Foreign Trade Outlook
Promising. SAYS Bank

In entering the new year in a
sounder financial, industrial and politi-
cal condition than any other country,
the United States is in a good posi-
tion, to do a large volume Of foreign
trade, according to the new year issue
OF American Goods and Foreign Mar
kets by the Guaranty Trust Company.
During the last twelve months"
says the bank, "the European demand
Tor raw materials with which to re-
store industry to normal production
mas Kept our export trade at high
level. continuation Of this increased
demand may safely be expected, for, as
the European nations progress in the
restoration Of their industrial produc-
tiyity, they will become better able
70 purchase and pay for American
fnished products In increased quanti-
ties. American foreign traders should
therefore overlook no opportunity to

Sentiment improves
As Trade Speeds Up

The improved sentiment in busi-
ness, according to the mid
monthly letter Of the Guaranty
Trust Company, is keeping pace
with increasingly rapid readjust-
ment measures. These the bank
regards as of two varieties-frst,
a reduction of production costs by
lowered wages, increased hours or
increased efficiency, and, second,
wider movement in wholesale
commodities.
Of the latter the bank says:
meetings are now taking place
between jobbess and buyers.
Here the views Of producer and
consumer are being brought into
contact and conflict by the men
whose bargainings establish mar
ket prices. Buyers are appa-
rently going to the big distribu-
tlon centers prepared to restock
the shelves and storehouses of
their principals. In other words,
there are the makings of a good
buying movement in the interest
which they disclose in a great
variety of lines. The probability
is that wholesale purchasing will
be in substantial volume, with the
chances considerably in favor of
big sales in those lines where the
consumers strike has been broken
by a readjustment Of retail prices
to a fair level"

Cottons FURRY Subsidi1lg
Activity in Fabrics and Gray
Goods Decreases

The first furry of renewed activity
in cotton goods is showing signs Of
subsiding. Sales of cotton fabrics in
the Fall River district last week, al
though considerably above the aver
age for the last three months Of 1920.
were not so large as in the week previ-
Gus.
Activity in the gray or unfinished
goods mar ket also subsidized toward the
close Of the week and brought forth
more offerings from secondhand hold
ers of print cloths and other unfinished
goods at slightly under the market
levels. Buyers, however, are failing to
rise to the bait of such lower prices.
largely because they fear that second
hand sellers will not be able to deliver
the goods up to sample or within the
specified time. The large users of
gray goods in the main are sticking
close to recognized mills as their chief
sources of supply.
Novelty wash goods for spring have
not shared in the quckened demand
that has set in for staple fabrics. This.
1t is explained, is the result Of the un
Willingness of the buyer to anticipate
his needs so far in advance this year.

Order for 100000
Pairs of Shoes Received

An order for 100000 pairs of work
shoes at a price of about 1888 1-3 a
pair is said to have been received by
leading shoe manufactures. Although
no information has been given as to
who the buyer was, it has been re-
ported that the order was for European
account.
Sales of hides which are said to
have been made in the last few DAYS
have totalled from $4,000 to 10000
branded hides at the price of II cents
for butt brands and 10 cents for Colo
radios. In addition to these a sale of
5000 outside hides, November and De-
cember butt brands and Colorados at
price of 10 cents has been reported.
Conditions throughout the leather
trade have shown considerable improve
ment. Buyers appear to be more anx-
ious to obtain supplies following the
reports Of large shoe sales.
New-York tribune., 1921-01-23

In our study of the financial side Of
living conditions we seek again the
fundamentals, the unchang-
irg facts which alone can truly clarity
rast, present and future. The chief
Of these fundamentals is the nati.n nal
improvidence. Throughout Mexican
history the rich as class have over
spent their incomes; the middle c.ass
has emerged in two groups, one those
whose ambition was to live we'll and
look prosperous, and the other engaged
in the friendly and profitable "side
line" of lending money at Ysulious
rates to it's fellows of the middle Glass;
the poor of Mexico have lived for
centuries on the poverty line.
The improvidence of the upper and
middle classes is largely the result OF
the social system; that of the peon,
in whom our interest centers here, has
more obvious and more complicated
beginnings. His precarious and char
acteristic position on the slippery edge
of pauperism seems indeed to be moro
the result of his own choice than of
The economic faults in the Mexican
system.

Strike Broken
By Cut Prices,
Say Retailers
Consumers Are Fairly Well
Stocked as the Result of
Sales, However; Short
Reaction Is Expected d

Retailers are fairly we'll agreed that
the consumers strike against buying
has been broken, but an even flow of
merchandise at profitable prices has
not been resumed, in the opinion of
several local and out-of town mer-
chants. Much of the merchandise that
mas gone into consumption during the
last Two months, according to these re-
tallers, has been purchased under the
stimulus of lowered prices, which have
returned little or no profit to the
sellers. In fact, retailers and whole
salers alike assert that the qujckened
m ovement in merchandise has been ac-
complished almost purely at the ex-
pense of price
to the fore is the question of whether
the consumers are not fai.Iy we'll
stocked with goods for the time being
and that slowing down in trade for a
short period, until these goods are
actually consumed, is in prospect
few merchants believe that the
public has been "fed up" on reduction
sales for the last two months ar more.
Merchandise OH which an actual reduc-
tion is being taken is being depleted,
md new goods coming in are, in many
cases, priced as low as old goods were
after generous price slashing had been
done. The public is becoming accus-
toned to q lower price level, and the
lure Of reductions and price cuts is be-
lieved to be losing its appeal. Already
there is noticeable tendency in con-
sumer advertising to base Advertising
On other than purely low priced argu-
ment.
With the price appeal failing, the
merchants say, a drive for something
new in the way Of styles is the logical
development toward stimulating new
business.

to two-thirds Of our exports, recovery
which can be taken as an indication Of
further leveling of our export balance
during 1921.
"The stimulation Of foreign invest
ment, which is likewise vitally related
to the condition Of our domestic bust
ness, will do much toward relieving us
from the burdensome inequalities of
our foreign trade position. The ex-
tension of adequate credits through
such investment will strengthen the
buying power of foreign countries for
our products and give permanency to
our foreign trade, and thereby make
secure for US future markets for our
vast surplus productions"
