War Orders Shut Out
Civilian Buyers Of
Cotton Textiles
Women's Wear Lines
Account for Most Of
WooIen Business
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Civilian
buyers Of cotton textiles were given
a further brush off this week as
large-scale Government business
continued to be awarded.
Practically all sections of the
trade were preoccupied with efforts
to adjust production facilities to
meet the expanding demand for mill
itary and lend-lease use. Outstand-
ing awards included about $1,000 900
yards of mosquito netting.
Buyers holding priority ratings
haunted the maket trying to locate
good to cover recent awards for
twills, drills and print cloth. Trade
quarters estimated between 18,O00,-
600 and 100000 yards of print
cloths would be needed to f1ll the
contracts awarded for 15,000,0O
pairs Of underwear shorts.
Several million yards of construc-
tions suitable for mattress covers,
along with sheetings and osnaburgs
for the bagging trade were done
during the week. A tight delivery
situation hampered the conclusion
of business, as some mills were re-
ported already booked ahead on
priority commitments into the first
quarter of 1943. On November 20
the Army will open bids on 10,O00,-
900 yards of Bounce blue denims.
Principal activity in Woolens CEN
tered in womens wear lines. Some
business was concluded in spring
constructions, with the trade eagerly
seeking goods wherever available.
Offerings were not plentiful because
production for military use monop-
olizes facilities.
Movement of rayons was rather
light. Converters sought additional
yardages but met with little success
as mills reserved facilities for Gov
ernment orders already booked .or
in prospect.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Private
building permits during October
dropped to the lowest since the
opening months of 1895, reflection
of the Tightening of wartime
restrictions on building operations
throughout the country. Total
value of permits last month for
2l5 cities was s44, ,803, ,007, according
to Dun & Bradstreet, Inc.
This was decline of pol per cent
from the September sum of $56,O60,-

October, 1941, sum of $124,745, SOB.
New York Total Slumps.
New York permits, with an esti-
mated value of only s1,5O2,310 for
October, sank to the smallest
monthly total for over 80 years for
which there is record.
Permits issued in the first 10
months of this year fell 43.3 per
cent to $723, 725 238 from the ST.
277, 1874 ,055 for the similar period
year ago. New York permits totaled
sac, 1865 ,626, or only one-third of
the 1941 volume.
A comparison of the 20 leading
cities for the 10 months showed Los
Angeles at the top of the list, with
Detroit in second place. and New
York dropping to third position for
the first time this year.
Capital Ranks Fifth.
While Washington has been lead
ing the Nation in public and pri-
vate construction, according to the
Labor Department, the National
Capital stood fifth in this compila-
ton of private activity only.

Wheat Up Slightly
After Late Rally
Cancels Losses
Other Groins Finish
Unchanged to Lower
On Chicago Market
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Market Writer.

Associated Press Market Writer.
CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-Grain prices
turned fractionally lower today,
showing losses of as much as u to y
cent at one time but the market
rallied just before the close as a
result of buying to cover previous
short sales and wheat finished with
small net gains.
Brokers blamed early weakness
principally on liquidation of Decem-
Der contracts, which was particularly
noticeable in the rye pit where prices
showed the most loss. Unsettling
factors included trade reports that
the Government may announce over
the week end its new wheat sub
sidy program to make supplies avail
able to mills.
Small Gains Appear.
q. Wheat closed unchanged to q
higher, compared with yesterday,
December, $125-5s, May, $1.28-A;
corn 1s-ss lower, December, 83k:
May, 88A-ss; oats unchanged; rye
unchanged to 4 of; soybeans 1ss-
15s lower.
Traders said the decline in beans
was accomplished on only few
transactions and, thus, was without
market significance. Trade in beans,
futures as well as cash, has been
virtually at a standstill for months
as result OF the Government price
guarantee program.
Brokers said any plan the Govern
ment announced to make wheat
available to mills so that they can
sell -four at ceiling levels would tend
to restrict open market demand.
They said the extent of the subsidy
offered producers will take the place
Of any price rise in the open market
that would be necessary to bring
wheat out of storage. Producers
have been holding wheat off the
market IN order to accept Govern
ment loans. -,
Huge. Surplus Stored.
An up-to-date survey showed that
more than 400,000,OO0 bushels from
the 1912 crop are already sealed as
collateral and traders pointed out
producers have until the end of the
year to obtain loans. The deadline
may be extended beyond that date.
The amount sealed already is the
largest for any season since the ever
normal granary program began.
Dealers sold $4,000 bushels of
wheat, 10000 corn and $4,000 oats
to be shipped from this market,
which resulted in some lifting of
hedges in the futures pits. However
hedges were placed on 77,OOO bushels
of corn to arrive from country points.

Bomber crews also noted that
two cargo ships had been dam
aged in earlier attacks in which
Il results were not observed
Immediately because Of the high
altitude from which the bombs
were dropped. The ships, which
were beaohed, pushed the total
of enemy vessels sunk or dam

This is a popular misconcep-

When Joe's jaloppy hits the
graveyard, rest is the one thing
it will not get. BY War Produc-
ton Board regulation, for every
pound of worn-out car that en-
tiers a graveyard, a pound OF
scrap metal must leave the yard
headed toward a war mill with
in go days. So the more cars you
see in the graveyard today, the
more steel Uncle Sam has re-
ceived from the graveyard in the
past two months.
Actually the graveyards make
it possible to obtain scrap which
otherwise would not be avail
able. That is because the grave
yard operator obtains most of
his income, not from the iron
and steel scrap, but from the
