SOME ENCOURAGING FACTORS

Industrial leaders are speaking with qualification of the unexpectedly great increase in labor efficiency and also in tic attitude which many of the wage earners are now taking toward their employment and their employers, as well as the gratifying attitude which many of the employers are assuming in their relation to labor.
 One of the authorities is quoted as having said that the day of extraordi- nary wages Is gone, but SO also has the day of extraordinary profits For that reason the more speedily the re- adjustment to these new conditions takes place the better it will be for the whole country. Although there have been heavy reductions in wholesale prices, nevertheless it is known that s fair margin of profit at the lower rates is secured. Many of the com mondities are now and will continue to be considerably above the prices which they commanded prior to the war. An other encouraging factor to which ref circles is the fact that business fail ures have been comparatively small, although it might have. been expected that the number of these failure would have been larger when the suddenness of the present reaction is considered. So also it is spoken of with gratifica- tion that the financial houses have for the most part weathered the storm.
 Although considerable anxiety has sbeen felt by farmers and others be- cause the market price for farm prod ucts has fallen so greatly, yet a careful estimate has been made which shows that the prices of farm products are nearly j per cent better than the aver age for the five years preceding.
 One of the best authorities said this morning that with the new wealth which the crops will make possible, fol- lowed by the increase in buying power. the general situation of the country, although not entirely satisfactory. still con tains all the elements upon which recovery and ultimate stability can be based The depression is regarded as no more than temporary, although no one can predict how long it will last. The best judgment seems to be that it will be over early in the spring.

BUYING LIBERTY BONDS

This disposition is not however. con. fined to small investors. Many millions of capital have been invested in Liberty Bonds by men of wealth. In some cases almost all tn encome which is left after the government has received it's propor- tionate part in the way of taxes is put into Liberty Bonds. These have been bought at the prevailing low prices. The purchasers know that ultimately they will be redeemed at par by the government and that some of the issues are likely by and by to command a higher price than par. Furthermore, the interest will be paid whenever due.

Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND

New York, December Especial )- Savings banks presidents speak of the extraordinary increase in deposits made Tn the present year as compared with the year 1919, as something which seems to be in refutation of the prevailing re- ports of business and industrial depres- sion. The presidents cannot explain this remarkable increase in deposits eX- cepiing upon the presumption that the wage earners attitude toward their earnings has changed during the pres- ent year. When they were receiving very large wages many of them were disposed to extravaganza, That dispo- sition seems to have ended. The say ings banks of New York state have now on deposit considerably more than $2,500, 000. This increase has been made at a time when the people were also putting some part of their earnings into the postal savings.
 The increase for the year as com pared with the year 1919. is somewhat more than 10 per cent but curiouslv enough, considerable part of this in crease was made in the months of Octo- Der and November, when depression was the greatest. It has heretofore been the habit ot savings banks depositors to take out of the bank in the last months of the autumn and in December a larger amount of money than they de- posit in those months. This year, how ever, much more money has been de- posted than was withdrawn In fact. the increase In deposits in October and November as compared to the same months of last year was approximately per cent
 This increase in savings banks de- posits, together with the evidence of the prosperity of wage earners which it eagerly is spoken of as indicating an unusual degreo of thrift among the wage earners.
 In fact, it has been carried so far thAf the retail shops report a falling off in trade People as whole are buying 10 more than is sufficient for actual needs. They are putting by all that they can. Furthermore, it is observed that large amount of Liberty Bonds have been purchased by those who hav< small savings, and. in fact, many small investors so to call them have found Liberty Bonds a a.tempting means of put. ting their savings in place of securi, ty, with fair interest returns upon tho investment

upon the experience of mail order sales There are reports that some of the mail order houses have been experiencing q falling off in sales of nearly 50 per cent compared with the sales in the autumn months of 1919. But savings banks deposits are increasing. Inves- tors are putting money into Liberty Bonds and into other non-taNable se- curities, so that it is regarded. as rea- sonable to assume that the falling off in the sales carried on by the mail-or- der system can be explained in no other way than by the spirit of thrift which appears to have as thoroughly domi- mated the people now as did the un- precedented spirit of extravaganza which mastered the people up to and Immediately after the armistice.

Strikers Plan to Close Every Coal
 Mine in England
Associated Pres4 Lealsd Wye.

LONDON, Sept. 21.- Failing an eleventh hour development, virtually every coal mine in the United King dom will be idle next Monday, a meeting of the delegates from all dis tricts today having accepted the re- port of the executive committee Of the federation to the effect that noth- ing had been achieved by the negO- tiaticns to prevent strike. The del egates also indorsed the proposals which the executive committee made 10 Sir Robert Horn, president of the board Of trade.
 The next move, therefore. appears to be with the cabinet which met to- day to receive Sir Robert Horne's report. It is considered possible that that cabinet may reverse the decis- ion of the president of the board of trade that the question of an increase Of two shillings demands by the min CTS on which the negotiations broke down, must be referred to an inde- pendent tribunal As Sir Robert had frequently consulted with his col leagues during the conferences. how ever, it is generally believed that they agree with him. It is unlikely that the miners will give way on their demand for an immediate in- crease of two shillings. A few dele gates were opposed to striking, in view of public feeling against it. and there was considerable minority which voted against the strike
