ENCOURAGEMENT SEEN
IN: THE COUNTRY WIDE
TENDENCY TO ECONOMY
Some Recession in Bushes.
Caused, by Increasing Trans-
portation Difficulties

Notwithstanding some recession IN
business, encouragement Is to be de-
rived from the growing resistance
to high prices and the manifest ten
dency toward economy throughout
the country, according to the market
letter in the June Commerce Monthly
published by the National Bank OF
Commerce in New York. In so far as
this tendency applies to luxuries, to
non essentials and to excessive con-
sumption of necessities, they consti-
tute a needed corrective to the pre-
sent situation, the bank declares.
"Some recession in business is in
evidence as consequence of increas-
ing transportation difficulties and of
a reduction in public buying" the
letter states. Inability to make de-
liveries of materials because Of rail-
road conditions has retarded turnover
and prevented the releasing Of an
enormous volume of credit, thus &C
centuating the credit stringency.
"While in the retail market there
is slackening of demand and a
downward trend in prices, in the pri-
mary markets there are indications
Of interpretation, tending to sus-
tain prices. The relative strength
of these two forces is not yet clear.
The output of iron and steel during
April shows to a marked degree the
effect of the railroad strike..
"The building movement continues
to be retarded by rail embargoes,
scarcity of money, excessive costs of
materials and by labor conditions.
"An extreme shortage of farm lab
or still continues, and this, in combi-
nation with a very late season, has
served to delay all farm work and to
lessen acreage planted. In most sec
tions weather conditions have been
more favorable for wheat growing
than those which prevailed during
April.

will Contest Predicted.

BOSTON, Aug. I6-A trusted clerk,
Arthur 7. Walker, a, who until recently
was hustling for his subway train every
morning and complaining about the SER
vice furnished by the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, will soon have at his command
$50, 200, 000-if the will of Edward Frances
Searles, multi-millionaire of Methuen and
New York, signed 10 days before his
death, is upheld by the courts.
Walker is employed in Searle's New
York office, and any day may be found
in the Empire building at Il Broadway,
bordering over ledgers and accounts.
There is every indication, however,
that the gift of vast fortune to the
clerk will be vigorously contested by
Searles's heirs, and the attempt to break
the will may develop into one of the
greatest contests in the history of the
state.
The Methuen multi-miliionaire was re-
ported to have owned the controlling in
terest in the New York Globe. This
ownership now will probably pass into
the possession of the modest clerk.
Walker entered the employ of Searles
in the latter's New York office a number
OF years ago as assistant to the late Viii
liam Shillaber, the millionaire's first New
York representative.
The paragraph in the Searles will be
queathing the greater portion of his es-
tate TO his clerk reads as follows:
'All the rest, residue and remainder OF
my property and estate, both real and
personal of whatever kind and wherever
situated of which / shall die seized or
possessed, including all lapsed legaeies
and devices and any property over which
| may have any power of appointment at
the death, l give, devise and bequeath
unto my fiend, Arthur T, Walker, his
heirs and assigns. absolutely and in fee
simple absolute forever"
According to friends, Walker is the
type of man those who knew Searles in
timately would expect him to be inter
ested in. Walker dresses well, but mod
cstlv He shuns the limclight.
''Ie is always the gentleman and is
modestly personifed,' according to the
way in which a friend characterized him
These qualities are said to have been
among the things that recommended him
