Ordinarily statement such as
that in which Elbert H. Gary,
speaking for the steel industry,
called for lower prices without re-
ductions in wage rates might have
been expected to exert a depressing
influence on the stock market. But
the prospect of lower prices took no
one by surprise, and, besides, the
statement was highly optimistic In
comparison with some of the recent
utterances of others not so we'll
qualified to discuss conditions and
prospects in the basic industry.
Moreover, it was supplemented by
another statement issued in connec-
ton with the untitled tonnage statis-
tics of the United States Steel Cor
poration in which Judge Gary as
serted that the Unexpectedly small
decline in orders on the books at the
end of November resulted chiefly
from the fact that shipments were
heavier than new orders and that
cancellations were not abnormal.
Also. the weekly production figures
showed increases where decreases
had been looked for. Under the cir
cumstances it was not surprising
that the market should become ex-
ceedingly cheerful and buoyant un-
der the leadership of Steel common.
The Marine deal has lost mono of
its interest by the substitution Of
the United States government, in
stead of British syndicate, as the
prospective buyer. Although 1t was
officially stated yesterday that
there are no new developments to
report" London advices indicate
that British consent to the transfer
of the ships involved will not be
Forthcoming.
Money is decidedly easy at the
moment, largely because uncertainty
has caused business men to use
greater caution in making new COM
mitments, so that the demand for
commercial credits has subsidized. But
it is the opinion of bankers and
economists that this is only tenn
porary condition and that high in
terest rate for an indefinite period
is in prospect. Rates have been kept
down artifcially during the war
period, but it is unlikely that they
can be kept down under peace con-
ditions, when arbitrary control is re-
laxed and Federal securities must be
sold on a business rather than a
patriotic basis.
Although statements issued by the
Railroad Administration have given
the general impression that the gov
ernment has been generous in ad-
vancing funds to the railroad corpo-
rations, calculation made by Fran
els H. Sisson indicates that there is
actually balance due amounting
to more than $500,000,0OO. That
probably accounts for the fact that
many of the roads have been heavy
borrowers at the banks in recent
months. They have been compelled
to borrow millions of dollars at high
rates of interest, although the GOV
ernment was in possession of funds
to which they were entitled.

You must reach the cause of the dis

and you cannot reach the blood by

Give your blood a thorough cleans

This is the logical treatment, and it
has proven its great worth in hun

receipts on opening day and holiday
dates in the Western league this year
will be pooled and evenly divided be-
tween the eight clubs as b result OF
an agreement made by the magnates
in their final session.
The schedule which calls for 140

The opening date is May /, with the

The meeting was M of the most
harmonious ever held by the Western
leaguers ind President Dickerson was

The league will cut off about 1900

total mileage being about 100000.
With this saving in railroad fares and
the pooling Of holiday receipts the
figure the league will be
able to pull through the season with

A Sluggish, Clogged-Up Circu-
lation Causes Skin
Eruptions.

Eczema is called a skin disease be-
cause the tiny little germs which
cause the disease set up their colony
on some portion Of the skins surface,
and here spread their irritation that
800 begins to burn like flames of
fire.
There are other forms Of so-called
diseases Of skin, such as letter, boils,
pimples, acne, erysipelas, scaly erup-
lions, bIotches and rough irritations,
that are a ource of much pain and
annoyance.
And, while these disorders are gen.
orally referred to as skin diseases,
they are really traceable to q disor-
uered condition of'the blood, and they
are never experienced by anyone
whose blood is free from impurities.
II you are a victim of any form of
these painful and irritating disorders
OF the skin, causing, as they do, such
constant annoyance, you canont ex-
pect any real benefit from the local
treatment so generally used, such as
lotions, ointments, s~alves, etc.
