyl-
vania and other roads.
lndustrials and utilities were equally
weak. Goodrich 6s, McKesson & Rob-
bins 512s, International Cement SIS, In
ternational Telephone SIS, Armour 4l2s
and other junior industrials declined
along with conservative descriptions
like General Motors Acceptance IS,
Standard Oil of New Jersey IS, New
York Telephone 4l2s and Consolidated
Gas Alps.
Bonds again were under pressure at
the opening Trading was not particu-
larly heavy, but price declines were
wide, owing to the continued scarcity of
bids. Overnight news was negligible.
In the foreign department, German
government 5 5l2s and Dawes reparations
Is were both off point. British S 5l2s
also were down point. japanese is
SUES were unchanged; South Americans
were quiet and little changed
Railroad bonds were still the heaviest
OF domestic issues. Losses Of point or
more occurred In Rock Island 4l1s, Mis-
souri-Paciflc SIS and and similar descrip-
tions. Industrials lost ground. Stand
ard OIL of New Jersey SIS opened at a
new low at e9a4. McKesson & Robbins
IS were off a point.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK. December l5-Brokers'
comment on the stock market was
rather negative today. Special year.
end selling, some pointed out, might be
broken by a technical rally
Redmond & Cove feel that, re-
gardlesS of the general trend, which
obviously is still downward, the market
IS entitled to technical rally after
its recent prot-acted decline, but there
was no indication that such rally
was near at the close Of the market
last night.
Jackson Bros, Boesel & Cove
cannot escape the conclusion that in
stitutional tax selling incident to year.
end accounting has a great deal to do
with the present irregularity in the
stock market. 1t is foregone con-
clusion that the type of liquidation
which is classified as window dress
ing" will run its course when the year
runs out 1t is safe to assume that
bargain hunters will appear in the
closing days of the year to take ad-
vantage of this kind. Of selling. This
he's always happened in past years and
was one Of the principal developments
which inspired the major rally in
stocks last January.
