Lumber dealers are expected to profit by a. compilation of proper meth- ods of handl and transporting lum- ber resulting from a survey recently completed by the National Committee on Wopd Utilization of the Department of Commerce. The survey, which included sclen- tific research and investigation of the successful practices in the lumber in- dustry in this country and abroad, disclosed that losses running into mil- lions of dollars annually result from im- proper handling and storing. A subcommittee composed of leadin; lumber distributors, headed by M. E. Meacham, president of the Goodfellow Lumber Co. of St. Louis, has condensed the findings in a booklet written es- pecially for lumber distributors. volume of business during the eany!AUTOMDBILE SALES morning hours greatly increased. Immense quantities of fruits, chiefly apples and oranges, attracted attention of buyers, and dealers also had large quantities of vegetables to claim atten- tion. spinach reached the local market from Norfolk this morning, and dealers also had quantities of vegetables from dis- tant points. Receipts from Florida continued light, due to unseasonable weather there, but extra large shipments of green peppers were received from there, ~almost enough to glut the market. They brought from $4 to $7 a crate. Immense quantitles of celery were ‘brought from indoors this morning and displayed where attention of buyers was attracted. It was California stock that had been kept indoors to prevent freez- ing. Dealers quoted the celery at! $5.50 and $6. Business at Municipal Fish Market this morning was fairly brisk. Ice cleared from some of the crecks along the Potomac River below Alexandria and made it possible for the fishermen | to operate Winter seines, catches being chiefly small catfish, small yellow perch and sand perch. Market dealers had fairly large quan- tities of sand perch, alive, and the fish in roughly constructed aquariums at- tracted much attention. Shad and her- ring, caught in Florida waters, were plentiful enough to more than supply the demands, prices of shad being lower. Oysters were not especially plentiful, dealers reported, but supplies were about equal to the demands. Selects were of- fered at $2.50 and standards at $2.25 gallon, shell stock selling around $2. An attractive feature of the poultry market was the offering of genuine Spring chickens, dressed, at 50 cents a pound. Such chickens usually do not reach the local market until the latter part of February, it is stated, and first prices usually go as high as 65 and 70 cents for the live ones. | Dealers this morning had fairly large | quantities of turkeys to offer the re- tail trade, some of them being of ex-| ceptionally fine quality and of all size: Receipts of chickens were slightly heav- jer yesterday and today.

NEW YORK, January 18.—Wide- spread retail buying of automobiles has been noted in practically every section of the country during the first weeks of January, good weather conditions be- ing an outstanding factor, according to this week's issue of Automotive In- dustries. Exhibits of new models at the annual New York show and in dealer salesrooms throughout the country has had the usual effect of quickening public interest in automo- biles, but buying is in larger volume than usual for the early year, the lower priced lines being especially favored. Preliminary figures of December pro- duction indicate a total output in the United States and Canada of 250,000, an 83 per cent increase over production in December last year. The total for 1928 is thus brought to approximately 4,607,000, which exceeds the total of the former record year, 1926, by about 100.000. The increase over 1927 is ap- proximately 1,027,000. In setting its new production record in 1928 the industry rose to record heights in its export sale, the increase in the domestic market being only 17 per cent over 1927. Increases in schedules planned for the first quarter are reported by several factories in response to demand for early deliveries and the increasing num- er of orders reported by dealers. The condition of shortage resulting from the closing-out of former models by a number of makers gives evidence of continuing through much of the first quarter and practically makes certain the largest early year production vol- ume the industry has experienced. INCREASED FUR PRICES AID TRAPPING INDUSTRY By the Associated Press. OTTAWA, Canada, January 18.—The fur coat has established itself as an economic_factor. Not only is it bring- ing wealth and style to the boulevards, but it is sending comparative wealth and comfort to the trappers who obtain the essential pelts. According to advices reaching here from the Canadian Northwest, trappers are becoming prosperous, with an aver- age per capita income of $5000 to $10,000, ranking among the highest in the Dominion, and are using their in- creased buying power to obtain elab- orate equipment for their woodland shacks. Men who mush out to trading posts with sled 1loz of furs return with cargoes of radios, talking machines, sewing machines, canned fruits, cigars and other good things of modern civ- ilization, whih a few years ago were regarded in the northland as unattain- able luxuries. Radio sets are said to be especially popular, because the fur region is shut off from civilization many months of each year.

