TREND IN BUSINESS
CONTINUES MIXED
Suspension of Gold Standard
Causes Confusion in
World Markets.

Uncertainties arising from the sus-
pension OF the gold standard in Great
Britain and more recently in the Scan
dnavian countries have prevented any
accurate determination of the trend Of
developments in Europe. the Far East
and South America, the Commerce De-
pa,tment said.
Based on reports received by the de-
partment by radio and cable, officials
said British industrial interests were
expecting at least a temporary advan-
taga in the export trade but the import
t~ade was being retarded.
Finnish foreign trade, according to
reports, showed heavy declines during
the last eight months il imports, with
6 relatively smaller loss in exports, en-
HANGING the favorable balance for the
period Aside from the unsettlement
caused by the exchange situation, the
reports said the Italian business was
generally depressed.
Trade in the Union of South Africa
was reported dull but steady, with the
outlook for automobile sales improving.
I; was asserted. however, that the trade
with tie United States had been BROUGHT
practically to a Standstill since Brltalns
gold standard suspension. THIS was que,
it was explained. to the lack of exchange
facilities between South Africa and New
Yori-.
Department officials asserted that
recent exchange developments. lnclud-
ing the depreciation Of the Canadian
dollar have created considerable I'M
certainty in Canada. but so far there
lbs been no definite trend in either
direction.

LIMITATION ON OIL
IMPORTS IS URGED
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associa ed Press.
The Commerce Department has been
asked by oil producers of Kansas, Okla
homa and Texas to request importers to
desist from importing into this country
any refined or by-products of crude oil
and to limit their imports of crude to
not more than 100000 barrels per day.
The limitation, under the plan, would
be effective at once to continue as long
as the curtailed domestic production of
2,379, 900 barrels daily and sterilization
program is carried out by the principal
oil-prcducing States.
The importers, who are said to be the
principal producers in Mexico and South
America are also asked to limit produc-
to. in those countries to not more than
5S1 900 barrels daily
The oil men claim that while domestic
production is now 100000 barrels daily
less than the market demand, and that
the domestic output fas been reduced to
less than the market demand for more
than two years, requiring 42,oo0,0000

Business Notes

NEW YORK. October THE total
number OF buyers registered in the New
York wholesale lncrcnHndise market in
the week ended Tuesday was lower than
for the preceding week and for the like
week OF last year, according to lists
published in the New York Times. For
the week 1875 buyers were listed, as
against 835 in the previous week and
765 in the same period last year.
Continued warm weather has given a
further setback to the development of
the Fall season, and estimates were that
the seasonal demand is now three weeks
to a month behind last year. What
this means, it was said, is that either
very large total of the seasonal bust
ness, will be compressed into a short
period once cold weather arrives or else
the season as a whole will become one
OF making and selling goods largely on
sales basis.
Recent orders for fur coats have
placed added emphasis on popular
price garments. with something of a
lull developing in the higher-grade long
coats Retailers have found they can
obtain a fairly good turnover on short
jackets of lapin or sinlilar pelts, and a
very large percentage of the order busi-
ness IS being concentrated on them.
DESPITE continued warm WS6tr1er IN
many sections of the country. numerous
stores which had scheduled November /
as their delivery date on mems fur-lined
gloves are now specifying that ship
nlents be made Immediately, manufac-
turers reported. Delivery dates are even
more difficult to fill on unlined styles,
it was explained, with producers who
had promised shipments on October l
not being able to complete deliveries
until possibly the 18th or 18th of the
month.

barrels to be drawn from storage, there
has been no corresponding reduction of
imports. This notwithstanding the I'M
porters have for a considerable time
indicated to domestic producers that as
soon as domestic production had been
curtalled to meet market demands,
they would curtail imports so as to as
sist in stabilizing the domestic industry.
Oil operators say it was understood
that the importers would reduce imports
this year by Is per cent of the amount
shippsd in 1890, effective last April.

Awaited in Capital.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Navy today hoped for promise
that its uniforms will not be used again
by Philadelphia police in prohibition
law enforcement.
After ordering the discharge OF one
Naval Reserve officer who allegedly used
a service uniform in a liquor case, Sec
rotary Adams asked Rear Admiral

Mayor Mackey Ito secure his co-opera-
ton in preventing recurrence Of this

Charles p. Lang, Philadelphia police
man, is the reservist who reputedly
wore a chief petty officers uniform in
arresting two men for alleged liquor
violations at the Broad street station
last June.
Secretary Adams ordered an investi-
cation, and his action was based upon
reports transmitted to him. In the
letter to Admiral Bostwick, Adams said
the use of a naval uniform by police
