DROPS "UNFAIR" CHARGE.
Government Dismissed Complaint
Against Biscuit Company.

A formal complaint of unfair conpeti-
ton against the National Biscuit Com
pany of New York has been dismissed
by the Federal Trade Commission on its
own motion, the commission announced
today.
Trial of the case developed that the
National Biscuit Company practices a
method of competition in interstate
commerce known as the cumulative
quantity discount which means that it
deducts from the price of goods bought
from it a discount rate established by it
on condition that purchaser shall have
bought within given period a certain
quantity of goods. The commission s
complaint alleged that this practice had
the intent and tendency of an exclusive
dealing contract.
1t appeared during the trial that the
company confines it's calculations of the
quantity discount allowances to periods
not in excess of one month, and that
therefore. the tendency of such practice
to create an exclusive dealing relation
ship and to restrict competition is neg
ligible. On the basis of these facts the
commission dismissed the complaint.

BETTER BUSINESS
CONDITIONS NEAR
Federal Reserve Boards
June Review Predicts New
Level of Prices.

There is a, tendency to settle down
to a readjustment basis and to pro-
ceed with business on new level
of prices and demand, the Federal
Reserve Board declared last night
in its June review of general busi-
ness and financial conditions through
out the country. Business is passing
through period of readjustment t
and. in many cases, of depression,
the board asserted.
There is, however, every indica-
ton that this transition period will
not last long-indeed that the turn
toward better conditions has already
been taken" the boards statement
said.
In explanation of the continued
large volume of retail trade. the
board said reduction in retail prices,
begun in May, became universal
throughout June. The price-cuttins
movement had been aided by the re-
fusal of the public to pay high prices
although the tendency of wholesale
prices to maintain current levels was
declared to have been counteracting
influence.
Little Change in Foodstuffs.
With the exception of clothing and
shoes, all essential commodities. in
Guiding foodstuffs, show little indi-
cation of reQuCClOn. Dut Injuries dHC
non-essentials in many lines have
been markedly out of sale. "The
present price situation is unsettled
and is being closely watched the
board said.
While there was some improvement
in transportation, the railroads Were
said not to have yet overcome the
breakdown and great congestion OF
goods still exists. Some complaints
indicated a menacing shortage OF
coal. Reports on manufacturing fol
the month, however, ranged from ex-
treme optimism to the same degree
of pessimism.
Agricultural prospects improved
all crops, except cotton. showing i'm
provement with the seasonablt
weather, good distribution of rain
fall and replanting of crops.
Money Situation Improves.
The money situation improved ma
terially during the month, although
conditions in the financial center:
shove little change. Control of credi
was assisted by the advanced inter
est rate on Treasury certificates o.
indebtedness and higher rates of dis

prise. A few graybeards may shake their heads in
dsapproval Of the idea Of the church resorting to
the methods used by chewing gum manufacturers
and theatres to advertise their wares and attrac-
tions; they will think it undignied 1t is an unusual
departure, to be sure; but there will be far less
criticism than would have been the case If the
scheme had been proposed ten years ago.
Advertising has come to be generally recognized
as legitimate function not only Of commercial
concerns, but of all organizations which seek the
patronage of the public. The advertising art is
almost as old as civilization. The ancients used
posters and placards freely to announce games
and festivals, and to direct attention to the baths
and taverns. The walls of the most frequented
sections of Pompeii and Herculaneum are covered
with notices, painted in red and black. In view OF
its antiquity it is curious that advertising has
been regarded with Suspicion until recent years. and
even yet is considered unethca by the practitioners
of some of the learned professions.
1t is gratifying indications that the churches
are living, growing institutions, abreast OF the
times and in sympathy with the modern currents
of thought; that they resorting more and more
to the use of advertising-the powerful Twentieth
century method Of sending message to vast num-
beers of people.
