BUSINESS

Sec'y Hoover's plans for the dis
semination Of timely facts and figures
on business conditions have aroused
considerable interest, and provoked
confidential views. Government sta
tistics, while regarded as authorita-
tive, are usually VIGOROUSLY out Of
date before they reach the public.
The government statistical machine
turns slowly. IT'S speed diminishing by
the magnitude of the territory and
the interests which the sta tistics en-
brace, but still more by routine de-
lay in the governments. For ex-
ample, a summary Of the first quar-
ter of this year, ending March 81,
with comparisons with the preceding
quarter, was published early in June
Quite possibly the delay in many
instances is due primarily TO the in
difference Of individuals and corpor-
atoms called upon 10 make voluntary
reports. Mr.. Hoover may find want
Of cooperation the chief obstacle 10
his ambitious plans. If he can but
expedite the publication OF statistics
now compiled, he Will render a dis
tinct service to his day and genera
ton.

The packing industry has reached
such proportions that il may be con-

Wallace. and il is incumbent upon
the government TO regulate it. That

This plan for aid by large institu-
tions outside the cattle country was
suggested by Sec'y Mellon. One diff
ficulty which bankers and growers
will experience when the time comes
TO negotiate actual loans arises out
OF the depletion of herds and pros
tration of prices. Growers have not
the security TO offer that they had
two years ago, and without security
no bank can loan.

AGRICULTURE

Will the American Farm Bureau
federation go into the business of
distributing coal?
Plans for the purchase of !, 900, 600
tons Of coal for distribution TO the
farmers in an effort to cut the war
inflated retail price of coal have been
under consideration. HOuseholders
must soon address themselves seri-
ously 10 the unwelcOme task of fill
ing their bins. A full bin is more
important TO a famer than TO q city
dweller because the former has no
motor delivery service at his COM
mand.
Retail coal prices seem unjustly
high, and just such action as that
contemplated by the federation is
needed 10 reduce them. In its coal
venture the farm bureau federation
will discover that freight rates and
the labor cost of handling are a very
large element in the cost to the con-
sumer. 1t will obtain fresh ammuni-
ton for an assault upon freight
rates. whatever the outcome Of the
experiment itself.

ton of the grain exchanges as the

COTTON.

Prospects of a settlement OF the
British mine and textile strikes were
supporting factors in the cotton mar
ket, but no strongly forward tenden-
cies developed. The evidence favor
ing and opposing a rise seemed quite
evenly balanced. Traders pay close
heed 10 the weather map and reports
Of boil weevil and other crop damage,
prices fluctuating mildly according to
the nature of the news. The National
Ginners' association estimates the
May consumption Of cotton in the
United States as larger than that Of
any month this year except March.
The movement Of call money rates,
wheat, exchange and stocks all have
their influence upon the course Of
cotton futures.
