EARCICAb PERFORMANCE.
A greater farce than the senate investigation
into the so-oallcd lobby fund has never been

Reports that one of the larger New Eng -
land mills would begin operating night

felt that 1t reflected a tendency toward in
creased mill operations which was colored
by some features in the weekly reviews OF

The discussion OF bullish features, how

/ repeat, then, the conviction that !
have expressed earlier. I regard it as
supremely important that the policy
of the credit control Of the country
should be promptly and definitely fixed,
and frankly and publicly avowed. Only
SO can business forecasts be securely

of movement. The purposes of the
Reserve System remain essentially
matters of conjuncture, The primary
function of central banking system,
the stabilizing Of prices, the Reserve
Board has yet to recognize. SO far as
any definite principle is to be inferred,
it is one appropriate solely to inde-
pendent and competitive banking,
rather than to centralized credit con-
trol-a watchful regard to the adequacy
of the banking reserves and to the
supplying of whatever rediscounts may
be applied for, so long as the reserves
are not thereby pushed dangerously
low. Precisely as, after the armistice,

Again, as before, the outcome will turn
on the policy of the credit control.
The lowering of rates of interest will
surely offer the temptation to another
period of enormous borrowing, of cx-
panding deposit credits, of derivatively
rising prices, and finally, therefore, Of
hardening rates of interest. Thereby
the upward trend of prices will later
turn into repetition of the present
downward swing-a policy of see saw,
Of alterations between speculative
activity and speculative collapse.

Cost Accounting Regional
Meetings Due This Month
First Three Gatherings Seized
uIcd for Poughkeepsie, Fort
Wayne and Milwaukee

The first three regional council meet
ings in connection with the uniform
cost accounting plan of the Interna-
tional Garment Manufacturers will take
place this month. The first meeting,
much after the old town meeting style,
will take place in Poughkeepsie on Feb
ruary Is, the second in Fort Wayne,
Ind, on February 23 and the third in
Milwaukee on February 28.
The chief cost counselor, who is
directing the work of the central cost
council of the association, is Hugh 5.
Horton, of New York, whose cxperiI
ence includes conducting similar work
for the pottery manufacturers and
others. Garment and clothing manu-
facturers are showing the most lively
interest in the development of this
phase of the association activity.
A schedule of regional council meet
inrs is being completed to include in
this first swing through the country
the following cities: Poughkeepsie, n
Y; Baltimore, Fort Wayne, Ind; Chi
cago. Milwaukee, Minneapolis. Du-
buouc, Iowa; Omaha, Neb.; st. Joseph
and st. Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland
and Buffalo. =,
No one group, or regional council, is
to have a membership much exceeding
twenty-five firms. Each council is to be
lf-governing, under the provisions OF
the charters which are to be issued by
the central cost council. Emphasis is
laid on the desirabiity of seeking va
riety in the representation Of types OF
garments and clothing manufactured by
members of each group. All elements
of the garment and clothing industry
are to be served.

Finnish Leather Trade
Rapid Strides Made During and
After the War

The leather industry, an important
one in Finland, has made considerable
progress during and since the war.
More modern machinery has been intro
duced and the technical managers have
familiarized themselves with foreign
methods, so that the productive capacity
of the industry is now about 30 per
cent greater than it was before the war.
The progress in the manufacture of fine
leather has been especially noticeable.
New plants devoted to the fine leather
industry have recently been established
at Abo, Viiala, Tavastehus and Kokkola,
some of which expect to begin work
very soon.
Most Of the raw materials for the
leather industry have been procured
from domestic sources, and it is said
that the production of the raw materials
i'm Finland is more than sufficient to
meet the needs of this industry. The do
mestic product, however, is not suitable
for the manufacture of strong sole
leather or for betting, for both of
which there is a good market in this
country.
1t is stated that the leather industry
can produce nearly twice as much as is
required for domestic consumption. Con-
seQuently manufacturers are interested
in finding foreign markets for their
production, but thus far they have not
been very successful in exporting it.
| The natural market for Finland s
leather industry is Russia, because in
normal times raw n@terials can be pro-
cured from there in almost unlimited
quantities in exchange for finished
products. 1t IS not probable, however,
that there are any stocks of good hides
in Russia now, as they have undoubted-
| ly been spoiled for lack of salt. Cattle
raising has also decreased SO much in
Russia during the last few years that it
will probably be some time before hides
can be obtained from there.

