New York, jar. i4.-The mar
hets of America today are buyers
markets and millions of dollars are
pouring into them. Men on the
customers side of the counter for
the first time in some years are
able>to raise a voice in the naming
OF terms.
Manufacturers, merchants and
distributors are anxious for their
business apd are competing keenly
to get it. That is what conserva-
tive buyers have been waiting for
and as a consequence they are re-
moving the elastic band from their
pocketbooks and spending the con-
tents freely
Within the last few days three
railroads have announced purchas-
ing programs which include items
ranging from brass tacks to
freight cars, and which aggregate
over $4,000, 600. Other roads are
heavy consumers of commodities in
other lines. The effect of this buy
ing which is spreading to the in
dividual buyer, is setting every
nerve of the business to tingling
from activity. from the commodi-
ties to the finished products.
Credits Are Easier.
Low money for both call money
and time loans, which struck new
levels during the last week, are
helping buyers to supply their
needs and this trend toward easier
credit bids fair to go even farther
when the interest requirements OF
government and corporate bond is
sues, due Monday, have been met
The buying now going on, great
as is its volume, is discriminating
buying. Big purchasers know from
grim experience with empty pOck-
cts what they can do without. But
they are buying what they need
and buying it in larger quantities
Competition is growing sharper
daily and will continue TO do SO as
the smaller purchasers get into the
market more generally as they are
confidently expected to do so.
The spring of 1922, therefore,
will be a period of cost reduction
for the successful business man.
Such men have discovered that un-
less they trim their sails to the
winds of competition they are head
ing into danger and they are cut
ting costs and putting checks on
overhead at every possible point.
Firms Sell Service.
Once again firms are selling serv-

Especial to The Argus }

New York, Jan. l4.-Wll Hays,
postmaster general, is going into
the moVies-nOt as actor. director,
producer or exhibitor Then what?
Nobody knows exactly.
The movie is sick and needs a
doctor.
The industry, not yet out Of itR
swaddling clothes, was born with .
gold eagle in its mouth. and swal-
lowed the bird. The feathers are
beginning to tickle its stomach.
Exhibitors have prescribed low
film rentals and reduced admis-
siOns. Producers, disagreeing, say
film rentals cannot be lowered:
that the cost of production pro
hibits that.
Neither party is willing to walk
the floor with the squawkIug choe-
lid until it quiets down and be
comes like other normal inLuB-
tries.
Hays is to take care Of that.
Producers, distributors and exhibi-
tors are all willing to abide by the
remedy he prescribes. His fee viii
be at least $4,000 a year. Some
reports place it at Sl50,000.

Stanford's division of the Maricopa county superior court in the nature of friendly manda- mus action against the state land board and Rudolph Kuchler, state land commissioner, judicial ruling is sought to settle the question. of the ownership of precious metals, minerals, petroleum, or natural gas found on state lands after those lands have been sold and have passed 10 the ownership of private individuals.
 The suit has been filed by the Flying V Cattle company Of Glla county to compel Governor Campbell, Secretary of State Hall, State Audi tor Fairfield, State Treasurer Ear hart and Attorney General Galbraith and Land Commissioner Kuchler to approve the sale of some land in Navajo county to the cattle com pany and to issue them certificate of sale without the reservation clause l Contained in it which reserve the 1 ownership of metals and oils for the state.

 said, contained a clause, the sub
 stance of which is that all valuable metals, minerals, petroleum or ma
 tural gas contained in state lands
 sold are expressly reserved to tho | state of Arizona and are excepted forever from the provisions of th' certificate of sale of the lands.
 The land board, he said, hat maintained that the state has thu
 right to claim these products l
 found on state lands, although tn lands may have been sold. Nume1
 ous of the purchasers, he added
 have held that the state does no have the right to reserve the owner
 ship of the metals or oil, and anon
 those was the Flying V Cattle con pany, which has brought the suit | test the validity of the clause.
