z opened with bid of 1-No
Trumps. Y overcalled with 2
Clubs. When 2 went 2No
Trumps, Y bid 3-No Trumps, as
game at Clubs seemed too much
to expect unless game could be
made also at No Trumps.
A led his 6 of Spades. B won
with the @, and led back his
K, so not to block the free run
of the suit. The ordinary
mechanism of the game would
be the play of AS 7 upon his
partners K. Then if B had an.
other Spade to lead, A would
win the third and fourth tricks.
Looked at from a more expert
standpoint, A did not care to be
in the lead at the end CT the
fourth trick. If B happened to
hold the 8 of Spades, A wanted
B to hold that trick, and then
to lead hearts to Dummy's weak
ness. If 2 held a low spade,
AS AT would be tenace over
the Declarer's $40, enabling A
TO pick both of them up. Hav
ing IN mind the hope that B
could win the third trick with
the 8, A ducked his j under BIS
K. Then when B showed up
with the 8, A dropped his 7 IN
DER 1t, leaving B in the lead,
just as A had hoped might be
the case.
OF course B was obliged to
lead up to dummy's greatest
weakness, so that K or O in
AS hand might win on a
tlnesse of hearts. Having four
hearts, B naturally had to lead
his 3. He saw no reason for
false carding.
On its face the refusal of A
10 at once win his four spade
tricks showed that he must
hold the K of Hearts, but
there was a bare possibility
that A was striving to give
the declarer a wrong impress
sion. hoping to scare z into
playing the Ace of Hearts
when B really holds the K, AS
A had foreSeen might happen,
z put up his Ace of Hearts,
deciding that an even chance
to guess correctly where the @
OF Diamonds lay, was better
than almost certainly going
down one trick if Heart
finesse lost to the K.
Forced to Discard
The declarer ran off five
clubs, forcing all players to
discard upon dummy's long
chance. B discarded two
Hearts and one Diamond. z
discarded one spade and one
heart. A first discarded one
Heart, then one Diamond. A
knew that it would be unwise
first to discard a diamond, as
though he did not hold any.
thing in that suit. Good play
ers do not advertise weakness;
they let the declarer guess.
The declarer almost certainly
would have guessed that A
held the missing @ of Dia-
monds in case A went out of
his way to deny possessing it.
The regulation discarding of
A left the declarer in a fog
as to the location of the @ of
Diamonds. He had to guess.
He led the 8 from dummy.
Then he hesitated when B
played the 3. z did not know
whether to put up his Ace,
and fineSse back towards
dummy, or to let the 9 cover,
and Immediately finesse. The
declsrer finally decided to
fineSse his of Diamonds. A
won the trick; then A took his
good Spade and his good Heart
defeating the contract by two
tricks.

AUTO PRODUCTION
IS GEARED TO SALES
Dealers Stocks of Old Models Are
Now Reported at Low Point
Throughout U. S.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, October 15.-Current low
rate production in the motor car indus
try. disappointing as it is to the trade,
may pave the way to quicker con-
sumner reaction to new models expected
to be presented around the end Of the
year and at show time in January.
One of the big problems confronting
the automobile industry at the time new
models are brought out-whether it be
Midsummer or in the final months of the
year-always has been to get dealer
stocks cleared out before the new models
are ready for the sales campaigns.
Thus, sales directors Of the industry say,
1t Is not the new models that compli-
cate the dealer situation; it is the clean
ing up OF old models at the same time
new types are presented.
Dealers stocks are reported at present
to be lower than usual This fact and
the sharply reduced output Of the fac
tories are giving the dealer greater op-
portunity than ever before to dispose of
old types before next years models are
ready for delivery. The situation is not
an accidental one. it is part of the in
dustry's effort to adjust itself to the
changing conditions developed during
the last three years
The industry has drawn many lessons
from these three years. 1t has found
first of all that only through the great
est cooperation between producer and
distributor could the industry avoid a
complete drying up Of its market. While
the actual registration of new cars for
1882 may be only slightly over 100000
units. the factory output will show only
small excess over sales. The result
will be no load to carry over into 1888
to be sold at either a very small margin
of profit or an actual loss by the dealer
hurrying to clean out old models in
preparation for the new,

up the gains made Friday junior rail-
road bonds today advanced L to X

The best advances in the railroad

in Erie SIS, st. Paul SIS and st. LOUIS

generally has followed rather than led
that in speculative railroad stocks.
Unusual strength was shown in inter-
national Match convertible S. up a

considerable foreign buying OF the

filing claims under the bankruptcy act

phone convertible 4 IS rose over point,
while American & Foreign Power 5S
gained fractionally.
The German issues, which have been
the feature Of the foreign market re-
Gently, were irregular, the Young Plan

the Dawes Preparations Is, on which the
semi-annual interest is payable today,
were fract.onally higher. PruSsian IS

in Industry.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. October 15.-The cur
rent tsue Of Bradstreet's Weekly says
Business continues on the upward
path. Reports to Bradstreet's Weekly
from SIS leading cities are preponder-
antly on the plus side. Most of the
gains are Of a seasonal nature, but a
numhr Of cities report the volume of
retail sales as up to or better than a
year ago Low prices and special sales,
coupled in quite a few instances with
lnrealingly heavy advertising. are still
being used TO attract the public. Cooler
weather, however would recently seem
to be the most stimulating influence in
a go<d many sections.
Steady Betterment.
"Ihe slow, steady betterment shown
in the trade reports for the past few
weeks, coming on top of and justifying
the Midsummer optimism, has laid a
firm foundation for resistance. Activity
in certain wholesale lines lends weight
10 this conclusion. Nearly all sections
report the shoe and leather trade as
good in numerous cases even better
than last year. Dry goods and Fall
weaving apparel do not make quite as
good showing, but there is a good
sprirkling Of encouraging items. Hard
ware paints and electrical goods are
experiencing good activity, with a ten
denG for orders on hand to accumulate
n addition, the better tone in retail
tra6 already noted is lending further
incentive toward stocking up by
merhants. Nothing extraordinary can
be expected in this direction, but here
and there replenishment of bare shelves
by retailers is disclosing the insuffi-
cienW Of wholesalers stocks and Gre
atina a mild scramble for goods.
The manufacturer, of course, Is the
last Ink in the chain to feel the effects
Of aly improvement in consumption
Some small betterment in orders, how
ever, would seem to be reaching the
lightg industries in certain sections,
though the improvement is still at best
slumhring in their Midsummer stagna-
ton. This applies even more generally
to the heavy industries, though the out
look br building materials continues to
brighten. The belief that bottom has
been eached for construction, plus the
