dium has now been presented whereby

with the exigencies Of most critical
situation. Some profess to believe that
with the existence of method whereby
the cattle raisers are In a position to
finance their requirements, all of the
$50 600 900 amount will not be utilized.
IL will be recalled that a few years
ago. when the $50, 900 900 cotton pool
was formed for the purpose Of assisting
cotton growers Of the South, less than
100000 Of the amount was actually
borrowed by the Southern cotton inter
csts. The mere fact that such q pool
was available cxerted a steady influence
and restored lost confidence among tee
cotton people and thereby possible
serious situation was averted
Some prominent bankers say that in
times ofs stress it Is essential for that
character of co operation on the part Of
the banking community Of the country
which renders a real service where IL is
most needed. This is exactly what was
done in the case of the $50 900 600 cat
tie credit which was brought about very
largely by the initiative Of J. p. Nor

from Chicago and st. Louis continue to
report practical stagnation in many
important lines Of industry which
keeps the total traffic down to small
proportions, and much below the figures
Of year ago. Coal is not increasing
In movement to any great extent, and
the prolonged slump in the iron and
steel industry is being reflected In the
tonnage figures TO a great extent.
Increasing local shipments of grain
have helped reduced the number Of idle
cars and Western roads have drawn
on the Eastern lines, it Is understood,
for surplus box cars for moving the
grain from the big grain sections. Lake
carriers continue to secure the bulk Of
the business in grain for shipment East
and for export. Building material
shipments have picked up slightly and
there has been about the same volume of
general merchandise offerings.

Plans are being discussed by some
leading copper interests for campaign
OF education in connection with cop.
per. 1t Is felt that many substitutes
we're used during the war because Of
the lower cost and the inability to get
copper, and an effort will BE- made to get
the red metal back into these manu-
factured articles by educating the ulti-
mate consumer TO the point where he
will request an article which contains
copper instead Of a substitute. Just
what form this campaign will take has
mas not been decided. but It is felt that
much could be done toward reducing
the large surplus Of the metal II the
matter was to be handled in con
servative manner. and il Is significant
that some Of the best authorities in
the trade are considering the matter
with n view 10 working out the details
and submitting them TO others who will

for any one desiring to enter the market
