Many Unfayorable Features Re-
ported by Irving National Bank
In Mid Month Review.
CROP YIELD REASSURING
Final Payment Of Anglo-Freneh
Loan Lends Aid to 0verworked
Money Market.

Unsettled conditions in trade and
industry, a rapid and steady fall In
wholesale prices Of nearly all COM
modities, a decline in the market
values of grain crops and cotton,
continuing high money rates and a
relative increase in failures are the
unfavorable features of the domestic
business situation as reported by
the Mid Month Review for, October.
just issued by the Irving National
Bank of New York.
TO offset these" the Review says,
there are positively reassuring
factors, such as the marked better
ment OF transportation conditions,
large final crop yields, a recent in
hux of immigrants which promises
to restore the balance of man-power
in industry and increasing conf
dence on the part of investors.
Noteworthy also is the ease with
which the final payment of the
AnglO-Fre loan was accomplished
at a moment when our own gov
ernment financing made extra de-
mands on the market, while the an
nouncement Of a weekly production
Of 10000 900 tons of bituminous coal
and normal conditions again in an
thracite assure the country against
any fuel shortage and provide sub
stantial surplus for export needs"
British Coal Strike.
The British coal strike, the Re-
view observes, adds a discourag-
ing element in that it's reduction OF
producing and buying power in Eng
land-and in lesser degree in France
and Italy-will probably react on
American exports other than coal
itself. The possibility Of increas-
ing dislOcation OF British industry
and shipping through lack of coal
is a cause if instability in foreign
exchange throughout the world.
The fall in wholesale prices has
not been paraIIeled by a decline in
retail prices. Coupled with the be-
lated arrival of cool weather. this
fact has gone a long way to ac-
count for the slow buying gener-
ally noted and the halting way in
which trade has gone forward. OF
the recent general declines, the
most rapid has been in breadstuffs
and the smallest in meat. Many
manufactured products have weak
ened in sympathy.
"A change for the better appears
to be taking place in the efficiency
Of labor. although the situation is
far from satisfactory. In eighty
cities a movement is under way to
obtain. and in fact, in many places
already has obtained, the open
shop. The movement seems in
spired not by employers but by pub
lie organizations such as chambers
of commerce and merchants assO-
Citations, rejecting popular dissatis-
faction with the widespread under
prOduCtiveness of even the best
paid labor.
Building trades are in a most
unsatisfactory condition. 1t is not
the inflated wages which are sig
nificant, but the systematic curtail-
ing Of labor-productivity which has
caused a marked falling off in
building construction. In 147 cities
during September, only s8S,000,00C
was spent on building construction
a decline Of 81 per cent. from Au-
gust and the smallest total since
April, 1919"

ADVANCES FEATURE OPENING

New York, Nov. 2l.-The resis-
tance manifested by the stock mar
ket to the unfayorable foreign news
today was considered more signih-
cant than the decline in quotations.
Of from one TO two points The fail
ure Of prices to break sharply fol-
lowing cables from London that the
British railway employees would
strike at midnight Sunday unless
negotiations had been opened for a
settlement OF the coal strike was
accepted as proof OF the strong tech
nical position Of the stock market.
Early in the session the general
market was strong, with advances
Of from one to two points. After
midday an easier tone developed and
prices began to sag. The downward
movement was accelerated by the
foreign news which came in the
early afternoon. Lowest prices Of
the day were made near the begin
ming Of the last hour Of the ses-
ever, a slight rally developed due TO
covering by professional shorts.
The close was irregular.
Call money loaned at seven per
cent all day. Shortly after the
close a small amount OF money was
loaned at eight per cent.
Large commission houses state
that there is practically no partici-
patton by the public in the market
at this time. This is proven by the
fact that the amount Of their bor-
rowing fail TO show any expansion.
Partners OF the big firms. say they
do not look for any Increased in,
