THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1930 8 Salesmen on Road Bo | OUT OUR WAY BUSINESS RESPONDS 10 BETTERMENT IN | EMPLOYMENT FIELD Selective Demand for Goods, However, Leaves Greater Improvement to Desire FOREIGN MOVEMENT GROWS Industrial Conditions Still Lack Definite Recovery; Steel Stays Unsettled Many complexities continue as dis- turbing elements in the trade situ- ation, says the weekly review of trade issued by R. G. Dun and Company. Higher temperatures in some sections, it continues, have naturally had a deterrent effect on retail distribution ‘and there has been a slight reces- sion again during the past week. Such @ condition, however, is regarded necessarily as only a passing influ- \ ence. The review continues: ‘While trade movements are still somewhat uncertain, there is less hesitancy in a number of branches. Salesmen on the road are encounter- ing a highly selective demand from retailers, but are booking fair orders, business apparently responding quick- ly to any betterment in the employ- ment situation. Industrial conditions, on the other hand, are not marked by any appre- clable forward movement, a disappointment being experienced at the showing even of those industries which revealed a moderately better trend in September. Steel operations have not fulfilled the promises made and-price pressure has been renewed. Automobile output has been further reduced chiefly in the low-priced car divisions. In New England there has been @ slight seasonal improvement, with some industries making a fair shcw- ing, but others still experiencing a very slack business. The cotton goods market is not quite so active as it ‘was several weeks ago, but the mills have orders on hand to run for some time on their present schedules. Commodity Prices Unstable ‘The instability in commodity prices is continuing to have much influence in maintaining industry in a rather neutral position. While Dun’s itst shows that there has been 2 slight upturn during the week in Luilding materials, indications of a stable point having been reached are not definite. The continued fall in busi- ness indices found reflection in a severe declin2 in the stock market. Early economic readjustments are meeting the hampering force of upset political affairs in many pa.ts of the world, unstable commodity quotations and employment situation that is not without its apprehensive aspects, Money market conditions have con- tinued extremely easy, in vew of the fact that early October normally brings the keenest demand for credit of the year, Bank clearings continue to run considerably behind those of 1929. A somewhat better sentiment ap- pears in some agricultural districts, where rain during the week has ameliorated the farmer's condition to some extent. Foreign Movement A little larger movement of mer- chandise from the United States to foreign countries occurred in Septem- ber than in August; likewise, ship- ments into the United States from foeign ports for that month also in- creased. Merchandise ex| last, last month were valued at $318,000,000 and imports $227,000,000, a gain as to exports over August of $20,000,000 and imports $8,700,000. Furthermore, September exports this year were $119,000,000 less than in that month last year, while for imports there was a decline of $124,- 300,000 covering the same period. It is necessary to go back to Serember, 1922, for a record of exports as low for that month as appears in the latest return, and to September, 1921, for imports. ‘The unsettled situation in the steel industry has not been corrected to any degree. Current buying remains hesitant and finishing mills are in need of backlog tonnages. Forward buying in heavier descriptions provide tonnages ahead, but the aggregate does not reflect much actual gain ‘and current specifications have not benefited materially from this class business. packer er.

