FORCES
CLOTHING ORDERS
Retailers End Hand-to'
Mouth Buying Policy Fol-
lowed During Summer.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 28.-The
enlarged consumer demand for wear
ing apparel of all types has finally
forced retailers to abandon the hand
to-mouth buying policy, followed
through the Summer.
Substantial replacement orders are
being booked in the New York whole
sale market.
After several months of exceptional
" low volume, clothing manufacturers
were the first to feel the effects Of
sustained retail sales. Orders poured
in so fast during October that many
were prompted to advance prices. With
the approach of the holiday season
a continued broadening of consumer
demand would bring about a higher
rate of activity in this division than
has been enjoyed in some time.
While demand in the Fall lines
again was concentrated in the popu-
lar-priced brackets, a survey made by
the Fitch Publishing Co. revealed
that interest has increased materially
in higher quality grades, and sales OF
tuxedos and full-dress suits have ap-
proximately doubled those of a year
ago. The same situation was found
to prevail in the hosiery division
where a stronger demand for the
higher priced lines is expected to hold
prices unchanged on Spring lines,
which are to be opened about the
middle of December.
While shirt manufacturers have re-
ported a good pickup in orders, they
have been eager to stimulate volume
from the sluggish activity prevailing
during the Summer, and have not
yet advanced prices, despite the fact
that a 10 per cent cut in hours of
workers goes into effect on Decem-
ber l.
Retail sales of hats of all types
are reported to be running about 10
per cent ahead of last year and rush
orders placed with manufacturers in
dicate the existence of only limited
stocks in the hands of merchants.

RISE CONTINUES
At STEEL PLANTS
Production at 29 Per Cent
of Capacity Compared to
28T2 Week Ago.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 28.-"Steel
production has risen from 28l2 to 20
per cent of capacity, registering its
sixth consecutive weekly increase"
says the Iron Age. "A large part OF
the gain is attributable to heavier
orders from automobile parts makers,
although the mills are also receiving
more support from the motor car
makers themselves and from the farm
equipment industry. Still another
factor is colSraSeasonal expansion of
tin plate production from 40 to As
per cent of capacity, which is various
ly ascribed to larger exports and
heavier domestic purchases for stock.
Miscellaneous demand for finished
steel shows little expansion, and the
requirements of the railroads and the
construction industry have shown no
material increase. Hopes for further
gains in tonnage in coming weeks
are. therefore, based on the expecta-
ton that direct orders from motor
car makers will mount as soon as the
last kinks in their new-model pro-
grains nave Dtell Strengthened CuI
Whether a heavier flow of steel to
automobile manufacturers will be
offset by Tightening up of orders
from other sources as the year-end
inventory taking period approaches
remains uncertain. The increasingly
short intervals at which orders are
being received, however, suggests that
excess consumer stocks have been
liquidated and that there is little pos
sibility of further debating them.
THE Iron Age scrap index, after
five consecutive weekly advances, re-
mains stationary at $10.33 a gross
ton. The failure of scrap to con-
tinue its upward trend means moth
ing more than that higher prices
brought out scrap faster than steel
company consumption increased.
The reaffirmation of pig iron and
steel prices for first quarter will un-
doubtedly release considerable de-
layed buying. especially contract ton
mage for the first three months of
next year Nevertheless the filing of
prices has had a stabilizing effect
on the market.
Rail mills have been authorized to
book business at unchanged prices
until March l for shipment before
July l, but little tonnage is in sight.
The Iron Age composite prices for
pig iron and finished steel are un-
changed at S1795 a ton and 2.124
cents a pound, respectively.

with a special sweet embrace,
and tender reminder that she'd
call up the most insistent Of their
creditors and promise partial pay
ment within a week.
All day she pored over the new
fashion magazines, imaginatively pur-
chasing a hundred new frocks and
coats. She didn't forget, however. to
prepare supper for Mathew, which
included most of his favorite dishes.
This would be his reward.
He came home a little after 6.
Without even speaking to him, she
detected something wrong. His whole
bearing denoted failure. She stared,
broken hearted She sobbed four Bit
ter words before fleeing to her room
and locking the door,. You didn't ask
Beardsly!"
He tried to apologize. but she
wouldn't listen to the memorized ex-
cuse for his failure.
There was no breakfast for him the
next morning. With tremendous ex-
aggeration she told him that there
simply is no more money for food"
And then dangerously, "either you
ask for that raise today or expect to
move to mothers house next week!"
She wouldn't even let him kiss her
goodby as he left for the Office. Then
he became angry. From the bottom
step Of the porch he shouted: "All
right! I'll see that there's more money
in this house by Saturday or lose my
job" He strobe away without looking
back. Vivian was frightened. If he
kept that mood as far as the Office and
displayed it to Beardsly. the conse-
quences might be disastrous.
She waited apprehensively for his
return. At $50 she went to the win
dow and watched for his appearance.
At last she saw him approaching.
Her heart leaped when she noted his
buoyant step. And he was smoking
long cigar. Nobody except Beardsly
could have given him that! She ran
to greet him at the door. She trem-
bled with anticipation when he smiled
down at her.
He removed his coat with clumsy
imitation of important execu-
tive. and exclaimed: well, Peach.
guess we can afford a few luxuries
now-maybe even a car. I told
Beardsly fiat to his face that we need
ed more money, and"
Vivian thrilled. She was proud of
him then. Sweetheart! How much
of raise did you get?"
Mathews face clouded. He looked
at her blankly. Raise? I didn't get
raise. I got q job for you as fling
clerk; $17.50 a week!"

