GENERAL BUSINESS CONDITIONS
national CITY Bank Monthly Letter

New York, June, 1921.
The general business situation has
changed but little in the past month.
but certain developEe nts have taken
place that afford q substantial basis
for better feeling. The most notable
of these IL the acceptance by Ger
many Of the finding Of the R~eparation
Commission and the terms OF settle
ment based thereon. This has avert
ed the strain and uncertainty that
would have resulted from an invasion
Of Germany by Allied troops. and
probably will result in a considerable
reduction of the standing army OF
France, besides leading to a quicken
ing of industry in Germany and a
more settled feeling in all Europe.
The elections in Italy which took
place on May % yielded results en-
couraging to the stable elements of
society. Although the coal strike In
England has not been settled and the
Industrial situation is very serious
from lack of fuel, the efforts by the
radical element to make the strike
the focus Of q revolution have utter
ly failed.

Dor organizations, made while the
roads were under Government con-

vailing conditions justified "a down

lions In the cases before 1t would be
rendered June 1st, reductions to take
effect July LIST. Other complaints are
now being filed, and It is assumed
that the revision will extend to the
entire railroad payroll and that 1t
will result in q material degree of re-
lief to the railroad situation.
The trend Of wages has continued
slowly downward, the United States
Steel Corporation falling into line
during the month with a reduction OF
20 per cent. In this case and gen.
orally the situation has been accepted
by the workers In good spirit as a
necessary readjustment to changed
conditions.
The trend of prices has continued
downward, but apparently the bot
tom has been reached with the prin-
cipal staple commodities. Wheat has
had a rise which II sustained will be

and the other grains have advanced
slightly. There are some symptoms
of Improvement in foreign markets
for cotton goods. and now that the
peace settlement has been made there
is hope that with a settlement OF the
British coal strike the deadlock in
world trade may be broken. The
whole situation Is abnormal, as there
is under-consumption In all countries
for want of the products that are un-
saleable.

When Mr.. Robert Hervey Randolph,
alias Slim Hervey. chauffeur, vice Pat
rick O'Reilly, ex-driver Of the Village
Cab company's. No. 1898, skidded that
vehicle disastrously to the curb In
front Of the Poppy club and, as re-
suit Of his criminal negligence, in con-
junction with Miss Imogene Pamela
Thornton's reprehensible peeking oc-
cupation, hurled that young lady to the
middle of the sidewalk on her hands
and knees, he leaped from his seat on
a spontaneous impulse to help her to
her feet and administer every kind of
first comfort that the occasion seemed
to demand.
Two considerations, however, shot
from the double-barreled blunderbuss

friends, Mr.. Nearton, Mr.. Verries and

seemed unbelievable he had once held

tailed word for word the following con-
versation which he had participated In
that very morning with Miss Madge
Van Teller Of East Ninth street:
"Oh, Mr.. Milyuns, are you doing all
that advertising for Bobby Randolph

1t doesn't bear fruit pretty soon I'll
have to give up tobacco"
"Are you advertising for his own

Would he be really and truly glad to
be found even against his will?''
"Er-yes-er-it is-er-he would

If you were in Bobby's place, would
you want to be found by you for the
purpose that you want to find him

Mr.. Milyuns did not pretend for one
second that he did not understand the
preposterously worded query.
"You bet I would!" he answered
promptly and emphatically. "Now tell
me what you've got up your sleeve.
Please, Madge; that's dear girl! If
you only knew how I'm worried seven

Miss Van Teller, "but you talk so

Let us leave the statistical f1end and
pass on to seven o'clock Of the near
Christmas evening when Miss Thorn
ton was momentarily out Of cab
and strolling down the slope Of the
hump in West Fifty-seventh street. A
mushy snow-rain had just begun to
fall, giving anyone with the price a
splendid excuse for taking a cab any
where for anywhere! Before the portal
Of the Great Northern Lights squatted
four taxis in a line. In the drivers

seQuently the last on the rank, a lank
human being was buried in an enor-
nous turned-up collar rooted by a
chauffeur's cap set at an angle Of
slumber.
Pamela, the very moment her eyes
fell on the recumbent figure, felt that
short quick leap Of the blood in her
veins which is ordinarily termed a
"hunch." She longed to step forward
and raise the yelling headgear, but she
dared not, for not only was the hotel

politely begged her to pass to the taxi
at the head of the rank and just as
politely she informed him that her feet
were wet enough as it was. In the
meantime, even her light weight on
the running-board had startled the
driver into wakefulness and, without
going through any motions, he had
heard the unforgettable tones Of her
voice.
The starter shrugged his shoulders,
barked out an address in Fifty-ninth
street and kindly offered to turn her

SYNOPSIS.

