rise in prices of farm products. 1t
came so easily and naturally as to
demonstrate that the country had
been suffering from excessive pessi-
mism, and that in the natural order
of things the economic situation,
given reasonable time, would re-
cover its equilibrium. Grain prices
in March lost part of their Feb
ruary gains, but the reasons were
obvious and there was no serious
loss of confidence. The breaking OF
the drought in the southwest and
Improvement in the outlook for the
Winter wheat crop was the prin-
cipal factor in the decline. For sew
eral months the country had been
hearing that the condition OF the
Kansas wheat crop was critical and
getting worse every day, and then
came snow and rain, and the pros
pect is now reported good for a
large crop. The world situation in
wheat is closely balanced and any
important news is likely to have
more than the usual effect. Aus
tralia and Argentina are both ex-
porting freely. New wheat from
India will be available within a
month, and the harvest is only three
months off in this country. AS the
end of the crop year approaches,
opinions about the supplies give way
to realities. There have been two
positive opinions as to whether or
not this country was selling itself
short. but the opinion is now gem
eral that there will be enough to go
around.
Corn and oats always are in
fluenced more or less by wheat, and
both are down from the top. The
stocks in the central markets are
well up to storage capacity, and the
speculative market is not inclined
to take more. The price OF corn
will be dominated in the long run
by the price of live stock. particu-
iarly hogs. Ten dollars per hum
dred for hogs mean that a large part
of the corn crop is being marketed
It very prs6iable prices.
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1922-04-20

Although the exports of all meat
products in 1921 increased 3 pg
cent. in pounds over those of 1920.
hog products Jared better than beet.
Cotton is about where it was at
the beginning of March. AS the
world has been living on reduced
consumption for several years, it
very much needs to use more cot
ton, and the situation is disquieting.
If the season should be bad for the
growing crop we may have very
high prices for cotton. Such an out
come is very undesirable, for it will
mean high prices to consumers
with little compensating benefit to
growers.
Prospects Encouraging
On the whole there seems to be
a good basis for believing that agri-
culture in all branches will have Z
better market for the next crop thaa
for the last one. The farmers costs
are declining, and we believe that
the necessary readjustments 70
bring industry into balance require
that they shall continue to decline.
It is in the interest Of all business
that the farmers, the most nurner-
GUS class in the country, shall have
a fair show in the field. With agri-
cultural production increasing il
Europe the farmer cannot expect
the prices of his products to &c
back to the high levels due to the
war, and if he has made mistakes d
Judgment by buying property q
high prices he has lots of company
among people who are not farmera
but he has right to expect thai
one way or another, his products
shall.have purchasing power in re-.
lation to other commodities as

war. We do not think that muen
can be done by means of lcgislatiap
to secure this to him, but are po1-
tive in our opinion that economle
law will bring it to him, and w

DEMOCRATIC LANDSLIDE
FELT IN FIVE MORE STATES

Recent municipal elections in
Rhode Island, Maryland, Connect
cut, West Virginia, and Missouri gave
renewed evidence that this is Demo-
cratic year.
Burreville, R. l., elected an en-
tire Democratic ticket by pluralities
of 500, overturning 1920 republican
pluralities of 800.
Hagerstown, Nd, elected Demo-
cratic mayor by $50 majority, over
turning a republican affiliated ma
jority of TOO; also two councilmen.
Hartford, Conn, went Democratic
by record vote, reversing republic
can victory of two years ago. The
Democratict candidate for mayor re-
ceived 3,575 majority and the Demo-
cratic candidate for Controller de-
feated republican who has held the
office for % years. The Board of
Assessors is Democratic for the first
time in twenty years.
Benwood, w. Va, answered the
question whats in a manner" by
electing James Cox, the Democratic
candidate for mayor over a republi-
can who had held the office for four
terms.
Old Missouri showed 'em when
Kansas City elected Frank Cromwell
mayor (Democrat) by about 10000
majority and the balance of the Dem
ocratic ticket by majorities ranging
from 1000 up; Jefferson City fol-
lowed suit with majorities averaging
500, electing five aldermen, giving
the new board seven Democrats and
three republicans. Five other Mis-
souri, cities elected Democratic may
ors-Macon, Butler, Fulton, Car
thage and Sedalia.
The significance of these elections
is found in the fact that they repeat
the results of other municipal cleo
tions in every section of the coun-
try; they indicate as well as anything
can indicate the trend away from
the leadership Of the republican
party and that republicans who are
more interested in the welfare of
their country than they are in par
tianship are joining hands with the
Democrats in an effort to restore
Democratic economy and intelligence
in government. Democratic munich
pal victories in Congressional year
have always been the true signs of
Democratic national victory in the
fall, say the Democratic statisticians.

TOHE general feeling in bushes,

TIME general feellng IN business
circles is one of Strengthening
confidence that the corner has
bccii turned and that 1922 will be
bet year than 1921. The improve
mct in fundamental conditions and
in ;neral feeling since the first of
III year has been very marked; in
d.. from the middle of January to
tn first of March optimism was
p, .haps over-pronounced, and a
ne crate reaction in sometimes has
n ally resulted.
nc stock market, which is
pr ,Hlpt to reflect and even anticipate
cfanyes in fundamental conditions,
IN been creeping upward for the
list six months in a slow but per-
,iStcnt movement which suggests
faith that better days are coming.
Railroad traffic, as indicated by
the reports of car-loadings since the
first of the year, have been running
ahead of last year, although Janu-
airy gross earnings were about 10
per cent. below those of the same
month of 1921. On the other hand
the net earnings of 1919 roads were
$57,421,605 in January against
$ZS.33l,o56 in January, 1921, which
reflects the reduction in operating
expenses.
Trading in all lines is on a short
order basis. Foreign buyers wish
to avoid the risks of exchange
fluctuations so far as possible, and
in the domestic trade there is pros
pect that in some lines, particu-
larly clothing and textiles, prices
may be lower. There is general
agreement, however, that both at
home and abroad stocks have been
worked down to the minimum and
that there must be constant buying
to meet the demands for current
consumption. This is one respect
in which the situation is decidedly
more favorable than it was in the
latter part of 1920 and throughout
most Of 1921.
The steel industry has made a
marked recovery, the United States
Steel Corporation now operating at
about 20 per cent. OF capacity and
the independent companies in the
aggregate at probably 90 per cent.
When it is considered that produc-
ton capacity has increased about
50 per cent. since before the war, it
will be seen that this is far from
state of stagnation.
The implement industry, although
still far from normal, is much better
than at this time last year, and that
is the case also with the automobile
industry. and even more SO with the
building industry. The figures for
the latter are quite remarkable, per-
mits in 16l cities aggregating
$132,90o.000 in February last,
against Ss0,433,l67 in February,
1921,

OTHER FACTORS INFLUENCING CONDITIONS

Aside from the unsettled extremely unsatisfactory state
of the separations question European affairs have been pro-
crossing in to give encouragement.
The Genoa Conference although of import should
accomplish something by bringing the high representatives OF all
Europe together.
The disturbance in the textile industry Of New England
unsettled and spreading with likelihood of involving the entire
textile industry of that section before it is settled
The public has taken the impending coal strike quietly
refusing believe that there will be serious effects

The labor organizations have than the
ployers but both subject economic law There to
the industrial problem than mere trial Of strength between
employers and wagewoes Industrial and
dependent upon general understanding Of this fact.
The unavoable factor which continues to retard industrial
recovery the unbalanced relationship between values in the
different industries resulting from the fall of prices and
wages.