cheaply as one, but you and I must
be two other fellows"
But, Peach" protested Mathew
"I'm making $50 week."
In other words, I'm eXtravagant,
Is that it?"
"No-o-o, but"
But the fact is that in another
month we'll be so far behind that the
furniture people will be demanding
their goods back, or else. And you're
the head of your department, aren't
you? You deserve raise in salary.
You'll simply have to ask for-and
get it, tool"
Now, Peach, you know how Boards
ly is about those things! It's better
to wait until he gives it to me volun-
tarily."
Vivian bit the end of her pencil
to check an angry retort. Suppose,
then" she sighed, after a hopeless
glance at the total, that you figure
out another way to get hold of S234,
and also provide for the maintenance
of this household"
The cold numbers diSmayed him.
Pressing the advantage of his con-
sternation, she concluded, Its either
ask for that deserved raise in salary
or move back to my mothers house. p"
Mathew sprang to his feet. Now,
Peach, your mother is sweet and all
that sort of thing, but she's got her
own worries, and it'd really be an
imposition on her ah-hum-good
nature" He coughed.
ASK Beardsly tomorrow morning,
then" she demanded. you're not
afraid of him, are you?" she inquired
slyly.
Who, me? Afraid of that old
weasel? Say, Beardsly values me
highly, says there's no one as eff
cient as me in the entire Office" He
was belligerent.
We'll, then, it shouldn't be hard
to persuade him"
Mathew was caught, and realized
It with some dismay. She coaxed
him now. Then it's all settled? Oh,
there are so many things to buy once
we clear up these bills. Shoes, stock
ings, a Fall frock :. and you might
even get yourself few new neck
ties" she added generously.
"All right, then" muttered Mathew
grundgingly. He swept up the sheaf
of bills and crammed them into the
table drawer. You know" he re-
flecte6 cautiously, maybe I'd better
wait till Saturday before I ask Boards
ly about the raise. Monday Is really
a very poor day for that sort of
thing"
Vivian's pretty face began to quiver.
She was playing part, but a very
important role. 1t wasn't a case of
sanctimony. They actually needed

 ed at $525,73S,S50, an increase of $86,080,629.
 Permanent appropriations are automatic and not carried in the appropriation bill.
 Appropriations for continued air. mail and ocean mail contracts were based, the appropriations subcom- mittee reported, on the fact "the committee has no means of know ing what the right sum to appro- priate may be and, until the results of Investigations lead to 8 sound conclusion, the position of stand ing on the present rate of expendi- ture is adopted even though it may be arbitrary in character"
 The committee recommended $14,000,0OO for domestic airmail contracts, $7,00O,000 for foreign airmail contracts and $37,500,00O for ocean mail contracts. It esti- mated that of these funds a total of $40,250,000 is actual subsidies.
 The total appropriations for both departments compared with $827,- 377,1 for the present fiscal year.
 In the treasury section of the bill, $18,400,00O was recommended for the customs service, $1,500,000 less than for the present fiscal year, the reduction being based in part on the prohibition repeal sit- uation.
 Other treasury items: Internal revenue bureau, $27,- 450,520; bureau of industrial alco- hol $4,086,974; bureau of Sharcot- ics, s1,224,S99; coast guard, $18,- 249,449, or $7,523,501 under 134; public health service $9,130,837; direction of the mint, $1,10S,559. The committee, discussing the post office department appropria- tions, said the estimated gross deficit in 1895, would be $86,000,- 900 on the basis of the bill if the three cent postage rate is continued as planned.
 eff that rate should not be con- tinued there would be an estimated loss of approximately $60,000,0 in revenue and a consequent in- | crease tin the deficit to that ex- tent" the committee report said. The prohibition against any pay ! ments to the Seatrain company. under the merchant marine act mail contract is continued in the bill.
 No funds for new construction are provided for in the bill except in the case of public buildings for the completion of payments under contracts already underway. The committee estimated that PWA allotments to the two depart ments totaled $S$515,329 for pub lie buildings, coas guard and the public health service.
 "The expenditure for these funds is estimated toeproduce in excess of 132,000,000 man hours of em- ployment." the committee said. Discussing the permanent re- curing annual appropriations for the treasury, the committee said ''the amount for the treasury for the fiscal year 1884 as stated in the budget is $1.27S,731,13S. The corresponding amount for the fiscal year 1885 is estimated at $1,363,- 494,072. a net increase of $S4.762,- 934."
