istration allied debt funding and
other bills. Mr.. McCumber is chair
man OF the Republican steering
committee" and comes up for re-
election next November.
The Republican vacancy on the
finance committee, according to
party spokesmen, probably will go
to Senator Frelinghuysen Of New
Jersey under the seniority rule. Sem
ator Penrose also was prominent
member of the immigration, naval
and banking committees.
Senator McCumbers position as
chairman of the pensions committee,
1t was said, probably would go to
Senator EllSins, of West Virginia.
Senator Penrose's death deprived
him by a few months Of the distinc-
ton Of having his name attached to
a general tariff revision bill. He has
worked for months on the pending
tariff measure. His constant devo-
tion to it and the tax revision law
was said by his friends to have taxed
his waning strength greatly. He
also handled the emergency tariff
act, together with committee dlrec-
ton of the allied debt funding Dill
He was a powerful factor IN tne
framing of the Payne -Aldrich ta.riff
act and leader of the opposition to
the Underwood law of th2 last
Democratic administration.
At an early date both senate and
house will hold memorial services
for Senator Penrose and possibly
simultaneously for his late colleague,
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, who
died last October.
Private Funeral
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-The
body of Senator Penrose was brought
to his bachelor home here today in
keeping with his oft expressed wish.
The family is planning to hold the
funeral as privately as possible. To-
night no time had been fixed for the
| interment.
DR.. Charles b. Penrose, one of the
senator's brothers, is awaiting defin-
| ite word from Spencer Penrose or
| Colorado Springs, another brother,
before making final arrangements. 1t
was said some members of the fam
| lily desire the funeral held without
any announcement.
The body was accompanied by l..

nurses who attended him. Tonight the
body Of the sentor rested in his big
old fashioned house under conditions
somewhat similar to the life he led
while there-virtuall alone. The
only occupant was a faithful old
house keeper. No crepe was dis
played on the door.
The death of the senator was not
entirely unexpected to those who
knew his real condition. Always ac-
tive in the state and national coun-
ellis of the Republican party, he
chafed under his long illness and took
on himself more than his physicians
desired him to.
Expressions of regret at the sena-
tors death came from men promin-
ent in the Republican and Democratic
parties of city, state and nation, and
from men in many professions and in
the civil life Of the city.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-The business
outlook is that 1929 will be much
better year than 1921.
Business depression began with the
collapse of the silk market in May,
1920. After 20 months on the down
grade, the basic industries, with ex-
ception of farming, seem definitely on
the mend.
The bottom of depression was
reached in July, 1921, when iron and
steel-the key industry-began climb
ing.
Prices Lower
Price deflation made rapid strides
during 1921.
Striking an average In the whole
sale markets, you now can buy for
81. as what cost 81 in 1918 and 81. 72
in May. 1920. the peak of initiation.
The figure was $1.77 in January,
1921.
Cost of living also deflated mate
rally during 1921. The wage Garner
now pays about $163 to get what cost
him s10O before the war, S205 in July,
1920, and $751; in January, 1921.
Wholesale prices Of farm products
have dropped most, with metals and
metal products second.
The short cotton crop boosted the
price in 1921. This was counter
balanced by slump in wheat and corn
prices. Average farm prices are only
about 10 per cent higher than in 1918.
Exports Grow
Total American exports slumped
from $S,22S,4 Ola in 1920 to about
$4, 500, ,00O,0 900 in 1921.
The falling off, however, was most
ly due to lower prices.
