CHICAGO. November 25.-Ieaders in
the mems apparel business predict the
industry's sales volume for the holiday
season will run at least 20 per cent
ahead Of last years.
The forecast is made on the basis of
Nationwide survey just completed by
the National Association of Retail
Clothiers and Furnishers.
Sales have displayed consistent i'm
provement during the last few months,
the survey indicates. with the chance
that total sales Of 1888 will equal those
for 1882, perhaps exceeding them.
To rising prices is attributed the in
creased busineSS-which is in dollar
volume rather than unit volume. Higher
prices, say leaders in the industry, have
not caused any appreciate curtailment
In the number Of suits or overcoatS sold.
For october, 20 per cent Of the mer-
chants reporting to the Associations
Business Committee declared business
was much better" than for the same
month Of 1892; 40 per cent said 1t was
better" while II per cent said 1t was
the same" and 10 per cent reported
mot as good"
About Sc per cent of the reports
stated business was better in October
than September, and IL per cent said
sales volume was about the same. On
an average, the associations stats
ticians estimate, a suit retailing for S25
last year Is being sold for about $50 to-
day, a $295 hat for $3.50. a SIS pair Of
shoes for Sc and 81 95 shirt for $3.50.

Foreign Markets

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. November 25.-Cables
and wireless dispatches to Business
Week give the following survey Of bust
ness abroad for the week ending today:
Berlin-The easier trend on German
money markets continued this week,
with stocks joining bonds in the general
price advances. Industrial activity Is
we'll maintained, especially in the steel,
coal and automobile industries.
The recent slow recovery in foreign
trade continued through october. Elk
ports increased per cent, indicating
to Germans that incipient improve
ment in world trade has helped to offset
effects of the boycott.
General. but slow. improvement in
German economy continues over wide
front. The most marked gains are in
agriculture. Exchange difficulties and
import restrictions have made it pos
sible for Germany to raise much
than ever before. 1t is admitted that
under normal conditions q part Of the
expansion that has taken place in ag-
riculture would not be justified. but
difficult there is little choice. 1t has
opened an important avenue for the
reduction Of unemployment at time
when this was most important.
British Are Hopeful.
LONDON. -Britain's wave of recovery
has continued encouragingly this week.
October trade returns, just announced,
show that exports are more than
f4,500,000 greater than in September,
slightly less than 100000 larger than
in october Of last year. OF the increase
this year. manufactured goods made up
nearly f3,500,000. Textile exports &C
counted for nearly one-third Of this.
The national scheme for the reorgan-
ization of the steel industry is making
sluch rapid progress that the president
of the Board of Trade has assured the
industry that protective tariffs will be
continued. Rail traffic continues to in
crease steadily. Imperial Gable reports
that october traffic touched high for
the year. Figures for motor manufac-
turing have also improved markedly.
The end of prohibition in the United
States has naturally aroused widespread
interest. British brewers and distillers
are inclined to be cautious. They ex-
pect some measure of restriction, either
on imported liquor as such or in the
form of special bottles or bottle guam
titles. When the exact position is
known their sales attack will begin in
earnest. The general assumption here
Is that American whisky consumption
will show big decline on pre-prohi-
bition figures

Chicago Top Declines to 1895.
Cattle and Sheep Remain
Nominally Steady.

CHICAGO, November 25.-Hcgs were
fairly active today, but mostly to 10
cents lower than Fridays quotations.
The top dropped to $685. with the bulk
Of good hogs from $3.50 to 1855.
Supplies were light at 1000 head and
included 5000 direct to packers Trade
today was from Is to so cents below
quotations paid last Saturday when the
sellers strike was ending and all inter-
estS were buying at S4.25 and S435 for
best offerings.
Cattle were nominally steady and
generally strong TO rs cents higher than
last Saturday when prices were at
1888 year low.
Sheep also were nominally steady and
generally around rs cents higher than
week ago.
Reduced supplies were noted in all
divisions of the market, but served as a
bullish factor only in cattle and sheep.
Hog trade was distressed by uncertain
ties over the processing tax which jumps
to $3.50 a hundred next week from the
present tax of so cents.
The market for dressed pork was
also weak. having dropped from SIS and
SIC early this month to around ST
and So.

METAL PRICES EASE;
TRADING is SLOW
Decline in Foreign Exchange Brings
Lower Trend in Tin and
Copper Markets.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, November 25-Metal
markets were generally quiet this week,
but the undertone was somewhat easier
in several instances largely because Of
easier foreign exchange. Tin prices
were off about cents per pound from
the midweek high in sympathy with
lower sterling.
Foreign consumers who had been the
principal sustaining interests in the
copper market withdrew or lowered
their bids when the dollar strengthened
in foreign exchange. Some resale metal
was said to have become available al
Slight concessions under the basis Of
84 cents for electro,ytic being quoted
by custom smclters.
Zinc displayed a firm undertone, al
though the price was unchanged and
buying was on restricted basis.
Lead was quiet and unchanged. al
though some buyers were said to have
been unsuccessfully seeking concessions.
Anthony was quiet but steady, recent
business having been confined 10 small
prompt lots at unchanged prices.
Steel production was being maintained
at about the recent rate as a result of
some public works releases, rail awards
and miscellaneous buying.

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY ii. n. McGILL,
Editor McGiu Commodity Service. Inc.


