Government to Share Its
Business NewsWith Trade
BY HARDEN COLFAX,

For the first time the private busi-
ness man-the small merchant, as well
as the larger house-is to have immedi-
ately available to him the results OF
Investigations and studies of business
problems by the agencies of the Fed
eral Government and commercial or
CARNATIONS.
AS the result of cooperative agree
ment concluded this week between the
Department of Commerce, the Ma
tional Association of Commercial Or
ganization Secretaries and the Cham
ber of Commerce Of the United States,
individual business concerns of the
country will now be able to utilize to
the full the results of all the research
of these general agencies into the prob
lens of marketing and practical mer-
chandising.
This movement is being furthered
through the local chambers of COM
merce and other business bodies. 1t
means that the "a district Offices of
the Department of Commerce through
out the country. the regional Offices of
the national chamber and the nearly
$4,000 member organizations that are
associated with the trade secretaries
will be centers at which the local busi-
ness man, whether he be the butcher.
the baker or the candlestick maker"
can find already briefed for him in
formation of the most practical nature
which modern American organized
ness experience.

The method. which has already been

supplying local business bodies with
digests. arranged in a practical way,
of studies into merchandising prob
lens and reports of successful expert
ences. These digests will be kept cur
rent and the local bodies will offer
them to merchants and manufacturers
to aid them in solving their practical
everyday marketing and operating diff
ficulties.
In explaining the arrangement. Fred
erick M. Feiker, director of Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
points out that 1t has been made in
response to the requests of many
thousands of individual business men,

number of years the department has
been building up clearing house of
information as to new marketing

suit of scientific research and the ex-
perience of successful going concerns.
This has developed some intensely prac-
tical information concerning market
analysis. store arrangement. costs Of
distribution, credit. advertising, train
ing of sales force, controlling stocks,
managing delivery service, chain store
methods and various other phases of
wholesale. retail and industrial distri-
button.
The department heretofore has been
regularly and directly replying to re-
quests for information of this kind
and last year it extended such serv-
ices to more than three-fourths of a
million business men and concerns.
Now the favorable position of local
commercial organizations for giving di-
rect aid to individual merchants and
manufacturers in their communities is
to be employed to the full

There was lady who in wrath complete
Dismissed the suitor kneeling ut her
feet.
She warned him, II have spoken once
for all,
This word of mine I never shall recall
You need not telephone your grief to
tell
Save now and then perhaps to say
FAREWELL"
A few days sped along and she was seen
With smiles for this same suitor, all
serene.
Why" she was asked, do you permit
this joke
After the words Of parting that you
spoke?"
Said she. II say, like nations, as the
talk extends.
What is an ultimatum among friends?'"

BU[[SPUSH STOCK
| LIST TO NEW HIGH
Numerous Gains Are Record.
! ed in Heavy Week End
Trading Session.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,

NEW YORK, September 3.-The bull
drive in stocks was pressed vigorously
forward In one of the busiest Saturdays
of the year in the stock exchange today.
Week end proft-taking was barely
notice, as a sharp gain in freight car
lcadings and confident predictions of a
pickup in steel production prompted
heavy buying.
Extreme gains ranged from 1 to S
points throughout the list, and closing
prices were not far from the top, al
though a little prof1t-taking developed
in the last few minutes.
The turnover approximated two and
q half million shares. in the two hours
of trading, which was at the pace OF
about 6,000,00o shares for full session.
The movement in shares was helped
by further recovery in bonds. and
good tone in principal commodities.
Brokers said public interest in the mar
ket had continued to increase with buy
ing coming from many parts OF the
country.
Utilities and industrials led the days
forward movement, with rails perform
ing more sedately. The weekly frelght
car loadings report, while coming up to
optimistic forecasts, had apparently
been partially discounted in advance.
Several of the steels again reached
new highs for the year, with Bethlehem
rising more than points, and Youngs-
town Sheet & Tube. Gulf States Steel,
Republic, and McKeesport moved up
about 2 points In the utilities and
communications, American Telephone
gained 2, Western Union 5. and North
America, Consolidated Gas and others,

United Aircraft, which has been the
subject of gossip of pool activity. shot
up about points. Miscellaneous is

cluded Santa Fe, Eastman, Case, Allied
chemical, Woolworth and Safeway.
while issues up point or so included
General Motors, Standard of N. j., Du-
Don't, Union Pacific, Baltimore g. Ohio
md others. U. S. Steel rose more than
a point to a new high for the recovery
above 81, and within about a point OF
the 1882 high reached in February.
The price average of 80 representa-
tive issues actually pushed through to
new high ground for 1882, getting a
shade above the high of March.

he couldn't get in.
Then he remembered vaguely that the window

Fran tried to forget Mary's disturbing words
in watching the game. The pitchers battle
continued but Bob Wayne showed signs of
weakening. In the fifth inning Chelten punched
three hits for a run, and only a circus catch
by the Carpenter left fielder prevented several
more from scoring.
While Carpenter went scoreless Chelten got
to Bob again in the sixth. With one out he
walked a man, and the next hitter drove one
sharply at Buzz. Fran leaped to her feet. 1t
was an easy double play, but this was the kind
of ball that Buzz couldn't handle.
He made a desperate effort to take it. and
managed to get his body in front of it. but his
stop was far from clean. The ball struck his

he could pick it up, runners we're safe on both
