WASHINGTON of buying
power by the American farmer is
perhaps the greatest single factor
behind the present stagnant indus
trial and business situation, says
Secretary of Agriculture Henry c..
Wallace.
The farmer is today receiving for
his principal products a lower level
of prices than he received in 1913
and 1914, before the war!
But he is paying, on an average,
159 per cent more for the things
he has to buy than he paid in 1913.
The result is that in purchasing
power the dollar the farmer receives
today is, compared to the dollar he
received in 1913, worth just SO cents.
He must spend $3.50 to get the same
he got for 81 before the war.
And he has no more dollars with
which to buy than he had in 1913.
That is the situation in nutshell.
Disastrous Effect
"When we remember that approx
mately 40 per cent of all our people
live in the country and are depend
ent upon what grows out OF the
soil" says WalIack, 1.-THE disastrous
effect upon the nation of reducing
the purchasing power of that Az per
cent-more than 40,000,000 persons
so far below normal is obvious.
1--WE are sadly lacking in under
standing of economic laws or IN our
adjustment to them when the pro-
duction of bounteous crops by the
hard labor of 100000 farmers ana
their families is permitted to play
such large part in paralyzlng our
business and our industries.
For, with the purchasing power
of his dollars cut more than in man,
the farmer is compelled to practice
the most rigid economy. And VIC
must not forget that the farmer IS
a consumer as we'll as producer.
"He must wear his old clothes'
repair his old machinery, deny MS
family not only 1uXuries but com
forts-must refrain from purchasing
everything he can possibly do With
out.
'This in turn forces the manufac-
turer to restrict his output to the
lessened demand, reducing his own
n11rchases of raw material and re-
ducing the number of his workmen.
Men out of work must live on
their savings or on credit and are IN
turn compelled to practice economy
by reducing their buying. Thls
| further restricts the farmers mar
ket, and we start to swing through
the same vicious circle again"
Comparative Costs
| Just how the farmer is ground
between the economic millstones OF
low prices and high costs, however
may best be visualized by compar-
! ing what he has to give today III
actual farm produce for the things
he must have to carry on his work
To buy s. $50 suit of Clothes he
must exchange 200 pounds CT raw
wool, or the years clip from flock
of twenty sheep. He could get 6
better suit in 1913 for $40 worth OF
wool, which he could clip from four
teen sheep.
Today, if he needs a new wagon
it will take the proceeds from $50
bushels of corn to purchase it. He
could have bought the same wager
| in 1913 with 10 bushels. The price
of farm wagons has gone up from
SIT to $146 since 1918. The price o.

Changes Small,
Trade Dull on
Stock Exchange
Curtailment Of Operations
Believed to Indicate New
Phase Of Market Cycle:
lrregularity in Prices

Dealings IN speculative securities at
the New York Stock Exchange were
much smaller in volume yesterday than
IN the various sessions last week. The
curtailment of operations. following a
period Of profit taking on Saturday. led
observers to conclude that new tenn
porary phase in the market cycle had
been reached.
In estimating the meaning Of huctu-
atlons at the marketplacc at this time
1t is essential to lay emphasis on
the dominant position Of professional
traders and speculative pools who spe-
cialize in understanding the so-callcd
technical position in the market. There
was widespread view that the rise
and many of those with stocks on hand
quoted at prices higher than those pre-
vailing at tho time they were pur-
chased evidently decided to sell and
establish gains. Instead of weakness
there was irregularity, with tendency
toward hcavincss in most groups Of
stocks. There was evidence of buying
support when prices receded In the
face Of the prevailing easiness the
sugar shares, long neglected and de.
pressed, were firm as further details
of proposed merger became known
With the stock market colorless and
the changes for the most part lacking
significance. dealings in commodities
and foreign exchange were likewise
quiet. Sterling rates were shade
higher, but French and German ex-
/ changes were lower. The latter re-
cessions reflect some uncertainty in
financial quarters as to the effect the
ministerial change in France will have
on the Genoa conference and other eff
forts to straightcn out the economic
and political tanglcs of Europe.
Less favorable gossip from the cot
ton goods trade and break in Bonn

decline in the volume of acceptances

factors in the reduction of this item,

Governments Financing Program

If the government is planning the
funding Of any considerable part of
its war debt through the issuance of
Iongterm obligations, course which
many bankers deem desirable, it has
SO Tar kept this intention a closely
guarded secret. Secretary OF the Treas
ury Mellon is not regarded as the type
of man who would engage in lengthy
conversations on the subject with
bankers, but the feeling is that if he
favors such a program, which would
TT in with present market conditions,
his hands would be tied by reasons of
political expediency. The outlook is
accepted as involving further offerings
from time to time Of short-term notes
of the character previously issued.
