GENERAL CONDITIONS.

That there is nothing alarming in the sltuatl' in the country and that buying in greater voun will soon be athe order again is contended by week review of the National Bank of Commerce. Advan sheets of the Review for November 19 just at han discussing sthis phase of the situation, says:
 The determining factor in the entire sit uation continues to be the reluctance of con- sumers to buy, partly because of their ex- pectation that prices may go eveh lower, and in part because of the curtailriient of pur- chasing power of large sections of the buy" ing public Farmers are not purchasing ac- lively at present because prices of the prod uets which they have to offer in exchange have declined sharply. Wage earners hes- tate to purchase because their earnings are being curtailed by increasing unemployment and in some cases by reduction in wages.
 The adjustment of prices to new condi- tions of supply and demand has proved difficult Two factors the buying side of the eaaation offer much encouragement, however In comparison with those classes whose i1eome increased rapidly during the period of rising prices, the decline in prices which has already taken place has increased the purchasing power of salaried employees and persons in receipt of fixed incomes from investments. Large crops assure fair vol ume of buying throughout the agricultural parts of the country especially the grain states. Farmers unquestonably are delaying their purchases until the prices of what they must buy approach the level at which they must sell their corps As that level is ap- preached, they will buy in increasing vol ume. because their position is essentially sound

and enjoy life at the same time The shows that this has been the case in hundreds oe thousands of throughout the country. In other words, the tendency in this country has been to follow the rule that obtains in France and many other sections of Europe where the farmers live in town and cultivate the soil instead of actually resid ing the farm. The increase in farm production which is the important thing, has been satisfactory according to statistics.
 Another for the very slight increase in the rural population of the country has been the increased use of labor saving machinery the farm IL does not take as many people to produce given quantity of crops it did ten years ago.

HARDING SETS new
PRECEDENT IN HISTORY

Washington, Dec. 6:-Presdentelect Harding today
addressed the senate member of that body setting
new precedent in American history.
He told his colleagues in brief informal talk that
while he would always be mindful of the senat place and
responsibilities in the government he would also remember
and expect the senate to remember he president.
Harding requested cooperation declaring it was nee
essary for either congress the executive to surrender
Ito the other.
He also urged the senate to make the three remain
ing months of the Wilson administration fruitful time
instead of so much time wasted.
His speech was made after Senator Lodge asked the
chair to recognize the senator from Ohio.
Senator Lodge is asking recognition for Harding,
said he could not refrain from calling attention to the
fact this is memorable OCCASION"
For the first time member Of this body has been
elected president He is here and venture to suggest
the senate before he leaves his business here"
While the galleries and senate applauded, Vice Pres
iden Marshall left his Office went to Hardings seat and
escorted him to the platform from which Marshall pre-
sides This action brought renewed outburst Of ap
plause. Harding appeared nervous when he began to
speak, When had finished the entire senate arose and
applauded and he was quickly surrounded by colleagues
eager to shake hands.
When he had been speaking five minutes, Mrs. Hard
ing, accompanied by Mrs. Edward Mclean and her
retary Miss Kathleen Lawler appeared in the galleries Of
of the other senator's She black hat trimmed with
blue pmes and long navy blue accordion pleated cape
After the senate adjourned she held promptu recep
tion in the gallery ases.
In his address Harding said:

this opportunity to say to you informally of the

This brings me to the thought particularly in my
