A
DON'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Progress Continues to Be in' Bight
. . Direction.
DECLINE -IN PRICES OF GBADJ
la-. West Manufacturing Plants Are
Bit and Labor Is Well Employed
Conditions in Pittsburgh'
District Favorable.
NEW YORK. July 20.-R, O Dun &
Ca,'s Weekly Review of Trade today
ays:
Progress Is in the right direction. A
noteworthy incident this week Is the de
cline in prices of all grains, especially
wheat, which was sharply depressed by
reports of exceptional crop advancement
In the northwest Ten days will place
the spring wheat crop beyond danger
from drouth. Distribution in that ac
tion is in excess of a year ago, in im
portant departments of trade from 15 to
SO per cent greater.
In the west, manufacturing plants are
busy and labor is well employed. Higher
wages, large pay rolls and great activity
In Industrial lines mark the progress of
vents. in the Pittsburgh district and
stimulate all branches of business in that
section. A steady demand for cotton
goods and woolens at enhanced cost ot
raw material make for a further harden
ing In quotations.
Scarcity of labor through strikes re
stricts production and causes further delay-
in deliveries. Some little additional
business is noted In footwear, but the
trade is Mill delaying the placing of any
considerable volume of business. Leather
Is more active, and some large purchases
have been made in' the New England
markets. Hides are also In greater de
mand and prices tend higher. Trade In
the south and southwest stlU marks
time.
A widening spirit of optimism Is grow
tag In all sections of the country In spits
M the fact that this is a presidential
year, when ordinarily, some reduction in
the volume of exchange might be ex
pected. .
BRADSTREET'S TRADE REVIEW
favorable Crop Reports Keynote of
Week's Developments.
NEW YORK, July 20,-Bradstreefs to
day says:
The keynote of this week's develop
ments is quite accurately epitomised In
the phase, "favorable crop prospects." As
a natural result optimism as regards fu
ture trade has notably Increased, and
some reflection of this has already been
expressed in a heavier demand from the
spring wheat northwest, where crops are
specially promising.
Moreover, retail trade has been stimu
lated by hot weather and clearance sales,
iron and steel trade retains all ot its
former life, and farmers are already be
ginning to fear car shortage In the fall.
There Is small demand In dry goods. In
fact, visiting representatives of jobbing
houses are. not taking hold freely, though
purchases cover a wide range of goods,
with staples receiving the cajt, while buy
ing of novelties will apparently be de
ferred until drummers make their visits.
Prices ot textiles are firm and tend
higher.
Leather Is strong, and new buying of
hoes Is moderate.
Collections vary, but It is probable that
there has been a little betterment. Busi
ness failures in the United States for the
week ending July 13, were 283, against 253
last week, 239 In the like week of 1911,
218 in 1910, 239 In 1909 and 263 in HQS. '

Senate Committee
Reaches Agreement
On Parcels Post Act
'WASHINGTON, July 20. After 'a dis
pute of more than two months the senate
committee on postoffices and post roads
today reached an agreement on the post
office appropriation bill and the measure
will be reported on Monday.
The parcels post provisions, the prin
cipal matter in dispute, finally was
threshed out ' by Senator Bourne, 'the
author of the provision In the bill, and
Senator Bristow of Kansas, former as
sistant postmaster general.
The . result was a compromise.
Senators Bristow and Bourne, sitting
as a subcommittee on the parcels post,
agreed on a modified form of Senator
Bourne's plan. It retains Senator
Bourne's scheme for a division of the
country Into sones within which rates
for the transmission of parcels shall be
the same. Senator Brstow believed that
the Bourne plan would place rates so
low that the project would be found Im
practicable. To meet his objections,
eight zones were outlined, instead of six
as originally . planned, and the ' rates
proposed by Senator Bourne were slightly
increased. '
The maximum rate remains at 13 cents,
the rate of the postal union.'
Senators Bourne and Bristow agreed
upon the parcels post zones as follows:
First zone, length fifty . miles, rate 5
cents for the first pound, 3 cents for each
additional pound; second zone, length
150 miles, rate 6 and 4 cents; third zone,
length 400 miles, rate 7 and -5 cents;
fourth zone, ' length 600 miles, rate 8 and
6 cents; fifth zone, length 1,000 miles,
rate 9 and 7 cents; sixth zone, length
1,400 miles, rate 10 and 9 cents; seventh
zone, length 1,800 miles, rate 11 and 10
cents; eighth zone, length over 1,800,
miles, rate 12 cents per pound straight.
Maximum package eleven pounds.
Senator Bourne originally proposed six
"i"es, to range in length from fifty to
1000 miles. ,

more than It did at home. He believes
the expense should be charged to the
United States. . -
The president gave 'no figures for the
cost of .the military and naval establish
ment, but said that from 1898 to 1900 the
military establishment cost about $5,000,
COO, which was paid from the revenue pf
the Philippines. That amount has been
repaid, so that the president said that the
United States was: debtor to the islands
to the sum of $2,600,000.
The president made it clear that he re
garded the Philippines as more nearly
self-supporting" than any other territory
of the United States. He wrote: "All
expenses attached to the collection ot
revenues, or to the administration of the
Postoffice department and of tbe courts,
to the survey of the islands, to the con
servation of their resources, and to the
Improvement of their rivers and harbors
end to all similar, public works, which
elsewhere, as in Porto Rico, Alaska and
the Hawaiian Islands are charged against
the national treasury, are, and have been
paid from the revenues of the Philippine
islands."

