tails for Five Months Hold
Well Above 1896.
Sreciaf Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, June 2l.-Consolidat.
ing the gains Of 1896, which gave
wholesalers the largest volume of bust.
ness in terms Of units for any wear
since 1929. ex"- on Of both sales and
production checked in the dry
goods trade ls the first quarter
OF 1887, according to survey by Dun
6 Bradstreet, Inc.
Mills then were refusing orders
specifying delivery earlier than six
months, while wholesale volume ranged
from 20 to 40 per cent over the 1896
comparative. Buyers were pressing to
cover requirements ahead as far as
next Fall and Winter, to gain price adj
vantage on a rising market and to al.
low for possible delivery delays.
by the middle of April, the situa-
ton started to shift. Unfavorable
weather curtailed retail sales, and con-
sumer spending was frozen further
by employment uncertainty, which tho
strike wave spread. Advance whole
sale commitments came to a halt, as
quotations on both raw cotton and
wool turned weaker, unsettling the
price structure of many types of fin
ished goods. In spite of this narrowing
distribution, which persisted until
early June, wholesale volume increased
Is to 80 per cent from that for the
first five months Of 1886, while retail
sales rose 10 to 25 per cent.
Hesitation on the part of buyers has
been less in evidence since the begin
ming Of June. Retail distribution has
widened steadily, imparting more &C
tivity to wholesale markets. AS the dip
in raw material quotations has been
too short to force major readjustments
on finished goods. an upward price
trend is indicated for Fall. due to the
expense added to production by wags
boosts, curtailed work week and higher
costs Of supplies"

A coroner's jury yesterday found
that the death of Mrs. Mary M.
Shloss, who died on last Saturday
when struck by a street car at
Eighteenth and Columbia Road,
was accidental.
The operator Of the street car,
James S. Higdon, Of 1880 G st.
S. E., was absolved of any re-
sponsibility in the death after
many witnesses had testified that
he had taken every precaution
and that he was not going at an
