 FOREIGN TRADE CLEARLY SHOWN
Material Gains Made Both in Imports and
 Exports

Washington, Dec. 16-Foreign trade of the United States showed material expansion, both in exports and imports, during october, &C., cording to f. res just made public by the Department of Commerce.
 October exports were 21. per cent over September and 27 per cent over October of last year. In- creases were in both volume and value. Exports in October were valued at $1e4,000, 900, compared with $153.00O,000 the same month a year ago, and were the highest for any month since October 1881.
 Imports were valued at $751; 100000, an increase of $46,000,000 over October 1892. Steady growth in foreign business was attributed to sales abroad of increased pro- duction of industries under MIRA and their increasing need for raw materials from other countries. Gold exports for the first 10 months this year were $163,554,O00, com pared with $568,812,00O for the same 10 months of 1892.

NECROLYNCHED
 AFTER JURY HAD
 ACQUITTED HIM
Happened in Tennessee and County Officials
 Profess Ignorance

Columbia, Tenn, Dec. 16-(UP) County officials today professed to be completely mysaified as to the , size or identity of a mob which lynched a negro after he had been exonerated by a grand jury on a charge of attacking a white girl.
 The body of Cord Cheek. negro, newest victim in a series of mob outbreaks in various sections of the country, was found ranging from a cedar tree near the city last night. The body was riddled with bullets. Coroner Bert Erwin cut down the body and delivered coroner's yer dict of murder by parties un- known" No investigation was un- dertaken immediately. s
 The mob had long since depart ed when county officers arrived. They had been summoned by an ananymous telephone call. When the informal execution took place, how many composed the execution party, whether the negro was hanged and then shot or vica ver- sa, was unknown.
 Cheek was arrested Nov. 16 on a charge preferred by q II year old white girl. A mob immediately formed in front of the Maurie county jail here, while officers spirited Cheek out the back and to the safety of the Nashville jail. The mob did not disperse until it had been permitted to search the pri- son.
 The grand jury convened this week. Neither the girl nor any member of her family appeared to press the charge. The jury return- CT a no true bill and Cheek was re- leased. He returned to his home here Wednesday.
 The body was taken to mortu- ary and a large crowd stood in the street outside for several hours. There was no sign of any feeling other than curiosity and the crowd finally dispersed.

November and December statis- tics, according to current weekly indicators, generally will show a reversal of the downward move- ment in effect since July.
 These figures indicate to econ amists strengthening of the re- covery. structure. Payrolls, from MIRA activities and public works expenditures, rapidly are catching up with industrial output and thus providing purchasing power for in- dustrial products.
 Y Steel production this week ad- vanced to 30 1-2 per cent of capac- ity, building activity continued to grow with the help of federal funds and further gains were made in stock and commodity prices.
 Lumber output last week rose to 138,288,00O board feet, against 129,553,000 in the preceding week and 93,658,000 a year ago. Bitum- inous coal output rose to 6,600.O00 tons from 6,225,00O tons in the pre- vious week. Automobile output rose to 12,935 units from 10,041.

DOLLAR BUYING POWER HIGHEST
 IN MANY YEARS
Wholesale Index Reveals Purchasing Power of
 Wide Magnitude

Washington, Dec 14.-The index of wholesale prices compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the department of labor, based on 7S4 commodities, reveal that a dollar to-day will buy more merchandise than in any of the most prosperous pre-depression years.
 Only 1892 was an exception, and a very slight one, due to pitifully low wages paid to sweatshop labor and because of the unprecedented number of bankrupt sales through out the country.
 The index shows the present pur- chasing power of the dollar to be 38 per cent more than in 1924, 47 per cent more than in 1925, Al per cent more than in 1926. 36 per cent more than in 1927, 37 per cent more than in 1928, 36 per cent more than in 1929, and 23 per cent more than in 1890.
 Rises in prices have occurred on the sound foundation of increased demand through better wages, shorter hours, more equipment, and restriction of imports on for eign goods.
