Lumber Less Active
But Trade Journal Reports In.
creased Export Sales
Business Ne;cs Bureo


ST. LOUIS, March 29.-The lumber
market has not shown the activity dur
ing the last week that it did the week
previous, owing to the price djust-
ment negotiations in progress at Wash
ington. There is a demand for lumber,
according to Lumber" but it is finding
expression in inquiries as to stocks,
prices, etc, rather than in actual
orders. Both consumers and retailers
are evidently awaiting the outcome of
the price conference at the capital and
hoping, without economic reason, for
concessions.
"The most encouraging news comes
from the Far West" Lumber" states,
"where export sales are growing in
volume daily and such sales are having
an effect on local demand in stimu-
iative and rice-strengthening way.
Oak flooring and shingles, two unfail-
ing indicators of building activity, are
beginning to move in better volume to
the rural districts, and prices of the
latter are showing an upward tendency.
p So far the volume of industrial build
ing has not had any appreciable effect
upon the general lumber market. Prices
of both hard and soft woods remain
firm. Manufacturers are not disposed
TO make any concessions, nor will they
do so unless the Washington confer
ence DEGREES otherwise"

Flower of Fabrics
j. A. Nigel Tells How II.
$. Silk Products Have
Been Made Beautiful and
Improved in Quality

The war gave American msnuf.c.
urers of high grade silks the lorr
sought opportunity to display ths;sr
skill in devising weaves and patterrs
in the manufacture of which the French'
and Swiss had held the premier nos;'
ton. And since domestic mills have
shown what they could do they are not
likely to be forced into the background
when conditions in Europe are fullv
restored to normal.
The striking progress made by United
States manufacturers in producing silks
of unrivalled texture and design has
been clearly brought out by J. A. Nigel.
the we'll known silk manufacturer, in a
paper published in the annual report of
the Silk Association of America
Mr.. Nigel says: "Cut loose from the

of novelties is covered by few stripes,
checks and foulard prints. During the
last twelve months the novelty horizon
has so broadcned that manufacturers

field for exploration and very ready
sale for their output, but they have
realized that large production is not
necessarily curtailed by the most costly
fabrics''
Mr.. Nigel declares that Individuality
of thought and action has severed our
dependence upon the Old World-a de-
pendence that had virtually undermined
our own individuality and creative
genius.
"Thc war has taught u.s." he adds
chat we have sufficient creative power

manufacturer cannot be expected to
work or new materials and spend
weary months Of experimentation to
overcome the most disheartening diff
culties to create new fabrics which

Mr.. Nigel suggests that the Law Of
Unfair Competition should be amend
cd so as to give the originator Of an
idea full protection for a definite pc
riod-say, two years: After such
definite period the fabric could become
public property, freed to all. Under
such protection every first class mill
in this country would bring forth It's
quota of creations, SO that after the
initial period our American industry
would each season have a wealth of
ideas with which to run its large
plants"
"Such law would obliteratc an
abuse that drives buyers Of expensive
creations to European markets. These
purchasers fear to order high class
novelties in America lest before their
orders are delivered cheap limitations
fall into the hands Of their competi-
tors. Granted this relief. the novelty

When Redemption

More domestic products are domesti-

By II. ]. Davenport

Profcssor Of Economics, Cornell University
wv HAT will the unpegging of ster-
w ling mean?
The best answer is in what
1egging has meant. England has been
a great buyer in America; has con
sumed more war goods than the mar
gin of domestic production over civil
consumption left available for war
purposes; it has therefore had to bor-
row from America or to sell in America
its holdings of American securities and
properties. In some part the English
owners sold in America their invest
a"ents and bought English bonds with
the rroceeds-thus rendering these
proceeds available to the government
as purchasing power in our markets. In
the larger part the government bor-
rowed these securities from the owners
or bought them outright, and then sold
or pledged them in America.
But together with all this there were
private English importers who were
buying enormous amounts of goods
from America for English civil con-
sumption. How were these importers
to arrange for payment? Exports to
America we're not adequate to balance
the imports. One way out of the diff
Guilty would have been to send us moro
goods; another, to buy from us less
goods. But here came in the effects of
the English infations of the currency.
Prices were pushed so high that Eng
land had difficulty in sending to us
what goods the war left available for
civil consumption either in England or
America. 1t paid the English producer
better to market these goods at home
at the high prices which imitation was
establishing at home. Importation
from America was being stimulated
through the same cause The Ameri-
can goods had, then, to be paid for in
some other way, or the purchase Of
them somehow prevented. Regulation
and embargo availcd only partially.
There was still large balance Of in.

