today a United States purchasing
commission had been established in
Brazil to take charge of the pur-
chase and export of all strategic

Wholesale Business
Limited 10 FiN-in
Orders for Week
Most Of Sales Made
To Medium-Sized
And Small Stores

NEW YORK, July 4-Conserva-
tism continued to rule in wholesale
markets during the last week, and
incoming orders were chiefly for
filing in stocks, Dun & Bradstreet,
Inc. reported today.
Mail requests were fairly numer-
Gus but buyer arrivals were below
last year and markets awaited the
influx expected after the holiday.
Stores already sending in buyer
representatives had apparently given
directions to hold off on major COM
mitments as long as possible. Inter
est in anticipating needs far ahead
was relatively limited.
I'm contrast to the strenuous stock
building efforts of few months ago,
most buyers appeared willing to con-
fine covering to minimum require
ments and take their chances on
delivery of fill-in orders placed later.
Most Orders Small.
although below the record-break-
ing levels of last year, sales still
compared favorably with the more
normal purchasing of 1910. Volume
was reported relatively higher in
number of transactions than in dol
lars. as individual orders were gen.
orally small. The major part Of
the business placed came from small
and medium sized stores.
Announcements of the shorten
ing or elimination of trade shows
events marked the increasing en-
phasis on wartime travel conserva-
ton.
"Shoe and leather groups voted
to cancel spring shows scheduled for
later this year. Cancellation of the
July housewares and china and
glassware events was made at the
request of ODT. Furniture markets
at the request of WPB were limited
to one a year. The Chicago Drapery
Show, opening July 6, announced
that it would be held for one week
only instead of the usual two.
Little Change Seen.
Reports from individual lines re-
vealed little significant change in
buying trends. Some dry goods
dealers noted a moderate broadening
of sales.
Apparel makers were actively
booking orders on coats and suits,
but reported purchasing still under
expectations.
I'm fur lines and mems clothing,
sales ran below normal, as buyers
and sellers awaited official ruling
on ceiling prices.

Southern Maryland
Tobacco Bids Drop
10 8Cents in Month
Companies Claim Rise
In Manufacturing Costs
And Impending Tuxotion
By ssaf Correspondent of The Star.

BY STAFF Correspondent Of The Star
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, July
4-The market price of tobacco
grown By farmers in Southern Mary
land has decreased as much as 3
cents per pound in the last month.
a survey OF tobacco warehouses here
disclosed yesterday
The principal reason, according
to warehouse officials, is that to-
bacco companies are bidding lower
for practically all grades Of to-
bacco because Of increased cigarette
manufacturing costs, while the
ceiling price on cigarettes has not
been raised.
Frank M Hall of the Hall Bros.
and Summers Tobacco Warehouse,
said he had been told by tobacco
company representatives they would
be forced to continue bidding low
to absorb the anticipated increased
cigarette taxation.
Declines at Other Places.
Mr.. Hall said bids on intermediate
grades of tobacco in his warehouse
had dropped from 5 to cents per
pound during the last three weeks.
Top grades are selling for cents
less than last years figure, he added.
At the Edelen Bros. Tobacco
Warehouse, A. H. King said tobacco
prices had gone down about 4 cents
on all grades during the last month.
Both he ana Mr.. Hall felt certain
that bids would rise if the ceiling
price on cigarettes is lifted.
An official at a third tobacco
warehouse said intermediate prices
there had dropped from to cents
during the past month.
Meanwhile, George Sachse, man.
ager of the Maryland Tobacco
Growers Association, questioned the
decline when no increase in Gig
arctic taxation has yet been passed
by Congress"
Ceiling Price the Same.
He stated that the ceiling price
| on cigarettes cannot be raised to
take care of taxation that does not
even exist at this time"
Both Representative Sasscer and
Senator Tydings, Democrats, Of
Maryland are in favor of a ceiling
price increase in relationship to any
| increased taxation. he said.
! In urging Southern Maryland
| farmers to sell their tobacco
through a strong organization
where Jne tobacco of all the farm
ers is used for the purpose of
securing fair and equitable price"
Mr.. Sachse called on the farmers
to write to Representative Sasscer
and Senator Tydings protesting
against the present situation.

