Q. R. store and other local clothing stores, says O. H. Renner, manager of the big establishment at Los Angeles and Center-sts. Many stores have been doing the same thing. The result of this, combined with the receiving by growers of orange pool returns, has been that since May 1 business for the first time this year has shown a distinct improvement. January and February maintained a trade level that was practically unchanged. Then in March business got scantier, and the downward tendency was continued throughout April. Renner is offering tomorrow shoes for both sexes and all ages at particularly low figures. He NEW STYLES IN SUMMER STRAWS New styles of straw hats are being featured this summer, says L. A. Lewis, manager of the local J. C. Penney Co. store. There is the Yeddo straw, for instance, made in Switzerland, which is about half the weight of the ordinary straw hat and extremely stiff. It is one of the higher priced brands. Then there is the braided straw of new type never before shown, made of selected wheat straw with brown and white alternating. What Lewis claims are the largest and smallest hats ever made are being displayed. They show what the Kiwians will feel like before and after going to Denver, says Lewis. The big one is about a yard in diameter at its longest and big enough to enclose four or five ordinary heads. The small one just about fits a good sized thumb. TH CREAM OIL SOAP and Cocoanut oils as nature's finest signed for use on and for all nursery BOBBED HAIRS Many stores have been doing the same thing. The result of this, combined with the receiving by growers of orange pool returns, has been that since May 1 business for the first time this year has shown a distinct improvement. January and February maintained a trade level that was practically unchanged. Then in March business got acuter, and the downward tendency was continued throughout April. Renner is offering tomorrow shoes for both sexes and all ages at particularly low figures. He has already held clearance sales of goods in the men's and boys' furnishings department, ready-to-wear goods and silks. A peculiar condition exists at present advantage of which the public would be foolish not to seize, says Renner. It is true that cotton is higher than it was a few months ago and wool is firmer, while silk prices are well under control, but the manufacturers' supplies and the public demand have not yet reached a parity. The factories are operating, but mainly in order to keep their forces together. Many goods are cheaper than in months past. Woolen and cotton goods are lower, for the reason given, and silk is unusually reasonable because of the competition from glos, formerly known as artificial silk. It appears improbably that the present lower prices can continue indefinitely, while July clearance sales, as indicated above, will not be much rarer than in former years. SEBASTIANS MAKE LARGE PURCHASE Sebastian Bros. yesterday received the first consignment of the largest purchase of goods the store has ever made, J. P. Sebastion announced. They were obtained of Milton G. Cooper, formerly Cooper, Coate & Casey, one of the largest wholesale houses west of Chicago, who advertised on the eve of removal to his own 12-story building in Los Angeles, that he would move nothing but the books. Among the articles bought were 50 dozen dresses, consisting of volles, ginghams, etc. The local concern purchased goods in every department below the market prices. Ginghams are now lower than at any time in two years past. The prices of notions offered by the big metropolitan house also were favorably commented upon. These goods will be on sale during the rest of the month. Sebastian predicts a firm market, however, and found that Los Angeles wholesale houses gener- Then there is the braided straw of new type never before shown, made of selected wheat straw with brown and white alternating. What Lewis claims are the largest and smallest hats ever made are being displayed. They show what the Kiwanians will feel like before and after going to Denver, says Lewis. The big one is about a yard in diameter at its longest and big enough to enclose four or five ordinary heads. The small one just about fits a good sized thumb. MERCHANDISE IS LOWEST IN YEARS Many goods sold at prices for which they could not at present be manufactured—that is the situation that merchants are facing at present, said the manager of a prominent drygoods store. Prices are actually lower than in years past—lower than during the war on the first post-war years. The reason is, stocks have been moving slowly, trade has slackened up all along the line, and the money tied up in goods must be set to work again. Merchants can afford a loss, if their turnover