dispatch to the New York Sun today

that reason, if none other, his candidacy
is out of the question.

Adam Joyce, OF the mint. the British

the very good reason that gold coins,

"The People of India" said Mr.
Joyce. hoard all the gold they can get
their hands upon. India is the resting
place for untold quantities of gold coins
and gold ornaments and gold bullion
The Indians never give up piece OF
gold, once they get their hands upon

Empire sends silver coins to India.
There is stored at the mint for the
treasury at the present time $500, 900, :

held there upon behalf of the United

BUSINESS ANXIOUS
ABOUT THE FUTURE
Federal Reserve Board An
nouncement Contains Warn
ing Of Low Production
TOO MUCH LABOR UNREST

Washington, Jan. 1.---American busi-
ness feels anxious over what the future
holds, the Federal Reserve Board an
nounced in its review of December
business conditions. The continued ad
vance in prices, the reduction in pro-
duction and the high cost of living are
regarded as a commercial menace.
Although the retail trade showed
great activity and wholesalers and
manufacturers are piled with orders,
the growth in business, the report said,
was in terms of dollars and not in pro-
duction. High priced labor refuses to
work regularly and demands short hours
with the consequent falling off in pro-
duction..
Uncertainty as to the developments
of the next three months is retarding
expansion in trade, the report added,
as cautious manufacturers were said to
be inclined not to commit themselves
far into the future.
Labor unrest showed some abatement
during the month. but the idleness of
workmen was considered a greater prob
lem than systematic strikes.
The housing congestion was expected
to be relieved by the increase in con-
struction, which the report predicted
would be stimulated by a decrease in the
value of raw sites.
The statement says in part:
Reports from the twelve Federal
Reserve districts refer to the increase
in the cost of living as an unquestion
able menace, and in some districts 1t is
reported that retailers themselves recog-
nize this fact. The work and save
program is reported by some to be con-
sidered hackneyed or obsolete. High
wages are resulting chiefly n q reduc-
ton of labor time. According to one
report much of our skilled labor works
only sufficient days during the month to
keep going. The effect of excessive
wages has been that of destroying regu-
lar standards of living and the recog
nized basis of prices"
From various districts it is noted
that the growth of business is far more
noticeable in terms of dollars than in
units of production, while there is some
indication that the very high prices
already are beginning to produce a cur
tailment of buying power.
However, in virtually all districts
primary emphasis is placed on the gen.
eral distribution of purchasing power
and the freedom with which recipients
of wages and salaries are eXpending
their means in the purchase of goods.
The report from thS Philadelphia dis
trict states that "the enormous demand
for commodities of all kinds has been
far from satisfied Cnsatisfied demand
is reflected in higher prices
In general, manufacturing activity Is
great. Shoe manufacturers in the
Philadelphia district are now operating
with sufficient orders ahead to last until
spring but it is noted that high prices
have to some extent tended to check
| purchasing
