Moderate Quickeninq
In Business Pace
Is Reported
Interest Broadening
In Foil Goods as
Temperature Drops

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Business
shows "a few signs of moderate
quickening," Dun g. Bradstreet.
Inc. reported today in its weekly
trade review.
Retailers" said the mercantile
agency, reported broader interest
in new fall merchandise accom-
panying the drop in temperatures.
Automobile manufacturers were
swinging rapidly into production of
new models and both the electric
power output and railroad freight
traffic touched new 1910 highs.
Transactions increased slightly
in commodity and security markets,
with prices up slightly owe: the lows
of the preceding weeks.
There were some expansions in
wholesale quarters for finished
goods. although no noticeable
change in merchants cautious at
titude toward future commitments.
Wholesalers felt the improve
ment at retail in an immediate in
crease in spot orders. The nature
of the inquiries again indicated that
retailers we're running close to
shore in the matter of stocks.
wholesalers reported several in
stances where orders showed more
interest in deliveries than in prices.
Yet there was still no significant
pickup in forward purchasing.
With the quickening of retail
turnover, recorders on ready-to-
wear lines took the spotlight. Calls
from stores in the heavy industry
areas were said to be especially
numerous. Orders on bridal
and bridesmaids apparel were re-
ported to be in larger volume than
usual at this season.
Large backlogs in heavy indus
tries are a major factor maintain
ing production at the 1910 peak.
Lines outside the sphere of national
defense-particularly light consum-
ers' goods-have suffered somewhat
from distributors reluctance to Or
der ahead, but even in these indus
tries activity continued to hold well
above the level of a year ago.
Concerning retail trade, the sur
vey reported: Increases in sales
volume over the 1899 level we're re.
ported by all major regions of the
country this week and the average
gain for all was estimated at be-
tween 8 and II per cent.

You have less desire to overeat fat
tening foods, but you never suffer q
hungry moment. Second, the natu-
raj dextrose in Welch's is quickly
consumed, and by this process not
only aids nature in consuming excess
fat but also increases your energy.
That is why weight is lost nat
urally, safely. Why you not only look
better but actually feel better; have
more energy. And this method is just
as beneficial and effective for over.
weight men as it is for overweight
women.
Do This One Important Thing
There's only one thing to watch-eat
sensibly, which means you avoid over
eating, and be sure to use only gen.
uine Welch Grape Juice, selected by
DR.. Damrau in his convincing test.
Welch's is always full strength. It
contains full measure of natural dex-
trose, which is so important. And be-
cause Welch's IS always full strength
it is delicious when diluted-very
economical to use. Start this proved

that the two tankers, denied clear
ance to sail for Spain until they

They were stopped July 10 and

up by President Roosevelt recently
under Mr.. Morgenthau to supervise
departures and arrivals Of both
foreign and domestic ships.
First word that the tankers had
been held up came from the Mari

"A policy of restricting charter
approvals to trips mostly within the
Western Hemisphere has been
adopted by the commission" an Of

taken because the commission
thought 1t dangerous to allow Amer

Foreign Ships Not Affected.
The official said the commission
adopted the general policy without
being asked to do so by the White
House or State Department. He
said that foreign tankers were not
affected.

directed against potential 60