is large, because they will recuperate themselves on the next purchases. Some good brands of silk stockings are among the articles that are actually selling below present cost of manufacture, according to this manager. This store will feature tomorrow staple and seasonable merchandise—goods that the housewife, for example, can use either for summer or practically any time of year. Cotton, woolen and silk goods all are low, altho the raw material of none is particularly cheap. Articles other than staple commodities or goods are being sold as usual at cost of manufacture plus a reasonable profit. The average consumer, particularly the woman buying for her home, has rarely been in so fortunate a position before, because she is reaping the benefit of a certain degree of trade stagnation in certain sections of the country that affect the market as a whole. The manager interviewed confirmed the statement of another store manager that the July clearance sale is being largely replaced this year by a number of smaller, departmental sales of special lines of goods. NEW DEEP TEST IN DOMINGUEZ FIELD The Union Oil Co. of Calif. has set a new deep test drilling record for the Dominguez field. The Union's Gardena No. 1 shows 6550 Among the articles bought were 50 dozen dresses, consisting of volles, ginghams, etc. The local concern purchased goods in every department below the market prices. Ginghams are now lower than at any time in two years past. The prices of notions offered by the big metropolitan house also were favorably commented upon. These goods will be on sale during the rest of the month. Sebastian predicts a firm market, however, and found that Los Angeles wholesale houses generally are not bidding against each other for the business nor cutting prices. The new Sebastian store is scheduled to be opened on or about Sept. 1. a month later than first announced, but it is somewhat doubtful if the contractors can complete it in time for that date. WALNUT GROWERS ELECT DIRECTORS The annual members' meeting of the California Walnut Growers' Ass'n will be held Thursday at 10 a.m. at the headquarters in Los Angeles. Directors will be elected. Secretary-Manager Walter Ross of the local association voiced the hope today that as many as possible would attend. Committee and directors' meetings will precede that of members. Japanese Threaten U. S. Consul General TOKIO, June 11.—The life of U. S. Consul General Kemper at Yokohama was threatened by a Japanese workman Sunday, police admitted today. The workman visited the consulate with a drawn dagger and told the Japanese clerk in charge he would kill Kemper unless the consul promised help against enforcement of the Japanese exclusion measure. The man was arrested. FRANK TINNEY IS HELD TO GD. JURY NEW YORK, June 11.—Frank Tinney, noted comedian, was held for the grand jury under $2500 bail into custody on a charge made by Imogene Wilson, beautiful Pollies girl, that he beat her unmercifully recently at her apartment. NEW DEEP TEST IN DOMINGUEZ FIELD The Union Oil Co. of Calif. has set a new deep test drilling record for the Dominguez field. The Union's Garden No. 1 shows 6550 feet of hole and drilling is going right ahead. When the Union Oil Co. completes this well the landowners should be pretty well satisfied. In addition to being the deepest hole yet drilled in the Dominguez field the Union Oil Co. holds second place on the well for rotary drilling in the shape of a world's record. As yet the Garden well has not shown any oil indications and the outlook is very doubtful. The Garden Union well does not make the outlobk very bright for the southwest side of the field. The General Petroleum Corporation is satisfied that the southwest side of the Dominguez field is pretty much of a gamble and has shut down the Austin well at 5400 feet to await field developments. The General Petroleum Corporation's White No. 1 and Garden No. 2 are assuming deep test aspects at $000 and $400, respectively, and add to the Union's findings as to the doubtful character of the southwest section of the Compton field. The L. B. Chase Oil Co., it appears, is thrung with the Dominguez field as formal announcement of the abandonment of the well has been filed with the State Mining Bureau. The L. V. Chase Oil Co. made an honest effort to get production and quit only after going to A104 feet and not finding any showings or encouragement of any kind. WOMAN DEFENDS SELF WITH HATCHET LOS ANGELES, June 11.—Bruised and cut about the face and body, Carlos Tennis was held by police today, after he had been struck by a hatchet in the hands of Mrs. Josephine Edmistin, who charged Tennis was breaking into her home when she attacked him. Tennis is charged with attempted assault.
