AUSTRALIAN STEEL
WORKS TO CLOSE
Representatives of Capital
And Labor Fail to Reach
Agreement.

Trade Commissioner Sanger cables
to the Department of Commerce
from Melbourne that the Newcastle
Steel Works of the Broken Hin Pro-
prietary Company will close COM
pletely in the middle of April. NO
reason for the closing is given. but
II Is believed by Trade Commissioner
Ferrin. who recently returned from
Australia, that it Is part Of the COM
monwealth-w wide campaign on the
part OF employers to obtain reduc-
ton in labor costs. which have been
repeatedly declared by the Broken
Hill aud other interests to be undulx
high, in view of the depressed mar
kets for metals and metal products
The Broken Hill mines have been
working part time for long while.
and practically all the other mines
in the commonwealth, except coal,
have long been closed.
This view of the cause OF the New
castle shut down is strengthened by
Mr.. Sanger's cabled statement that
the conference of representatives Of
capital and labor from the six states,
called by the prime minister. has
broken up without practical results,
and that 'abor unrest and strikes
are anticipated.
Other statements in Mr.. Sangers
cabled summary of conditions show
that industry and commerce gener-
ally are dull. He says:

bourne, fS.930,000; Sydney, fS.990.000.
Both checking and savings deposits
in banks are unseasonably reduced,
but banks are willing to extend ac-
commodations to legitimate demands
Both imports and exports are de-
creasing. Total imports for Janu-
airy are valued at fs.640. 900: total
exports for January. f10.4S0,000. To-
tai imports from America for jan
uary were valued at fl ,260.00O Total
exports to America for January were
valued at f734.00O. Exports are al
most wholly wool and specie
Conditions relative to stocks OF
import and export commodities are
unchanged. The meat situation is
stationary.
1t is reported that the Common
wealth government line of ships will
be sold to private owners.
Immigration Is continuing, prima-
rily from England.
The permanent tariff board of three
members has been finally appointed.
The cost of living decreased slight
ly during January. Commodity in
dex number for the period was 1856.
General conditions are fairly salts
factory, but less encouraging. prin-
cipally due to marked depression in
mining and in the Industrial situa-
ton.

FEW NEW DEVELOPMENTS
IN FINANCIAL MARKETS
Greater Industrial Activity and Adverse Retail
Business Persists.

Little that is really new devel-
oped in the financial markets during
the past week. despite certain SUI
perficial Indications to the contrary.
A situation which comprehends
greater Industrial activity and dis
appointing detail business has per-
sisted. 1t Is true tNat the spring
Improvement In industrial opera.
tions which has applied especially
to the heavier and mechanical In
dustries has been greater and has
come earlier than had been expect
ed. 1t remains to be seen, however,
just how far this has resulted from
anticipations of a coal strike whtch
has been advertised and debated
unusually far in advance. Accumu-
lations of stocks of coal by consum-
ers began, in fact. as early as Janu-
airy; and, strike or no strike. a
sharp falling off in mining after
April is, extremely probable. the
next few weeks should enable US,
therefore, to place the present burst
Of activity in its proper perspec-
tive.
Money Rates Tighten.
The Tightening of money rates,
which has caused some little uncer-
tainty during the last few days, 10
development of no particular Sig
nIficance. 1t cannot be considered
properly without reference to the
pronounced ease of the previous
week. 1t is now thoroughly estab-
lished that tax date, with its
large Treasury operations, invari-
ably produces a brief period of abb
normal ease. The reaction from
this case is. accordingly. a perfectly
natural event. The reserve bank
statement shows. meanwhile, an
other high record ratio Of reserve.
and the logic of the situation sug-
gests that. as the spring movement
slackens, further case in money Will
result.
That the tendency of the money
market Is unchanged Is suggested
Furthermore by the behavior of the
bond market. All through the past
week, when money rates were hard
ening and stocks were reacttng,
bond prices held hrmer and worked
into new high ground. The ad-
vance has persisted. indeed. in spite

NEW YORK. March 25.-There
was a general concentration Of in

change during the past week in the
accumulation Of Hudson Tube is
sues chiefly through prominent
banking concern supposed to rep
resent new interests in the proper

Unsatisfactory :
ECONOMIC STATE
RULES in JAPAN
Condition Obtains, De
spite Continuance of
General DehatiOp.

