THE general feeling in business
circles is one of strengthening

"HE general feeling in business
circles is one of Strengthening
n confidence that the corner has
been turned and that 1922 will be
better year than 1921. The improve
mer. in fundamental conditions and
in general feeling since the first of
the year has been very marked; in
deed, from the middle of January to
the first OF March optimism was
perhaps over-pronounced, and a
moderate reaction in some lines has
naturally resulted.
The stock market, which is
prompt to reflect and even anticipate
changes in fundamental conditions,
has been creeping upward for the
last six months in a slow but per-
sistent 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 100 roads were
S57.42l COS in January against
S2S,33l,9 $50 in January, 1921, which
reflects the reduction in operating
expenses.
Trading in all lines is on a short
o.Jer basis. Fcrc:Gn 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
so per cent. since before the war, it
will be seen that this is far from a
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
n1its in l6l cities aggregating
$132,909,000 in February last,
against $50,433,167 in February.
1921.
The Situation in Agriculture
The chief factor in the change of
sentiment which has occurred since
the first of the year has been the

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 os confidence. The breaking of
the drought IN the southwest and
Improvement in the outlook for the
Winter wheat crop was tho prin-
cipal factor in the decline. For sew
eral months the country had been
hearing that the condition of the
Kansas wheat cropNwas 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 gen.
eral that there will be enough to go
around.
Corn and oats always are in
Auenced 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-
larly hogs. Ten dollars per hum
dred for hogs mean that large part
of the corn crop is being marketed
at very profitable prices. -

1912 YEARS FOR
EX-SERVICE MAN
Posey Abernathy Convicted Of
Voluntary Manslaughter At
Moultrie

MOULTRIE, April 12.-Posey Alb
ernathy was convicted here today of
voluntary manslaughter in connection
with the killing of Will Jackson, and
the penalty fixed by the jury at l to
IL years in the penitentiary.
The killing occurred at a country
dance near Moultrie in February, and
Abernathy, an ex-service man, was
placed on trial for murder yesterday
morning. Judge w. E. Thomas, who
presided, ordered that the widow and
three young children of Jackson be
kept out of the courtroom during the
trial, in order that the case should
be tried on facts and not on sympa-
thy that would be either for or
against the accused"
According to the prosecution Aber-
nathy attended the dance where the
killing occurred unlimited, unexpect-
ed and drunk, and that he insulted
Jackson's wife. which precipatated the
killing When Jackson demonstrated,
the state claims, Abernathy invited
him out in the yard and there "cut his
throat with no more concern than q
farmer has when he stabs hogs in
hog-killing time"
Alternately entered plea of self
defense, admitting he killed Jackson.
Jackson, Abernathy swore. had one of
his hands in his pocket as if reaching
for a pistol, when he used his knife
with deadly effect A search of jack
sons body, however, showed he car
ried only a small penknife which
could he onened only with. difficulty
because of its rusty condition.