Business Moves I'm as
Uncle Sam Moves Out
Many Firms Get Space in West
34th Street Building, Oppo-
site the postofiice

Since tho removal Of the United
States government from the twenty
two-atory building at Thirty-fourth
Street and Eighth Avenue, opposite the
Postotlice and the Pennsylvania Termi-
raj, and the acquisition of the struc-
ture by the present owner it has been
converted into an Office and salesroom
building.
The leasing of space in the building
has been exceptionally active. The
managers of the building, the Cross d
Brown Company, report The execution
Of over twenty leases since the 10Th Of
January, aggregating $4,000, for va
rious lines of business.
This activity is accounted for be-
cause the building has an advantage
probably possessed by no other Office
and salesroom building in this city, in
its great strength and in the fact that
those having Offices and salesrooms
are enabled to carry heavy stocks,
which the average Office and salesroom
building does not permit.
The change to an Office building was
most fortunate one for the business
community, in view of its proximity
to the great Postof1ice terminal, as it
affords a most remarkable opportunity,
and one heretofore practically denied
to concerns dealing in heavy goods, to
have their Offices, sales and stock rooms
whore carrying capacity of 250
pounds to the foot, combined with
Office building facilities, makes it no
longer necessary to separate Office and
stockroom, and, at the same time, the
building is so secure that the lack Of
vibrations permits photography on the
twenty y-sccond floor.
For many years manufacturers and
merchants have contended with the
difficulty Of carrying their stocks of
paper, machinery and other heavy mer-
chandise in warehouses and being COM
PEELED to do business with samples only
in their Offices and salesrooms.
Negotiations are now pending with
several large corporations, and it is
believed that the entire structure will
be leased in short time, even though
the War Department has not fully va
Gated its quarters in the building.
Among the new tenants to move into
the building during the present month
are Louis j. Levine, United Multigra PHI
ing Company, j. 4. SitterIey, D. Des-
sau, Wildman Magazine and News Serv-

argentina TO Ignore
Bnrrine Whenf Prices

BUENOS AYRES, Feb. 4.-Acton by
the Chicago Board of Trade in discon-
tinuing the posting of Argentine grain
quotations will be ignored by the Bolsa
de Commerce. Of this city under de-
cision reached by the directors of the
Grain Future Market here to-day. A
meeting of the directors was held to
consider the situation and to decide
whether the statement issued on Feb
ruary 2 by j. ?. Griffin, president of
the Chicago board, should be answered
and whether measures of reprisal
would be adopted.
The ground given by the president
of the Chicago Board of Trade as the
basis of his order" said Bartolo Bern
hard, president of the Futures Market,
to-day, "is unfounded, and, therefore,
they cannot injure us in any way"
Newspapers of this city, however,
denounce the action of the Chicago
board. La Nacion saying:
The explosion of Mr.. Griffin was a
gratuitous insult to our commerce
The attempt to disregard Argentine
quotations is based on malinforma-
cereal markets. Are the imperative
economic laws Of supply and demand
not known in Chicago? By that law
the level of values is spontaneously re-
established by virtue of the liberty
which rules in transactions and which
il reflected without delay in markets
all over the world. The grain-buying
markets of Europe are not going to be
ruled exclusively by prices in the
United States markets, but European
buyers before making purchases will
study Argentine quotations and those
in all other agricultural countries"
The Diario de Commerce., under
the title of "Boycotted, pokes fun at
the action of the Chicago board, and
says that North American grain houses
will have to obtain quotations in any
event. e-~s-s sasisss d gSSEs5z55ssg
