NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-(U. P.)-
With both New York ball clubs IN
their own parks next season there VIII
be tremendous rivalry for the patron
age of the Manhattan fans.
While nothing is yet known about
the schedules, it is taken as a forcgon@
conclusion that both the Yanks and
the Giants will have some conflicting
dates at home.
The desire for more Sunday dates
caused the Giants to terminate the ar
rangement which gave the Yankees
use OF the Polo grounds for half the
season and when the Giants want more
Sunday games, the schedule makers
most likely will grant them, as one
other club will profit also.
The same is true of the Yankees
In Babe Ruth, the Yanks have the

If the big fellow does what he prom
ises to do this winter, he ought to hit

In addition it would be no surprise
to see Eddie Collins working around
second base. The greatest of all sec

came so easily and naturally as to
demonstrate that the country had
been suffering from excessive pessi-
misn, and that in the natural order
of things the economic situation,
given reasonable time, would re-
cover its equilibrium. Grain prices
in March lost a part OF their Feb
ruary gains, but the reasons were
obvious and there was no serious
loss Of confidence. The breaking Of
the drought in the southwest and
improvement in the outlook for the
Winter wheat crop was the prin-
cipal factor in the decline. For sew
eral months the country had been
hearing that the condition OF the
Kansas wheat crop was critical and
getting worse every day, and then
came snow and rain, and the pros
pect is now reported good for a
large crop. The world situation in
wheat is closely balanced and any
important news is likely to have
more than the usual effect. Aus
tralia and Argentina are both ex-
porting freely. New wheat from
India will be available within a
month, and the harvest is only three
months off in this country. As the
end OF the crop year approaches,
opinions about the supplies give way
to realities. There have been two
positive opinions as to whether or
not this country was selling itself
short, but the opinion is now gen.
eral that there will be enough to 60
around.

both are down from the top. The

by the price of live stock, particu.

ADDITIONAL PAVING IS
PLANNED BY LAS VEGAS

Las Vegas, N. M. April s.
South Pacific street in the town
of Las Vegas, which has been no
torious for its roughness, likely
will be paved this year. Over co
per cent of the property owners
are said to have signed a petition
asking for the improvement. AS
the street is part of the Santa Fe
trail and nearly all transcontinen-
tai tourists traverse it, the i'm
provement will be of great bene-
fit.
Two men owning property on
the Plaza, Charles Ilfeld and John
D. W. Veeder have subscribed
$500 each to the Identification of
the plaza. The improvements will
cost $4,000. and it is believed that
the $500 remaining to be sub
scribed will be obtained readily
from business men on the plaza
and Bridge street.

Although the exports Of all meat
products in 1921 increased 3 per
cent. in pounds over those Of 1920,
hog products Jared better than beef.
Cotton is about where it was at
the beginning of March. AS the
world has been living on reduced
consumption for several years, it
very much needs to use more cot
ton, and the situation is disquieting.
If the season should be bad for the
growing crop we may have very
high prices for cotton. Such an out
come is very undesirable, for il will
mean high prices to consumers
with little compensating benefit to
growers.
Prospects Encouraging
On the whole there seems to be
good basis for believing that agri-
culture in all branches will have a
better market for the next crop than
for the last one. The farmers costs
are declining, and we believe that
the necessary readjustments to
bring industry into balance require
that they shall continue to decline.
1t is in the interest Of all business
that the farmers, the most numer-
Gus class in the country, shall have
a fair show in the field. With agri-
cultural production increasing in
Europe the farmer cannot expect
the prices OF his products to 60
back to the high levels due to the
war, and il he has made mistakes OF
judgment by buying property at
high prices he has lots of company
among people who are not farmers,
but he has a right to expect that
one way or another, his products
shall have purchasing power in re-
lation to other commodities and
services equal to that of before the
war. We do not think that much
can be done by means of legislation
to secure this to him, but are posi-
tive in Our opinion that economic
law will bring il to him. and we
counsel all other groups TO cheer
fully accord it to him as rightfully
due

confidence that the corner has
been turned and that 1922 will be a
better year than 1921. The improve
ment in fundamental conditions and
In general feeling since the first of
the year has been very marked; in
deed, from the middle OF January to
the first of March optimism was
perhaps over-pronounced, and q
moderate reaction in some lines has
naturally resulted.
The stock market, which is
prompt 10 reflect and even anticipate
changes in fundamental conditions,
has been creeping upward for the
last six months in slow but per-
sistent movement which suggests
faith that better days are coming.
Railroad traffic, as indicated by
the reports OF ear-loadings since the
first Of the year, have been running
ahead of last year, although Jsnu-
airy gros. earnings were about Is
per cent. below those Of the same
month OF 1921. On the other hand
the net earnings OF 1879 roads were
$57,421,6 SOS in January against
$2S,33l,956 in January, 1921, which
reflects the reduction in operating
expenses.
Trading in all lines is on a short
order basis. Foreign buyers wish
to avoid the risks OF exchange
fluctuations so far as possible, and
in the domestic trade there is a pros
pect that in some lines, particu-
larry clothing and textiles, prices
may be lower. There is general
agreement, however, that both at
home and abroad stocks have been
worked down to the minimum, and
that there must be constant buying
to meet the demands for current
consumption. This is one respect
in which the situation is decidedly
more favorable than it was in the
latter part of 1920 and throughout
most Of 1921. 49,
The steel industry has made

Steel Corporation now operating at
about 20 per cent. OF capacity and
the independent companies in the
aggregate at probably 90 per cent.

ton capacity has increased about
so per cent. since before the war, il
will be seen that this is far from
state OF stagnation.

still far from normal, i, much better
