Retail Trade Brisk,
Industrial Rate
Al New Peak
Wholesale Turnover
Reflects Expansion
In Store Sales
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. ia con.
tinuation of favorable business trends
throughout the last week was re-
ported today by Dun g. Bradstreet,
in its weekly trade review.
Retail buying" said the mer-
camille agency, maintained its &C
CELEBRATED pace and in some regions
touched a new high for the current
season.
Retail sales for the whole country !
were estimated 5 TO 10 per cent
higher than in 1899; last week the
year-to-year margin was between
6 and Is per cent. ."
Industrial production also gave a
good account of itself, rising more
than seasonally to the peak level Of
the year so far. -
wholesale and Industrial order
ing was not quite so active as in
the previous week, but trading con-
tinued to show some liberalization
OF purchasing policies compared with
a few weeks ago. -
Purchasing at retail continues
vigorous. 49, Reports from all sec
tons of the country reveal a spirit.
OF optimism among consumers. -
Wholesale turnover reflects the
recent expansion in retail trade not
only through exceptionally heavy re-
order activity, but also in an in
crease of stock commitments. -
The curve Of production continues
to point upward with the recovery
from the Labor Day letdown more
pronounced than usual in many in
dustries. -"
The defense program appeared
as strong influence affecting the
liberalization of buying policies. 80.
Among industries reporting q
greater than seasonal uptrend in
production for the latest week were
steel, automobile, and cotton and
wooden textiles"

Grain
BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO Sent

BY the ASSOCIATED freSS.
CHICAGO. Sept. 13.-Wheat
prices rose about y cent at one time
today in response to reports of bet
ter demand for North American
grain from accessible Southern
European nations, but all of the
advance was lost later.
Trade was restricted by the I'M
certainty of most dealers regard
ing the war situation. and the mar
ket, therefore, was inclined to mark
time. Corn prices were steady to
firm. Grain dealers booked large
supplies to be shipped from the
country, but sales for shipment out
of Chicago also were substantial.
Wheat closed unchanged to 4
lower, compared with yesterdays
finish; September, 743s; December,
761s-A; corn, Is of to 70 up; Sep
TENDER. 635s: December, 5674; oats,
unchanged to 1s higher.

Figures
What TheyMeon
BY JOHN L. BECKLEY,
Associated Press Statistician.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13-German
agents in South America are try
ing to undermine the position of
American exporters by picturing
them as proflteers, foreign trade
circles said today.
Nazi representatives, these cir
Giles say, have been circulating sto-
ries to the effect that United States
merchants are taking advantage d
the fact that Latin-American coun-
tries are forced to buy from them
by the war. This, the Germans say,
is shown by the high prices charged
by American shippers and their de-
mands for prompt cash payment.
Prices Are Higher.
These stories have taken on add
ed substance, foreign trade circles
say, because United States prices
for steel, machinery, ETC., are &C
tually substantially higher than
similar articles of German and Eng
lish manufacture.
South American buyers have had
a hard time reconciling themselves
to this difference, but in many
cases, exporters say, they have
found it more than compensated
for by the superior quality of the
United States product
The efforts of German propagan-
dists have also been aided by the
lack of dollar exchange in many
Latin-AmerlCan countries which has
made some exporters insist on pay
ment in cash, whereas before the
war buyers were able to arrange
time payments over an extended
period on similar purchases from
Germany or England.
However, the majority of Ameri-
can exporters have bent over back
ward to extend lenient terms, trade
sources here maintain. In fact, in
many cases exporters have really
overextended themselves somewhat,
it is believed, in the hope they soon
would be bailed out by new Export
Import Bank loans.
Bank Bill Watched.
United States shippers have been
closely watching the progress of
bill passed yesterday by the Senate,
to increase the lending power of the
Export-Import Bank by $500, 000, 900
for South. American loans. Many
have peen counting on this to relieve
the situation, but if it should fail
to obtain final passage observers be-
lieve credit terms on exports to
South America would tighten i'm
mediately.
Another thing which it is difficult
for South American buyers to un-
derstand and which German agents
have been trying to make much OF,
exporters say, is the increase in
prices Of many articles bought here
over what they were 80 or l20 days
ago. The demand created here by
the armament program has resulted
in boost in export prices on steel,
industrial and farm machinery and
other items.