Ten l”er Cent Increase Look- ed For—Keen Competition Is Expected. BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, January 18.—Sales quo- tas are fixed higher today than at any time in nine years. Sales forces are living up to them and so far are not having difficulty in doing so. But it is evident that this is going to be a dan- gerous and critical year for salesmen. ‘The business is here and it is up to the salesmen to get it and few, il any, excuses will suffice to palliate failure. While it is true that business is here, there are a half dozen competitors fight- ing for every order and competition is likely to continue exceedingly stiff in most lines. On the brighter side of the picture, from the salesman’s viewpoint, retail trade is splendid and goods are pass- ing into the hands of ultimategonsum- ers at a reasonable rate. is was shown in the last week by the successes of special sales in many districts. Shelves have been emptied and are be- ing refilled with new goods. The retail trend is likely to continue, since ex- perts predict that building construc- tion and payments to the building: trades will be fully up to that of the first part of 1928. The automobile output for the first three months of 1929 is expected to be 30 per cent heavier than a year ago and mills in many lines of steel are oper- ating at a 5 to 10 per cent higher rate than in the first quarter of last year. Prices of most farm products are not high, but the agricultural communities have money to spend. Except in New England and some parts of Florida, re- tail trade for the first half calendar year is expected to be almost 10 per cent higher than for the corresponding period a year ago. “This estimate is supported by the fact that there has been no falling off in consumptive demand and at the same time no piling up of excess supplies. In most industries, with the exception of bituminous coal, paper and sugar, pro- duction is being closely adjusted to consumption. Cotton goods, railroad equipment, petroleum products and rub- ber goods are showing a betterment of itions. Sales of the mail-order houses are at record-breaking levels. So is the gross business of the better known chain stores. It cannot be overlooked that the chain idea is growing. Whether they call them chain stores or not, many retail firms are operating branch houses to serve individual localities and com- munities beyond easy reach of their main places of business. It is doubtful if the general volume of business today has ever been ex- ceeded in any season of any year. Since the greatest improvement has been in industris centered there, the Atlantic and North Central States are leading the sales procession. GROUP INSURANCE PLAN. Maryland Casualty Increases Pol- icy to More Than $5,000,000. The Maryland Casualty Co. has adopt- ed a broadened and enlarged group insurance program, which is being u derwritten by the Metropolitan Life surance Co. Under the revised plan, individual benefits have been made un- usually attractive, and the total amount of life insurance increased to more than $5,000,000. About 2,000 employes are enrolled in the plan and each re- ceives an amount of life insurance de- pendent on salary. These amounts range from $1,000 to $10,000. An unusual feature is the method of paying premiums by which, in most in- stances, as service increases, the em- ploye’s share of the cost decreases. After four years the employer pays the entire cost of insurance up to and in- cluding $2,500, and continues to pay part of the premium on insurance in excess of $2,500 which the employe may wish to carry. GERMANS BREAK TARIFF WALL OF GREAT BRITAIN By the Associated Press. LONDON, January 18.—Germany has broken through the tdriff walls of the British Empire. Her new trade treaty with South Africa, embracing a “most favored nation” clause, gives her exact- ly the same business footing in that part of the dark continent as England. Already a great hue and cry has arisen in England, and such epithets as “against the spirit of the Empire” and “inconsistent with the ideals of the imperial conference” are in the press. One journal describes the treaty as a “grievous blow to the cause of imperial preference.” The Dally Express, lead- ing independent Conservative news- g;yfier, blames the politicians at White- Some observers regard the new treaty as part of the growing pains becoming manifest in other parts of the empire. In Ceylon the local legislature is de- manding a new constitution, with a def- inite date to be set by Great Britain for the granting of a full responsible government. Scotland and Wales also have “home rule” movements, but neither has reached serious propor- tions. Indla is in a state of unrest, while East Africa is urging that the crown colonfes and protectorates of Uganda, Kenya, Tanganyika be merged into one dominion, with a combined