Development OF
Corean Commerce

Report from Tice-Consul Raymond S. Cur
It's, SeouD
Several influential business men OF
Toxic, it is reported, have decided to
establish a factory for the manufsct-
urc of beet sugar at Pyeng Yang. The
proposed capital of the new enterprise
is 100000 yen (s2 ,492 500. and it is
planned to export the product to China.
Il is also stated that the promoter of
the company is the head of the Japan
Sugar Manufacturing Company of
Toxic.
The manufacture of paper is de-
scribed by the Seoul Press" as ono of
the most promising industries in
Chosen. 1t is almost general in the
peninsula, but especially prospers IN
South kyongsangdo, followed by
kyoHgkido, North Chonlado and North
kyongsangdo. The paper produced in
these provinces, the press" says, is of
a superior kind, made of the bark of
the paper mulberry. 1t is generally
known as koryo paper, and is much
used for windows or for wrapping pur-
poses. It is largely exported to China,
the yearly value of the exports reach
ing 100000 yen (S49,850). The method
Of manufacture has, however, been
crude, with the result that there were
differences in the size and thickness of
the paper even in the same roll, and,
what is worse, some clay was not in
frequently mixed with it, in order TO
make it heavier.
The newspaper states that efforts
have recently been put forth by the
government general to remove these
defects, and to attain that object ex-
perts have frequently been dispatched
20 provinces where the manufacture of
paper prospers. Various measures for
encouragement, including the giving of
subsidies, have also been taken, and
these have gradually resulted in i'm
provement in the method of manufact-
Ure. Many manufacturers have now or
ganized guilds among themselves with
a view to improving their products and
facilitating their sale.
Some manufactures of Japanese pa
per, from waste paper, rags and other
materials, have appeared. Not few
factories for the manufacture of paper
have been established, among which one
established at Keuipo. near Fusan,
about four years ago, is worthy of no
tice. A plan has recently been in prog
ress to put the company under Japan
csc management, inviting capital from
that country. Generally speaking, the
industry is expected to become one of
the most important in the peninsula.

ord high gross and net earnings the
railroads are not in position TO ask
the Interstate Commerce Commission
for higher freight rates. Hearings
will begin next May or June, per-
hsps, and higher rates may possibly
be granted by next winter. The fact
that the railroad valuations that arc
beginning to come in indicate that the
roads arc overcapitalized is very
strong argument against granting in
creased rates at all. The shippers
will object strenuously to paying
higher rates in order TO pay diyi-
dends on watered stock. The Inter
state Commerce Commission will 90
very gingcrly about raising rates un-
ill most of the railroad valuations
arc in. This means that general in
crcases will not be granted for years.
Meanwhile the patient may die.
When he finishes reading this
heerful little disquisition, it would
ot be surprising if the would-be in
estor in railroad securities were so
haken in his convictions as to post
zone making visit to the brokers'
flee.

Last weeks stock market Will 90
down in history as one Of the most
memorable in the history OF wall
Street. When, without warning, inc
spectre of war appeared stocks
broke violently. The unexpected
ness of this news caused holders OF
securities from all parts OF inc
country to sell without regard to
intrinsic values, and prices got curl
ously out of line, not only in relation
IN values. but in relation to the
,{evs. If there were not so many
other discrepancies i'll the list, one
might assume that the probability OF
our Joining issue with the Allies
had been interpreted by the market
as a thing which would adversely al
feet the credit of France and Great
Britain. At the close on Saturday

ties SIS showed net loss of point,

MONEY MARKET
READY FOR WAR
Frank A. VanderIip Says
Half Billion Loan Could
Easily Be Placed
at Once

War with Germany would not af
feet appreciably the money market
Of this country. The banking stu
alton is SO comfortable that it could
assume all the burdens that such a
condition would impose on it with
out disturbance.
Frank A. Vanderlip, president of
the National City Bank, is author
ity for these statements. Asked
yesterday what would be the first
effect on the financial world should
war come, he said:
"The first thing to happen would
be the floating Of great govern
ment bond issue. The first call
would probably he for $500,000,OO0
That would be readily taken care Of,
and you can imagine with what
speed when you know that the other
day we placed s2OO,OO0,OOO of Brit
ish bonds with hardly any one TAX
ing notice of it.
THE whole banking situation in
this country is sound and so COM
Portable that new burdens could be
borne without any hardship"
Mr.. Vanderlip said that while the
tendency was toward tighter money
he did not look 10 any appreciable
change in the money market in the
event Of war.

MILLS AND BUYERS
NOW HOLDING BACK
Decline in Staple Restricts Market for
Cotton Goods

