NEW YORK, Feb. i.-Anotb.r
dull day in the stock market left

slightly more activity and furnished

Leather Stocks.
The strength in Endicott-John-
son common following publication
OF favorable income statement for
1921 spread the leath stocks
giving them the distinction OF he
ing one OF the two really strong
groups in this market. Endicott-
Johnson advanced more than
points. American Hide and Leather
common, was up frsctionaIly ana
the preferred advanced almost
points. Central Leather common
and preferred each rose a point or
so. The reason for the rise in En-
dicott, Of course. was the report OF
a profit Of s4,643.0OO last wear as
compared with s3.l5OOOO in 1920
The company handled its fnven-
tories courageously at the end OF
1920 and therefore stood TO gain
materially on the subsequent rise
In leather prices. The shoe manu-

the plants were operating close to

output was 100000 pairs Of shoes

Automobile stocks
Selling in the market for auto

The income statement Of the

made a much better aggregate

on the common stock. whereas in

forced to dip into surplus to pay a
small part OF the preferred divi-

aermon upon The Easter Meg
sage" At least SO members OF the
commandery from rural communi-
ties were in attendance.
The knights met at Masonic tenn
pie at o'clock and marched to
the church headed by Amoo grotto
band. The services began with the
singing OF Onward, Christian Sol,
der" which was followed by a
prayer by Ora L. Smith, command
cry prelate.
A ladies' trio sang, There is Joy
in the Mansions of Light" after
which Mr.. Smith led in the respon-
sive service OF the Templar Easter
day ritual
The commandery male quartet,
A. G.. Carlson, &. II. Wilson, E. E.
Russell and E. e. Johnson, sang
awake, Thou That Sleepeth," there
was a scripture lesson, and the

Angels" Following the sermon,
prayer was again offered, and the

GLIDING hymn was Stand Up, Stand
Up for Jesus"
The church was in beautiful Eas-

ed'to the utmost by the large con-
gregation.
Importance OF three attributes
faith, hope and love-in the pres

SAN FRANCISCO.

San Francisco, April 1.-THE
outlook for the coming season in
California is exceptionally bright,
San Francisco is in the midst OF
building campaign which promises
to exceed all records. Crops are
generally fair in spite of some dam
age experienced from frost mad
there has been a decided increase
in the output of petroleum from
the California oil fields. The only
cloud on the horizon is a renewal
of the labor controversy in the
building trades. This present dis
pute centers around the mechanics
in the building trades and metal
tades. The unions are making
fight against the open shop in the
building trades and there is no
question of wages or hours in
volved. The metal trades organiza-
tions are resisting a wage cut of
10 per cent, The building program
in San Francisco now aggregates
$50 ,000, 900 with more construction
in prospect. Building loans are
easier with interest rates trending
downward. There is plenty of
money for legitimate purposes.
Crops were damaged to some ex-
tent this week by frosts but the
damage cannot be estimated for
some days. Retail trade is improv-
ing steadily. Bank clearings are
larger. Increased orders are COM
ing in for petroleum, the demand
having been increased by the coal
strike. New wells are coming in
and nricec are firm
FIT. WORTH
FIT. Worth, April Trains
throughout the southwest have
caused a decided improvement in
business although some damage
was done by the waters. Whole
sale trade in nearly all lines is i'm
proving slowly. The big increase
in building construction has stimu-
lated sales of lumber, hardware and
other building materials. Farmers
in this section are making good
Roadway and implement and vehi-
Gle dealers report an improvement
in their orders. Trade in general
is more optimistic. e..
Automobile sales have increased
and oil production is responding to
the recent increases in gasoline
prices. High winds have caused
some damage in the uorthernmost
of the Texas fields. Collections
throughout the section are better
than fair.
Crop conditions throughout Okla
homa are excellent aud jobbing and
retail sales in that section have
been far more satisfactory in the
last fortnight. In southern Texas
floods have necessitated some re-
planting of corn but in Oklahoma
the crop is coming up. Cattle
growers are far more optimistic
and the range is in good condition
as regards feed and water. Wool
men are preparing TO shear in the
northern sections and expect to re-
ceive good prices for their clips.
