the Southwest upon an economically
sound and enduring basis, the De-
partment Of Agriculture is aiding
in the introduction of those old
world varieties of dates which in

been found best suited to American n
conditions. The fact that varieties
OF this fruit cannot be propagated
by budding or grating. like other
tree fruits. and can only be multi
piled through offshoots. Of which
the tree produces but a limited

its life. makes the prompt avail

In the spring of 1920 Prof, s C

dustry. was sent to Egypt by the
department to secure offshoots Of
the Sadly date. About 1000 Of
shoots of this variety were secured
from the Libysn Desert and about
as many from the Nile valley near
Cairo. About 500 other oTshoots,
largely of Hayany variety. were
also secured in the Nile valley.
Many Of these offshoots, planted
in the date farm at Indio, Cal. have
already struck root and are nearly
read to set out in permanent orchard
form. None OF these, however, can
be distributed to date growers be-
cause Of infestation with two dam

To insure the most rapid propa-

possible, and at the same time pro-

Investments - E. Il. S.
Answer-On the BASIS Of your letter
il Is impossible for us to answer your
query intelligently. Both American
Telephone and Telegraph stock and
Southern California Edison stock might
properly be among the investments CT
a business man not dependent upon
the income from his securities and in
a position to follow closely all develop
ments affecting them. Both stocks
also might DE included in the securi-
ties owned by person OF means.
Meth however, are proper purchases
for I. n or woman who is dependent
in any great degree upon the income
from a comparatively small amount OF
invested capital, nor for any person
who is just beginning to accumulate
an investment fund. In saying this
we have no desire to disparage either
company. They are both among the
best in their class. But common stock
has no place in the holdings Of the
small investor.

Fifth Action of Year in New
York Puts Figure at AZ
Per Cent; Other Changes

WASHINGTON, Nov. Reductions
of l per cent in rediscount rates of
Federal Reserve banks ut St. Louis,
Chicago and Kansas City and of half
of l per cent at Reserve banks at New
York, Philadelphia, Richmond, Atlanta
and San Francisco were announced to-
day by the Federal Reserve Board.
Rediscount rates of the banks of
Boston, Cleveland, Minneapolis and
Dallas have not been changed, as the
directors of those banks have not as
yet held meeting on the subject.
New rates at the eight banks making
reductions are as follows: Four and
half per cent, New York and Phla-
delphia; per cent, Chicago, St. Louis,
Kansas City and San Francisco, and
51s per cent, Richmond and Atlanta.
The rates in force at the other banks
which have not been changed as yet
are: Five per cent, Boston; II per
cent, Cleveland, and per cent, Mime
apolis and Dallas.
The reductions were accomplished
through applications made by the va
rious banks, and the directors or the
Boston, Cleveland, Minneapolis and
Dallas banks are expected soon to file
such applications.
Conditions Of the reserves of the
banks and the general situation in the
money market were said to be re
sponsible for the reductions.
Banks whose rates were lowered to
4 q per cent we're said to have re-
serves of 80 per cent and those whose
rates were cut to 8 per cent have re-
serves of from 80 to rs per cent; banks
with a rate of 54s per cent, it was
said, still have to rediscount with one
another in order TO maintain the law

Cyclical Business
Term Yet to Come

The Improvement in textiles,
shoes, and lately in lumber and
steel is regarded as more sea-
sonal than cyclical by the Alexander
Hamilton Institute in it's November
review of general business condi-
tions. "The rule is," says the re-
view, that the cycle starts under
the following conditions: /, loan
able funds abundant; 2, security
prices substantially recovered from
the bottom; 8, wages and prices of
materials in the building trades at
a low ebb.
cat times wages and the prices
of materials, except steel, do not
seem to have reached the end of
their decline, and even in steel the
price could be unsettled by cheaper
transp portation, coal and coke. Sc
curity prices, while on the upturn,
have not recovered much from the
bottom. Loanable funds, although
comfortable in supply, have not yet
reached the peak Of plenty.
There are good prospects, how
ever, that by the spring or summer
Of 1922 we shall have an abun-
dance of funds, substantially higher

Assert Buyers Are Now
Seeking Merchandise;
Prices Stiffening as Old
Stock $ Are Linuidated

Although recent changes in the silk
market have been of minor impor-
tance, some Of the leading manufac-
turers claim to see brighter days
ahead than have been evidenced for
some months. According TO one lead
ing producer, a sharp change in sem
tlment has occurred within the last week.
In evidence he cites the fact that his
hrm has made sales this week at
prices which buyers refused to pay a
week ago. Also, he declares, buyers
are now seeking merchandise, whereas
up to last week the merchandise was
being offered to the trade. and in
some cases at liberal concessions.
For the last three or four months
buyers have depended largely upon the
made-up stocks in the hands of manu-
facturers and jobbers for their sup
plies of silk. Most of this stock, it
is believed, has been worked into con-
sumption, with the result that at pres
ent the reserve supply is smaller than
has been the case at any time this
year.
Raw silk prices are still dcterring
factor in getting the silk business
back to Il normal basis. Despite the
large amount OF raw silk held by the
lmperlat japanese Syndlcatey which
acts as natural depressant to the
market, prices in japan and other
primary silk markets have been held
firmly, and have even advanced in the
face of extremely light buying.
SILK Manufacturers have started out
with the spring lines, but as yet have
booked only q small volume of busi-
ness. Their determination to operate
conservatively is evidenced by the
fact that despite some advance orders
spring production has not been inaugu-
rated to any extent. The manufacture
ers maintain that present prices are,
in most cases. below replacement cost,
and that anything approaching nor
NAL demand for silk goods will lift
nrlces
