months were points higher to II points
lower with the tone barely steady and the

net lower right after the call with March
touching 80. TO, and July 81. 80. Liverpool
sold Nav and July but bought March, while
taN4ta wa considerable trade calling and COW
eirng Vnich caused rallies of several points
riSAt after the call with March selling up
about 80 points from the lowest. Private
cables reported stop loss selling in the early
market at Liverpool followed by rallies on
trade tuying.
Nothing further was heard of the weav-
ers'sstrlke al Manchester and there appeared
to be rather a more optimistic view of the
foreign news generally. which promoted
covering on the rally to 81. 81 for March ana
81 IS for July late in the morning Trade
interests were made the buyers, but there
was no apparent broadening of commission
house demand and business was probably
restricted by continued nervousness over
the weakness of foreign exchange, the I'M
c--tainty of money rates and reports of a
less active spot demand. The market at
midday was quiet but within point or

about 10 to II points on present crop delIT-
cries.
The early afternoon advance carried March
Up. to 35.94c and July to 31.92c, or IA to 10
points net higher. No change was reported
in the news, butt the market turned easier
at this level and prices later showed reac-
lions oil about 70 points from the best under

Labor Efficiency

When will labor become more eff

of many present evils. The prime
factor today in limiting production
is the efficiency of labor. No prob

that Of increasing it,
Some business men hold that la

when production overtakes con-

jobs for men. This view brings
little comfort. as labor's inefficiency

At the best it implies a curtailment
Of industry and even n period OF

Another group of business men,
