1 deal with a large number of re- tailcrs throughout a large territory. offering them specific advantages in return for their continued trade"
 Asserting that chains with varied offerings can sometimes give more satisfactory service to cus- toners because they can do so much of their shopping under one roof" Filene visualized "chain department store, every depart ment of which shall be separate link in chain running through every other store in the inclusive chain"
 Scoffing at the idea that the days of individual initiative are gone, Filene said:
 Individual initiative in the re- tail business will have wider scope than ever. We must initiate ways, not only of eliminating wastes in our own business, but of eliminat- ing wastes in other businesses, and even in government - the cost of which necessarily comes out of the consumers dollar and makes it.. therefore, impossible for the mass consumer to buy as much as he might.
 I've must initiate better adver- Using. I believe in advertising, but we must learn to give the best values, and protect the public against fraudulent advertising"

(Dnlte0 FreSS t1maHclak GultOrI
 New York, Feb. S-CUP)--The stock market displayed tremendous railying power today, overcoming early weakness which had extend ed to more than 2 points and fin- ished with stronger tone with gains ranging to as much as , points.
 Trading activity, after a rather brisk opening, was curtained as traders awaited announcement of the stock market legislation bill. But this was delayed, probably to provide time for conferees or the administration to draft a bill cov- ering commodities exchanges, and in the last 45 minutes vigorous rally started with mining shares and some of the leading industriais taking command.
 There had been a number of fa- vorable factors ~or the market to overcome in addition to the mar ket legislation, advance reports of which had indicated drastic cur. tailment of marginal trading and pool trading. Other unfayorable factors included an .unfavorable General Motors sales report which was partly dissipated by the com pany statement that the unfavor- able showing oyer last January was due to difficulty in producing the 1894 models.
 Another item the market had to digest was private estimates that United seates steel shipments, due to be announced Saturday, will show sharp decrease from De- cember. This likely is due to the excellent increase in December as consumers rushed to complete ship ments prior to close of 1883.
 Favorable factors include a sharp rise in bank clearings and a firmer tone in the commodity market. The wheat market closed fractionally higher and this coin cided with tEe late start upward in the stock market.
 U. s. Smelling again command ed chief interest in the late rally, running 1p to a new 1933-34 high at 123 up points from yesterdays close. American Smelling firmed up almost point to around AS while copper Issues, including Park Utah and Anaconda, were higher in fair ly active trading. Gold mining shares showed fractional advances. General Mining was up at 105.
 American Can was the leader among the 'industrials in the late rally, advancing more than 2 points to above 103. U. s. Steel erased all of more than a point loss and showed fractional advance around 57 1-2.

Retailers Are Giuen Good Business Aduice
Edward A. FiIene Called for More Advertising Better
 Selling Methods, and Slash of Wastes

San Fran ncisco, Cal. Feb. B.
 UP) .-Better selling methods, more advertising and elimination of wastes in businesses were ad- vocated by Edward A. Filene in an address today at the retailers conference luncheon.
 Stating that none in our civiIiza- ton can earn a living in any other way than through the exchange of goods and services, t'ilene pointed out that I've have discovered such rapid methods of production that, if we do not discover equally rapid methods of selling, our whole industrial mechanism become checked with it's own product, and our economic structure falls upon our head"
 Modern mass production is i'm possible without mass buying, and mass buying is impossible without mass buying gpower, he said. urging every retailer to cooperate to the fullest extent of his powers that his goal be attained.
 For unless the masses do have ample buying power, there can be no improved retail store operation" he asserted.
 Filene advocated the lowest pos sible price for goods "bccause the lowest prices bring the largest trade and the greatest profits to our stores" and the highest possible wages because they mot only per init the greatest possible buying but they result in the best possible work" 'F.
 Speaking of production and dis tribution of goods. he stressed the necessity of having simple sys- tenn by which goods are manufac- tured, transported and sold with the least possible interruption and waste of time and effort. instead of "the slow, constantly interrupted process which Is still generally in vogue"
 He urged cooperation all up and down the. line between pro- ducer and consumer" cooperation with manufacturers, with whole salers and with everybody who is in q position to push the goods forward" because it Is that sort of cooperation (which makes low prices for goods possible and re- suits in more service to the con sumer"
 Broaching the question of the organization of a voluntary chain, f'ilene pointed out that, to- make it successful and with all sorts of over the chain system "owned by outsiders and operated from some tower in New York" the average merchant must serve the manufacturer.
 "The merchants" he said. must find the manufacturer large and valuable and steady market If they can. And to do that. they must

 While tCtaI sales in many lines leave much to be desired, the sea- sonal dullness in other lines has been shorter than usual," the Re- view said. Total volume of wool sold during January is estimated at about 20,00O,000 pounds, but currently purchases are on a very small scale. Offers made by some of the mills at slightly lower prices have not been accepted.
 "CarLet wools are somewhat slower, and prices are fairly firm. Carpet mills are busy, and the sales or floor coverings at retail are larger. Very few new orders for wool tops were received during the week, but there was more active call for deliveries on or- dcrs already placed.

 Further curtailments are re- ported Dy the mills dealing in fine cotton goods, in order to prevent the accumulation of stock. The sale of heavy cotton goods, how ever, is increasing, and stocks are being moved h considerable volume. Several of the. staple lines of print goods have been ad- vanced in price. The cotton mills now have thrilled orders amount ing to about seven weeks current production.
 There has been an increase in the demand for cotton yarns of medium and low counts, total volume of orders being much larger than for number of weeks past.