Candy Bar Production
Exnected 10 Halt
By Next Easier
Prediction Is Based
On Sharp Decline in
Cocoa Imports
By HUDSON PHILLIPS,

NEW YORK, July 4.-The choco-
late candy bar-an American in
stitution comparable to the hot dog
may be as difficult to obtain as a
rubber tire after this year.
There probably will be plenty Of
chocolate bars available until the
end of 1912" an official of the Asso-
ciation of Manufacturers of Confec-
tionery & Chocolate said.
Early in 1943. however, supplies
will begin to get tight he added,
"and by Easter of next year produc-
ton virtually may halt-unless i'm
ports Of cocoa are increased"
His prediction drew substantial
ton from report of members of
the Cocoa & Chocolate Industry
Advisory Committee to War Pro-
duction Board officials that some
professors of cocoa beans soon might
be forced out of business because
of a supplies shortage.
Difficulties in the industry are
traceable to the cocoa bean, essen
tial raw product necessary for the
manufacture of chocolate, imported
chiefly from the African Gold Coast,
South America, Mexico and the
West Indies.
Shipping problems created by
global war have limited imports OF
the bean to such an extent that the
industry has eaten heavily into its
warehouse stocks.
Professors are limited to go per
cent of their last years needs. WIPE
officials have estimated the indus
try could expect to receive in the
rest of 1912 only about 20 per cent
of imports received in the like 194l
period.
Almost 100000 bags of beans. or
about 100.000000 pounds of cocoa
are required annually to make
candy bars and similar products
In June approximately 100000 bags
were stored In licensed warehouses
compared with 1,4o0,619 in June
1941.
The 700,000-bag figure does not in
clude unestimable stocks contained
in private warehouses and does not
allow for imports.
The WPB estimated on April
that there were about 452 900, ,0Oo
pounds of cocoa in the United States
almost a years supply. About
one-fourth Of that amount is used
in chocolate candy manufacture and
the rest by bakers, in beverages anc
sold to housewives by grocers.

Barr, one of the few civilians in the country who is allowed to teach military camouflage, started the the course last spring with 200 boys enrolled. It has been so popular that it is now being offered to two sec- tions every school term.
 Most people think camouf1age means throwing paint around" Barr said. However, the subject deals with use of lights and shad- ows. The shadow of man or mili- tary object is often more visible from the air than the object itself"
 Only Officers Studied
 He said the United States Army heretofore had restricted camou- f1age knowledge to a select group of officers.
 Its been big problem to train men in camouflage technique throughout the Army" Barr said. If each man from the privates on up knows what to do in time of stress, officers can spend more time on military tactics"
 Tracks made by movement of men or equipment are the best tip-ofs to the enemy, Barr said.
 "If 8 few men walk through a field with a heavy dew on it early in the morning, the path will re- main for weeks" Barr said. T try to teach my students to walk around open fields, or else drag 8 tree branch through behind them to obnerate their tracks"

chanics. They took Co their new duties like ducks take to water.
 To fully understand why the War Department even now sometimes wonders if the 30Ist is just a wish full thought-three inspectors have iourneyed south from Washington and found the picture brighter than painted = 1t must be remembered that this regiment is ofdcered by men who, for the most part, never wore a uniform.
 A handful of officers drilled the troops while the rest of the officers themselves obtained basic military training. At night the officers drilled while some of the men vol- lintarily rounded up sergeants for extra sessions in the primary school of the soldier.
 Average age of the troops is in the middle thirties. Their average I. e. Is military secret, but Colonel Cabell has the figures to prove that no other regiment in the Army averages as high.
 PAID THEIR WAY
 TO JOIN ARMY
 An amazingly high percentage of these volunteers, officers and men alike. are family men. The major ity could have remained outside the scope of the draft for some time some never would have been draft ed-while perhaps 50 percent could have gone into essential industries and made from 10 to 20 times the $21 a month which was the pay of a private at the time they volunteered.
