BUSINESS GOOD
COMP AIRED WITH
VOLUME IN 1913
Many Industries are Doing More
Business Now Than They Did
Prior to War Period.
(By Stan Correspondent1


| New York, n. Y.-Many industries
now are doing a bigger volume of
business than they did in 1913, a
normal pre-war year.
This is shown by figures now
available, covering the first half of
1891.
In the 50 weeks ended July 1, corn
exports from the United States
were 50,616,2S1 bushels almost
exactly the same as in 1913, and
comparing with 1899 ,952 bushels
exported in the year ended July l,
1920.
Wheat exports from United
States, including trans-shlpments
from Canada. totaled 44o, Asa, 107
bushels in the year ended July 1,
1921, against 275,9S5.402 bushels
! the year before Wheat exports in
1913 were only 1883, 599 bushels,
/ Here are cotton exports, Jan. !
to July 2:
1919 ..-...2, 1851, 005 bales
1920 .--.....3,2 05, 564 bales
| 1921 ..-..2 ,581, S51 bales
So far in 1921, cotton exports
have been at the rate of 5.163.702
bales a year. against S,609,4SS bales
+ exported in 1918.
! In the first five months of 1921,
money value of all merchandise ex-
ports was $2,200,76S, $50. against
S1,oo2,S77,4 43 for the corresponding
months in 1913. For the same
months, 1921 imports were $1.137,-

these figures, points out that the
the average for the same period of
the preceding five years.
Steel OF Third.
Production of steel ingots in the
first six months of 1921 was at a
rate OF 21.20e goo gross tons a year.
against 3o,2S0.i30 tons in 1913.
Steel production is only third less
than pre-war. Much of present
/ stagnation is due to this industry
having increased its productive ca
pacity A per cent since 1913.
Pig iron output, first six months
of year:
1921 $500. 9.42S,000 tons
1913 ..... ,16. 347 600 tons
Coal Near Normal.
Soft coal production is very low
compared with wartime, but total
output from Jan. to July was at a
rate of 296, ST., 900 tons a year. In
1913, only 40I ,S79,44S tons were
mined.
So. far this year, anthracite coal
production has been at a yearly rate
of 92,954 900 tons, against 75.322.S55
tons in 1913.
Steel making is now the deadest
of all Industries. This was anti
, cipated by coke makers who, so far
in 1921, have made coke at a rate
of only 6,S02.0 900 tons a year,
against 1921, 070 tons in 1913.
Money Active.
| Bank clearings, the country over,
! first six months of year:
| 1921 $500. $3.50 .091 sos 900
1918 .. Sc, LOG, $50 900
These cleariDgs indicate that the
| nation is doing business volume
nearly so per cent greater than in
1913, for experts say that combined
wholesale and retail prices now
average only about half more than
in 1913. At that rate, the 1918
volume of business could be handled
with $3.50, 900, 900 of clearings for
January to July.
Bond sales on New York ex-
change, in first six months of year:
1921 .......$1. 515, SIS, 900

Late rains have put corn in fine

The apple crop this year is al
most failure, the condition being

"BALLADs OF A BOHEMIAN ~ By Robert W. Service. Barse &
 Hopkins, Publishers, New York
 City.
 In the same ringing, swinging. swaying, lifting, delightful humor of the delightful verse he wrote, in the days before the war, Robert Service again in his Ballads of Bohemian adds new laurels to his crown-new W friends to his already large list. new admirers to those whom he has "grappled to his side with hooks of steel"
 Robert w. Service has become widely known through, his verses of tke Yukon country, first publish ed some l , years ago, and by his sue ceeding book detailing the experience of an ambulance man in France during the World war, Since the war he has maintained silence ex- cept for occasional oits of magazine verse; but this does not mean that he has been idle, as the pr resent valume abundantly testified. After the war, MT. Service took up his residence in France. He has studied the coun- try and certain types with the same meticulous care which marks his earlier work. He now sets himself to depict more especially tne bo- hemian and cosmopolitan life of Paris, although he does not limit himself to this field.
 From the viewpoint of a poor poets garret in the Latin quarter ne gives, in series of detached poems threaded together by prose com ments, picturesque glimpses of tl'e motley throng which surrounds him -Julot the Apache and his reforma- tion. the Tavern of the Golden snail the little sewing girl next door, the starving artist on the other side, me concert singer, the hapitues of the boulevard. and many another. Later he goes for a tramp into Brittany and the joy of the open country again seizes the old Service of Alaskan days Then coWks the shadow of war across the Latin quarter, and the many changes it works upon his neighbors there.
 The contents are appropriately divided into spring. early summer. late summer and winter. They run the gamut of joy, sorrow, humer, tragedy and pathos, and are marked throushout by that warm sympathy

 HISTORIC ENGLISH"
 By James c. Fernald, L. Fl. D. Funk
 & Wagnalls Company, Publishers,
 New York City.
 Historic English" traces the his- tory of the English language from it's origin down to the present time. It is written by one who was expert in English, and the points made by the author are illustrated by extracts from masterpieces of English litera- ture--not the everyday masterpiece found in books of recitation, but choice specimens of English.
 To those who love their Emerson; to those who have enjoyed the ge- nial spirit and practical philosophy of The Autocrat at the Breakfast Table" to those who delight in the mannerfsms of the precise and meas ured phrase of Henry James. Dr. Fer nald presents in this volume a work that lacks none of thearaees of these masters-grace that "have rendered his. other contributions to literature attractive and made them so popular. No one who has read him can fail to admire his command of our common language, for his mothod of treat ment is marked by its perspicacity, good sense and solid reasoning.
 Written by man who combined an amazing versatility of mind with vi- vacity of intellect and an intuitive sense of harmonious association, this work is marked by discrimination and elegance seldom if ever excelled. It is an invaluable book on the his- tory of English.
 Unusual interest is attached to the publication of this volume. as it is the last which Dr. FernaId finished before his death, and is one upon which he worked for 10 years to en. rich and perfect. None of the other 25- books which bear his name re- ceived more of the authors personal interest and enthusiasm Historic English" is indeed fitting climax to a long and brilliant career.

waiter in our hotel in Brussels-a told us that the people of Brussels made so much money during the war that they would welcome another war. Anxious to hear this opinion verified by some of the natives them selves, I lost no opportunity in draw ing out everyone met and found no one who would confirm his re- marks.
 "We were taken through the mag nifiesnt palace of justice and shown where the Germans had removed brass door plates. candelabra and. in fact, all traces of brass trimmings from the entire building. which they had melted up for ammunition" he continued. They also cut away the leather from the top of desks as yell as leather upholstery from benches and chairs to be made into shoes. Our guide seemed an intelligent per son, So I told him that the hotel waiter had said to me, and added that I understood that not only did the Belgians feel no hatred toward the Germans. but on the other hand they loved them. The mans face clouded with anger as he said: You would lave them, too. Monsieur at the point of bayonet.' And then he told me some of the indignities that had been Aeepsd upon hs ewn wife and family by the bonAes. The impression one gets from visit to dsvastated Frsnse and Belgium and hearing the people talk. is no matter how large Germans indemnity may be, she can never make good what she has done or rather undone."
