Satisfactory Outcome

Atter the discussions were completed
these meetings always ended with n
Voluntary and spontaneous vote Of con-
fldence and pledge of loyalty to the new
management. And this was not Dcr-
functory, nor mere formality, but Gen
tine and unreserved.
another thing which | learned from
close contact with these men is that
they are not suspicious nor skepticaI
but will accept a mans statements at
absolute par without quibblinr or dis
trust, until and unless that man shows
that ne Is not entitled to confidence.
But they want to hear the statements
made, they want to ask their own oues-
tlon and get direct answers, and |, for
one, should hate to go before them with
any proposition that involved evasion
or camou1age
After holding these meetings. and
getting acquainted with the views and
IDEAS of hundreds of the leading minds
OF the company, it was very easy to
quickly formulate plans for admins
tratlng the business, Definite respon-
slblllties for supervision of the various
elements were provided, such as execu-
tive committees at headquarters, for
frequent conference and quick, deci-
slons on matters of policy, and the ap-
polntment of territory managers to
provide constant contact, to remove
inequalities and injustices, to recog-
nize the deserving and capable, to elm
mate the drones and to deal in general
with the personnel

Sterling Receivers
AS Germans PAY
Allies 100000, 900
Bankers Suggest That the
Previous Selling Was for
the Purpose of Acquir-
ing American Gold

Following Fridays turmoil in the
foreign exchange market, presumed to
be due to factors relating to the pay
ment of approximately $4,000 900 by
the Grmans as their first installment
on the war indemnity, trading was
more orderly yesterday. with indica-
tons that the recent decline was over.
Bankers continued to discuss the
wide open break on Friday and the
reasons TO account for it, Following
up the discussion that the weakness
was probably due to LIQUIDATION of
British and French exchange previous
Iy accumulated by the Germans. the
suggestion was made that this was for
the purpose of buying American gold
to meet the reparation payments due
yesterday, Bankers said that this was
a logical explanation, as America is
the only country in the world where
there is a free market for gold
Bills on London and Paris were both
IN higher demand, sterling closing at
3.SS7s, contrasted with 3S77s the pre-
ceding day, while cables were also up
cent at 3.39ia. French exchange also
advanced, sight drafts going to S.33lh
at the close, and cables at 8.33. The
last quotations on Friday were re-
spectively 8.2712 and $751;.
Trading yesterday was on a much
smaller scale than on Friday, and for
eign exchange bankers said that offer
ings were few at the opening This
accounted for an initial quotation for
London demand bills at 3.90a5. an over
night advance of nearly two cents to
the pound. One of the reasons for the
quieter trading was the fact that the
day was observed by many bankers in
the financial district as holiday.

banks in cutting down their loans.
coupled with heavy government with

as one of the reasons for the higher

Bad Weather Slows
Trade in St. Louis
Reserve District
General Business Irregular,
Bank Reports; Some of
Earlier Gains Are Lost;
Retail Sales Are Fai.

ST. LOUIS, May Unfavorable
weather conditions have been a big
factor in retarding industry in this
section during the last month, accord
ing to the latest monthly report issued
/ by the Federal Reserve Bank of st.
Louis. Heavy and continuous rains in
late April and early May hampered the
distribution of goods and delayed
spring farming activities. Because of
flooded fields, in certain sections, re
seeding has been necessary.
"Progress in general business" said
the report, has been marked by IL
regularity. In some lines the improve
ment noted in late March and early
April was continued, but several of the
industries which showed earlier &C
tivity have lapsed back into quiescence
showing a falling off in volume of
business done. Taken as a whole ii
cannot be said that the recent gains
were maintained. The financial situa-
tion made relatively better showing
than the industrial.'
The boot and shoe business regis
tered a steady gain. Clothing re
NAMED on a parity with the presiding
month Iron and steel products con
tinued dull Hardware fell off from
3 to u per cent from the preceding
month. Flour made a better showing.
Sales of drugs and chemicals declined
from , to IS per cent. Lumber was
more quiet, but gains of from Is to 20
per cent in furniture sales were re-
ported
Retail sales, for April, as reported
by fifteen leading department stores in
the district showed a decline of 8 per
cent compared to April, 1920. st.
Louis and Evansville stores reported
gains of 16 per cent and ga per cent
respectively, but Louisville, Little Rock
and Memphis registered declines.
Contrasted with March, sales for the
district were "a per cent ahead, in
April, but ali this gain was made by
the St Louis stores, 6.3 per cent. Sales
in Louisville declined 40 per cent;
Memphis, 8.4 per cent; Little Rock,
1914 per cent, and Evansville, SO per
cent
Average stocks on hand at the end
of April were 1876 per cent less than
a year ago and a per cent under those
at the close of March.
There has been an appreciabIe in
crease of orders placed for new
goods" says the bank in discussing
the retail trade, "and the annual rate
of turnover has tended to increase.
reports from the smaller retail mer-
chants indicate marked conservatism on
the part of their customers. This is
particularly true of clothing and gro
Gerry lines. Collections in some in
stances are slower than heretofore,
although on the whole the merchants
are getting in their money in fair
shape. Virtually all lines report a ten
dency to stiffen credit allowances. The
general report is that progress has
been made in the direction of mark
ing goods to replacement cost basis
and that sales are being made on
closer margin of profit than in many
months"