CUTTING DOWN GROCERY BILL
Features of Co-Operative Store En
terprise Operated in New York
Saburb.
So' high has the cost of living climbed
that people of wealth nave turned, their
attention to a solution of the problem
which hitherto - has . been deemed the
especial problem of the poor. The grocery
bill is invariably the first point of at
tack, on the ground, probably, that,
stomachs being elastic, ' a little experi
menting upon them will do no harm.
Working along- this line, several people
have founded stores which attempt ' to
cut prices and offer" groceries to the
public at very nearly the wholesale price.
These have been established chiefly in
the poorer neighborhoods and. have not
been notably successful,
i Flatbush, an enterprising section of
Greater New York, however, has come
forward with a new co-operative store
In a district where the houses range
from $10,000 to $40,000 in price, and the
gentlemen grocers are lawyers, doctors,
managers ot large businesses and the like.
It scheme of working Is entirely dif
ferent from the other co-operative stores
which have been operated lri New York,
and Is patterned after ' the principle of
co-operation In use in Great Britain and
other European countries: ' ' ' ' ' ' '
Thl principle is still an experiment In
this country, but so successful has It
proved iistilf in England that of the
$3iO,OO0,OO9 expended by members of the
British co-operative stores in 1910, $S5,
000,000 was returned 1 cash dividends to
the members. This was possible because
of the loyalty of the members, and that
Is one of the things' which has made
the Glenwood Co-operative store of New
kirk avenue and East Sixteenth street,
Flatbush, a wonderfully successful prop
osition. The Glenwood store started
with 150 pledged customers, and at the
end of six weeks' existence was doing a
business of $1,300 or $1,400 a week. It is
expected that It will pay a dividend of
2C per cent, which Is the same as cut
ting your grocery bills one-fifth, with
added advantages which wlll. be ex
plained later, ' ;-
The Glenwood co-operative stores grew
out ot the Fiske Terrace- association.

There was a great deal of dissatisfac
tion among the housekeepers of " that
part of the city with their grocers," not
only because their, prices were "high but
because they were not pleased with the
quality, of goods or the weights given.
At a meeting of the association it was
suggested that a grocery store be opened
which should remedy these faults and bo
run on the co-operative plan. Six directors
were chosen to consider the matter.
They were A. W. J. Pohl, an apartment
house builder; A. A. Stuart, vice presi
dent of the Degnon-McLean company,
which is digging a large part of the
new Broadway and Lexington avenue
subways in Manhattan; George F. Miller,
general manager of the American Tin
plate company, one of the subsidary
companies of the United States Steel cor
poration; John M. Evans, civil engineer;
Harris G. Eames, newspaper man. W,
J. D. Washburn, an insurance broker,
acted as chairman of the committee.-
In less than two months the store was
in successful operation, with ' the stock,
the fixtures, the delivery wagops every
thing paid for in cash.
The store has a declared fourfold pur
pose: 1 To furnish goods of first quality.
2. To guarantee full weight,
3. To guarantee full measure.
4. To turn baok to . consumers the
profits upon the trade, they furnish
The scheme of organisation is as fol
lows: Shares cost $25 each, and only one
share can be held by an individual. Only
shareholders can receive the rebate' upon
the profits,-but the store is' open to the
trade of all. The system of the division
pf profits Is based upon the amount of
purchase, not upon the stook, and what
ever profits are earned will be prorated
among" the members.
For example: If the dividend earned la
20 per cent, as It Is now expected, and
you have purchased $1,000 in merchandise,
you will receive back at the time of di
vision $200 In caih.
The store charges the same prices aa
the other grocery stores of the neighbor
hood. Absolutely no effort is made to
cut prices, and the competition between
other grocery stores and the Glenwood
for the trade of the neighborhood not
included among the shareholders is upoh
the same basis. New York World.
How Times Have Chang-ied.
At a recent dinner of Kansas club
women, Mrs. Gertrude Bullln Holllster, a
former-of -Kansas woman, then president
of the Colorado Federation ot Women's
Clubs, was present and responded to a
toast: "Home Folks." To Illustrate the
impression she received by her visit ; to
her native state, she told the following
story: : .
" 'I did not have a very nice time when
I first went to Annabel's,' little Madge
announced on her return home. 'Annabel
was cross as she could be; she Would not
let me play with her doll or touch one of
her playthings.'
" 'Well," replied her mother, 'when I
was your age, had I gone to see a little
friend and she would not let me touch
her playthings, I should have gone
straight home.'
" 'But times have changed 'since yott
were a little girl, mother,' Madge replied
after due reflection. 'I slapped her face
and stayed.' "Kansas City Star.

A democrat in McPherson, Kan., was
asked whether he preferred - Clark or
Harmon. He replied that the situation
reminded him of early days when he
freighted through Kansas with a wagon
and team.
"There were two fords across the Smoky
river near Sallna," explained the Kansan,
"both of which were treacherous. - Meet
ing a Swede one day as I approaehed
the river I inquired of him which ford I
bad better take. His answer expresses
tny sentiments:
" 'I tank I don't know. You dack one
you wish you dack the other.' "Kansas
