SELLING AT RETAIL

INVASION OF TERRITORY

reatauranta and boarding houaea. It 1 aa-

and that an Injuatlce la thereby dona tha

by tha American Grocer, which In a recent
laaua Quote a prominent retailer aa fol-
lowa:

to many constituent, an or woum ...
The ao-called -Jobbers' of today Invade
tha retailer field. Tneee Jouo". i'"

nt larser conaumera The legitimate
prorlnc of tha Jobber' la to aell the retail
tor, and to protect retail atorea by not
bidding against their -maximum quantity
retail purchaaera.
"When a retailor reaehee a certain voi
ma of trade tha further development nat

for Mm to obtain buiineaa from larger con
anmera. euch aa hotela. reatauranta. cafea
and boardlnc houaea It Is atrlctly within
tha prorlnca of tha retailer to aupply theae
larger consumer The supplies purchased
are entirely for consumption, and Jobbera
cannot aell them with any better reason
than they would have for Invading tha
retailers' field In atlll another direction.
Tor example, a wealthy man my have
a larg family, entertain lavI.Uly and main
tain a lrg retlnua of aervanta or a yacht
with a crew, In spite of thla ha remalna
a consumer and therefore l not ""h'"
tha selling province of tha -Jobber. The
wealthy man may desire to reduce hie ex
penses aa much proportionately aa Jlia ho
tel proprietor dealrea to aave all that he
ran on hla Brst coats. Both use their
purchasing power, which Is derived In the
first instance from direct coa-umptlDn. and
In tha ea.ee of hotela. etc.. from Indirect
consumption, to obtain lowest price.
"Larg. retail houaes have bought for
years the carload or maximum quantltlea
aatabllshed by produce, manufacture
and packers. If tha majtnltude of the re
taller business perml-s him to buy In
quantity lota. I aay. no producer, manu
facturer or packer haa buslneae. legal or
moral rlht to refuae to aupply the retailer
direct. It looke much to me like Inter
ference with equal trade eondltlona to re
fuse to aell a -quantity to the retailer. Aa
tt la known that the -Jobber- enter tha
retaller-a legitimate field, tt la exception
ally strong- bualness reasoning to Insist that
Jobber' and retailer alike should buy to
day tha 'quantity at quantity price.' If
the larger retailer la unjustly operated
against he may accept the situation; but
let him at once get hla own brand of a
good flour, and hla own At branda of
staple, canned gcoda. etc The consumer
f today. If he has confidence In hla dealer,
will accept on trial the retailer-a own
branda. and proving the good will buy
them Joet a quickly every time
The retailing end of every oulnesa Una
la really the big end of the game, and some
folka should not forget It."

STOCKS 'MARKED UP
Manipulation Apparent in Mi

SUSPICION IS AROUSED
General Market Falls to Respond
and Hesitating Tone of Prices
Continues to Last Money
Is Firmer.
NEW TORK, Oct. 18. There appeared to
be aome conflict of purpoaa between at Ieaat
two of the atrong parties In th.e speculation
today, although tbelr operation tended to
eom mutual advantage. In one case, tha
aupport of prleea against pressure, without
any attempt to bring abont any advance,
seemed to meet the desired object. In the
other case, there waa an aggreasive mark
ing up of prices, which aeemed dealgned to
Invite a public following in the market.
Th lifting procesa waa almost wholly con
fined to groupa of low-priced railroad and
industrial atocka. in many of which there
are important or dominant holdings by
identical Interest
The ronor railroads brought Into this
movement are believed to be held, in a
large proportion of their total capital, by
the controlling Internet or by organized
stock market pool for th purpose of con
trolling their disposition In the market
Wide price movement are thua made easy
of accomplishment with a small amount
of stocks actually changing hands. If is
thla facility of manipulation which laya
open to suspicion the movement In auch
stocks, especially when the concert or
movement finds no other explanation than
the common ownership or property Inter
est, without an explanation In developments
affecting' th properties.
Such was the effect of the action of
these stocks today. Their etartlng upward
served aa a check rather than a stimulation
to a show of strength In the general mar
ket. The usual leaders of the market
ehowed resistance to reaction, but' aeemed
to balk at attempts for an active demand.
The attitude of reaerve thua Indicated
toward present active speculation was
ascribed to a remnant of apprehension re
garding the political outlook In Europe, to
sums contraction in money market sup
pllea and to a purpoaa to await th passage
of the coming election.
The lower range of prices In Ixmdon.
which were encountered when the local
market opened, had an effect of admonition
ahowlng the dominant fears of the situa
tion felt there. The hesitating tone of
atocka persisted throughout.
Bonds were Irregular. Toal sales par
value. 13.8.10.000. United Btatea 'bonds
were unchanged on call.

