NEW YORK. June with a diff
ference in weight of about 20 pounds
when they meet in the ring four
weeks hence, Dempsey and Carpen-
tier will otherwise appear almost
equal in build and stature If both
were to mix in among a few collegi-
ate athletes, football players and
Oarsmen, probably neither would be
picked out as being unusually big
or formidable in general makeup.
Dempsey stands feet IL inches in
height, just two inches taller than
the French champion, and while
Carpenter will weigh about ITO
pounds In fighting condition, Demp-
sey EXPECTS to enter the ring slight
ly under 100 pounds.
The champions shoulders are
broad while Carpenters are sloping
in shape, but otherwise the bodily
measurements of the pair do not
differ to any marked extent
Experts who have seen both men
are satisfied that they will be well
matched in speed and cleverness
but the majority believe that Demp-
sey will carry by far the heavier

Anthracite Cheaper,
Says Weekly Report

NEW YORK, Feb. 10. - The an
thracite market experienced another
price decline this week, and indie
pendent" coal sold in domestic sizes
around SS.75 (. o. b. mines, says the
weekly report of the Wholesale Coal
Trade Association. This is 50 to IS
cents under the quotations of the
previous week, and brings "inde-
pendent" anthracite down almost to
the level Of company" coal, the
price of which remains unchanged.
Wholesalers report a number Of
cancellations on Independent" coal
from retailers, who fear overstock-
ing, and a further decrease in de-
mand on the part of consumers.
The bituminous market continues
demoralized. Soft coal is drug
upon the market, and Pool l, the
best bituminous mined, is selling at
from SO to 1926 (. o. b. mines. Bust
ness depression and overproduction
are responsible.

Investments Abroad Key
To Exchange Problem

NEW YORK, Feb. Is.-Invest-
ments in Europe are one Of the
best hopes toward solving the ex-
change problem, according to w s.
Kies, chairman of the board Of the
First Federal Foreign Banking
Corporation. the first corporation
to be formed under the Edge law
1t is under this law that the Trade
Financing Corporation receiving
subscriptions toward 500, 5000
capital stock to be used in boosting
American trade abroad is being
found.
ITO the extent that this country
is able to make safe, sound and
productive investments in Europe"
he said, "or can finance long-term
merchandising there. to that extent
will America be able directly TO
help stabilize world wide credit
balance exchange and secure a re-
action that will improve our own
business condition"

U.S.-Aid Road Building
Reaches High Mark

Federal-aid highways constructed
last year cost more than double the
average amount spent annually for
10 years in building the Panama
Canal. The cost of the work COM
pleted during the fiscal year of 1920,
including the amount paid by the
states, totaled approximately $780,
O00, 900.
The construction of the canal is
regarded the world over as a rec
ord-breaking achievement in re-
spect to the dispatch with which it
was carried out. The cost, however.
was only $4,000, 900, and a 1O-year
period was required to complete it,
the average rate of expenditure be-
ing only $4,000, 900 a year.
Comparing the magnitude of the
Federal-aid program with the en-
tire highway program of the United
States, the significance of Federal
aid is readily seen. Federal money
allotted to projects actually under
construction at the end of the fiscal
year 1920, namely, s103,925.O94, was
only slightly less than the total
expenditure OF S106,S61,o53 from
state funds for highway construc-
tton during the calendar year 1919.
In spite of untoward economic con-
ditions, the amount of Federal-aid
business handled, as represented in
1920 by the number of projects, was
approximately 25 per cent greater
during the single year than all pre-
Vious work done under the act
since 1916.
