After Session of Quiet

The other feature Of the day was
the continued decline in United States

maturities setting new low marks for
the movement. A rally in the after-
noon Cancelled part of the loss.
The dollar after touching new low
came back to show a gain on the day.
French francs were of points in the

feature of the late trading in tha
stock market was the demand for

officially denied that increased taxation

that level throughout the morning. Tha
Street was just as much In the dark
as ever with regard to the monetary
intentions of Washington.
Everything considered, the stock mar
ket gave a good account of itself The
advance in the second hour was much
more impressive than the early reaction
had been and 1t was evident that fumes
were still going into equities as hedge
against imitation. 1t was not so much
speculative as an investment demand
that was in evidence The average
trader was too uncertain about the gem
eral position to take chanceG. The
decline in brokers loans revealed in the
Federal Reserve report was proof ot
that if any were needed. On the other
hand, there is very small short posi-

three years for many retailers, as there
are many more millions of persons to
spend than last Christmas, some for the
first time in two years, while many
more will have the advantage of the
pay increases granted under the provi-
sions of the N. r. A.
This last week was by far the best
week Of the Fall season for the move
ment of women's coats, mems clothing,
topcoats and shoes, with house furnish
ings and hardware bulking large in the
totals. Dress accessories, notions and
all underwear items moved particularly
we'll.
Buying of dry goods is larger than
1t was year ago, although sales have
dropped from the good level of Septem-
Der. and the same applies to groceries
and provisions. The demand for watches
and jewelry had picked up, following
the lack of interest during most of Oc-
tober. the continued rise in the price of
silver and gold being to some extent re-
sponsible for the enlarged buying. as
some advance purchases of Christmas
jewelry already have been made.
Sales of musical instruments, mclud-
ing pianos. are exceeding last years
totals, while there has been as yet no
check to the steady enlargement of

In wholesale markets increased move
ments are noted In such items as eve

home furnishings especially blankets,

Fleming Banks Head Eight Years.

President Robert " Fleming of the
Riggs National Bank was heartily con-
graduated today on starting his ninth
year as head of the big financial inst1-
tuition. His eighth anniversary was yes
terday, as he was elected president OF
Riggs on November 8, 1925, succeeding
the late Milton E. Allies
Brief reference to deposits is sufficient
to show how rapidly the bank has grown
since he grasped the helm. On the day
he took Office in 1925 deposits totaled
S36,985, 1925, while on october rs last,
the date of the controllers call, Riggs
deposits amounted to $68,339 65096. a
remarkable advance in eight brief years
To Mr.. Fleming, November is the most
important month in the year, as 1t also
includes his birthday. Only a few days
ago, November 3, he was 43 years old,
which means that he is one of the
youngest bank executives in the United
States in charge Of an institution the
size of Riggs.
The most notable incident in his
career, during the past II months was
his election as second vice president OF
the American Bankers Association at
the Chicago convention. The election
indicates beyond doubt that he will be
head of the most important banking
organization in the country in 1885, the
highest honor his fellow bankers can
bestow on anybody.
His latest distinction in finance was
his recent appointment as chairman Of
the Fifth Federal Reserve District Com
mittee Of the Federal Deposit Liquida-
ton Board, which is making a special
study Of the value of frozen assets in
closed and restricted banks and has al
ready allotted more than Sl25, 100000 to

D. c. RETAIL SALES
LOWER IN OCTOBER
Fifth District, However, Is
Above Same 1882 Month and
Tops National Average.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Department store sales in eight de-
partment stores in Washington in Octo-
Der were 6.3 per cent lower than in
october. 1882, according to the monthly
trade report received from the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond this noon.
This was slightly lower than the Sep
tember figure In the first 10 months
of the present year sales in local depart
ment stores were 10 per cent under
business transacted in the like period
0 year ago.
The Richmond bank reports that de-
partment store sales in the whole htth
Federal reserve district revealed an ag-
gregate advance of l per cent over the
same month in 1882, and for the first
10 months of this year were of only
7 per cent, compared with last year S
I0-month total.
While the fifth districts retail sales
we're l per cent ahead of last year in
October, the Federal Reserve Boards
report, also out today, showed that sales
in the United States, as whole. were
practically the same as last year.
Cumulative sales in the first 10 months
of 1888 were off exactly the same
amount as in the fifth district, 7 per
cent
Today's report frcm Richmond
shows that Lynchburg, Va, made the
best showing of any fifth district city
in october. reporting a gain OF over
20 per cent. In Charlestown, w. Va,
sales were up 10 per cent and in
group of smaller cities they were IS
per cent ahead of October, 1882 ana
as per cent above the record for the
first 10 months of last year.

Higher Quotations Quoted as Re-

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, November 1O.-Yield
rates on bankers acceptances were today
uniformly quoted ls of per cent higher
for all maturities up to 80 days follow
ing revisions by the American Accent
ance Council late yesterday.
Raising of the rate was viewed as a
precautionary measure to protect deal
ers against possible offerings of paper
IN the face Of the trend toward higher
yields from short-term United States
Government bonds. Increased invest
ment return from the latter has re-
suited from their substantial decline in
prices in the tond market.
The change lifted open market bill
rates from the record low levels which
had been maintained since August 80.
For all paper having a maturity up to

COLD WAVE SPURS
RETAIL PURCHASES
Renewed Initiation Talk Adds
Impetus to Buying
Movement.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 10.-A colo
wave in many sections of the country
benefited retail trade this week, as II
sent many buyers in search of seasonal
clothing and other necessities. This
buying movement was furthered by re-
newed talk and indications of lnfla-
ton.
The early starting of the $4,000, ,000-
900 public works program, the steady
release of funds in closed banks, and
further bonus payments to farmers
along with distribution of relief funds
the proximity of prohibition repeal, and
the resumption of wholesale buying also
were considered important factors por-
tending or indicating further gain in
retail trade
Commodities late in the week moved
upward as the dollar declined. A halt
in the rise of wage-earners' living costs,
as whole, was noted in October, ac-
cording to findings made public today
by the National Industrial Conference
Board. Retail failures during the week
were lower and bank clearings showed
q large gain.
Other developments included the Brit
ish-American debt agreement, the So
Wet American discussions, election re-
suits, and the further downward trends
observable in variety OF industrial
indices.
Recession Is Checked.
Pew of the industrial indices," re-
ports the national weekly survey of
business by Dun & BradStreet, Inc,
have been able to recover to any ex-
tent, as yet, but the. rate of recession
from last week has been only fractional
in many instances The small decline
in the rate of steel output brought 1t
about to the level of the last week of
April. Lumber production still out
strips new business, but mill inventories
are in better balance than they were
last year. While electric output rose
above the comparative totals Of a year
ago tor the twenty-seventh successive
week, the percentage of gain was the
smallest that has appeared since May
TO- Car loadings are IN excess Of the
1882 figures by little wider margin
than last week, while the rise in bank
clearings Is the most substantial that
has occurred since last July"

In the Richmond district, "a stores

1898, sales in comparison with sales
in october, 1882. Seven of the IL Re-

were relatively large and prevented the
Nation from showing a gain for the
