BIG BUYING CONTINUES

General Merchandise in Steady

Chicago, Jan. 24.-The general re.
ports covering the state Of wholesale
and retail trade all through the Middle
west continue to reflect extremely
prosperous conditions. While there ars
difficulties arising from car shortaqs
and scarcity of labor in many indus.

well employed at such high wages is
evidence of sound conditions prevail.

ing else. So long as manufacturers
are able to sell their output at high
prizes. and wholesalers and retailers find
no. difficulty in selling at virtually apy
prices they care to ask. the chances
Of reduced prices are small.
Steel plants report tremendous de-
mand for structural material, but the
difficulty is in obtaining cars. The
last week there has been increasing in.
ability to get cars and this is prov
ing as much of a problem as the labor
situation in keeping down the produc,
tion of the plants. With cars and
labor plentiful there would be rapid
expansion in the production.
General merchandise continues to be
in steady demand, and the volume of
business is in excess of a year ago.
Buyers continue to be present at the
trade centers in much larger numbers
than a year ago.
The retail trade, according to all
reports. shows no diminution in activ.
ity and the high prices asked for all
commodities have not checked the gen
eral demand. Cotton goods are in
active demand at strong prices, and all
kinds of wearing apparel continue to
sell well. Collections continue good in
all lines of trade.
Money rates are steady with loans on
collateral at Chicago quoted 512@6 per
cent; commercial paper, 5A @6 per cent
and over the counter G per cent.
Farmers are big buyers of all kinds
of farm machines and automobiles, as
we'll as of general merchandise, the
high prices for grain giving them Il
wonderful purchasing power.

| posed to stand by the side lines and
! look on. The more important mar"
ket leaders, the so-called powers to be,
have been conspicuous by their absence.
The result of this has been steady
shrinkagc in the volume of business
aud corresponding narrowing of price
movements, the only exceptions being
found among the few highly speculative
issues, which are always more or less
susceptible to manipulative influences
of bobtail and shoestring pools and
cliques In measure this would SUI
perficially account for the seeming
unresponsiveness of the market to both
favorable and unfavorable develop
ments.
There was not enough bad news the
last week to start a liquidating move
ment of far reaching proportions. This
was either ignored or had only momen :
tary effect. All of which went to prove
that in the drastic housecleaning which
had been applied since the middle of
November the market had been fully
prepared for the reception of all such
bad visitors. In the market
phraseology, these unsettling develop
ments had been discounted. 1t must
always be borne in mind, and the history
of the ticker has conclusively proven it,
the stock market never waits for a
thing to happen, but in its mirrors or
reflection starts in discounting it weeks
and months before its realization.
In its present hesitating and halting
tendency, it therefore can be reasonably
presumed that the immediate outlook is
apparently still so befogged as not to
permit an intelligent measurement of
the future possibilities. Sufficient
uncertainties exist to make observations
difficult, but each week brings them
nearer to comprehensive solution.
which should permit a safe prognostica-
tion of the market trend by the middle
of next month. In the meantime. the
greatest caution is necessary to avoid
being caught in the cross currents, as
in the current market there is ever
present the danger of being sandwiched
between the contesting elements.
The pre- eminent developments of the
week were supplied in the renewed
collapse of the foreign exchange
markets. and the drastic action taken
by the Federal Reserve Board to force q
contraction of the SO called "unessential
| loans" These subjects have been so
thoroughly threshed out from almost
every angle as to make further comment
unnecessary.

Physical Explanation

Metz, Jan. 24.-IBy A. P.)-Ex-
citcment among the people of Noveant,
posed appearance of the Virgin near a
churchyard has been Gained by an in-
vestigation conducted by religious au-
thorities. 1t was said the appari-
tion appeared at a certain time each
day, seeming TO stand on the steps Of
little villa and much credence was
given the stories of those who claimed
to have witnessed the phenomenon.
Father Beutz posted himself one
evening at n point where others said
they had seen the Virgin and at once
solved the mystery. He found two
trees some distance away which. just
at sunset, cast n shadow presenting a
clear outline of statue of the Ma
donna.
