Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 1.-THE Curb
Exchange hrmed up in today's inactive
session after opening virtually un-
changed.
Electric Bond and Share at times
was up a half point, with Standard
Oil Of Indiana down, about that
amount. Cities Service clung around
its proceeding close. American Gas q
Electric was unchanged. Howard O.
Skies, president, announced from the
rostrom the expulsion of Joseph Mo-
garrity Of MCCARTHY & Co. whom the
governors found guilty Of violating
sections and 8, article IT," OF the
constitution, which deals with just and
equitable principles of trade.
The opening trend was not much
influenced by the character OF over
night news, such eS the weekly trade
reviews emphasis on Christmas buying
and declining industrial operations. The
decrease in weekly car loadingS was
less than anticipated. A revision in
airmail payments long had been ex-
pected, SO today's discussions have been
discounted on the tape.
OIL issues again were offered, as fur
ther price reductions were made public.
Ohio Oil lowered some of its crude
quotations. A rise in meat packing Sc
curities, especially Swift & Co. and
Swift International. featured food
shares. Cord Corporation outdistanced
the motors. though Ford Motor OF
France and Stutz staged rallies.

CHICAGO. December 1.-THE shoe
business, which in five months of 1882
has exceeded its production for compar-
ative periods Of 1881. hopes to start the
new year with rush of buying.
Nearly 5000 shoe merchants from all
parts OF the Nation will gather In
Chicago, January Gill, to replenish
their stocks during the convention OF
the National Shoe Retailers Association
There Is reason to expect very SUBJ
stantial buying for early Spring re-
! quirements curing the convention" said
James H. Stone, manager of the asso-
citation.
Already. Mr.. Stone said. there has
oeen a noticeable acceptance" of better
grades of shoes, in response to retailers
campaigns Tor emphasis on sales Of
quality products.
Perhaps the biggest problem of the
retailer today, he said, Is To bring his
volume Of sales up to unit sales In dol
lars. Thus far many dealers have been
unable to achieve this goal. principally
because OF inability to adjust overhead
costs in the proportion that prices OF
their products have dropped.
New Department Of Commerce figures
show that the shoe trade in October, for
the fifth month this year, showed an in
crease in production over the CORE
spending month of 1881.
For the first 10 months this year.
production Of reporting plants-includ-
ing all principal factories-was 267.-
949,102 pairs. compared with 278,l66,-

Increases over 1881 production were
reported for January, February, March,

This year much advance buying nor
mally done in June. July and August

NEW YORK, December 17-Bank
clear1ngs again show heavy decline.
The total for all leading cities in the
United States, as reported to Dun'S
Review. Of s3853043 900 was $50 per

a decline of Ais per cent. while the
total for leading centers outside of New
York of S1,242, 1874 900 was 32.5 per cent

A contributing cause to the larger
loss this week was the heavy corpora
ton taxes payable on December Is,
which appeared in part in last years
clearings, but not for this week Earlier
records show that such payments this
year have been much smaller than they
were in the preceding year. The heavy
declines continue mainly at the larger
centers, among them New York City,
Boston, Chicago. Detroit, Cleveland. st.

FARM CROP ACREAGE
INCREASES DURING YEAR

By the Associated Press.
The acreage of all farm crops har-
vested this year is reported by the De-
partment of Agriculture to have totaled
352 1926 900 acres compared with 349,-
$4,000 acres last year and 35753o,0
acres two years ago.
In its final yearly report the depart
ment heretofore has included the value
of crops, but this is to be omitted from
now on until February of each year.
The reason given by officials is that the
value of crops based on December /
farm prices has not been representative
of their value. In February a report
will give the total gross income OF
farmers with the value of crops based
on the average prices for the year.

Hearing on the fight of the

Utilities Commission requiring

fore Justice Peyton Gordon.
Claiming that the average cost
Of transporting a passenger is

tend that the Utility Commission
order forces them to lose four
cents on each school child. They
attack the validity of the order
on the ground that it is con-
fiScatory.

that the commission would have
the power to enforce the order
even if Congress had not ordered
1t by an act Of February IS, 1881.

The successful candidate for

If the Constitutional amend
ment abolishing "lame duck" ses-
sions of Congress is ratified in a
year. as is expected, the date
of Inauguration of future Presi-
dents will be changed from March
4 to January 20.
Members of the Senate and
House will lose even more of the
term for which they are elected,
since under the 'lame duck"
amendment members of Congress
will take office on January 3 in
stead of March 4.
In all probability Gov. Franklin
Roosevelt or President Hoover will
