Aug. 22 VP) Business shows "a few signs of moderate quickening," Dun and Bradstreet Inc., reported today in its weekly trade review. "Retailers," said the mercan tile agency, "reported broader interest in new fall merchandise accompanying the drop In tem peratures. "Some automobile manufac turers were swinging rapidly into production of new models and both the electric power out put and railroad freight traffic touched new 1940 highs. "Transactions increased slight ly in commodity and security markets, with prices up slightly over the lows of the preceding weeks. There were some expansions in wholesale quarters for fin ished goods, although no notice able change in merchants' cau tious attitude toward future com mitments. "Wholesalers felt the Improve ment at retail In an immediate increase in spot orders. The na ture of the inquiries again In dicated that retailers were run ning close rb shore in the mat ter of stocks. "Wholesalers reported several Instances where orders showed more interest in deliveries than In prices. Yet there was still no significant pickup In forward purchasing. "With the quickening of re tail turnover, reorders on the ready-to-wear lines took the spot light. Calls from stores in the heavy-industry areas were said to be especially numerous. Or ders on bridal and bridesmaids' apparel were reported in larger volume than usual at this sea son. "Large backlogs in heavy in dustries are a major factor main taining production at the 1940 peak. Lines outside the sphere of national defense particu larly light consumers' goods have suffered somewhat from distributors' reluctance to order ahead, but even in these indus tries activity continued to hold well above the level of a year ago."

The yellowjacket circled and came back again and again. "Next thing I knew, I was on the ground looking up," An drews told hospital attendants. He had two broken ankels. Take A Tip From This Smart Old Bird, and KLAMATH CROP SEASON SHOWS ADVANCED GAIT Klamath basin crops generally are maturing earlier than usual this year. Potatoes are said to be about two weeks ahead, a condition that may result in an earlier dig ging season than usual. Digging for small and Immediate ship ments has already started, but it will be several weeks before the harvest is in full swing. Recent surveys show the acre age in potatoes la larger than last year, whereas It had been expected before planting that there would be a slight decrease. With the condition of the crop good, it seems certain it will equal or exceed last year's 7385 carloads. First shipments this year brought $1.50 per sack, but since then prices have dropped to $1.25 and $1.10. G. R. Hyslop has Just finished Inspecting fields for certified seed In Klamath county. Be tween 600 and 700 acres, or about the same as last year, have been planted to certified seed. The clover harvest is in full swing, also two weeks in advance of normal. Yields are a little un der normal but acreage is great er than a year ago. Most of the grain rron is "made" but there is still danger of frost In some wetter areas on Lower Klamath and Tule lakes. The grain harvest is in full blast on the huge fields of leased land.