AUBURNDALE. Mass, November Is
P).-Commodity prices during the
fourth week In November failed to con-
tinue the upward trend that prevailed
during the early part Of the month.
During the last week the index for all
commodities declined. The continual
ton of the gold plan has not resulted
in confidence or aggressive buying.
A check-up clearly shows that indus
try is not responding to the gold theory
because inventories were built up quite
extensively earlier in the year.
The public is not buying because the
purchasing power does not exist which
will permit capitalization of an tndi-
Gated rise in the commodity price level
Commodity prices also are rejecting
the apprehension over infationary
trends. as the figures available show
that the cost OF financing this recovery
is resulting in expenditures far in ex-
cess of actual revenue. During the last
week only one group advanced out OF
IA individual claSsifcations, six regis
tering declines, while seven remain IN
changed.
Industrial commodity prices averaged
moderately lower. Generally speaking,
price fluctuations in the industrial
most important industrial commodities
moved on a sideWise course.
Farm Prices Decline.
Agricultural prices registered a severe
decline, particularly in view of the
many plans now in operation to elevate
the price level Of agricultural products.
The principal price weakness was noted
in wheat, corn, cats, barley, rye, cotton
faxseed, butter and eggs.
Live stock quotations also moved
downward, the decline being directly at
tributable to lower prices for hogs.
The seven groups that recorded no
price change during the week were
building materials. chemicals, fuels
non-ferrous metals, ferrous metals,
paper and pulp and coarse textiles.
The only group that advanced during
the week was hides and leather and
the increase was due to a mark-up in
the price of hides which are now quoted
at 1912, as compared with a low of 9
cents last month.
Paint materials and vegetable oils
averaged lower, due primarily to the
sharp decline this month in linseed OIL
The price Is now quoted at go cents for
CARROTS. as compared with high earlier
in the month Of 81 cents.
Rayons and Woods Steady.
Fine textiles failed to move upward
even with the pressure of the cotton
plan. Although rayons and wool prices
held steady, substantial price weakness
featured certain cotton goods and the
price of cotton was alos lower than a
week ago. Silk prices registered sharp
decline.
Most important price changes in the

Bic CHANGE DUE
IN AUTO DESIGNS
General Motors Announce
ment of New Springing Is
Not Unexpected.
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, November 25.-Announce-
ment by General Motors Corporation
that independent front wheel springing
will be featured in its 1894 models was
not entirely unexpected in automobile
trade circles.
Independent wheel suspension, as the
engineers describe the principle. is. like
several other innovations in American
motor car design and construction, an
importation from Europe 1t made its
appearance on the Continent nearly a
decade ago. American automobile en-
gineers who saw the original devices
abroad held at that time that the prin-
ciple probably was born of necessity
rather than Of a desire to effect an
improvement in structural design. They
pointed out that highways abroad re-
quired greater shock absorbing facilities
tina ndid those of the United States.
While the absorption of road shock,
elimination of wheel "shimmy," and
riding comfort are claimed as advan-
tages of the new principle Of suspen-
sion, reduction In weight to be
achieved by the absence of a heavy
front axle also Is pointed to as one of
the desirable results of the new plan
Of design. The reduction of the gross
weight Of an automobile without re-
ducing its sturdiness long has been an
objective of automotive engineers, and
it has been with this end in view that
the never-ending experimentation Is en-
with metal allows.

Other Changes Due.

Automotive engineers who have been
looking constantly into the future say
that the adoption of independent
wheel suspension is only one step in the
direction Of radical changes in the
basic design of motor cars. Some of
these engineers go so far as to say
that the next step will be the elimina-
ton of the chassis as a separate unit
Of the automobile. Construction of
body and framework in one piece has
been discussed in engineering circles
fer several years and those of the en-
gineers favoring it ask what purpose
is served by separate chassis and body,
anyway"
The automobile, say these technical
authorities of the industry. has been
handicapped by the fact that it Is the
offspring of the horse and buggy. The
independent wheel suspension, they ex-
plain, is one of the first steps away
from the heritage that came to the
motor car from the horse-drawn We

Facing 4 Hard Task

In prosperous years when lax
money rolled in like stream OF gold,
our school authorities were able to
spend lavishly for educational facili-
ties. People demanded the best and
they got it.
Now tax money is slow in reaching
the Golfers Of the public. When 1t
comes, the amount Is much less.
Necessarily budgets must be curtailed
and reduced in . most drastic man
ner.
The Bismarck school authorities
are facing their task courageously
and unafraid. It Is the only policy.
There are frills which appeal to many
in days Of plenty. but In lean years
emphasis must be placed upon essen
tials in education. The pedagogic
window dressing must go by the
boards.
It Is often . we'll founded criticism
that modern education pays too much
attention to front and not enough
to the basic elements Of education.
Too often the Three RS are neg
lected while questionable departments
are fostered at their expense. Now
that budgets have been curtailed,
those in charge of the destinies OF
our elementary schools might find it
profitable to drill into the students
those basic principles which are 50
needed in LIES struggle.
Some fine tid-bits in the educa-
tional menu may be missing under
present conditions, but enough money
will be available for those subjects
most essential a genera
ton or so ago.
Every cloud has a silver lining.

Where Credit Is Due Z

While several windy politicians are
going up and down the state claim
ing credit for reduced state appro-
priations and budget slashes, it might
be well to keep the record straight
and explain why there has been tax
reduction.
Regardless of the merits or de-
merits Of the present situation, the
fact is that the voters Of the state,
and they alone, can take credit for
the tax reduction. They did 1t at
the polls when they voted for q fifty
per cent valuation for tax purposes.
The people OF the state should not
let q few rabble rousing politicians
get away with any Of that credit.
II q lower tax rate had not been
ratified by the people of North Da-
kota, the burden would have been
but slightly reduced. Now 1t Is . case
Of grim necessity. Why put wings
on shoulders which do not deserve
them?
