MOVEMENT FOR BUYING NOW IS

People Are Spending h. stead of Ho a rding-
 Weekly Review

NEW YORK, Oct. 13-The week. 1y review of Dun -Bradstreet, Inc, issued today said the most inn pressive pickup of the fall season occurred this week in general trade movements.
 Reports from all parts of the country showed sharp increases in retail distribution particularly pro- nounced in rural communities and with a strong drive to 'buy now campaign proving powerful stim- ulus to spread the demand for merchandise.
 Handicaps Removed
 The reports were accompanied by advices that labor difficulties are being strengthened out, com pletely in some industries and partially in others, removing one of the most serious handicaps in progress during the last few weeks.
 Finances Better
 Financial conditions have be- come noticeably easier with work already under way to remove the last lingering traces of almost complete cessation of bank facili- ties of last March to the extent that the business uptrend since June has been accompanied by a stead rise in employment and in- crease in payrolls developing a new public psychology which is now one of spending instead of hoard ing.

INDUSTRIES LAG

First Six Months of Opera ton Revealed-Cood
 Points, However
By STANLEY P. RICHARDSON

MOSCOW, Oct. 13.-Results of the first six months of operation of the Soviet Unions second five year plan show that the three most important branches of in- dustry have failed to measure up to the program.
 Despite that the general indus trial plan for 1893 was much less ambitious than that for the preced- ing year, official figures show heavy industry. light industry and rail- roads substantially behind sched- ule.
 Gain Over Last Year
 Heavy industry, however, had the satisfaction of seeing a "A per cent gain in production compared to the same period in 1892.

Strong Undertone Report ed-Pinks Seem Due

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 13.-The Portland Journal says the canned salmon trade has an unusually strong undertone and while there is a certain degree of dullness pric- es are being maintained. Perhaps the strongest feature, the Journal says, is the quiet absorbing of sup plies of pinks by packers who have stocks which were allowed to re- main unsold. This, it is believed will continue and pinks will move higher.

CENTRAL BANK
 MAY BE NEXT GOVT. SCHEME
High Administration Of ficials Quietly Can
 wasting Sentiment
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, WashingtOn.)

Establishment of United States central bank, owned and operated directly by the Federal Government, is talked of among highest Administration officials.
 It is a step foreseen as a fu- ture possibility, rather than an immediate one. The discussion has gone so far, however, that the sentiment of industrial leaders is being canvassed quietly.
 From the day that MT. Roose- velt excoriorated the money changers" in his inaugural address, there has been much bad feeling between the Administration and a large section of the banking world.
 Some officials have indicated pretty plainly their conviction that the American banking system has ceased to function as intended They cite the shortage of credit, at a time when credit is badly needed for business expansion, and when the banks have huge reserves in their vaults.
 The bankers retort that the Government itself has made lend ing very difficult. and in gen. eral has put the banking com munity in an impossible posi- ton.
 Whoever may be right about this, the significant fact is that the controversy does exist. Under the circumstances, those who know the President are not surprised that he is listening to advisers who think the Government should go more directly into the banking business itself.

~ ETER RABBIT had told Sammy

you mean by that?" asked Sam

Peter gravely explained that he had
decided that this year he would be
thrifty and lay up supply of food for
the Winter just as Happy Jack SOUR

matter of fact, Sammy Jay himself
does to a certain extent.

to prevent it he chuckled.

thing amusing happened to pop into
my head just that minute. Are you
really IN earnest about being thrifty,
Peter?"
Certainly I am" said Peter. why
shouldn't I be?"
You should be-" replied Sammy.
"That is fine I'm glad to hear it. All
your friends will be glad to hear that
you are thrifty. 1 am sure they will
want to help Now if you will excuse
me I will be going along"
Sammy flew over toward the Old
Orchard, and as he flew he chuckled.

joke of the year. must pass the word

1t wasn't long before all the little

knew that Peter Rabbit was preparing
to be thrifty and there was great deal
OF winking and chuckling among them.
Blacky the Grow dropped down be-
side Peter. Il hear you are going to

said he

Blacky. "Of course you want only the

three no trumpS even with meol-
ocre supporting hand.
How Is Predicament Avoided?
The. solution to this problem lies
mainly in the treatment of the bid
ding which could SO easily lead to 1t.
Both partners can in most instances
guard against this predicament If they
take reasonable care and forethought,
and If they thoroughly understand
how to bid hands by their type as we'll
as by their strength.
The Duty Of Opening Bidder.
Since the opening bid in the first
two positions promises either a rebid
or else rebid material in reply to
certain responses, do not necessarily
open the bidding with a purely de-
fensive type of hand unless you are
prepared to bid two no trumpS In
the event that your partners first
respose is a bid Of two in a suit
which does not fit your hand. If
there is to be sign-off short OF
game, it should be in three Of your
partners suit-not in two no trumps,
Admittedly, three and a half primary
tricks are the normal requirement
for opening with defensive hand,
but it is not obligatory to open if the
high cards are confined to two suits

and an awkward two-over-one take
out is probable. With

only possible bid-one spade, then:
ta) I would not like it too well II

would have to pass, and the
hand might turn out very badly
for us.
(b) My partners most likely re-
sponse is two diamonds: this
will present a real problem to
me. The hand may be good
for three no trumps. though
my partners hand is far. from
justifying a response of two
no trumpS or three diamonds
On the other hand. If I risk

may be doubled and set Sc

(c) Subsequent bidding can be
securely handled. assuming that
my partner cannot make any
more-than-m minimum response
only if he bids two spades or
two clubs-neither of these is
likely to be his natural re-
SponSe
Positive Reasons for Passing.
From the other point of view
what am I likely to lose by passing?
If my partner cannot open with a
unlikely to have a game. If he can
open, I have my one-over-one in
spades nicely ready for him. and We
can handle the bidding deftly in a low
range. True, he might hold such a
hand as

which does not permit OF 4 standard
opening bid. but which would never
theleSS produce a no-trump game for
us with normal luck in the play. This
might be one Of the games we have
to miss. On the other hand, transfer
one of his hearts to minor suit, and
he has sound third hand opening bid
in that suit In other words, mine is
an awkward hand to open with. but
a splendid one to respond with. There

Experienced Partnerships.
I may mention that an advanced

open the bidding third hand with a
club on the responding hand given
above, though this is only three
card suit, just so as to safeguard a
situation such as this and make it
easy for his partner to pass a dubious
hand of the defensive type. The
third or even fourth hand can see
his way clear to get away from clubs.
If his partner bids no trump. he will
pass. II the partner bids a One-over-
