Oil Tide Has Turned
For the Better

We exported about 100000
gallons less of crude and refined
oil in June than in the same month
last year. The total June output was
204,604,039 gallons valued at $780,
5S4,274. Nevertheless, the June ex-
ports were 100000 gallons ahead
of this years May exports, writes
Sugarman's Indicator In our opin-
ion this indicates that the tide has
finally tured for the better. There is
probably no industry running on so
close margin of stocks in storage as
the oil industry. Ordinarily the U. S..
has only three or four months sup
ply in storage, and just as soon as
business gets better-which we be-
leve is matter of but a very few
months5-you may be sure that
shares in the leading oil companies
will have discounted the improve
ment.

Grain Crops Behind,
Prices Much Odvanced

dhe hot weather in July and gem
eral scarcity of rain reduced the
eected yield of wheat, corn and
oats, and advancing prices were the
result. The July wheat decrease
registered 100000 bushels, says
Sugarman's Indicator. The prelim-
mary winter wheat estimated pro-
duction was placed at 544, 100000
bushels and of spring wheat 213,-
aeO, 900 bushels. Its condition is
low at only 66.6 per cent, as against
a normal of sos per cent in the
month Of July. The condition Of
corn for the month of July was held
at S4.3, as compared with a nor
NAL of OIL. Yield of corn is esti-
Lmated at 1902, 100000 bushels. The
bot weathed has played havoc with
the oat crop, its July estimated yield
being 54.5 as against 77.6 and a
total estimated yield of 1,137, 900, 900
bushels. 1t is our belief that the
end is not yet in the advancing mar
kets for grain futures.

Bond Buyers Picking

There is nothing the matter with

These opportunities for accum-
ulating high grade securities at re-
markable discounts do not last for
ever and even now we find that the
average price of railroad, public
utility and industrial bonds has adj
vanced about one and five-e Fights

This indicates that the bond market
is on the advance. AS we remain

still in evidence, although each day
discounts these opportunities some

Monthly issued bv the National Bank of Commerce in New York. Muoirat and beaver pota valued at SG,OOOOOO and %5,3o0,00o respectively comprised about half the total, with martcn, mink, silver fox and fisher following nm the order named. The article continues:
 "A very small proportion of these pcIts was produced by the fur farming industry. which confines itself almost entirely to silver fox. The fox has proved most suited to dem rstication and has been successfully raised for the past 10 years. In 19919 there were 424 fox farms, 3 mink farms and raccoon farms in op- cration with total production of 2,j43 worth $50S549. On the farms at the end of the year there were S,310 foxes. mostly of the silver variety, valued at approximately %30OO, OOO

There was an army of the unemployed numbering three million men in this country under the operations of the existing tariff law, within a year after the the inauguration of President Wilson.

HOW TO EMPLOY THE IDLE

Nobody dcpores unemployment more than this newspaper; nobody would rejoice more if it could be said that there was not a single idle man in this country.
 But in the midst of all this discussion of opening factories at loss; while we hear all these schemes of public employment to be paid out of taxes, our public men and news papers seem to avoid the unpleasant facts. Get down to fundamentals, all yc people, and the situation will slowly but surely right it. self.
 There are only two dffcutics-two very serious handcaps to prospcrity-in this coun- try right now. Here they are:
 Immodcratc costs
 Immodoratc taxes.
 Industry cannot rise with the taxes as they are And yet they talk about putting millions to worI, at public cost, enormously increasing tho already inordinatc taxes.
 Industry cannot arise to action with skilled wa@ns anywhere from $G.0O to %l5OO for am ci4ht.hour day. And yet, except in few cas- cS, unon~ts and non monst- refuse to bring down the scale of wages.
 Pare down vour taxes, reduce your costs of operating, and money will come out and start wheels that will mean employment to mcrcas- ing numbers. Fail to do these things and idle Swarm~ will continue to swarm.