area of 700,000 square miles, eight times the size of England, a population of more than 10,000,000, and wonderful natural resources. BANK OF BRANDYWINE. BRANDYWINE, Md, January 18 (Special). — Reports submitted at the annual stockholders’ meeting of the Bank of Brandywine showed that the institution had enjoyed an excellent year. Payment of a 10 per cent annual dividend was authorized. It was an- nounced that a substantial sum has been carried to the surplus fund and undivided profits, and that since 1924 the bank’s resources have doubled. All directors were Te-elected as fol- lows: R. H. Perrie, Dr. R. Early Baden, L. G. Sasscer, R. H. Robinson, Charles 8. Early, Marvin R. Naylor, Joseph H. Blandford, William T. McPherson and H. Badenhoop. All officers also were re-elected. They are Mr. Perrie, president; Dr. Baden and Mr. Early, vice presidents; Mr. Basscer and C. W. Arth of Washington, attorneys; Mr. McPherson, cashier, and Roland Sasscer, assistant cashier. ARLINGTON TRUST CO. CLARENDON, Va., January 18 (Spe- cial).—John E. Fowler was re-elected presidsnt of the Arlington Trust Co. at the annual meeting of the Institution held yesterday in the bank bullding in Rosslyn. All other officers were re- elected. The officers are C. T. Mer- chant, first vice president; M. E. Church, second vice president; Alan B, Prosise, cashier; Harry R. Thomas, sec~ retary, and Willlam O©. Gloth, counsel. The following directors were elected: E. ‘Wade Ball. George B. Fadeley, Harry K. Green, Robert N. Harper, Ashton C. Jones, George A. Rucker, in addition to the officers. Power Company Reports Income. NEW YORK, January 18 (#).—Utah Power & Light Co. of Salt Lake City, including the Western Colorado Power Co., reports net income after charges for the 12 months ended November 30 totaling $2,339,992, against $2,318,914 for the preceding 12 months. STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1929. DECLINE IN U. S. BONDS LAID TO INCREASED MONEY RATES Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, January 18—United States Liberty bonds sold yesterday be- low par. This is the first time in seve- ral years, with the exception of a brief period last Fall, that the credit of the government, as expressed in its long term obligations, has been quoted at a discount. The weakness in the Government bond Mst was most pronounced in the 3% per cent Treasury Ccertificates which were employed last year to assist in refunding the Liberty bond issues since retired. One of these had a loss of 3 of a point, which is an extreme movement for a bond of this character. It sold at 97, compared with the of- fering price of 100 and the high price last January of 103%. The second fs- sue of 3% per cent bonds declined !i and was at a discount from par of 2!z points. History of United States Issues. Not since August, 1924, have the first Liberty 4%, per cent bonds sold as low as yesterday. It was in this same year that the Fourth 4l4s were also at a discount. This was toward the end of the liquidating movement in the war loans of the United States Government, which began almost as soon as peace was declared and continued for seve- ral years. 1920, under the enor- mous supply of “Liberties” that came from every quarter, as those who had bought them for patriotic purposes de- manded cash instead of bonds, the ¢ first 4Ys sold as low as 84. In March, 1927, they were approximately 104. Even a year ago they were 103%5. The low point of 82 on the Fourth 4%s was reached in the Spring of 1920. From this level there was a steady ad- vance of 22! points, with the high prices for these bonds reached in March, 1927, and nearly duplicated again in January, 1928. Not only were the long term Govern- ment obligations weak today, but there was a_heavy tone to all of the short term issues that have been used to meet maturing obligations in the past nine months. " In fact, about all the United States Treasury notes, except the 43%s sold last October, were at a considerable discount. Banks Feel Shrinkage. The shrinkages that have taken place in Government issues fall chiefly on tk: banks and corporations that hold them because of their liquid character. With the retirement of the Second and ‘Third Liberty issues there is a com- paratively small public investment in Government bonds today. Many of the First and Fourth Lib- erties_have been sold during the past year by individuals and the proceeds Dlaced either in higher yielding se- curities or used in the stock market. The downward movement in Govern- ment bonds is one of the effects of high money rate, which have killed initia- tive throughout the general investment ICE MAN FINDS RIVAL IN CARBONIC “DRY ICE” By the Associated Press.

Efforts are now being made to re- duce “dry ice” production costs and to develop containers requiring smaller quantities of the refrigerant. CHICAGO DAIRY MARKET.
