A merchant or manufac-
turer inserts an advertise
Ipent in a paper. That adj
vertisement carries GER
tain statements and cer-
tain claims for the goods
mentioned. To speak such
statements and claims is
one thing; but to print
them, and sign your name
to them, and to send this
out for everyone to read, is
giving the public a guar
antee.
That's why it will pay
you to read advertise
ments and buy advertised
goods. Every advertise
ment is your guarantee of
value.

Wheat-Liquidation was renewed
during the first hour but showed evil
dence to have run its course and the
market thereafter developed a firmer
tone. Prominent interest who have
recently been identified with the short
side of the market were credited with
Iaccumulating long futures today. An
other feature was the buying by sea-
board Interests followed later by re-
ports of over million bushels taken
for export with additional orders Just
under the market. Country offerings
to arrive continued liberal in south
west but at the same time receipts at
primary points were about 10000
bushels less than shipments. with
the evidence that liquidation has ae-
cumulated, there are many construc-
tive factors heretofore overlooked,
which will be given reckoning not the
least Of these is the fact that 1921
crop is still an uncertainty confront
ed with many vieissitudes we believe |
the logical course at this time is to /
assume a position on the buying side |
Of the market during weak periods.

Chicago District Reports Re-
tail Sales Falling and
Manufacturers Hcsitant;
Shoes, Dry Goods Active

CHICAGO, July 30. - Agricultural
production in the Seventh Federal Re-
serve District, even with the wheat and
oat crops falling somewhat short of
earlier predictions, is regarded as suf-
ticlent to enable the farmer to lieui-
date considerable portion of his cur
rent and bank Indebtedness if he is
to the monthly review of business con-
ditions by the Chicago Federal Reserve
Bank.
This situation, however, the bank
says, does not apply to all sections of
the district. The farmer, the bank
declares, is faced with the problem of
transportation and markets, instead of
production, and in this connection is
hoping for the reopening of European
consumption and lettering of the ex-
change rates.
meantime" says the bank. "manu-
featuring and merchantile business is
rejecting distinct disposition on the
part of the domestic consumer to buy
only what is absolutely necessary and
not to look SO much at the intrinsic
value of the price mark In the
agricultural sections the disposition is
to be more insistent regarding price
concessions than in the manufac turing
centers."
Retail sales in the seventh district
showed a still further decline in June,
although, says the bank, the reduction
in prices accounts for all or large
part of the drop. The decrease for
June, 1921, from June, 1920, was 1876
per cent, compared to - per cent in
May. The drop from May to June was
is per cent. For the first six months
this year the net sales, in money, de-
cllned 9.3 per cent, when compared to
the same period year ago. A turn
over rate of 2.8 times a year is re-
ported.
With the exception Of the automo-
bile trade, manufacturing generally is
marking. time. Here and there" says
the bank, "production shows slight
increase over the previous month, but
a year ago, and the change seems to
be due to low stocks in the retailers
hands. rather than to a general de-
mand. Boxes and containers sales for
June, as reported by nine firms, were
20 per cent of those for the CORE
spending month Of last year, while
sales for the first six months of this
year were 35 per cent of those for the
similar, period of 1920. Allowing for
production where the goods are shipped
in boxes or containers.
Agricultural machinery production
is at low ebb. There is an improve
ment in the manufacture of wooden
goods in the Middle West, and mills
are we'll booked with orders and are
increasing production"
Wholesale trade was reported as bet
ter in shoes and dry goods, but still
dull in other lines.

Rise in Sugar Laid
To Cornering Market
Decreased Operations Effect
Increased Demand, Says
Federal COmDany

The bulk OF sugar supplies are, in
effect, cornered," declares the Federal
Sugar Refining Company in it's review
Of the market, and this accounts for
the recent rise in prices. The Federal
Sugar Refining Company does not be-
lieve that the rise would have occurred
if refners had considered the situation
strong enough to warrant increased
MEETINGS more nearly to capacity. "a
midsummer demand which permits re-
timers to run at anything less than full
speed is surely insufficient reason for
advancing prices" says the statement.
Figures quoted by Federal to prove
TINS assertion show shortage Of melt
lngs OF $4,000 tons in the eight weeks
ended July Fl this year compared
with the same period last year. In
those eight weeks of 1920 $4,000 tons
were melted and this year only 100000.
Cuban negotiations for restoring the
demoralized financial condition Of the
sugar industry on the island appear to
have received a setback, according to
Federal advices from Cuba. The pro-
posed $4,000, 900 loan by American
bankers cannot be consummated until
guarantees by the Cuban government
are satisfactory. 1t is now reported
that Cuba itself will try to raise $780,

Once Again Building in 5th
Ave. Passes to New Control

The five-story building at 557 Fifth
Avenue, 25 100, between Forty fifth
and Fortysixth streets, which has fig
ured in several leases in the last two
years, has again passed to new control
and is to be converted into confec.
tionery establishment and lunchroom
by the lessee, Gushee's, Inc. The lease
was made by the F. R. Tripler Company,
which holds q suitcase of the property
from Alfred A. Hagedorn made by the
owner of the building, the johnson
estate.
The lease to the Gushee's, Inc, is for
about twenty-one years from July at a
net rental of $4,000 a year. A year
ago the Tripler concern leased the
building to Hagedorn & Co., who sub
sequently turned over the lease at a
profit to Nine. Theresa Serposs, mil
liner. Nine. Serposs took another profit,
which wouldu have amounted to $4,000
per annum, in leasing the property to
Mrs. Ella M. O'Kane, interior decorator.
These two latter leases have been can
celled and new lease made by Tripler
& Co.

Business N e w $
Crops will Aid Midwest
Farmers, Says Reserve Bank
High Rents Retard
Reimbursement, Vie,U

High rents are retarding complete
readjustment, according to the bust
ness review issued by the Cleveland
Federal Reserve Bank, which states
that "it Is unreasonable to expect
labor to work for lower wages when
such large part of the pay envelope
is required for shelter alone"
"1n the march of readjustment,"
says the bank, "the cost of living
should keep in step with the reduce
ton in wages. The former has been
reduced in many lines, but in others
it is still dallying by the wayside.
Rent, one of the chief items in liv-
ing costs, is out of step and has been
along the entire line of march.
"There is general talk of home
shortage, partially based on the fact
that construction work in this line
is slow. But at the same time the
for rent signs are steadily increas-
ing. 1t is difficult to understand tho
landlords line Of reasoning when
he persists in keeping rents up and
his houses vacant, when a reason
able reduction would mean occu-
pancy, satisfied tenants and q Just
return"
