Bradstreet's Report

New York. oct. ISradstrcet's to-
morrow will say:
Weather irregularities-It is too
warm in some sections for retail trade
are responsible for lack Of uniform
formity is visible in the general trade
and industrial survey. In wholesale
and jobbing trade and in Industry the
trend is still in the direction Of pro-
gress, reports, in fact being the best
since the late spring of 1920. and col
lections are the hest since year ago.
Rradstreet's Weekly food index has
again advanced. and in commodities as
whole advances still outnumber de-
clines. Mail order trade comparisons
are improving.
While reports as to jobbing trade
are the best for at least two years.
and the general outlook is still quite
uniformly favorable. there are enough
contrasts in volume and scope Of buy
ings to deserve notice. Thus. in the
wide scope of buying and strength Of
nrices, the textiles, cotton wool and
silk. and their finished products, easily
lead. and the readiness with which
BUYERS pay prices asked is regarded as
testimony to the low level of stocks
in final distributors hands and the
stimulating effects of recent tariff
legislation.

must share IN
This burden, as events since the
end OF the war have proved, it fol-
Jews quite naturally that all hui
,ranity must share in the restitu-
tion of these destroyed values.
{! What is needed is greater prac-
ticcs Of thrift throughout the
world. and, no plan will be success
tul that is not based on these prac-
tices by the people. What is need
ed, therefore, more than anything
else is worldwide revival of the
thrift spirit. In our personal lives
there are no shortcuts by which
we can build ourselves up, ex-
eepting through the orderly pro-
tesses of working and saving. And
exactly the same rule holds good
with nations.
! Not enough is being said about
thrift throughout the world. Not
enough of it is taught in the
schoolroom. Not enough is
preached from the pulpits and
through the press.
\ More intensive practices Of
thrift would form a background
that would prove Of incalculabls
value in bringing to q successful
elimination any plans for world
wide sterilization that may be
worked out.
If each individual who reads
these lines will take these thoughts
home to himself and do what he
can to lend impetus to thrift, a
splendid start will have been made
toward the restoration ct world
wide prosperity and goodwill.

what are commonly regarded as sac
sues continued to be somewhat of a
mystery. Presumably demands for
funds in connection with commercial
pursuits by banking institutions and
individuals explained in a measure
the pressure of offerings, but it is
also conceivable that considerable
selling came from speculative inter-
ests who were disappointed in not
finding an immediate higher market
Tor their purchases at par.
While the list of the market
showed early hesitation with some
large concessions in various groups,
the late trend was uniformly upward