New-York tribune., 1919-03-31
Lifting Beyond
Productive POner

The fact was that, between war CON
sumption and civil consumption, Eng
land was living vastly beyond its pow
crs OF current production. Not only
was 1t attempting to buy heavily on
government account through govern
meat credit, but Mt the same time it
was buying heavily on private account
for civil consumption. This second
sort of buying was stimulated by the
imitation policy. The high prices were
attractive to foreign sellers. But high
prices are not attractive to foreign
buyers; exports were being retarded.
How, then, was the account to be set
tied, the adverse balance covered?
For time, however, the thing went
on-the process following out it's ira
ditional and normal and easy, but dam
gerous, way, England settled it's debts
through exports Of gold. Such is, in
deed, the normal effect of the high
prices that result from currency in
fations. Such is also the normal way
of setting q limit to the credit in1a-
tion and Herewith to the price in
f1ation. The initiating country loses it's
gold. The outgoing gold is not only
so far reduction of the currency,
but it is also subtraction from bank
reserves. Thus limits are imposed on
the further expansion of bank credits
probably also a contraction Of credit
takes place. Both things are, in fact,
certain If the export of gold continues
long. The export will, in turn, con-
tinue so long as the relatively high
prices obtain. Imports are retarded
by the falling prices, the exports re-
cover and the currents Of international
of approximate equality between i'm
ports and exports-goods imported paid
for in goods exported Commonly,
therefore, it is only through the ex-
tension of public borrowing that any
great and continuous excess of buying
over selling becomes possible.
But, for 50 long as it will work,
imitation is way of importing more
goods than a country has goods to
pay with--only that, if gold redemp
tion is maintained the period of work
ing is short-thc limits narrow within
which imitation can expand imports
beyond exports and make possible an
excess of spending over producing
But, for so long as gold payments are
maintained, the domestic market re-
domestic producers to sell in and a
less attractive market for either for
eign or domestic purchasers to buy in
Thus the imitation process sets up
promptly an export of gold

land had a cash balance to be somehow
provided for. This restricted selling
of products and this stimulated buying,
that had resulted in gold exports for so
long as the gold remained for export
and permission continued to export it,
and that should have ceased with the
peggng served artiicially to support
and indefinitely to prolong.
Such is, in truth, the essential mean
ing of the pegging device. Refusing to
permit the further export Of gold that
the high prices would otherwise have
made inevitable, and refusing to limit
the expansions of credit that we're
making inevitable the high prices,
England was compelled to face the al
tentative Of permitting her currency
and all the exchanges payable in it to
go to a discount in foreign markets or
to provide an artificial support to her
currency in international exchanges. A
large adverse balance Of debt must
continue to pile up in America so long
as the export of goods failed to bal
ance the imports and gold was not per-
mitted to be sent in payment. This
balance for immediate settlement could
be avoided only by the substitution of
increased obligations for later settle
ment-deferred balances.
All this is only another way of say
ing that, under the actual methods Of
management, England's policy of do
mestic imitation was making constantly
to exaggerate the excess of English
consumption over English production
"a larger absorption of its own
products in domestic uses. larger
participation by English consumers in
the products OF foreign industry. an
increased national deficit to be financed
through increased indie ebtedness abroad
These are the unavoidable effects of
the relatively high level of purchasing
power artifically attached to English
currency for purposes of foreign trade
This is what pegging meant govern
ment support for English exchange in
foreign trade.
