Manufacturers generally are limit

duced per year, to reduce operating
expenses, but in many cases schedules
for the creation of new samples have
been revised to distribute them more
evenly throughout the year, and a large
number Of suites that normally would
be ready in July will make their bow
in May, thus reducing the volume Of
new merchandise that buyers must
inspect during the hectic weeks Of the
major markets.

Spring Market Scheduled for
One Week From
May 3 to s.

Retail sales during January and
February augur well for . large at
tendance at the American Furniture
Mart's Spring market, scheduled for
one week, May 3 to 8, in Chicago.
Preliminary figures for the first two
months Of 1887 shoN that most stores
are still enjoying steady increase
in sales which means that
buyers will again be in a position to
place orders in May.
Even in the flood area, where stores
were out of action entirely for several
weeks, business is again going ahead
in full swing, and unusually large
delegations of buyers from these cities
are expected at the furniture mart this
Spring. The entire territory hit by
the flood faces a tremendous refur-
nishing job.
Attendance Increasing.
Buyer attendance at midseason
markets has been steadily increasing
for several years. The Fall market of
1885 attracted 1888 retailers, the
following Spring 1893 attended and
last Falls market brought the record
crowd of 2,483 buyers. The show

mined whether processing taxes will

Of the method"
Mr.. Jones has challenged the De-
partment of Agriculture's estimate that
the new farm program would cost
s275,000.000 more than the present
conservation program, under which
$500, 000,00 was paid out this year.
He has insisted that the excess cost
will not run higher than SITS, 0O0, 900.
Dispute Delays Bill.
There was fairly general agreement
that the disagreements would delay
the farm bill until late in the special
session. if not TO the regular session
which opens in January. II the House
Agriculture Committee has its way in
shifting the job of raising revenues to
the Ways and Means Committee, the
financing of the program is bound to
have rough shedding. For it so
happens that Representative Robert l..
Doughton, Democrat, of North Caro-
Tina, the chairman Of the Ways and
Means Committee, is strongly opposed
to processing taxes.
The House Agriculture Committee
has yet to approve the proposal of
the Agriculture Department that corn
be placed under a marketing quota
system by the imposition of a 25-cent
penalty against corn production above
the legal quota allotment for the
market.
three representatives of the Agriculture
Department defend the plan.
Marketing quotas for corn are nee
essary because we are on a domestic
basis, so far as production is con-
cerned," said Claude R. Wickard, d.
rector of the A. A. AS North Central
Division. We can't export corn as
we can wheat or cotton. Corn loans
are necessary and the Government
should be protected against dumping"
I. w. Duggan, acting director of the
Southern Division, and Robert Shields,
A. A. A. attorney. supported Mr..
Wickard's contentious.
The A. A. A. experts proposed that
the marketing quotas be imposed for
all areas where production of corn
ran four or more bushels an acre. On
