NEW YORK, September 14-An
increase in net electric output of 80
per cent over August of last year was
reported by the Associated Gas &
Electric System. Units (kilowatt
hours produced totaled 252, OPT $50.
This is the largest percentage increase
reported for any month since April,
1884. For the IL months ended Au-
gust 81, output was 2,S26,l56, 92S
units, which was AZ per cent above
the previous comparable period.
Electric output has been improving
constantly since last May when COM
pared with corresponding periods of
last year. This has been due to in
creases in all classes of consumption

tically unchanged at 1,3l5,5l2,700

WOOL CONSUMPTIONHITS
BEST LEVEL SINCE 1913
Goods Markets Absorbing Output of
Mills Readily-Retail Stocks
Declared at Low Ebb.

from the Spring clip Of 1886. The
surplus will be used up this year.
Foreign markets are so high that
American mills cannot afford to enter
them for supplies. The tight foreign
wool situation Is largely due to entry
into that market of Japanese textile
interests on a big scale. Japanese,
you see, are not only troublesome in
cotton textiles, but they are going
great guns on wooden fabrics. And
their operations in cheap silk goods
also are an unSettling factor.
Prices Of wool top futures moved
into new high ground early in Sep
TENDER, under the influence of de-
creasing supplies and increasing con-
sumption. Domestic wool production
was draStically reduced this year,
dropping below 400. 100000 pounds for
the first time since 1929. Factors in
this decrease were last years drought
and heavy slaughter continuation of
drought conditions early this year,
along with dust storms and poor
range conditions, high feed costs and
lighter fleeces with higher ratio Of
wastage.

ADVANCE IN COPPER
PRICES NOW HINTED
Active Demand and Fewer Offer

Metal Market.

bS lilc hsoONlabcb ANSS'
NEW YORK, September IA re-
newal of active demand for copper
and reports of restricted offerings by
producers accompanied rumors OF a
pending price advance in this metal
this week.
Although leading producing inter-
ests were said to have given asSur-
ance that no rise in quotations was
contemplated, the demand from do
nestle consumers was undated late
in the week despite the heavy pur-
chases of July and August when re-
quirements through November were
said to have been filled.
Electrolytic was still being quoted
at 81 cents a pound, Connecticut
Valley points, or y cent above the
Summer low level but still y cent
under the old N. r. A. code price.
Buyers were said to be taking De-
cember needs, with purchases aver
aging well over 5000 tons daily in
the latter part Of the week. The ex-
port market was buoyant on good de-
mand.
Other metals were moderately &C
tive and steady. Tin, which had
eased early in the week, later turned
firm to show a net gain of slightly
more than u cent a pound in SYM
pathy with the action Of London and
a favorable view of the International
Tin Committee ruling continuing the
fourth quarter production quota at
IS per cent of the 1929 level.
Demand for lead increased, and
consumers showed more interest in
October needs. Sales equaled smell

ADVERTISING PEAK
REACHED BY SEARS.
Company Gratified With Re-
suits From Record News
paper Space Used.

Expenditures for newspaper adyer-
Using last year reached the highest
point in Sears, Roebuck & Co.'S his
tory, it became known yesterday
when a report issued by G. w. Cum
bingham, general advertising man
ager for the company, was received
by L. T. Conway, manager for Sears
In the District of Columbia.
Prepared for and presented at
series of advertising and sales promo
ton meetings at which preliminary
plans for the company's forty-ninth
anniversary celebration, September 10
TO october 5, were laid, the report
showed an expenditure of s9,178,8s2
in 1884 with 85l newspapers in the
43 States in which the company's
more than 400 retail stores are located.
This was 24.3 per cent greater than
the sum spent for newspaper adver-
Using in 1888, the year when the
largest previous expenditure was re-
corded, and 427 per cent above the
1882 figure.
Sales Show Large Gains.
"The response gained from in
creased newspaper advertising appro-
priations last year was particularly
gratifying" read Mr.. Cunningham's
statement. "Our sales exceeded those
Of 1888 by II per cent.
Consistent newspaper advertising,
we believe, has been one of the most
potent factors in stimulating the re-
turn of better business. In practical
ly every State where there are Sears
stores more money was spent with
the newspapers last year than in the
peak year Of 1929. Our appropriation,
which in 1884 passed the $4,000 900
mark for the first time, was So per
cent greater than, that of 1880, 81
per cent over that of 1881, 43 per
cent above 1882 and "a per cent
higher than 1888"
The Sears report revealed $427,233
has been spent for space bought in
District of Columbia's newspapers in
the past five years and that the total
amount spent for newspaper adver-
Using here last year was Is per cent
more than in 1898.
1t showed a total expenditure with
the newspapers Of the country during
the past five years of SIS, 662 1888 or
an average of $19,530 for every day,
including all Of the depression period.
Eve felt substantially increased
newspaper advertising budget last
year was justified in the light Of q
more encouraging business outlook
generally" Mr.. Cunningham reported.
TOO, sales resistance during and
while emerging from the depression
quite naturally has been stronger than
it was some years ago, and more
advertising than ever before has been
needed to convey our message force
fully to the public.
1.-THE fact that our expenditures
with the newspapers reveal increases
in 80 States from California to Maine
and from Washington to Florida, in
dicates, we believe, the widespread
distribution of this more generous use
of newspaper space in 1884 and again
reiterates our conviction that the
newspaper, year in and year out, is
most efficient medium for our retail
stores"

FURNITURE ORDERS

Bookings Not Protective
Measures as Was Case
at That Time.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, September 14.-Feelers
of the national business pulse have
found pronounced satisfaction in the
most recent reports from various
branches of the furniture trade.
Particular significance is attached
to the improved tone in furniture, in
asmuch as trade reports in this in
duStry reflect in an unusual manner
because of its nature, the temper OF
consumers. Demand in this field is
held to be an exceedingly sensitive
barometer of general business condi-
lions.
All Divisions Get Share.
The latest statistics available from
furniture makers, supplied through the
National Association of Furniture
Manufacturers, today showed July to
have been the best furniture month
since 1888. resulting largely from the
markets that month.
In July, the association survey said,
substantial gains in orders were re-
ported in all divisions. Cancellations
were low, indicating that orders were
bona flde and not protective meas
ures. as was the case during the 1888
Summer market.
The survey said these gratifying ad-
VanceS were attributed to the restora-
ton of buyer confidence through the
firmness in prices displayed by the
manufacturers during the market and
also to a real need for replenishment
Of dealer stocks. Accounts received
showed relative decrease when COM
pared with prior periods. which,
coupled with steady shipments, indi-
Gated a more healthy and liquid posi-
ton on the part of dealers and re-
tailers.
Top 1884 by % Per Cent.
Statistics gathered by the associa-
ton represent general cross-section
of manufacturers of all types of furni-
ture, located in all sections of the
country except the Southeastern
States.
For the total manufacturing group
during the first seven months of this
year orders received Increased % per
cent compared with the corresponding
period last year, cancellations de-
creased 80 per cent, shipments in
creased IS per cent and untitled orders
were up 3 per cent. Compared with
1881, using monthly averages as base
100, orders for July were 122, cam
cellations Al and shipments 80. IN
filed orders were 1875.
