NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Althouga
still laggard in the recovery pro-
cession, retail trade moved ahead
at better pace during the last
week, Dun g. Bradstreet reported
today in its weekly trade review.
Buying in newly opened Christ
mas departments" the 1eview said,
was up to the 1887 level in most
stores, and merchants who always
consider initial returns an excel.
lent measure of results for the full
season planned for a holiday trade
comparable to last year.
Price differences accounted for
poorer showing in total dollar sales
than year ago. While the physical
volume of goods bought was we'll up
to last years level dollar volume
was estimated 2 to per cent lower.
For the second successive week
wholesale houses reported larger
individual orders and at the same
time an increase in the number
of orders received. Visiting buyers
in leading markets were less nu-
merous, but mail orders were heavy
and quite diversified, covering
ready-to-Wear as well as staples
and holiday goods.
With few exceptions buying was
for immediate needs only. Special
caution in ordering was being ex-
ercised by country merchants, many
of whom were still heavily stocked
with out-of season goods.
LAS the increase in wholesale buy
ing during the week was somewhlt
larger than that which occurred
in the corresponding week of 1857,
the drop below last year was reduced
4 to II per cent"

Ry the Associated Press.

Commerce Department figures dis
closed a sharp increase in American
exports of petroleum and gasoline
attributable in part to world arma-
ment needs.

year shipments of natural gasoline
increased IA per cent over compar-
able months of last year to 4,344 900
barrels, and exports of crude petro-
leum increased % per cent to co.
0O6, 900 barrels.
Japan tripled its purchases Of
American natural gasoline, France
doubled it's purchases, while Russia,
Spain and Italy, which bought no
gasoline here last year, entered this
market with initial orders.
The Netherland West Indies, a
transshipment point, was the desti-
nation for the largest quantity of
natural gasoline, shipments there
nearly doubling to 1,266,671 barrels
in the nine months. England and
Canada, the next two largest pur-
chasers also increased their buying.
Canada, Japan and France con-
tinued to be the three leading pur-
chasers of crude petroleum although

Gold Price Climbs,
Franc and Pound
Drop Sharply
Big Demand for Dollar
Loid to European
Capitalist Fears
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-As the
price of gold scared in London to-
day to new record high, the
French and Swiss francs and Brit
ish pound sterling fell sharply in
their relationship to the dollar in
the worlds foreign exchange mar
kets.
European unsettlement was given
as one reason as war-fearing capi-
talists were said to have transferred
their funds into the American cur
rency as a back-stop should trou-
BILE enSue. The Franco-German
remuneration of war pact was said
to have made an unfavorable i'm
preston in London, and many bal
ances held there by continental
foreigners were transferred from
the pound sterling into dollars.
In the course of the morning the
pound fell around 2 cents, drop
ping to $4.64A from s466A, the
rate at which it closed Wednesday.
French francs, at 2.597s cents, were
down more than .01 of a cent, and
the Swiss franc dropped about .O8
of a cent at 22.74 cents.
The pound has fallen steadily re-
Gently, despite intermittent inter-
vention of the British equalizing
fund. Many Wall Streeters were
convinced that British financial au-
thorities were deliberately acting to
depress it to gain foreign trade ad-
vantages, while others, scouting this
view, said the British unit was
merely seeking its natural level to
pay for the heavy preponderance of
goods Britain has bought from us
this year over American purchases
from England.
Canadian currency, on the con-
trary, moved upward in American
dollar terms today, the Canadian
unit being quoted about 0.10 of a
cent higher than Wednesday.
Traders said year-end dividends
we're being transferred to Canadian
holders and that the move was not
extraordinary at this season.

'G-MEN WAIT FOR
 RANSOM MONEY
Bills Will Be First Break 1; Posses Have Been
 Disbanded

Princeton, Fla, June 6-(UP)-
 G-men waited alertly today for the
 appearance of some of the $10,000
 ransom money paid to the kidnap-
 CTS of five year old Jimmie Cash.
 They expected the first break" in
 the case to come, as it did in the
 Lindbergh baby Kidnapping, when someone notifies them that one of
 the five, 10, 20 or 50 dollar bills has
 been intercepted.
 Awaiting that word, they main-
 tained field headquarters in an abandoned packing house that had been remodeled for them here, sift- ing the last of the discouraging clues available to them in eight days of search.
 Numbers of the ransom bills have been circulated throughout the country. G-men hay. offered to re- deem them at twice the face value and they were ready to respond to the call, day or night, anywhere that necessity or greed would induce the kidnapers to part with an item of their loot.
 Search for the baby, who was snatched from his bed on the night of May 28, was left today to the federal agents and to 12 volunteers whom they selected from the army of 2,500 that undertook the task last week.
 There was only the slightest hope that the kidnapers had let the baby live this long. Mrs. James Cash, the mother, retained that hope. She told ngiehbors that she would leave 8 light burning in window every night until the boy is found, alive or dead. She believed that the kid who were so bold as to thrust their third ransom note under the door of a house not 50 feet from where crowd of vigilantes was standing, might drive past her home some night "after all this has quiet ed down" and leave the boy.
 J. Edgar Hoover, head of the Fed eral Bureau of Investigation, re- mained on the scene directing a force of about 35 G-men. It was rumored that Cash, well-to-do merchant, had informed G-men that there were three men in the group of kidnapers to whom he paid the ransom few hours after the baby was taken, and that Cash had recognized one of the men. Hoover, however, replied mo comment" to questions of this na- ture and Cash had been instructed to give no information.

<, lette in the Senate. Gillette's New Deal voting record is rather good but he baked at judiciary reorganiza-
 tion. Wearin's nomination would boom New Deal prestige tremen- dously; Gillette's would be jolt to the White House.
 Eight other Democratic senators up for reelection this year opposed the Roosevelt judiciary bill. They are: Van Nuys, Ind:; Clark. Mb.; Smith, s. C.; McCarran, Nev.; Ty- dings, Md; Adams, Colo; George, Ga, and Lonergan, Conn. Tydings and Smith already have powerful New Deal opposition from candi- dates who generally are regarded as having White House blessing if not Mt. Roosevelt's openly avowed sup port. Van Nuys, practically read out of the party by the Indiana state machine. will not be renomniated on the Democratic ticket.
 The others, except Lonergan, are opposed although with less evidence of organization efforts to purge them than in the case of those pre- viously named. McCarran, however, voted last week for the recovcry-re- lief bill with the remark that he ex- pected some of the funds to be used against him in Nevada this year. The Senate voted down efforts either to earmark expenditures from that fund or to provide dismissal for re- lief administration officials who used their jobs or money to exert poli- tical influence.
 MT. Roosevelt's effectiveness on capital hill appeared on the whole to biencreasing a bit from it's 1887 slump as adjournment neared. The regular session of 1887 ended with the bitterest defeat of MT.