Utmost Courtesy

incidental to my real work I met a
great many men in England in other
professions and businesses, including
bankers, merchants and writer's. | in
Varably encountered the utmost cour-
tesy, the most engaging frankness and
the most cordial friendship for and in
terest IN America and Americans. We
not only speak the same language, but
we think the same language. It is
true that many Englishnen do not
know Americans we'll, and display a
frank curiosity regarding them, but it
IS a curiosity tinged with kindly feel
ing and deep respect for what the
great Republic across the Atlantic has
accomplished and is accomplishing.
1t is said that you cannot force an
Englishman either in business wav or
socially That may be, but | find that
you DO not have to attempt to force
him-he will meet you more than half
way.
| returned from England feeling not
only confident as to the future of our
particular business, but very optimistic
IN regard to the future security of Eng
llsh business in general They have
thelr problems, it is true-verv grave
problems-but they realize their prob
lens and are dealing with them cou-
rageously, thoughtfully and tenacious
y. Take unemployment, for example. 1t
mas been very general, and yet believe
the statement of one of the Cabinet
ministers to be true when he said it
had been accompanied by less suffering
than any previous experience. The gov
ornment has been dealing with it sym
pathetlcallv. and corporations have
been urged to do their part in assist
ing their own unemployed, and there
has been a loyal response to this ap-
peal. While | was in England the re-
peal of the excess profits duty was an
rounced, and Immediately created a
feeling of intense relief that this bur
densome yoke had been lifted from the
necks of business enterprises. In one
way and another they are making prog
ress, and with the public, the press and
the government very much alive to the
pressing and immediate needs of the
times | look to see England emerge
surely and safely from her difficulties
and gradually throw off the burdens
which the war thrust upon her.
Believing. as | do, that the traits and
characteristics and temperamental quail
tiles of business men very largely re-
fleet a relative soundness, sanity and
good sense in their political views, let
me again say that the efforts and in
huence of all right thinking men in
both countries should be directed tow
ard promoting understanding. good will
and harmony of purpose in the consid-
Grafton of world affairs between the
great peoples of the United States and
of the British Empire, because therein
lies not only the advance of civilization
and security but also the greatest de-
terrent to evil and corrupt intrigue.

ana am writing this article on the
{Ve'mer returning from England, where
nave spent the last four weeks The
results n the meantime have exceed
e4 our best expectations, and demon
stfated without question the executive
capacity o. the organization at Not
Hhgham, and the fine spirit which
prevails In the branches. For ex-
ample: In the months Of October and
November, when general business in
England was hesitant and apprehen-
slVe, because Of the widely heralded
strike of the coal miners, the business
or the Boots Chemist Shops went
ahead approximately 9t25,000 over the
corresponding period of the previous
year In the month Of December, when
SFere was great complaint Of depressed
business conditions the Boot company
showed an increase of over 100000.
AGAIN IN January q very large increase
was registered, assisted by an unusual
ana spectacular special sale, the largest
OF thc KIND ever staged by the Boot
organization, ably conceived and exc
Cuted.
All of the foregoing sales results,
as well as effective campaigns for the
reduction of inventories and the elimi-
nation OF unproductive expenditures,
rave been executed by the English
management without friction or con
fusion, leaving the organization con-
tented, enthusiastic and confident.
All apprehensions of last summer are
dispelled and indeed rarely thought of.
| attended several meetings and busi-
ness dinners and was struck with the
fact that, unlike the conditions last
summer when these meetings were
gwen over largely to recitation of
grievances and trouble and anxieties,
the entire time of the meetings is
now devoted to a discussion of con.
structiVe plans for developing and
strengthening and eIevating the vari-
GUS parts of the business. | have
never seen more interest shown nor
more energy displayed.
