 Shoe Concern

Big manufacturers realize the value Of the truck for short hauls The item Is so comprehensive in figuring costs that some of the large manufacturers are beginning to realize the vast op- portunitfes before them and the as surance of dependable service will set their product to the freight house for direct freight connections.
 Don Drennen, president of the Bir- mingham Motor company has just re- ceived a confidential letter from one of the big manufacturers of shoes In the east, which gives some enlighten- ing figures and shows how the big manufacturer is figuring.
 The truck is a solution of location for industries away from the large metropolitan centers. It allows them to establish in smaller cities and towns. Not only can better sites be secured

London, March 1.-Whether q bishop should be compelled to live in a castle regardless of his own desires for a more modest and less expensive home is a question which is agitating the clerical authorities of the diocese of Worcester.

New High for Tobacco.

The announcement that American To-
bacco intended to make Il capital re-
adjustment and that considerable of its
stock had been purchased in the open
market by United Retail Stores came as
a surprise to those who had refused to
take seriously reports of important de-
velopments in connection with these COM
panies earlier in the week. 1t was
learned yesterday, however, on good au-
thority that statements made In morn
ing papers to the effect that Whelan in
terests had obtained control of American
Tobacco are not based on good founda-
ton As a matter Of fact It Is under
stood that James B. Duke is now the
dominating factor in United Retail
Stores. He and interests affiliated with
him not only control Retail Stores but
have acquired control of American To-
bacco, the stock of which went yesterday
into new high ground, selling up to PIG
and closing at 27419, n net gain of y
United Retail Stores also sold as high
as 1871. The news of important de-
velopments in American Tobacco has
been referred to several times In this
column, but the interesting fact is that
James B. Duke. who SOLD his American
Tobacco holdings four years ago, has
returned to control in this company by
way of participation in the United Re
tail Stores Company and his purchase
of American Tobacco stocks in open mar

The s53,1s6,14O Deficit.

Much to the surprise of the banking
community the Clearing House statement
disclosed deficit in surplus reserve of
53,1S6,140. The week before there was
a surplus of $45,6S1.2s0. In figuring the
deficit no account is taken of the $685.
$4,000 cash in own vaults held by the
banks. Were this included there would
have been a comfortable surplus. This
situation indicated that il will be an easy
matter for the banks to correct the
deficit in reserve without resorting to
the eXpedient of calling loans or refusing
to extend maturing loans A feature of
the bank statement was an unusual rise
in time deposits, which increased $780,
100000 at the time that demand deposits
fell off S46,323,00O. The net decrease in
deposits was heavily overtopped by the
decrease of $103,41S,000 In the reserve
of members of the Federal Reserve
Bank. The bank statement would have
made a worse showing il it had not been
for a remarkable increase In United
States deposits, against which no reserve
is required. These deposits aggregated
$427,640,0 900 at the close of business on
Friday, against s1s1, 100000 in the week
before. The State bank and trust CON-
panies, not included in the Clearing
House statement, gained $10.o17,000 in
reserve, and their reserve percentage
was 20.3.

While the copper market continues dull
and superficial, appearances indicate that
several more weeks may elapse before
a big buying demand for copper devel-
ops Walkers Copper Letter points out
that copper at 20 cents a pound is cheap
compared to costs of any and all COM
moditles which come into competition
with it, The letter continues "Funda-
mental conditions are not nearly so I'M
favorable as superficial appearances indi-
cate. There is an extreme shortage OF
copper in every Industrial country in the
world except the United States, That
business must get going again Is a state
ment which is not open to argument. The
brightest minds of the world are en-
ployed removing obstacles and making
way for resumption of industrial prog
ross. They will be successful and sooner
than most people believe industry every
where will be going forward again much
as Il was prior to the war, Copper will
he used more freely in constructive woIf
than it has been. The high cost of coal
will give great encouragement to electri-
cal developments. The future outlook fo,'
the metal Is unusually promising, Rat
for the time being the copper market

comparative dullness. 1t simply is wait
ing for such adjustments as will make
possible for demand and supply to get
together.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


Quiet confidence in the outcome OF the
steel strike with the prediction that the
market is in a position to rise sharply
after the labor situation is settled one
way or the other and that a narrow
traders affair will continue until the
time of settlement characterize the mar
ket letters issued yesterday. Hayden,
Stone & Co. say I'm the face of more
uncertainties regarding the future than
have developed since the improvement
in prices and general business set in last
spring the market has really given a
very good account of itself" Lamborn

stock market is unquestlonably the ra-
pidity with which stocks rally after pres
sure is removed, indicating a good tech
meal position" Halle & Stieglitz say
"The behavior of the market generaiiy
during the last few days Of uncertainty
would seem to indicate that higher prices
have not yet run their course and that
therefore purchases of the stanuaru
steels, coppers, equipments and oils seem
warranted on reactions" Clark, Childs

Expansions in Loans.

The bank statement yesterday sprang
a surprise in the form OF an entirely un-
expected expansion in the loan account.
which rose no less than S242,9S4. 900.
This advance. which was unheralded,
carried the total of loans discounts and
investments to $5,32s, 662. 900. the largest
in local Clearing House history. This ex-
pansion appeared to have been due in
part TO temporary advances by banks to
enable tax payments which had to be
met in cash, and in part to enable cash
investment in the new series of tax GER
tficates which were put out during the
week. There appeared to be nothing in
the form of speculation to account for
this expansion. There was no doubt an
expansion in time loans by the banks,
but this did not exceed 100000, 600.
There were no authoritative bankers
available to explain the loan expansion
after the appearance of the bank state
ment, but in important quarters II was
asserted that the expansion was tempo
rary and an Improvement would be
shown next week.

remarkable, taking everything into
consideration never the less the in.
dustry is capable Of being greatly Ell.
larged in this county within the next
f, W years, and it is our prediction
that it will be greatly enlarged.
Farmers engaged in the dairy buSi-
ness should carefully grade their dairy
herd and eliminate all COWS that co
not show profit by individual COW
tests AS they are able to increase
their herds, they should provide good
warm stables and silos for their milk
cows, and where possible install milk
ing machines, both for the purpose
of reducing the labor connected with
the indus tty and for sanitary reasons.
These Improvements of course all
cost money. but they will more than
pay for themselves in tht long rur
and should be provided at the earliest
date possible.
In time we should like to see
creamery established in this coun :
to turn this cream into butter and
cheese right here where the cream i
produced, and market nothing +
the finished product We see great
future for this industry in this oun-
ty, and the wise ones are those who
will so shape their farmingoperations
as to get statted i'm this daiiyiI z
branch on a safe and profitable basis
at this time, and in years to come
they will be among the really well To-
do Of this county.
