Advancing Credit

The credit stringency and the
banks reluctance or positive re
fusal to loan even on the best Sc
curity and for perfectly legitimate
enterprises throw serious barrier
In the way of export financing. The

pication of this policy holds grave
possibilities.

OF half n billion dollars 10 relieve

Samuel NeuClain. while opposing
government credits at this juncture
makes the need Of immediate relief
no less apparent. Upon his recent
return from Europe he is quoted as
saying that the sooner American
business men extend credit 10 bus
mess men in Europe and help.

sooner conditions will improve
everywhere and the sooner prices
will decline.
Since the foreign credit agitation

alton now definitely out of the run

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
The Trend of Prices

Prices show downward trend.
They have shown a like trend, real
or imagined. on more than one
occasion since the armistice. but
never so pronounced. Tempera-
mental optimists believe. and many
other persons affect 10 believe, that
prices have reached their peak and
Will begin a slow but sure decline.
Stern facts which the popular
mind is anxious TO ignore suggest an
opposite conclusion. How can prices
show a marked and permanent re
ductiOn within the next several years
when supply runs continually behind
demand and the world needs labor,
manufactured goods. and foodstuffs
in vast quantities? How can prices
fall when highly paid and poorly
paid labor alike is demanding wage
increases of 80 to 80 percent? After
with the miners. the
nation faces new demands by textile
workers. building tradesmen, rail-
road employees and the whole gamut
of organized labor. not TO mention
the needs of unOrganized la Dor
clerks. farm hancs, civil service en-
plOyes. and salaried men generally.

Farmer object of Taxation.
In casting about for means OF
raising revenue. either in addition
10 or as a substitute for that raised
Oy the excess profits and corporation
income tax. members of congress
have carefully surveyed the differ
ent groups Of producers and dis
tributors. The farmer is made the
special object of taxation in the
Nolan bill. which lays a one percent
tax on land held in excess of $40, 900
valuation. Like other groups the
farmer is 10th 10 assume that por-
ton of the common burden fixed
upon him by this or any other
measure until he is convinced that
rival groups are taxed for a proper
tionate amount. The task of ap-
portioning the war taxes is a very
difficult one, and the legislators
should find the business man, the
farmer, and the wage and salary
Garner each willing to do his share.
while demanding rigid economy in
government expenditures
England has decided 10 include
farm labor in the 4ShOur week
ing TO 1902 per week The Ma
tiOnal Agricultural Workers union
has never sought TO restrict the
hours OF farm labor TO as in all
seasons of the year. but wishes TO

Country bankers and farmers re-
joice in the assurance that the fed
eraI reserve banks will furnish
funds to move the winter wheat
crop. The railroad strike has tied
up large sums in last years crops
held on the farm, and agricultural
needs OF the new season find the
money market in a very strained
condition. Northwestern and south
western banks report that the max
imum OF credit has already been
extended 10 help carry Old-crOp sur
pluses and that new crop demands
will cause serious embarrassment
unless there can be liquidation in
the meantime.
Farmers are cheered by the es-
pecial efforts which the interstate
commerce commission is making TO
increase the car supply available
for the movement or grain. Market
prices have been artiicially slim
ulated by the car famine and light
receipts resulting. While more
liberal movement will tend TO
weaken prices. il can hardly be
large enough 20 knock the stays
from under present market levels.
The farmer will benefit.
Freight T'ieuD InterferSs.
The freight tieup has interfered
with spring delivery of fertilizers.
Unless fertilizer stocks remaining
can he put in the farmers hands
by early June at the latest their
valu" for the present season will be
practically lost. Fortunately traffic
conditions have bampered distribu-
ton in the south. which depends
largely upon fertilizers. much less
Il an in the north. The demand is
Unsuitable. and the manufacturers
should net handsome profits this
Year. Owing TO the scarcity, top
dressing has been suggested in
preference TO uses which consume
a larger quantity of fertilizer.
A 50 percent Increase in freight

brOtherhoods gain acquiescence in
thsir demands for a minimum wage
81 80, 500 per year for all railroad
employees. Textile operatives, build
ing tradesmen. and other groups are
CIamoring for higher wages and the
end is not in sight. With farm

farm owner finds himself in a seri-
Gus prcdicament. The reduced acre
