New York. Sept. 17.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
The weeks reports spell progress
in agriculture. finance, trade and in
dustry. Much nee1ed warm weather
has given an impetus to the maturing
of the large corn crop. winter wheat
threshing has been facilitated, spring
wheat has begun to pour into the
markets and export trade in grain
and cotton has expanded.
In financial lines, while prices for
securities continue to mark time, the
pushing of negotiations for a large
foreign loan here have righted the
foreign exchange market and stiffened
prices of farm products. the export
of wheat and cotton being thereby
facilitated.
Despite excessive heat which tends
to hold back retail demand for fall.
most centers and primary markets
for cotton goods, partly stimulated
by the rapid price advance of the
Southern staple have been much more
active.
The power of increased pay rolls
in sections long active on war order
business is DelnS manlleSteu III actual
demand, as well as in stimulating
optimism as to the future. In the
metal working lines skilled help is
becoming increasingly scarce. No
great scarcity is visible in common
labor, however. Strikes are quite nu-
merous and cover a wide range of
industry.
The wooden goods manufacturing
trade has a larger percentage of ma
chinery running than for many months
past. OF the wooden. as opposed to
worsted, spindles, Is per cent of the
countrys capacity is engaged on war
orders and reports from the New
England shoe manufacturing trade
indicate enlarged capacity on domestic
trade. though most manufacturers are
working below normal
some time past, collections are easier
and farmers. who are credited with
having plenty of money are expected
to promptly meet maturing obliga-
tions.
Throughout the South feeling as
well as performance is on the up
grade. thanks to industrial activity
at manufacturing centers. improve
ment in lumber and higher prices
for cotton as well as for its products,
10 to 1Ohc being the range on raw
cotton. while cotton seed brings SIS
to s27 a ton. On the Pacific Coast
and in the far northwest developments
run in the direction of betterment.

porate management morals. the minor

tions are clamoring loudly for better
treatment, and in most instances re-
ceiving II.
Notwithsta nding denials from author
itative sources that the Rockefellers
are considering the sale of control Of
the Colorado Fuel, the stock continued
in demand and rose to a new high price
for this movement Subsequent events
may show, as has occurred in several
of tho war brides, that the insiders
know less about what is going on in
the market for their shares than they
are credited with.
When Allis-Chalmers sold up to the
new high price of 46 1-2 several weeks
ago on aggressive buying, directors OF
the company confided that the shares
were selling far above their intrinsic
value. Subsequently the stock eased off
materially. and the directors were COM
plimented for their truthfulness. Either
the directors are too conservative over
the stock prospects or the public in lis
zeal to make money is going in blindly.
