ENGLAND AFTER GREEK OIL

England and France are both endeav-

strengthen their siraiegical naval psi

economically dependent upon them.
According to authoritative information
from Americans who have been Inyesti-

blocked 50 far as oil holdings are con-
cerned. France, England, hOlland and
Italy have ''conered" every known pros

and the Black Sea region.
Thus far, foreign capitalists have not
completely cornered the Greek prospects.

FINANCE SHOWS
IMPROVEMENT
Entire Business Situation in U.
5. Marked by Increased
Confidence.

The general business situation
throughout the country is marked by a
greater confidence than was manifest in
;he last few weeks Of 1920. There have
been rumors OF a panic and Of numerous
bankruptcies. These renorts have had
demOrdl;zing influence on the credit
sitnstion which was alIcady on a strain.
Il is true that there have been many fsil.
ures in business, but they we're princi.
pally concerns which extend their busi-
ness while prices we're high and had no
reserve tu fall back on when the prices
began to decline. The whole financial
situation at present is more encouraging
and the country is in a sounder financial
condition than ever before in a like
crises.
In December there was practically no
buying of silks, woolens or cOttons. The
trade in these commodities has increased
in volume substantially in the last
month. II wooden goods there has been
a reduction Of from twenty to thirty per
cent in the last few weeks, following a
cut of about the same proportion in Sep
tember.
The movement in live stock and grains
has increased notably during the past
month. The situation with regard TO
them has been nearly normal.
The important thing in the readjust-
menf now taking place is to maintain an
equilibrium in industry. Since the mar
ket for all industries is the people of the
other industries, if all do not work to-
ge;her toward sterilization normal con-
ditiOns can not come for any.
The money market eased up to a nota-
bic extent in the early part of January.
The changes were most evident in the
bankers acceptances and funds tempor-
arily employed on stock exchange collal-
eral.
The Armour and the Swift reports to
stockholders showed that they have had
10 go into the surplus accumulated in
other years 10 pay the dividends of the
last fiscal year. ArmOurs sales aggre-
gated S900.000,000, and the statement
showed that the operation in this coun-
Try resulted in net loss, but including
the Armour establishment in foreign
countries net,ed 4 return of "a per cent
on the capital investment. The report Of
Swift 6 Company has not yet appeared.
As fer the agricultural situation, ex-
cepiing the New England States and
Middle Atlantic States, it is found that
the values of staple farm products dnd
live stock have depteciaied more thar
one third. Cotton, corn, wheat. cattle,
wool, sheep and hides are today below
pre-war values to the producer.
