There was some v to the tomato crop around of the month and consider- ze to late potatoes in Ken- t No. much complaint of potato rot has been heard lately. The weather is-still too dry in the Ohio Valley and much of the Western area. Ship- ments- of fruits and_ vegetables are at about the height of the vear, filling | some 5,000 cars each week day, says the report of the Burcau of Agricul- cultural Economics of the Department of Agriculture. Potato shipments continue at the rate of fully 1,000 cars daily, which is not far:from the volume moving a year ago. Most Eastern sections are con- siderably behind their last season's to- tal to date,.owing to a late start and unsatisfactory market condition.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. - . €., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5. 1928.° INCREASE IN SALES SHOWS TRADE GAIN Wholesale and Retail Mar- kets Reflect Prosperity. Building Projects Rushed. BY J. C. ROYLE. NEW YORK, October 5.—The favor- able winds of prosperity are swelling the sales of both wholesale and retail | trade. It is doubtful if retail purchases | have been so heavy in any week since | the last Christmas shopping season. This is due to the high rate of indus- trial activity and the heavy employment. of labor at high wages. In fact it trans- lates industrial prosperity to the Nation | at large. The wholesale trade is forging | ahead on a terrifically large volume of | orders for the holiday trade. | These conditions obtain in nearly all communities ‘except where purely local | conditions have reversed the trend, such | as Florida, suffering from the effects | of the great storm; the soft coal dis- |rlcl suffering from the strike; certain parts of New England, tied up by labor disputes, and one or two agricultural communities where weather conditions | have been unfavorable. In the steel districts, where a year ago men were being laid off, the rolls and furnaces are turning out extraordinary tonnages. The automobile factories are hustling to_meet present and future demand both for foreign and domestic trade. The building industry is rush- ing projects to completion in advance of Winter weather. All these factors are bringing increased orders to pro- ducers of raw materials and to retailers. The coal men are picking up an odd | dime or two of profits, owing to the approach of Winter. The anthracite producers are finding dollars where the | bituminous men_are scrambling for dimes, however. The ofl industry 1 still far from satisfactory, but it is far better | than it was and exploitation is now in | progress. The lumber producers have ceased to wonder at the fact that they are “out of the woods” and are accept- | degree of prosperity as a regular thing rather than as an inter- lude in depression. The cement manu- facturers are burdened by excessive pro- duction, but see consumption rapidly growing up toward mill capacity. There has been a lull in the demand | for agricultural machinery, but this is usual at this time of year. If many of | the machinery dealers failed to sell an- other tractor- they still would show profits.above those of 1927. The rubber manufacturers are going strong, but ing a modera there is & catch in it. They are all a bit afraid of developments "subsequent to November 1, when the restriction on exports imposed by the Stevenson plan in the Far East comes to an end. The copper properties not only are storing ore as fast as possible, but The older properties are spending huge sums in developing additional ore reserves. The position of the lead and zinc pro- ducers is not so satisfactory, but is farf from discouraging. The political campaign and the in- terest in polo, foot ball, the world series and other sporting events have sent radio equipment sales to a high point. Newly developed equipment is adding to sales and these are being encour- |aged by the willingness of many deal- |ers to take old sets in exchange for new at a reasonable sum. The demand for electric power is | sweeping sharply upward. This is due in some degree to more hours of dark ness, especially since the end of day- light saving in many large cities, but it is even more the result of additional industrial activity. The cotton manu- facturers, as they have been for moniis, still are at sea with no port in sight. The woolen producers have in some in- stances lifted themselves from the ditch of depression by their own boot straps by development of new and attractive | fabrics, The railroads with_their huge 'pay rolls are at the peak of the year's activity. | Lisbon, Spain, has placed a ban on tramps. BREAD PRICE WAR ON. Baltimore Firms Are Fighting Out- of-Town Bakers. BALTIMORE, October 5 (Special).— A bread war, which has been brewing | for a long time between Baltimore bak- erles and bakerles controlled by out-of- | town interests, came into the open yes- terday, following_ the announcement of reduced prices of bread. A number of bakeries here, made a | public announcement of their new scale of prices. Large loaves, which have been selling at 13 cents, were reduced to 10 cents. Small loaves, selling at 9 cents, have | been brought down to 8 cents. Their prigea are now on a par with the price of »r~a# to many of the larger | chain grocery icses. AIDS BUILDING PLANS. Mexican Highway- Congress At-| tended by 60,000 Persons. | MEXICO CITY, October 5 (Spe- | cial).—~The Second National Mexican | Highway Congress and Exposition hel(l‘ here during the past week has been at. tended by more than ‘60,000 visitor: and delegates from ‘12 countries. | The Congress,, under the auspices of | the pan-American division of the Amer- ican Road Builders' Association, ¥ held primarily to give impetus to Mex- ico’s highway building program and to | foster a pan-American highway from Washington to Mexico City.
