ARMOUR LOOKS
TO
TRADE OF YEAR
Allied Industries of Company
Sustain Losses of S31, 709,-
S17 in 1921.
PACKER CHIEF HOPEFUL

CHICAGO, Jan. 18.-Emerging from a
year of financial depression, during
which losses mounted into millions, the
equal of which was never known in the
history of the company, Armour
and Company greet the new year con-
fdent of a turn to the better, accord
ing TO the annual report of President
j. Ogden Armour.
Losses sustained by Armour and Com
pany packing and allied industries
during the year just passed aggregated
S31, 7O9, S1t.52, according to the statement
of President Armour. That officials Of
the company look for better things Irin
the current year is evidenced in Armour's
statement that with losses completely
written off and with Inventories at
current market values. there is every
reason for looking TO better times"
FURTHER LIQUIDATION
HELD IMPROBABLE.
Further liquidation of prices, one Of
the chief factors in the business depres-
sion, according to the Armour statement,
is "unwarranted and hardly probable"
Adjustment of operating costs in the
packing industry has been brought about
gradually until virtually the normal
status prevails, and this, the report in
dicates, win ind reflection in the ere
Mobilization" Of the Industry generally.
Stress is laid upon the fact that the
greatest losses suffered were confined to
the by-products Industries. rather than
the meat industry itself In normal
times, the report asserts, these industries
are considered the Safeguards of the
packing industry. In one of these branch
industries, the Armour Fertilizer Com
pany, losses for the year totaled eight
and one-quarter millions-more than %
per cent of the total loss-the report
states. With the allied industries more
back TO normal a great step will have
bene taken forward, President Armour
indicates.
Need of sterilization of foreign ex-
change is given emphasis. Huge losses
of the industry resulted from this none
tary instability, the report asserts.
That the company, despite it's heavy
losses. is well prepared to enter upon
the new era is evidenced, the report
states in the fact that in face of these
losses, regular quarterly dividends have
been paid on preferred stock at the rate
of Z per cent and that on Dec. %, 1920.
a dividend of $1,000, 600 was declared and
paid on common stock. Conditions do
not warrant further dividends On COM
mon stock" the report adds.
Total assets Of the company are given
at S4S0,536, 27432. During 1921 the tOtal
volume Of business done by the company
amounted to 5000, 600, 900, the report
shows.

NEW RUSS BANK
IS SAID TO BE
IN GOOD SHAPE
Director Expresses Wish for
u. S. Financial Con-
nectiOns.

RIGA, Jan. 1S.-In the nine weeks that
the new Russian State Bank has been
in existence it has paid checks for more
than 1885, 900 100000 rubles, according
to NJ. Scheinman director, who passed
through Riga Ell route from Moscow to
Berlin. He deplored the bank had no
relations with any financial institution IN
the United States.
NJ. Scheinman spoke first Of the new
soviet policy and how it has led to the
.reopening Of the Russian bank which
had been closed abruptly three years
ago.
THE bank was reopened the middle of
last November" said the director. ITS
aim is to assist the state, commerce and
the cooperative societies as well as pri-
vate organizations But, principally, 1t
is to assist state owned industries. 1t
is realized however, the private initiative
can not be neglected.
BOOKS SHOW
LARGE DEPOSITS.
During the time since it got its bust
ness fully going the bank has credited
various organizations with 1000 600 600,
900 ruhles Soviet money, not the gold
rubles Of the old imperial regime).
THE soviet government is satisfied
with conditions. The demand for credit in
Russia has proved comparatively small,
however We have number Of private
accounts, but they are unimportant
There are indications they viii increase"
1t was at this point that the banker
told how many checks had passed
through the institution. He continued.
THE bank is opening branches in va
rious towns throughout Russia. The
government intends also to open credit
organizations feE the peasantry in the
agricultural districts.
HAS ONLY TWO
FOREIGN CONNECTIONS.
Abroad, the State bank has normal
relations with only two countries-Ger-
many and Sweden. However, some Of
the London banks have understandings
with us as to the opening Of accounts in
the Moscow State Bank, or the exchange
OF funds. It is regrettable we have no
relations with any American bank.
Personally, I favored the reopening Of
private banks but the Moscow govern
ment opposed It because Of the low rate
Of exchanges They feared speculation
by the bankers which might injure eco
monte conditions still further"

Wall Street Bankers Ask
y. S. Delegates at Genoa
Believe Nation Should Haze Part ir, World
Financial Conference March s.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S-Belief was ex-
pressed in Wall street banking circles
today that the United States will par
ticipate actively in the international
economic conference opening at Genoa
March and that the American delegates
will raise the question Of payment Of
international war debts owing to this
country.
There is every possibility that the
Washington conference will have ended
before the first of March. The American
Government probably would be opposed
to participation in two conferences at
the same time because of opportunity It
would give for ideals and bargaining.
So far no information has been given
out through Official channels whether
this country would accept the invita-
ton to the Genoa conference. 1t Is
known, however, that bankers have ad-
vised acceptance on the ground that
this Countrywide most prosperous In the
worldz-should lend its presence to any
great movement for the economic recon
struction of the world.
If the State Department should ac-
cept. the next question is whether this
country would send a delegation to take
an active part in the proceedings or

Great Britain. represented America.
BANKERS KEENLY
INTERESTED.
Bankers are keenly interested in the
proposed conference seeing in 1t the hrst
concerted world movement for economic
rehabilitation Of the nations that have
suffered severely through the war. And
now public interest has been focused
upon the war debt question by the
resolution introduced in the Senate by
Senator Mccormick calling upon the
State Department to furnish information
to the Senate regarding the financial

Augusta, Ga. ,Uan. 27.--Declaring
that If the world beloved in America
today as it did In 1917, cotton would
be selling for 3b cents a pound, the
federal reserve system would be func-

the &outh in particular would not be
in the grip of demora1iging business
depression, Gov. Robert "A. Cooper Of
South Carolina in an address this
evening before the Augusta board of

liberate opinion that had American
public opinion forced any unwilling
senate to rat}fy the treaty OF Paris
and let the United States take It's
appropriate place in readjusting the
political, economic and social prob
lens of the world, 1--WE would not be
passing through the financial crisis
which is testing the courage and faith
OF our people" It was not question
OF making the world safe for democ-
