Financial Notes

'"The change, first felt by the man. ufacturer and distributor, is now be- ginning to be felt by the producer, who, we thought, would not feel it for some time to come. Through the producer, labor also is feeling a touch of it. Curtailment in packing and the many difficulties attending transportation possibly may have the effect of holding prices on a high level for the time being, but 1t would seem inevitable that a lower range of prices will prevail.
 Labor conditions are unsettled and ship-building which kept many of the large cities of the territory wide awake during the war time, is now practically on the move. The skilled ship-building labor is leaving the re- zion and the unskil1ed help is jour neying to the lumber camps and so leaving no one to work on the farms. Farmers and ranchmen are attrac lively fitting up lodgings as an incen tive for the men and are also es- tablishing dance halls to make the life in the country attractive to. the laborer.
 Good news in the form of price re- auction came from several large New York concerns manufacturing mems clothing. One house gave a flat re- duction of $5 on all suits and over coats. Some manufacturers of silk hosiery have reduced prices about B 1-3 per cent. as an inducement for buyers now in New York to place | new orders.
 The terms of the credits already | arranged vary considerably; those l from the Scandinavian countries run I -sx
 Dutch credit for five years and those
 from the meat packers for much l shorter periods.
 Liquidation in some volume of Treasury certificates and of loans SUD- ported by both government and cor porated securities in connection with l continual with drawals of government l deposits is indicated in the Federal Reserve Boards weekly statement of l conditions on July g of 914 member
 banks in leading cities. Other loans and investments, including conner cia1 loans proper, show a substantial I increase, as does cast in vault, ap- | parent1y as the result of the return flow of currency issued in large volume to the public by banks during the preceding week.
 The financial difficulties of some of the larger silk manufacturing firms which are being rumored about | the trade have a depressing effect upon the market. Retailers continue
 to buy limited amounts of goods
 mostly for immediate delivery and I use. The raw silk market is extreme 1y dull, with manufacturers of silks } holding out of the market pending it's : stabilization and revival of interest
 in finished goods Some trade lead CTS seem to think that for two more : months the market will be dull.

 The surprising fact that the average Chinaman pays less than five dollars a year for his clothes, was announced recently. It is said that if the Chinese were to pay one-quarter as much as Americans for clothes, there would not be cotton enough in the world to clothe the four hundred million Chinamen. At present China is clothed largely with cotton from our own southern states.

Enemies Who Think Him Down

Their Mistake.
SpcciAl Dispatch From Every Evening =
WAShingto Correspondent.


Washington Correspondent.
Washington, Feb. l9.-President VIII
son is improving every hour, physician
who is fully acquainted with the course
of his illness said today. He has taken
the reins in his own hands and poiti-
clans of both parties are taking ANXIOUS
heed. His great intellect is working nor
mally, thd physician declared, and soon
he would be as strong physically as he rs
mentally.
The President is apparently taking little
notice of persons who charge him with
responsibility for what they predict will
be the failure of the Peace Treaty. The
facts as they are gradually coming to
light show clearly that Secretary Lansing
had interposed obstacles at every stage
of progress made by the President toward
what promised TO be the successful dis
position of the much controverted ques-
ton.
The former premier is even accused of
acting in concert with Republicans who
did all they possibly could to bring dis
comfort to the administration. During the
Presidents s illness the Secretary of State
had many interviews with opposition
Senator'S. OF course, this was his privilege
but ii is pointed out he WAS more frequent
" in apparently amicable conference with
men who opposed the President than with
Senators who were known to be friendly
to the League of Nations.
They think they have the President
down and out. " said former Congressman
Edward heating, who is ono of the re-
classification commissioners for the Dis
trict of Columbia. but they will find that
he has dangerous kick in him, a kick
which will probably throw them all over
board"
