Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Jan. 49, Chain
stores, in their December sales,
made by far the best showing for
a number of years, according to
the monthly compilation released
yesterday by the investment firm
of Childs, Jeffries & Thorndike,
Inc.
The first Is chains reported an
aggregate December volume of
s425,052,757, an increase of SAL
188,794 or 107 per cent over the
same month a year ago. For the
IL months ending December 31st
last, these chains had sales total
ing $3,278,2l8,924, which compares
with sales Of s2,972 BAT ,902 in 1898.
an increase of $305 ,371 ,022,: or 1913
per cent.
The remarkable growth of the
chain store business in the last
decade can be seen by contrast
ing last years sales volume of $3,-
278,218,924 with that of $780,!
042,003 in 1929. In line with this
advance, chain stores spent more

Domestic Copper Price
Whitfield During Week

NEW YORK, Jan. 13 (R.-The
premium that domestic copper in
the resale market has brought for
several months was eliminated this
week.
After selling as much as / cent
above the producer and refner
base of 1871 cents a pound, the
quotation for spot delivery was
whitfield down to the same level
primary producers have quoted
since October S. Later months
were priced still lower.
Metal dealers said the slowly con-
tracing demand from domestic and
foreign buyers in recent weeks was
chiefly responsible for the lower
price.
Sales were made to overseas in
terests at 1919 cents but some SELL
ers quoted January export copper
down to 1912 cents a pound.
Vigorous buying of lead developed
for time and sales for several
days more than equaled the daily
production quotas. Prices held firm
at 5.50-5.55 cents a pound.
Zinc moved quietly at SIS cents
East st. Louis.
Steel mills continued to eat into
backlogs piled up in the closing
months of 1889. Although new buy
ing has improved only moderately
since the holidays, mills are believed
to have sufficient orders on hand
to keep busy for several weeks.

Cotton Consumption
And Exports Show
38 Per Cent Jump
100000 BoIes in
Excess of 1899
Crop Forecast
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Domestic consumption and ex-
ports of American cotton show a 3S
per cent increase during the first
five months of the current season
over the same period last season.
Domestic consumption and ex-
ports were reported by the Census
Bureau yesterday at 6458,O97 bales,
compared with 4,7O1 ,075 in the first
five months of the 1888 season. The
amount consumed in this country
increased from 2.798, ,708 to 3.311. .702
bales. while exports jumped from
1,902.367 to 3,143.395 bales
This rate indicated that total do
mestic consumption and exports this
season might exceed 100000 bales.
This volume would be more than
1000 900 bales in excess of the 1889
crop. Excess requirements would
come from surplus stocks of about
100000 bales. most of which is
stored under Government loans to
growers or is owned by the Govern
ment as result of loan operations.
The insreased use of American
cotton is reflected in the Census
Bureau report showing that cotton
in consuming establishments and
in public storage and at congresses
on December 81 was about 100000
BALES less than on the same date a
year ago.
Exports for the five month period
were valued at $l66.848, 900, COM
pared with s97,s13,00O in the cor
responding period of 1888.
The United Kingdom was the
number one importer of American
cotton during the five-month period,
having taken 953 ,598 bales, compared
with 243,993 in the like period in
1885, Japan was second with 422.-
III bales, compared with 457,397 in
1888. Exports to Germany declined
from 1876 to 27,522 bales.
Imports of cotton totaled 57,264
bales compared with 65,175 in the
1898 period, the census Bureau said.
officials attributed the increased
foreign shipments in part to the
Governments export subsidy pro-
gram under which exporters receive
bounty on such sales Sales und .
this program during the first five
months of this season were reported
by the Agriculture Department at
5,867,000 bales, including cotton
manufactured products equivalent
to 269 900 bales. The subsidy outlay
to the Government was estimated at
about $35 100000.

Trolley Coach Orders
Set AII-Time High
Special Dispatch to The Star.

ERIE, Pa, Jan. 13.-Trolley coach
orders for 1899 reached an all-time
high with the purchase of 598 equip
ments by 81 companies, G. w. Will
son, manager of transportation for
General Electric, said today. The
percentage of "electrics" out of all
vehicles purchased for city trans
portation has steadily increased the
last five years, from low of S per
cent in 1884 to 26 per cent in 1899.
OF particular interest is the in
creased use of Diesel-electric and
gas-electric drive buses. Nearly 100
of these vehicles have been pur-
chased for the Surface Transporta-
ton Co. of New York, and new users
include the Dallas Railway & Ter
minal Co. and the Reading Street
Railway.

More Family Dwellings
Forecast for 1910

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-Lawrence H.
Whiting, president of the American
Furniture Mart, today predicted "a
big upturn in the building of fam
lily dwellings in 1940."
1T will add about $500,000 900 to
the volume of home furnishings this
year." he said. THE trend toward
modernization of homes, apart
ments, hotels and clubs is an i'm
portant factor in the market"
Discussing the results of the first
week of the National Home Furnish
ings Exposition, he said attendance
was exceeding last year, which set
an all-time record. He termed the
market the most successful in his
tory because retailers are confident
that the demand for home furnish
ings will continue the momentum
that set in last fall"