Fall River, Feb. 4.-There was small
trading in the cotton goods markets
last week. The sharp declines in cot
ton had the effect of reducing what
little business there was and buyers
attention was detracted from market
conditions. Just as soon as the cot
ton market broke on Thursday buy
ers withdrew from the cloth markets
and awaited developments. On the
other hand, manufacturers studied the
cotton markets very thoroughly and
did not influence buyers in the least.
Mills declined for the most part TO
accept business offered by some buy
ers on the basis of lower cotton values,
and this refusal had the effect OF
keeping down the volume Of business.
The reduction in cotton has made
prices very firm and manufacturers
are insisting upon full asking prices.
Some mills are so situated that they
cannot accept business in any great
extent LOT SeNtIdi Nerho " NOihC ~
cause their production is sold that
far into the future. What little bust
ness there was last week was con-
fined to the wide end Of the market.
The narrow division is relatively
quiet and transactions have been few
and unimportant. The call for spe-
cialties. twills and sateens was light.
Fine goods manufacturers report that
business is fair,'and it is stated that
on some lines of plain goods slight
reductions have been made.
A year ago middling uplands cot
ton was quoted on the New York Cot
ton Exchange at II cents pound
and Saturday il was quoted around
1870 cents a pound. A year ago 28-
inch 64x64s were quoted at 3a cents
a yard, and Saturday the same goods
commanded a nominal valuation Of So
cents a yard The cotton yarn mar
kets are much easier and prices show
a decline On some counts prices are
irregular and goods can be secured
in moderate quantities. On other
counts the demand is still keen and
spinners are well sold up.
The total sales Of cloth for the
week are estimated at $4,000 pieces,
of which about 10000 pieces are spots.
The week closed with the demand
light and prices lower in some in
stances

islature is to have Congress realize
that that same organization has only
selfish ends to serve. OF course
there are times when business must
defend itself from attacks of igno-
rance and prejudice. But if it confine
itself 10 that course alone it Will
never get very far in public or legis-
latiye favor. II must add things con-
structive to its programme and have
a fashion Of speaking its mind plain
ly and fearIessly on public questions
if it will really identify itself with
the public welfare.
And this is the growing spirit
among the members of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States, as
its recent meeting only too clearly
set forth.
First, it endeavored 70 make evil
dent that unity of action among its
own members was essential to any
enduring success of the organization
as whole, so that the jealousics and
misunderstanding Of competition
had first to be eliminated where the
general interest of the national
chamber was concerned. The mere
gathering together Of so many rep
resentatiyc men of all trades did
much to bring this about by the sim
pie process of getting acquainted,
and thus establishing the basis Of
common knowledge and understand
ing. Then, too, great bodies of men
are peculiarly responsive TO those
methods and sentiments which para,
doxically may be said to appeal to
their practical idealism. At this
meeting there was a general recoglll-
ton of that new spirit Of national
ism which is founded on cooperation
and public service. II is the spirit
in especial which further realizes
that the business world has no cause
for complaint of those things which
60 awry when business men sit
supinely by and shirk their obvious
duties because, like Martha of old,
they are so busy with their own af-
fairs that they neglect matters of
great national morrent.
Now, business men are not phi
lanthropists nor pink tea Sunday
school superintendent and have to
make money in their business or quit
the game. But each age and each
generation has its way of success, so
the way to-day is not that Of yester'
day. And the new way to-day, espc-
cially for organizations, is along
broader and more liberal lines than
those which marked and sometimes
disfgured the past. To this new way,
the way to win success for the bust
ness world and to enable it to best in
fluence legislation for the general
good was the way set forth and eX-
cmplified by the presidents, past and
present, Of the national chamber as
the only sure foundation of perma-
nent success.

Practical Idealism the
New Business Aim
Its Spirit Is the Nation First,
and Success Comes as Selfish
ness Is Discarded
By ARCHER WALL DOUGLAS

Few things so we'll Illustrate the
changing attitude of business to the
great social and economic problems
of the day as the meeting of the
Chamber Of Commerce of the United
States just held in Washington. I'm
fortunately the actions of many busi-
ness associations in the past too
often gave some ground to the pub
JIG belief that class interest and class
prejudice held far too great sway in
their deliberations.
Inevitably, therefore, the influence
upon public thought and public legis-
lation was inyersely in proportion
to the extent that some class benefit
was sought rather than the public
welfare. The hydra-headed many
who make up public opinion have a
memory as long as a winter night
for those who seek legislation of such
nature under the specious guise of
benefit to the multitude. There was
still general vivid recollection of
tariff revisions, where, in the lam
guagc Of Henry Ward Beecher, in
terested manufacturers not only put
both feet in the manger but kicked it
over besides.
Most fortunately and most oppor-
timely when the national chamber
was born it had as its first president
a man whose motto and slogan was
service to the public first, and the
interest Of his own class second, and
long second at that. This, of
course, seemed a rose water theory
of academic nature to business men
of the past generation who had long
grown accustomed to that game
where business went into politics to
get what it could for itself, for often
it seemed question of self-preserva-
ton that it do so, since every other
class Of men set it this example. But
that same president of the new or
ganization had not only vision but
sensed the new spirit of cooperation
and common understanding which
then was only in its beginning. So
the initial resolutions, referendums
and such like actions of this national
business organization were along
the lines that what was good for the
public must necessarily in the long
run be good for the business world,
since the Utopian dream of every
business of any vision is world Of
intelligent consumers Of high pur-
chasing power.
Fortunately, again, the succeeding
presidents have known no other
creed than this. For it was soon
clearly seen that there was but one
practical way to realize one of the
formal ambitions of the national
chamber, the ambition to have con-
slant and decided though entirely
beneficial effect upon legislation both
state and Federal, and the way and
means thereto, as they say in the
Prayer Book, was to impress legis-
lators that the national chamber had
no axe to grind, nor any concealed
niger in the woodpile. Mere num-
hers do not count with Congress so
much as some people imagine, for
whatever may be the naturally hui
man failings Of Congress, each Con-
gresham in his heart wants to do
that which makes most for the com
mon veal.

organization with our national leg |