D., Oct. 21.—Numerous friends and a few relatives of County Judge and Mrs, Fred White gathered at their home Sunday, about noon, to surprise them cn their golden wed- ding anniversary. Open house was held from 2 to i ‘The affair was quietly planned by @ committee consisting of Mrs. A. B. Landquist, Mrs. C. P. Brownlee and Mrs. R. R. Beebe. A suitable golden offering will be made. Among the guests present was Alfred White, Dickinson, a brother cf the judge. Mr. and Mrs. Fred White were married in County Surrey, England, Oct. 19, 1980. They came to America in 1897 and came direct to that part of Billings county which now is Slope county, and for several years en- gaged in ranching. When Slope county was organized, Fred White was appointed county judge by Gov- ernor L. B. Hanna and has continued in that capacity since that time. FROST DAMAGE SAID LESS THAN YEAR AGO 70 per Cent of Corn Crop Was Out of Danger Before Year's First Frost North Dakota’s 1930 corn crop re- ceived better treatment at the hands of Jack Frost did the crop of 1929, in the opinion of reporters to the Agricultural Statistician’s office at Grand Forks. They report that close to 70 per cent of the corn crop was out of dan- ger at the time of the first killing frost in late September, In 1929, not quite 50 per cent of the crop ma- tured ahead of the. killing frosts. The corn crop generally, however, was retarded in development by the heat and drought of July and‘August, with the result that about 10 per cent more was cut for fodder or placed in silos than in 1929. In addition to damage from drought, flax appears to have suf- porters estimate that 20 per cent of the crop suffered some damage from this disease. Rust damaged about Goodrich Resident Dies in Carrington Goodrich, N. D., Oct. 21—Christian Weippert, 69, a resident of Goodrich for the last 10 years, died at the hos- pital at Carrington, gall stones being the cause of death. He had been ill for the last five years. The deceased was born at Bordina, east of Odessa, in Russia, Dec. 24, 1860. He came to America many years ago and settled in Wells county. He leaves his widow, and five chil- dren: John Welppert, Robinson; Ja- cob, Peter and Otto Weippert, Chase- ley; and Mrs. Mike Aman, Hurdsfield. He also leaves a sister, Mrs. John Filler, Martin. CLOVER MOVING UNUSUALLY PAST Earlier Harvesting and Favor- able Woather Are Cited as Reasons Early movement of sweet clover seed has been much faster than that of other years. This may be ac- counted for in part by earlier harvest- ing, favorable weather for threshing and marketing the crop, and slightly higher prices than last year. The U. S. Bureau of agricultural economics estimates that about 55 per cent of the crop had left growers’ hands up to Sept, 30, compared with 40 per cent last year and 20 to 30 per cent two and three years ago, Prices made an average advance of WEDDING INVITATIONS ARE BEING SENT OUT Royal Marriage Ceremony to Be Austerely Simple; Women to Wear Long Sleeves Pisa, Italy, Oct. 21.—(#)—Invita- tions to the wedding of King Boris III of Bulgaria and Princess Giovan- na of Italy Saturday have gone out from the royal villa at Oan Rossore, ‘They are signed by the Duke Borea Dolmo, prefect of the palsce and grand master of ceremoines to King Victor Emanuel. The Duke recently celebrated his hundredth birthday. He has been master of ceremonies since 19€4 and has ordained the cere- montes for several score royal wed- dings. a Instructions sent with the inivta- tions. indicate the wedding will be simple, conforming with Franciscan austerity. The ladies are required to wear gowns with high necks and long sleeves, with white veils. The wear- ing of jewelry is forbidden. The men will wear full dress, with their Italian or Bulgarian decorations. Officers will be in full dress uniforms. ‘The marriege agreement will be signed by the couple and four wit- nesses, together with Premier Musso- lini and president. of the senate fed- erzoni. g It wes stated here today the Italian royal family will accompany the newlyweds on a trip to Bulgaria aboard the Bulgarian ship Ferdinan- do, arriving at Varna Nov. 1. about 5 cents per 100 pounds during |. the last three weeks of September, in contrast with a decline of 10 cents during the same period last year. On. Sept. 30, prices in 14 states averaged $5.25 per 100 pounds, basis clean seed, compared with Dakotas the average was $5.05, compared with $5 three weeks ago, $4.90 a ycar ago and $4.70 two years ago. The advance of 5 cents in these states is in contrast with a decline of 15 cents during the corresponding period last year. The quality of the seed exceeded slightly the expectations of growers at harvest time and was regarded by shippers as nearly equal to the high quality of the 1929 crop. Of the total number of shippers reporting, ap- Proximately 20 per cent regarded it as very good and about half as good. They expected their shipments of 1930-crop seed to be about 40 per cent: smaller than those made from the 1929 crop. Florida issued 43,606 hunting li- censes to state'residents last year and 568 permits to nonresidents. VOTE FOR ALTA B. HERMAN FOR COUNTY AUDITOR ' of Burleigh County Tuesday, Nov. 4th (Pol. Adv.)

The potato har- vest is practically completed, and not more than 10 per cent of the beet acreage remains to be harvested. Reporters estimate that a consider- ably ee proportion of the potato erop is being stored than was the ease one year ago. Shipments of potatoes from the North Dakota ter- ritory since the opening of the sea- con of the Oct. 15 total approximate- ly 2,305 cars compared with 2,619 cars during the same period in 1929, or crease of 12 per cent, though the size of the crop is approximate- ly the same for the two yéars. October first prospects is now 85.7 ‘per cent of the 10-year average yield, @ gain of 1.3 per cent as compared with September first prospects. Shipments of all livestock to mar- ket except sheep show a decline as compared with last year, indicating that farmers are not anticipating a lous feed shortage and are un- ing to dispose of their stock at present prices.
