FLORIDA PRODUCTS ATD. C. MARKET Cooler Weather Brings Out Early-Morning Buyers. Trade Rather Quiet. Cool weather during the early morn- ing hours proved sufficient inducement to retailers to do their shopping early. They were out in the usual number, wholesalers reported. but buying was not_excsptionally brisk. It was said by dealers that commodities did not disap- pear very rapidly. ‘Wholesalers had small shipments of string beans from Florida, growers the Palmetto State also sending s ments of white and yellow squash that were offered at $4 and $4.50 a bushel basket, few slightly higher. The beans | brought $3 and $3.50 a bushel. Lima beans, very scarce earlier in the week, were more plentiful. They were from the Eastern Shore of Maryland and readily brought $5 and $6 a bushel, shelled stock sclling at 75 and 90 cents a quart. Peas, product of California growers, were quoted at $5 and $6 a bushel, while cucumbers from Long Island sold at $4.50 a_bushel. Long Island caulifiower was offered as low as $2.50 a_crate, Homegrown tomatoes sold at $1.50 and $2 a basket, the California stock selling according to size and condition. Prices of most products this morn- ing were substantially the same as prices quoted yesterday, slight changes in butter and egg prices being the ex- ceptions.

BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star NEW YORK, October 25.—The shoe factories of the United States will turn out aboftt 345,000,000 pairs of shoes during 1928, according to estimates pre- pared by tanners, manufacturers, retail dt‘alcrs and Government officials. This is a larger production than in any year since 1923, and is being reached despite the fact that prices in general have shown an advance. The to the fact that cattle slaughterings in this country have been smaller than for years past. No small amount of hides has been Imported. But cauntcrbnlance imports, an increas- ing quantity of tanned leathers is go- lng from the United States to foreign countries. The volume of shoes turned out not only will keep shod. the majority of American feet, but will protect also the pedal extremities of many foreign coun- tries. The United States is beating Great Britain and Europe at their own ;;:lmc For many years there has been ?re(erence market” in America for Eng sh and.French shoes. There still is such a demand, which is independent | B of price and on which tarift restrictions have no effect. But now the volume of “preference” sales abroad hes turnzd in favor of American products. The era of swift machine production of shoes in * | this country seems now to have attained an ease of movement which allows an opportunity for the finger of art to touch the cutput, resulting in shoes of beauty. It already has employed science with the result that American shoes are probably the most comfortable and heal*hy in the world. For a genaration the United States had led the world in the quality of shoe upper leathers tanned by the chrome process—which * | means practically. all types of upper leathers—and its sole leathers, mostly L1771 21227 P A I I AT/ LA LI LA AL LA The Columbia National Bank 917 F Street _ Capital and Surplus N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N 727727727707 27 1711711 L4 L 11LL2 1100142 advance has beer due in large part|a to | Cen $650,000.00 N’ bark tanned, are well fitted for the av- erage weather conditions of this conti- nent. All of these qualities have helped to build up American demand for our own shoes, As against this flood of footwear, our foreign trade to the principal European countries is but a thin trickle, but the Buropean interest. that now centers on American style shoes is far greater than trade figures of today indicate. There are unmistakable evidences of an awakening preference for things Ameri- can in France, England and Germany. The trend in France and Germany is evidence by the sale of American-made shoes to Frenchmen and Germans in their own retail shops, and by the use of the term ‘“American-type shoes,” which is employed by a good many retailers. An American consul last,K Summer found himself called upon to protest to a German shoe trade assoclation against the practice of German dealers, who exhibit shoes made in Europe, but bearing the picture of an American flag worked mgemously into the label, '\long with the words “American-type shoes.” DIVIDENDS. lar.

NEW YORK, October 25.—The pro- gressive rate of advance in the price of industrial stocks in the past three years in comparison with the rise in public utility and railroad shares emphasizes the character of the present specula- tion as -one almost exclusively devoted to the securities of manufacturing and distributing concerns. Figures presented by the Standard Statistics Co. show that in 1926 the average of 50 industrial stocks gained about 24 points. In 1927 the rise was 43 points, but in nine and. a. half months of this .year there has been an nverase gain in this group of 50 poin Tnkln: the, next' most profitable group from the standpoint of the in- vestor or speculator, it will be found that in 1926 the average rise in public utility shares was 20 points, that this was increased to about 28 points in 1927 and so far this year has amounted to 38 points.
