volume OF new domestic and for
eign securities placerd within Unit
ed States was normally about twice
that Of any other single country.
The war diverted the course Of
international finance from estab-
lished channels and increased the
needs and borrowings of other Ha-
tons from the American market,
but the developments under peace
conditions would have been along
similar lines.
America will not have matters
all her own way in world finance.
There is severe competition ahead.
Improving money conditions
abroad, particularly in London
where there has been marked
lowering of rate. will increase ef-
feetive rivalry with this country.
The favorable position Of the dol
lar among the currcncies of the
world has made foreign borrowings
here particularly advantageous in
the past few years, but as the pre-
MUM on the dollar declines this
advantage will be reduced Inter
national competition demands the
further development in America Of
sound foreign investment expert
ence and judgment.
Business Conditions
Improvement in business with in
creased stability in underlying con-
ditions characterized the period
from February Is to March Is.
Prices of the major commodities
have shown only normal fuctua-
tions. Many lines Of industry give
evidence of increased activity and
there appears to have been some
decrease in industrial unemploy-
ment. Retail trade over the coun-
ter is reported as unsatisfactory
but mail order houses generally
show an increase in business, attri-
butable to the improved purchasing
power and mental attitude Of the
farmer, due 10 the rise in agricul-
tural prices.
Wholesale trade is generally re-
ported to be better, although a
considerable degree Of caution
wisely prevails. The rate Of iron
and steel production has increased,
but the volume Of forward orders
still remains restricted. 1mmedl-
ate demand for boots and shoes is
less active and other sections Of
the hide and leather trade contin-
ues to lag. The cotton textile Sit
uation is handicapped by strikes
in the New England cotton nils.
Wool manufacture is operating at n
fair rate. although the demand Tor
wooden and worSted fabrics has
been disappointing. There has been
a marked increase Of activity in the
manufacture of automobiles, tires
;and accessories. Car loadings have
increased materially during recent
weeks. Exports are at a low level,
but this is normally the season OF
a. light export movement. BuSl-
ness failures have declined in num-
her since the beginning Of the year.
The past month has shown i'm
.nroverrent in fundamental condi-
fions. and consequently in business
sentiment. as has been the case
each month since midsummer OF
1921. The period OF extreme dis
-couragement in the United States
hos now. passed and there is wide
spread and justified confidence IN
the. jor" future.

Pisgah News Notes.

PiSgah. March 24.-The exces-
sive rainfall for months has re-
tarded farm progress very much
and not a great deal has been
done. With good weather from
now on work will soon get normal
again. The fall oats look very well
considering no top dressing on
them. Spring oats are small. The
financial condition is so bad that
several have abandoned their
farms and gone elsewhere. Could
not get any money TO run on.
don't think there will be
much change in farm crops from
former years. People will have to
do the best they can and not as they
would like to.
On the Charleston road between
Boykin's Mill and Camden is a
pretty field Of English peas be-
longing to Mr.. Wooten Of Camden.
1t is a novelty to see so large q field
Of peas Of that kind. Grown for
market l guess
Mr.. c. ". Josey who has been
living below Sumter for some years
has moved back with his family to
his old place and built pretty
bungalow. We are all glad tc
have him come home.
Simpson SaXton, a worthy and
industrious lored man, who
bought Mrs. Matte Mcleod 5
place not long since, has remod-
eled and built to his house and now
has a good convenient dwelling.
The government in selling the old
clothes of the soldiers has sup
piled a needy want 20 the colored
people so they could clothe them
selves cheaply. They look like sol
diers in the army cothes.
Rafting Creeks tax assessors
have been in Office for about ten
years If all the state and county
officers could stay in Office that
long it would save a heap of trouble
and expense in elections.
News in this section is scarce.
Nothing but what people hear and
see every day, so it is useless to
report what everybody knows and
sees.
People through this section have
saved all their meat. l hear OF
none being spoilt.
The potato crop has kept re-
markably we'll, none rotting.
The hens have done we'll for
there has been more eggs on the
market than ever heard Of. Hard
times I guess is the cause.
Dogs have no owners among
many people. The tax law has de-
prived them Of many.
Guano is hard to get without the
money and many people can't get
get it as they have not the money
TO pay for it.
Thousands OF people in the state
cent pay their taxes and the state
will have to wait on them until
they can pay or take their homes.
Boil weevil and high taxes have
about bankrupted the state. 1t is
getting bad here with many pee
pie who have hardly anything to
live on.