MAT THE CLOSE
Bearish Statistics Weaken the
Wheat Market.
LAST PRICES ARE LOWEST
Heary Selling by Iong Holders on
the Bulge Soon After Opening.
Com 'and Oats. Are
Much Lower.
CHICAGO, Oct. IS. An unexpected allow
of strength at Liverpool, where prices were
fractionally higher, despite the closing
weakness here yesterday, furnis.ied the mo
tive for a strong opening in the local mar
ket. Initial quotations showed gains of
hi&So to He, compared with the previous
close. With offerings scanty, buying by
shorts caused prices to advance briskly In
the flrsf few mlnutees of trade. Some of
the big holders apparently were on the
lookout for Just such a bulge and availed
themselves of the opportunity to secure
profits which the upturn afforded. Receipts
in the Northwest continued heavy and sales
of cash grain today at Minneapolis were
not so heavy. 7" here was a fair demand
for cash whoat here at about yesterday's
premiums. Export demand was slack both
here and at the seaboard. An Increase of
8.500,000 bushels in the world's vislbUi sup
ply for the week, compared with .n in
crease of 2,000.000 bushels for tho cor
responding week a year ago. was a bearish
factor in the late trading. The market
closed weak at the lowest point of the day
with December at $1.00 1.00 and May
at ?1.0S.
The corn market was weak all day. New
corn for November delivery was offered here
today In considerable quantity. The mar
ket closed woak with prices He to
lower than yesterday's close with December
at
Oats were weak the entire day. Tha
market closed weak with prices oil 5s3
with December at 4848ific-
Liquidation by discouraged holders caused
weakness in provisions, closing quotations
showing a loss of 20c to 67 u cents.

They Look for a Decline Butter
Holds Steady Eastern Con

SEATTLE. Wash., Oct 18. (Special.)
Trade in all departments on Western ave
nue today was light. Following yesterday's
flurry in eggs, orders fell off today, as many
retailers are looking for a lower market
rather than for any further advance at
this time. Prices today ranged from 48
to 50 cents.
Butter was steady. Several manufacturers
are reporting an Increase In the milk sup
ply. Now that Northern orders are filled,
no Immediate advance is looked for unless
Eastern butter Is forced up.
Veal was In rather oversupply today and
little sold above 11 cents.
Grapes were firm. A car of Michigan
Concords is due this week.
Potatoes are still weak. There Is a
steadily irrowtng demand for apples.
The hide market Is in a little better
shape this week. A few good hides are
commanding 9 cents.

GINGER CP TOUR LIVER
You've heard of the Boss of the Big
Store gingering up his salesmen, the
factory fortman putting ginger into his
workmen, you have even heard of the
Lady of the House gingering the cook.
Now, this gingering is for the purpose
of better results. It Is generally ap
plied upon the appearance of the first
symptoms of deterioration in service.
Gingering the liver is to keep that
important part of the human machine
from getting clogged and impairing
the health. When the liver gets
clogged and doesn't work right, the
proprietor of that liver suffers. Bil
iousness, sour stomach, indigestion,
jaundice, coated tongue, bowel troubles,
constipation, sick headache, are some
of the things from which a disordered
liver makes its owner suffer. Ginger
ing the liver prevents these troubles,
removes them when they catch one un
aware. Lane s Pills will ginger up the
liver. They never pain, never gripe,
never leave any bad effects, are safe
for delicate women and children, and
one i a dose. Compounded by Chas.
