ing offset our current Indebtedness.
London is already shipping gold to
various parts of the world in settlement
of british imports and will be corre-
spondingly less inclined to send the
precious metal here unless obliged by
conditions more favorable to us than
now exist
In trade circles there is ample con-
fidence. though somewhat less activity
in certain lines. Unreasonable optim-
ism is giving way to more sober opin-
ion. and business generally is being
conducted on mere conservative lines.
On all sides complaints are heard con-
corning the present high level of prices,
not only by consumers but also by pro-
ducers and distributors. 1t is true the
great industrial combinations are en-
joying more prosperity, partly through
trade activity and partly through their
new ability through organization to Sc
cure better profits Labor is FORUM
ately sharing this activity and is well
employed. But these cases are not
universal. and in mercantile circles
there is frequent complaint of the cost
of doing business and of diminished
profits. Consumers, too, are complain
ing, and in many cases high prices are
already checking consumption. This is
especially noticeable in the cotton in
dustry, where the price of the staple
has been pushed up so high as to en-
barrass manufacturers, while retailers
fear to stock up at prices which COM
pei the consumer to economic.
Conditions favor fairly active stock
market with sharp fluctuations in eth
er direction Probabilities of the bulls
regaining free control of the market
under present conditions are very re-
mote, especially as stocks are contin-
ually passing from strong into weak
err hands European uneaSinesS must
Berlin is weak and any break abroad
would be promptly felt here. There
decline in prices while general condi-
tions remain is intrinsically sound as
they now are: but look out for changes
in the current.

More Monkey Business.

Walla Wallans have been entertain
ed today by monkey attached to a
hand-organ and man, the exhibitions
having been given on the principal
corners of the business section for
what few small coins the DarWinian
specimen was able to extract from the
spectators. "Jocko' was overly So
ciable and much amusement was caus-
ed by his minute search for living in
sects in the hair of those who gath
cred about him. He seemed to have
a great distaste for Garden City ca
mines. and the suggestion was made
that Poundmaster w. G.. Gates secure
his services in the capacity of assistant

should be approaching season of gold
probable at the moment than an inflow,
owing to foreign opposition to specula-
tive movements here. The possibility
of an inward movement has been ma
terially diminished by our short cotton
crop and the high prices for grain and
meat products; although as far as
making exchange is concerned the in
crease in values may somewhat COM
pensate for the loss in quantities.
Our imports continue heavy, Septem-
Der amounting to 1921, 100000, the larg-
est of any September on record. Il is
encouraging to note that our exports
on record for that month, amounting
to nearly s1454,0OO, 600. The result was
an excess of exports amounting to
$4,000, 900, compared with an excess of
over $4,000, 900 a year ago. On the
other hand, since January l the excess
of exports has amounted to only $92,-
0OO. 600. compared with $432,000,000 the
same time last year. 1t will take.
therefore. some length of time to re-
cuperate from the serious setback,
which out foreign trade received dur
ing the current year. Much of the re-
cent increase in both imports and ex-
norts must be attributed to anticipa-
ton of effects of the maximum and
minimum clauses of the new tariff, the
application of which is already threat
enins serious friction with France, Ger
MANY and other countries. Since our
foreign trade is not upon a normal
basis it is difficult to forecast its out
come. though it is easy to see that con-
ditions are much less favorable for
gold imports than year ago. We are
already heavily indebted to Europe.
while London, Amsterdam and other
foreign centers have been active sellers
!, of our securities during the past week.
Some important new security issues
are pending, notably the Pennsylvan-
ia issue, and a considerable portion of
these will be placed abroad, thus help