PART I-Robert Hervey Randolph,
young New York man-about-town, leaves
the home Of his sweetheart, Madge Van
Teller, chagrined because Of her refusal
Of his proposal of marriage. His income,
$4,000 a year, which he must surrender

girl ten years before) is found, 10 not

mood Randol~h enters a taxi, unseen by
the driver, and is driven to the stage
door Of theater. A man he knows,
Duke Beamer, induces girl to enter the
cab. Beamer, attempting to follow, is
pushed back by Randolph and the cab
moves on. His new acquaintance tells
Randolph she Is a chorus girl, and has
lost her position. She is in distress, even
hungry, and he takes her to his apart
ment There, after lunch, a chance re-
mark convinces him the girl is the miss
ing Pamela Thornton. He does not tell
her of her good fortune, but secures her
promise to stay in the fat until the
morning, and leaves her. In a whimsical
mood also realizing that the girls reap
pearance has left him practically penni-
less, he bribes the taxi driver to let him
take his job, and leaving word with the
legal representative Of the Thornton es-
tate where he can find Pamela, takes up
his new duties under the name Of slim
Eervey." He loves the girl, but his pride
forbids him approaching her under their
changed conditions.
PART n.-One evening he is engaged
by Beacher fremont, notorious profigate,
to drive him and Madge Van Teller to a
hostelry known as Greenwood" Aware
Of the evil nature Of the place, Randolph
drives the pair to Greenwood cemetery.
Infuriated, Beacher gets out of the cab
and Randolph leaves him there, taking
the girl (who has awakened to realiza-
don Of her folly) to her home. Madge
recognizes him.
PART Hin Randolph's apartment
Pamela, pondering over the strangeness
OF the nights adventure, realizes she Is
very much more than interested in the
young man. Next morning Mr. Borden
Nilyuns, her family's legal representative,
Informs her Of her inheritance. Learning
that her acceptance Of the money will
leave Randolph penniless, even the furni-
ture Of the apartment belonging to her,
she proposes to divide the inheritance
with him. Mr.. Milyuns tells her Ran
do1ph is unlikely to agree to such an ar
rangement even II found He, however,
agrees to do his utmost to find the young
man. Wide advertising and the employ
ment Of detective agencies fail to accom-
plish this. Madge Van Teller tells Mr..
Milyuns Of her encounter with Randolph.
Knowing only that he is driving taxi
cab, Pamela sets out to find him. The
search naturally is a long one, but finally
she comes upon Randolph in front Of
hotel. Unseen by him she enters his cab,
but when giving the starter her address
Randolph recognizes her voice. The
streets are slippery with snow, and In his
excitement he s1nashes the cab against
the curb, throwing the girl out

"Thanks," said Mr.. Randolph, but

"Now, Hsten," resumed Mr..
O'Shaughnessy: "Tm goin' to have

out for a makeup. Get Sally Painter
round the corner to tone your face
down to the color Of your freckles, do
little Job on yer eyebrows, an fix
a deep scar in the upper lip Of yer
speakin' tube. Get me"
Mr.. Randolph's widely placed blue
eyes narrowed in an effort to examine
the proposition shrewdly from all
angles, and the light Of hope was just
beginning to dawn across the trouble
In his honest face when there came
q sharp knock on the door, followed
promptly by the rattle Of the loose
knob and the unceremoniouS entry
of one birdlike, bald-headed, dapper
corporation lawyer and two corpulent
gum-shoe plain-clothes men.
"Yere! Wot the" exclaimed the
outraged Mr.. O'Shaughnessy.
The legal light paid him no heed and
advanced on the fast-wilting Slim Her
vey with outstretched hand.
"Robert!" he cried beamingly. my
dear boy, I'm glad to see YOU"
Don't take the glad hand Slim,"
warned Mr.. O'Shaughnessy. "The lit

II guess it's all right, Tourke," said
Slim weakly. 'They aren't going to
pull me, exactly"
II don't care whether they think
they're goin' to pinch you er not" re-
marked Mr.. O'ShaughnessS, fixing
malignant eyes on the two heavy
fanking forces Of the small lawyer.
II never did like the smell Of fat"
Suddenly he roared: "Hey! Boys!"
The two bulls, strayed into inhos-
pitable pastures, turned, stepped cat
footed to the door, and took the flight
Of steps in three. They cannot be
blamed, for they had recognized in Mr..
O'Shaughnessy the man who had once
been arrested for pushing over with
one hand a Ford that had crowded
him.
