were ordered than in any previous month this year. By classes-chain stores in September paid dividends about 82 per cent more than in Sep tember of last year, and department store dividends were 38 percent more than year ago.
 Sales of chain stores for Septem- Der show greater rates of gain over a year ago than for the whole year to date-that is, the improvement in volume continues to accelerate. For example:
 Melville Shoe for four weeks end ing September 26 had volume TIC per cent more than year ago; and for 40 weeks ending the same date the increase over 1885, same period, was. 15.9 per cent.
 Neiser Bros. were up 18.1 per cent for September and 134 per cent for the nine months.
 H.. L. Green showed a gain of 19.8 per cent for September and 13.6 per cent for the eight months of the fiscal year.
 Sun Ray Drug Company's gain for September was only 26 per cent against a gain of 401 per cent for nine months.
 For the rest of the year there, is every reason to expect continued gains. It is possible that TOT the last quarter 1886 may equal 1929 and of course go beyond the business vol ume of December in 1929. Whole salers and manufacturers report very heavy orders for the coming season.

to other sources if she married
him.
In addition, the will of the
mother, who died in 1884, pro
vided that the man Justine mar
ried was to receive $4,000 an
nuaIly from the fancy estate
if that man was not Emerson.
Now that the marriage has
taken place, trustees of the estate
can, at their own initiative or at
the petition of any du Pont heirs
entitled to the money after JUS

entirely away from the girl. This
is not believed likely, however, it
was said today, in that the truS-
tees do not seem willing to order
the transfer and no heir has come
forward to seek it.
