Above Year Ago

From Previous Mark
Is Reported .
BY the Associated Press.

~ Vic SA0oOSAAtcO 1ACe8.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Buying In
retail stores this week was q little
larger than last week, and averaged
between 8 and 16 per cent above a
year ago for the country as whole,
Dun & Bradstreet reported today.
Regardless of weather conditions,
which were comparatively unfavor-
able for shopping, retail trade VOL
ume expanded moderately in the
week." the credit agency said.
"Ready-to-wear apparel showed
the most substantial gains. In coat
departments. fur-trimmed models
sold more readily. Luxury items,
such as jewelry and furs, continued
to make an outstanding showing.
Many cities reported that these lines,
along with mems furnishings and
apparel, were scoring the broadest
advances over last year"
The agency reported "anticipatory
buying" for fear of higher prices or
scarcity of foods because Of the
European war, was subsiding.
Grocery lines, which had been
subjected to a heavy wave of buying
In September, are now feeling little
in the way Of investment purchas-
ing" the organization said. Deal
ers detect instead, tendency on the
part of customers to make with
drawals from stocks already accum-
mulated."
In wholesale markets, replace
ments needs OF retailers were re-
f1ected in an increased volume of
orders for immediate delivery, the
agency asserted. In other respects, it
added, there was mo significant
change In the temper of wholesale
buying"

Distributors DELAY
Passing on Cuts in
Sugar Prices
A. A. A. Official Cites
Prompt Boosts at
Sturt Of War
Sy the Aysociatod Press.

1y the Associated Prsss.
The Agriculture Department said
today that food distributors ap-
peared to be slow IN passing On to
consumers recent declines in sugar
prices.
A statement issued by D. e. Mont.
gomery, consumers counsel of the
A. A. A.. said raw sugar prices had
declined sharply since the outbreak
Of the European war, but only q
small part Of the decline had been
passed on to consumers In the form
Of lower retail prices.
This slowness to pass on to con-
sumers reductions which already
have occurred In the price Of raw
sugar Is in decided contrast to the
prompt action In boosting prices i'm.
mediately after the war began"
Montgomery said.
TN early September, despite large
stocks of sugar accumulated at pre-
war price levels, the price to con.
sumers promptly jumped " cents
a pound on the average. In a great
many isolated cases much larger in
creases occurred in prices charged
consumers"
Montgomery said that by October
81 the price of raw cane sugar at
New York had dropped back to its
pre-war august, 1880 level. On
this same date. however, cane sugar
at wholesale was quoted, he said, at
slx-tenths of cent a pound above
pre-war levels and consumers ap.
peared to be paying almost a cent q
pound more than they paid before
the beginning of war.
Montgomery said the failure now
to readjust prices probably would be
explained by the statement that
there are on hand large stocks Of
sugar purchased at higher prices
than those now quoted.
While this may be true, it should
be remembered, he said. that
when prices were boosted in Septem.
ber the increase in many cases oc-
CURED before sellers had exhausted
their stocks Of low-price sugar."

His ineptness results in a complete
change of mood so far as the play
is concerned, but after all that
grimness heretofore, the change is
a welcome Ione.
Extremely interesting among the
many scenes which spin around on
Mr.. Welles' stage are those having
to do with 18th century battles. So
thoroughly have the movies accom-
pished the art Of spectacle that the
lighting and the sound effects of
these presumably great battles seem
inadequate despite the anxiety of
the mind to go along with them.
If Mr.. Welles were to decide to edit
his editing still more severely, he
might most profltably dispose of
these passages which lack the ring
of truth. That applies, too, despite
the excellent playing, in more than
one of them, of John Emery as Hot
spur. In case one has forgotten, he
was the Percy who had to be oblit-
Grated before Halls way to the

Choir Excels
In Lenten
Concert
Mrs. Stahl's
Singers Heard by
Large Audience
BY ALICE EVERSMAN,

The annual Lenton concert of the
a cappella choir of First Congre-
gational Church was given last eve
ming at Constitution Hall, drawing
a large and distinguished audience.
Ruby Smith Stahl, conductor of
the choir. received hearty welcome
at her entrance and although the
program asked that there be no
applause between numbers of the
groups of songs, the splendid effects
which she produced with the singers
received spontaneous recognition at
the end.
Mrs. Stahl has done remarkable
work in building up this group Of
local choirsters and at each yearly
appearance the progress over former
performances is always evident
Thus it was that the choir was able
to give highly successful concert
in Town Hall, New York, a few
years ago and subsequently to need
the space of Constitution Hall to
accommodate its patrons. Through
her expert leadership, it has become
the most outstanding choir in the
city in its special line of a cappella
singing.
Perhaps the most striking item
OF their performance yesterday was
the purity of pitch maintained un-
waveringly even in the most diff
cult contrapuntal arrangements.
With this as a basis, together with
the melloWness of quality through
out, the singers can lend themselves
to an infinite variety of shadings
for interpretive effects. These are
of the most detailed kind from the
well defined use of volume and
small but important emphasis on
rhythm and accent to the larger
balance of tone in fortissimo pass
ages.
The projection of the idea of the
compositions sung is further assured
by the personal feeling which seems
to be the aim of every member to
register. The unanimity of effect
is vital in every instance and sin
cere in intention. Mrs. Stahls
knowledge of voice blending and
musical style attained a highly pol
ished performance of the program
last evening. d,
The three groups of sacred selec-
tions were of wide scope. Begin
ming with the Monson arrangement
of Luther's "a Mighty Fortress" it
was followed by two especially love-
ly works, Palestrina's 20 Bone Jesu"
and Arkhangelsky's Hear My
Prayer" The spiritual significance
of these numbers was thoroughly
realized as later, also, in Gretchan-
inoff's Holy Radiant Light" and
Christiansen's Lullaby on Christ.
mas Eve" In the latter the chorus
hummed a resonant accompaniment
to a solo soprano voice, the whole
creating an effect of great rever-
ence and beauty.
The men of the choir were heard
in two numbers, Willy Richter's
"The Creation" and Trowbridge's
"Grace Be Unto YOU" Among other
outstanding works sung by the en-
tire chorus were Goeffrey-Shaw's
How Far Is 1t to Bethlehem"
Wetzels "Ave Maria" and Mabel
Daniels christmas in the Wood"
Paul Delong Gable, at the organ,
played a short prelude to each song.
