The world is passing through a
severe economic crisis. Prices are
falling, business is stagnant, and
credit is stringent IN many countries.
Largely because of the federal re-
serve system this country is sure to
weather the storm without a panic
or industrial collapse. Even now the
business gloom is being pierced in
a few points. In the copper and
textile industries, deep price cuts
have caused demand to broaden
slightly. No large sales have occur
red, but latent purchasing power, at
prices satisfactory to the consumer,
is indicated.
Recover in Spring.
Best opinion fix next spring for
the appearance of recovery. The
crop-moving strain will be over then.
Money should be easier, prices lower
and stocks of goods depleted. These
are the stage settings for better bust
ness.
Prices Decline.
Every step down the ladder of in
flation brings business nearer to the
solid ground of stable prices. On
NOV. DTduSCFeeL 1nQeX NUMBER
of wholesale commodity prices was
"a ga per cent below the peak
reached in February. The number
fell z 1-3 per cent in October. These
are the biggest declines for the in
dex for any month and for any year.
World Exchanges.
Worldwide financial stress is re-
flected by further decentralization of
European and South American ex-
change rates. This is drastically re-
ducing the currency of many nations
in American markets. Our sales
abroad are in danger of being check
ed at a time when an outlet for sur
plus stocks of cotton, wheat and
other commodities is needed
Bank Clearings.
Bank clearings measure the coun-
try's business activity. Last week
they declined AS per cent from the
previous week and 13 per cent from
the same week last year. This re-
fleets lower prices as we'll as shrink
ing trade.

DON'T HOARD

but don't hoard. Don't starve your
soul to feed your locker. Don't di-

OF your usefulness just to increase

more than meat and the body than
raiment.
Money itself is worthless. Its on.

Is nothing more foolish than irving
to see how much filthy lucre you

boarding is process that reacts
dlsastrously on character. Under its
baneful influences the juices of gen

Therefore, don't hoard.
What | ap1 saying about money ap-
plies to everything. Don't hoard

The very genius of religion is to
forget self in the effort to promote
the happiness and welfare of others.
But you have seen people who
acted as though they were afraid
there might not be enough of God to
go around, as though residential &C
commodations in heaven are limited.
This is the worst kind of boarding
to get a spiritual blessing aud try to
keep it to yourself.
If you hoard it, it will spoil.

Farmers Strike Futile.
Wheat prices continue downward
despite the farmers strike" Julius
Barnes, formerly head of the U. S.
Grain Corporation, has declared that
values are sufficiently high. He pre-
diets prices will be adjusted by for
eign demand. Flour prices at some
centers have dropped to 1917 levels
and cheaper bread is brought near
er.
World Crops.
Reports of a wheat crop gain of
lOO,O00,000 bushels in Canada and
of 100000 tons in India have help
ed depress American wheat prices
Good yields are indicated in Aus
tralia and Argentina also. These
facts foreshadow a smaller demand
for American wheat. The govern
ment reports the largest corn "car-
ry-over" on Nov. l recorded in the
United States in 20 years.
Cotton Market Weak.
Hopes for Accent cotton are be-
ing abandoned in the South. Al
around IS cents a pound the market
is near pre-war levels. The weak
ness reflects the worldwide business
slump, which is closing down textile
mills in England Continental Europe,
as well as in this country. Organi-
cation of the proposed $12,000,000
export corporation may help the sit
uation.
Sugar Still Falling.
The promise of American bank
ers to come to the aid of Cuban
planters in financing their crops has
not stiffened sugar prices. The
head of a large sugar company de-
clares the bottom had not been
reached.
Cheaper Tires.
Some large tire manufacturers
have announced price reductions.
Dealers with surplus stocks are at
tempting to dispose of them by
slashing quotations. The tire indus
try continues depressed with no pres
ent prospect of immediate recovery.
