there will probably be another break
which will make the general price
level even lower than it is at pres
ent. After this next upward move
ment, the general trend of COM
modify prices may be downward for
some years to come.
Some of the basic commodities
are already showing an upward ten
dency. Sugar, for example, which
has been such drug on the mar
ket during the past two years, has
already begun to strengthen, and
people are well justified in again
buying sugar by the barrel. Lin
seed oil is firmer. The demand has
greatly improved and the outlook is
very much brighter. 1 predict fur
ther advances for linseed and should
not be surprised to see raw linseed
oil sell for one dollar or over This
is the general result of the large

and the consequent demand for
paint. Cotton is still strengthening.
The recent estimate published shows
that the 1922 crop will scarcely be
sufficient for the worlds needs
Still higher prices for cotton may be
expected. Steel prices are firm
with rising cost of production and
fair increase in demand. Both coal
and coke prices are strong. Pig
iron is in fair demand and strong.
Zinc is more active while prices
are low they are firm. The same
applies to tin and especially copper.
Copper is the last metal to feel the

ever, the deterioration and con-
sumption goes on even though the
retail purchases decline.
This means that after strikes are
settled there is a general rush to
buy. The wage workers when re-
turning to work again feel prosper
Gus. They and their families rush
to the stores and purchase goods.
The group of industries which have
been involved in the strike immedi-
ately receive an avalanche of or
ders. They in turn feel prosperous
and order new machinery and guam
titles of supplies. This sudden in
crease in business from both wage
workers and employers is quickly
felt by the jobbers who in turn pour
in orders upon the manufacturers.
1.-The immediate effect of this is
to cause temporary scarcity of
goods which in many instances re-
suits in the raising of prices. There
fore, should not be surprised to see
an increase in the wholesale prices
of many products this fall. In some
sections of the country there will be
distinct shortage in some lines of
goods. Merchants, therefore, are
justified in stockisg up now for fall
and winter trade. Those who have
contracts to fill should see that
these contracts are well covered.
When business is so dull, as it is at
present, it is hard to believe that
few months can see radical change
in the situation. Such is possible,
although price increase may be more
or less of a temporary nature.

are lead, rubber and petroleum.
Petroleum Is in a very interesting
position. The market is controlled
and there was never a time, even
during the palmiest Standard Oil
days, when the oil price situation
was so under the absolute control
of a few men. On the other hand,
there is a tremendous amount of oil

what will this mean to the
stock market? 1t looks to me as
if this would be benefit, especially
to the industrials. The cleanup of
the strike situation should help the
whole market. However, any stocks
purchased now should be selected

BADSON ANTICIPATES
ADVANCE IN PRICES

Wellesley Hills, Mass, July 20,
When interviewing Roger w. Bah
son regarding the railroad and coal
strikes, Mr.. Babson did not seem
surprised with recent developments.
He believes that things are working
out In a natural way and all inter
ests are doing the best they can
with bad situation. What seems
to interest Mr.. Babson most is the
possible effect on prices in general
following the strike settlements.
Discussing this possibility he says:
1.-THE strikes while in progress
naturally put general damper on
business. They have a dishearten-
ing effect on producers, jobbers and
retailers. Wage workers have less
to spend and manufacturers are less
interested in pushing their business.
All of this tends to hold up trade in
general. Yet during this period of
strikes, people are living, eating and
dressing just as if no strikes existed.
Houses are deteriorating, young
folks are getting married, children
are being born, clothes are wearing
out, and merchandise in general is
being confused. II deterioration and
consumption were suspended during
the depression Of labor strikes, then
strikes might be good for the coun-
try at times. Unfortunately, how

Cost of State Accident Board Palms

The fiscal year for State business
begins July l and ends June 80.
The present Chairman was inaugu-
rated and as such took charge of the
administration of the Compensation
and Safety laws a few days after
the beginning of the last fiscal year
on July 81, 1921. We are able to
compare the cost of maintaining the
Department during the year we have
been in charge with the costs during
preceding years under former
Boards. Ever mindful of your adj
montions to conduct the Department
at the minimum of expense consist
ent with maximum efficiency, we
have made no expenditure that was
not fully warranted, have been ex-
ceedingly careful not to incur trav-
cling or other expense that was not
absolutely necessary, and have cur
tailed the expenditure for printing
and stationery as much as we con-
sistently could.
As you know, the expense of
maintaining the Industrial Accident
Board is paid out of the general
fund upon Legislative appropriation.
The Board earns certain fees from
inspections of mines, boilers and ha-
zardous plants, which it returns to
the State T~reasurery. The gross ex-
pense for the last fiscal year is
S12,696,23 less than it was for the
preceding year and is approximately
100000 less than it has ever been.
The net drain on the general fund
has been S13,450.00 less than it was
during the preceding fiscal year and
approximately $24OO.OO cheaper
than it has ever heretofore been.
The figures giving the total cost
of operation, the income collected
and the net drain on the general
fund for the past five years are as
follows:
Total cost of Department, Income
Inspections and Net Cost of
Department as years Indicate:
Fiscal year 1917-1918 $52, 77O.15;
$28, 732.75; $24,O37.4O.
Fiscal year 1918-1919 56,477.35;
28, 944.67; 2~7,532.68.
Fiscal year 1919-192O 58,764.61;
2|8,O11.97; 3~O,752.64.
Fiscal year ~192O-1921 6~1,55O.O4;

Fiscal year 1%921-1922 48,853.S1;
27, 214.76; 21,639.O5.
The fund from which compensa-
ton payments are made is derived
by assessment upon the employers
who are under the protection of the
Act. 1t is a trust fund and belongs
to the employers rather than the
State. At the end of the fiscal year
IN June 80, 1922, the Board had on
nand, in this fund, S425, 761.69 of
which S317,958.16 is invested in
bonds and warrants netting from
i've to eight per cent. This is an in

in the fund at the beginning of
