in 1882. to $160,574,8T5 by the

cording to figures released to-

A. j., Maxwell, chairman. of the
board. The valuation. of the

this year boosted these figures

One of the principal reasons
for the decrease in the valua'

is agreed, is the heavy deprecia'

VIENNA. Sept. 22.AUP).-
Monarchists were optimistic last
night that the new dictatOrial
regime moulded by Chancellor En-
colbert Dollfuss would speed the
restoration of the ancient Haps-
burg line to the throne in Austria.
Chancellor Dollfuss's new cab
met admittedly was strongly Fas-
cist in temperament. The chan
cellor thoroughly reorganized his
cabinet. and himself took over five
of the major portfolios.
Monarchists hailed the dicta-
torial tendency and the personnel
of the new government as moving
"the restoration" several steps
nearer. They pointed out that five
members of the cabinet openly
have espoused the Hapsburg
cause. while two others are known
secretly to have expressed them
selves similarly. =
The appointment ; of Prince
Schoenburg Hartenstein as state
secretary for national defense, un-
der Dollfuss, cheered not only the
Monarchists but all members of

RETAILERS FIGHT ON PRICE
FIXING IS GAINING POWER:
SENTIMENT NOT UNANIMOUS
NRA Publicity Staff De-
tends Scheme; Consum-
ers' Division Also Is
Opposed To Move

|, WASHINGTON, Sept. % (UP)
The retail price fixing battle,
heretofore restricted to minor
skirmishes, broke out in earnest
last night as mail order houses
and cut-rate department stores
and drug chains pledged a flight
to the finish against the price
provisions of the retail and drug
codes.
A CONSUMERS revolt" if the
price fixing provisions become
operative was predicted, and the
merchants said they would carry
their fight directly to President
Roosevelt if necessary.
At the same time, the NRA
.pubicity staff made public state
ments defending price fixing.
The price fixing provisions. +
M. Schnadig, president Of the
mail order association Of Amer
lea, said. would result in forcing
prices up to a level ten per cent
above the wholesale price paid
by "the corner store buying in
the smallest quantities" The
result would be prices far higher
than necessary for successful
mercantile operation, he insisted.
Representatives of Sears Roe
buck & Co.. Montgomery Ward
& Co., the Chicago Mail Order
Co.. r. II. Macy & Co., of New
York, Lansburgh Bros, of Wash:
ing the Katz Drug Co., OF
Kansas City and other large re-
tail merchants Joined in last
nights vigorous protest.
Under the retail code, prices
to the consumer must be ten per
cent above the highest wholesale
price paid in each marketing
area. Under the code, trade
5r!iarked goods could not be re-
tailed at less than 81 per cent
below the manufacturers list
prices.
"These provisions are utterly
uneconomic and unavoidable, v
Schnadig said. "They will cur
tail distribution, reduce employ
ment and seriously mitigate miti-
gate against national recovery.
When the public understands
that the effect of the proposed
retail codes is to add to the costs
of distribution and to enable
manufactures TO increase their
profits at consumers expense,
there will be a buyers strike"
The consumers division of the
NRA has made it known that it
will join in the fight against the
price fixing provisions on much
the same basis as that stated by
the merchants.
On the other hand. the NRA
issued the text of a letter from
William H. Hager, president of
the Pennsylvania Retailers asso-
citation, urging that the price fix
ing provisions be maintained as
in the present draft of the code
because any weakening Of them
would discourage and disheart-
en- the thousands of small retail
ers who are sincerely enthusiast
tic in their support Of the re-
tailers CODE"
Harry Van Horn, president of
the National Association of Bet
ter Business Bureaus, also de-
Tended the price provisions.

JOAN HELLERICH ADDS YOUTHFUL FEMININE TOUCH TOLEGISLATURE

There is new addition to leg islative circles in Juneau.
 She is Miss Joan Hellerich daughter of Representative George Hellerich, of Nome.
 Although she is only three years old. Joan is quite a travelled and experienced young lady She flew all the way from Nome to Cor dova then came by ship to Juneau an enjoyed the novelty of going some place every day.
 Since the beginning of the Leg islature she has been in Sitka with her maternal grandmother, Mrs J. L. Brightman, who brought her to Juneau yesterday on the Ad- miral Watson.
 Mrs. Brightman and Joan are staying at the Gastineau, But much of their time is spent with Mrs FraWley, wife of Senator James Frawley of Nome, who helped MT Hellerich keep an eye on Joan during the trip from Nome.

concern transferring its activities to the Admiral Dock. However the arrangement which has been in effect for many years between the transportation company and the City, whereby the latter looks after the handling of the freight and the collection of accounts, has proved so satisfactory to every body concerned that it has been decided to make no change at this time.
 One Stipulation
 The only stipulation that MT Tracy, in behalf of his company insisted that the City should agree to was a guarantee that the area in the vicinity of the City Wharf should be kept clear of small boats whose presence would in- terfere with the safe docking ci the company's ships. He called attention at a conference with the Council last night to the fact that several accidents have occur red to small boats moored at the City float in the path of the ves- sels as they came into berth at the wharf.
 The City authorities have given satisfactory assurance that this

matter will be taken care of. In- structions have been issued to Chief of Police c. J. Davis to strictly enforce the ordinance that forbids the mooring of the boats at the City float for a period longer than 30 days, and to clear out all craft whose presence would obstruct the navigation of the large ships arriving and departing at the City wharf.
 Chief Davis points out that there are ample mooring facilities at the lower City float, near the Alaska Juneau rock dump, and a number of gasboat owners have shifted their anchorage from the upper float to the lower float this week.

The stock market today made
efforts to resume the advance in

further pressure on wheat.
The result was another dull and
lethargic session with the MAORI

Liquors and Oils in Lead
The liquor shares and oils
gave the best performance. The
former we're stimulated by the
Missouri repeal victory and the
latter by the signing of the pc

Utilities ran counter to the
trend, depressed by the rate cut

however. Woolworth was an
other heavy spot.

code on Saturday was helpful

NEW YORK, Aug. 81 GN.S).
This week opens with the out
look still clouded and with the
stock market right back where
it started. This is somewhat en-
couraging, since events in the
grain markets between last Mon
day and Friday were not calcu-
lated to spur spectators for the
advance. Short selling is very
likely to prove improbable for
the average amateur trader.
The market is extremely thin
and it takes very little stock on
either side to cause wide fluctua-
tions.
Rumors of initiation, which do
not come from Washington, are
bringing disappointed long selling.
Nevertheless initiation is al

to occur again.
