YEAR MAKES BAD
START IN WEST
Agricultural Conditions Unim-
proved-SteeI Trade Uncer-
tain-ldIe Cars Increase

Chicago, Jan. 7.-Conditlons in buSi-
ness in the West have not been as sat
isfactory as could have been wished the
first week of the new year, but several
OF the leading banking interests were
disposed to take the view that tinNn-
cial difficulties have been cleared up
satisfactorily. and thai from this time
on there will be steady Improvement.
Generally, money is regarded as tend
ing toward further easing in rates,
and as the demand for necessities grad
ually improves as the result Of dimin.
ished stocks, III" whole situation will
be better. Money rates in Chicago were
steady, with rates on collateral loans
u per cent; commercial paper, to 0M
per cent and over the counter loans, u
per cent, Collections are reported slow
in some instances and good in others.
Agricultural conditions show no
greHt improvement There is expected
to be an increased movement Of Rll the
leading cereals following the reduction
in freight rates, and this will swell
already large stocks, thereby tending TO
keep prices down. Milling interests
report better demand for flour since
the first of the year, which will tend
to steady wheat prices. Livestock
prices are holding up fairly well, and
this * an encouraging development.
In the steel trade the season of 1921
opens with a good deal Of uncertainty
but prospects are for operations to
engage larger percentage OF mill ca
pacity. Building operations are still
restricted by labor difficulties, and the
general uncertainties Of business. How
ever, some of the railroads are plaC-
ing orders for rails@in gOodly quan
titles, and any heavy buying by the
carriers will have good effect on bust
ness generally,
In the wholesale and jObbing trade
there is reported IL good demand from
retailers for most general lines, II
stocks are low as rule. The numbe
of idle freight cars Schowed an increase
for the week.
Reports from the automobile center
do not show any material improvement
in sales, although prices , have beel
greatly reduced The passing of thu
dividend on the General Motors commO
stock reflected the readjustment goipi
on In the motor industry.

LOCALS were firm
IN DULL MARKET
Developments in Commercial
Situation Being Watched
With Intense Interest

Dealings were on n small scale in the
abbreviated session of the local market.
What the market lacked in activity ami
breadth It made IN in strength. The
list as whole displayed q decidedly
strong tone and most of the prominent
local shares were fractionally higher.
One of the outstanding features was
the exceptional strength of West Jersey
and Senshore which on small dealings
advanced 2 points to 30. There has
apparently been quiet accumulation OF
the stock recently and which by some
is believed to forcshadow resumption
of dividends. Pennsylvania Railroad
also reflected better buying.
American Stores, L. G.. l., American
Railways common, Lake superior,
Electric preferred registered gains from
"a to u on nominal dealings.
individuality was conspicuously lack.
ing in the weeks operations In the local
market and what occurred was merely
sympathetic reflection Of the conflicting
and confusing gyrations of the New
York market. There was nothing OF local
coloring of sufficient influence to coun-
teract the restraining effect. To the
contrary, in so far as the affairs of
most of the local corporations were con-
cerncd, the uncertain solution of pend
ing problems melted a waiting attitude
rather than indulging in conjectural
conclusions. While q period of hesit-
ancy is confronting the stock market,
the outlook for the bond division con-
tinucs exceptionally bright and from
all Indications 1922 will go down in the
annals of the local financial commu-
nifty as II record breaker.
1t has been many years, In TACT not
since the 7O's has such intense interest
been manifested in the commercial stu
alton. The developments in the next
three weeks will be watched eagerly for
signs that may prove the real guiding
posts in shaping business plans for the
current year. In brief, everyone Is
anxiously awaiting the outcome of the
general cleaning up process, when II Is
understood. banking interests have In
mind. 1t Is an open secret that quite
n few concerns which were given
the first aid have shown disap-
pointing rccupcration in their con-
dition. Others, that have been
under the careful nursing of trus-
teeships and the creditors, committees,
have likewise developed inherent weak :
ness which at first was not supposed TO
exist. In consequence, there is pos.
s!bility that many Of these so called
lame l,rks In the business world VIII
be forced to walk the plank. While not
creating an altogether healthy atmos-
phere, il is felt such radical measures
will bring prompter clarifying OF the
general situation than If the nursing
along of these cripples was continued.

COTTON MARKET

New York. Jan. THE cotton mar
ket was a little stcadlcr this morning
and opened to points higher on
Wall street buying and weekend
covering. Relief was expressed over
the announcement of the appointment
of a creditors committee to supervise
the affairs Of the goods export house
Of Child & Joseph, and it was hoped
that with this out of the way and in
view Of favorable news from dry goods
sections as to demand and prices. the
raw article might do better. Renewed
covering after the start resulted in II
further advance in prices Of about l3
points above last nights close.

Mergers Will Reduce Costs

Those mergers. when completed. will
be highly beneficial to the companies
involved. 1t is certain that they wilt
result in Il great reduction IN costs. and
some have estimated that the saving will
amount to ~ much rs So per ton on
some finished steel. in addition to elm
mating high freight charges on some
business. because orders will be filled
by tho mills in the combines which are
near the point of consumption.
1t is probable that these consolida-
tions would have been dragging along
ns in the past, when attempts were
made to bring together the various CON-
paniCs, but for the fact that nll the or
gantzntions involved are producing and
selling at a loss. In their efforts to
eliminate this unfnvorable situation
those directing the mergers nre rush
ing through the details much faster than
they would have been doing Ind condi-
: tiOns In the industry been good.
There is just n possibility that the
three mergers known to be proposed
will be completed individually and then
all the companies be brought together in
one large organization. This would
be sane move. and would mean that
for tho first time since its organization
{ the United States Steel Corporation
would be facing real competition on even
terms.
