SUNRISE FLUSHES
BUSINESS HORIZON,
REPORT REVEALS
Higher Farm Products
And Less Unemploy-
ment Recorded.

Vast improvement in prices Of
agricultural products in recent
weeks shows a fundamental change
in business conditions which are
gradually returning to normal, ac-
cording to the Department of Com
me-ce.
The departments survey of cur
rent business shows that there is a
marked Improvement over the con-
ditions a few months ago.
The survey reports conditions up
to March 20. 1t reveals that, with
the exception of tobacco, all farm
products have gained. Livestock
has increased in price from 40 to 70
per cent, wool % per cent. Minor
cereals show substantial gains dur
ing February and the first two
weeks of March.
Cotton consumption is now 20 per
cent larger than a year ago.
The iron and steel output was in
creased during February, the sur
vey shows. Prices are still low
and in many cases below the pre-
war level.
PiG-i-on production in February
amounted, to 1,63O,O0O tons. as COM
pared to 1.937,OO tons in February.
1921. The daily average production
of 5S.214 tons was the highest since
February, 1921. For the first time in
twelve months steel ingot produc-
ton passed the 100000 mark.
The untitled orders of the U. s.
Steel Corporation showed a further
decline of 101, 1000 tons, giving a
total at the end of February of A.
141,000 tons. This was interpreted
as indicating an increase in the cor
poration's operations rather than
any unfavorable trend N the indus
try.
Coal production has been abnor-
mally large, it was stated, because
of the strike threat Prices were
slightly lower in February The
output of bituminous coal was
100000 tons greater than in Jan
uary.
In the building trades. despite the
short month, contracts awarded in
the twenty-seyen Northeastern
States during February were valued
at S177,365. 900, an increase of s11,-
100000 over January.
Unemployment conditions are re-
ported improved. with a marked in
crease in weekly earnings, indi-
eating that mills are running more
hours per week.
Wholesale prices increased slight
ly with a rise of 10 points in the
in lex number of farm products. The
movement of the stock market was
upward. Sales on the New York
Stock Exchange for February to-
tailed 16.1S5,0OO shares, as compared
with 1O,147.OoO year ago.
Foreign trade, however, continued
to decline. with a total of $251, ,0O0,-
900 for the month as compared with
S4S6.00O,000 in February. 1921. This
is the lowest value for American
export trade for any month Since
1915, it was said.

WANT U. S. TROOPS
TO STAY IN CHINA

TIENTsIN, March 22.-The Amer
lean Chamber of Commerce will
meet here tomorrow to protest the
withdrawal of the Fifteenth United
States Infantry, under the army re-
duction orders. This will leave North
China entirely without white troops,
only Sikhs. Anamese and Japanese
keeping open the railway to Pekin.
The Europeans here also strongly
urge the retention of the American
troops.
In addition to the prospects of
civil war. members of the British
Foreign Bible Society have discov-
cred that Chinese communist mani
festos have been inserted in the
gospels of the missionaries which
were widely distributed thRughout
the province of Chilli. These docu-
ments call on the Chinese to ex-
tinguish the military ruled govern
ment and also capitalism.

DIR. WIRTH PALES
AT ALLIES NOTE;
FALL PREDICTED
German Plans Doomed by
ReparatiOns De-
mands.

BERLIN, March 22.-Today's de-
msnds of the allied reparations
commission were contained in a
note which was handed to Chan
cellor Wirth during an official
meeting and their receipt has dis
rupted the activities of the entire
German government. Cabinet
members at the session declared
that the new situation means ca
tastrophe for Germany. DIR. Wirth
was pale and nervous when he
quit the meeting. declaring that all
of Germany's plans have been
shattered.
DR.. Gustav Stresemann, speaker
for the Peoples party, declared
that the coalition government is
broken. Other party leaders say
the allied demands will result in a
collapse of the cabinet, inasmuch
as it Is believed that the politi-
clans will not dare to accept tho
entente's rulings.
"ImpOssibIe," Is Cry.
All parties are agreed that 1t
will be impossible to fulfil the new
demands for this years German
payment. The. entente's demands
are as follows:
Germany must pay 100000, 900
gold marks ($1SO,O0O, ,O0O) of which
2S0 ,000.000 gold marks C$7O, ,O0O,-
000) already has been paid; 1,45O,-
100000 gold marks (s365, ,00O, ,OOO)
worth of materials, which includes
the 220,O00.OO0 gold marks ($55,-
O0o,oOO) in payment for the French.
British and Belgian armies of oc-
cupation. Germany also must ball
ance its budget by a 1000, O,OO0. 900
gold marks (s25O.OO0, ,O00) internal
loan. Furthermore 1t must cut
down the printing of paper money.
Resignation Seems Inevitable.
That the Wirth cabinet must
resign is the opinion of the ma
jority of the Reichstag members
who regard the entente's action
as giving a death blow to DR..
Wirth's eight months policy of
fulfilment 1t is believed that Dr.
Wirth and also Foreign Minister
Rathenau will be forced from the
leadership.
The majority Socialists already
have revived the plan of selling
gold and other materials of perma-
nent values as a method of meet
ing the entente requirements.
