BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Credit Expansion

The needs Of business may justify
a moderate expansion OF the exist
ing credit structure.
In view of ali that has been said
about imitation as the root OF high
prices and the need for sharp con-
traction Of credit, this statement is
highly disconcerting. Yet if pres
ent credits diverted from speculative
and non essential uses 10 legitimate
business do not prove adequate. the
creation Of fresh credit supplies is
required. The cure for high prices
lies only in Increased production.
Imitation Is a secondary factor. In
creased production without ample
credit is impossible The conclusion
is, therefore, unacceptable
Credits are no sooner released by
pressure from the banks than they
are absorbed in the growing imam
Cial tranSa ctiors due solely 10 ad-
vancing prices They afford no
permanent relief and do not permit
business to advance beyond its pres
ent level. Should this continue.
fresh credits viii alone accomplish

FOREIGN TRADE

business years ago began erecting
factories in Canada. The object was
OF course TO escape the tariff by

avoid the preferential tariff within

GRAIN.

The switchmen's strike held back
shipments and slowed up the grain
markets Trade was light. Corn
prices mounted, due TO the strike,
weather conditions. and the strength
in rye. Some industries closed down
for want of supplies. Speculative
buying power in all markets has
been destroyed by rumors of federal
grand jury action against the cor
ner in corn"
oats trade broadened somewhat.
This grain stands near a record
high mark. Wet weather has de-
layed sending. Wheat prices rose
TO new heights after the govern
ment report was issued. Export
demand for rye and barley has been
active.

LIVESTOCK.

The switchmen's strike paralyzeG
livestock trade throughout the coun-
try. The yards received practically
nothing and shipped nothing. as
most points were embargoed. Com
petition was lacking. Those who
saw fit to buy favored light hogs.
Prices ran wild and markets were
almost unquotable. The possibility
of a meat famine doomed.
Cattle trade was weak with year

COTTON.


Bearish factors received more
attention from cotton trades during
the week past than for some weeks
preceding. as was natural in view
Of the strike, which restricted ship
ments and disturbed the goods trade.
The strike 0ccasioned some irregu-
larity and liquidation. Some men in
cotton circles believe that prices
have gone high enough to discount
considerable carnage to the new crop
and provide a margin Of safety be