The economic situation in Japan,
though not wanting favorable ele-
ments. remains unsatisfactory ac-
cordlng to cabled information re-
ceiyed by the Department of Com
merce from Trade Commissioner
Butts. In spite of the fact that
general defiation from the high point
reached at the end of last year Is
stin taking place. and that bank
rates are lower and money easier
than a month ago. it lis be-
coming Increasingly difhcult to ne
gotiate credits. This is due to the
depressed condition OF business. Saw
ings deposits in banks are decreas-
ing. Local capital. in so far as 1t
is active. is directed largely to hy-
droelectric undertakings and to trad
ing companies.
Indications of REIMBURSEMENT.
The sharp decline in new capitalize
ton, the decrease in new company
organizations. and the increase in
the number Of companies in proce ~
of liquidation, seem to indicate that
readjustment is being effected to
some extent On January IS, the
government fioated a loan of SCOT. 900
yen for railway construction and i'm
provements. Sale was made at 80,
with interest at 5 per cent and a
yield OF So per cent. 1t Is reported
that 15,0O0.O00 yen made available
by the proposed army reduction will
be used in purchases OF railway
equipment.
AS a result Of the continued ex-
cess Of imports. Japan's gold reserve
has been decreasing rapidly. The
combined gold holdings of the gov
eminent and the Bank of Japan, at
home and abroad. on January 81 of
this year totaled 2,03s.OO0 900 yen. a
decline OF $4,000. 900 ven during the
month. The entire decline was in
holdings abroad. of which govern
ment holdings declined $4,000. 900 yen.
as compared with December 81, 1921,
and Bank of Japan holdings de-
clined only 100000 yen. The COM
bined gold holdings both at home
and abroad at the end Of February
Of this year were 1875, 900, 900 ven.
decline Of $1,000. 900 yen during
the month. Such a rate of deple-
ton Of the gold holdings can hardly
continue at the same rate without
causing renewed disturbances In
Japan's commerce and finance.
Imports and Exports.
Import trade during the first half
Of March shows considerable in
creases In raw wool. pig iron. steel
petroleum and machinery, but de-
creases in rice and sugar. The ex-
port trade during the same period
showed encouraging increases in
waste silk, silk textiles, cotton tex
tiles and sugar. Other important
items Of export, among them copper
and coal. decreased markedly. Stocks
OF imported merchandise are increas-
ing, particularly in respect to raw
cotton and specialties.

OLD STAR, IS BACK
Next Saturdays Game
With Clarkson Tech Is
Causing Some Alarm

Mortified, Nov. 2.--AnotLer former
Norwich gridiron star, Captain John
Mcdonald Of the United States army,
crack halfback on the Maroon and
Colds championship eleven Of 1916,
started to-day to take hand in as
sisting Coach Potter in the work OF
shaping the team for the annual meet
ing with its ancient rival, the univer-
sity Of Vermont, week from Satur-
day. Mcdonald is giving the Norwich
PLAYERS all the football wisdom that
he acquired at college before he en-
listed for the World war. He is pay
ing particular attention to the back
field.
Norwich plays GARRISON Tech on Sa-
bine field Saturday afternoon. When
this game was booked by Manager
Northrup, it was looked upon as a
workout contest for the Vermont game
a week later; but in view of the
teams heavy setback at the hands Of
Middlebury last Saturday and the sue
cess that Clarkson has had with va
rious New York state teams this fall
the Saturday affair is causing Coach
Potter and his assistants more con-
Germ than was at first intended. II
is generally conceded that Norwich
will need to go better than in the Mid
dlebury game If Clarkson is to be de-
feated.

MICKEY WALKER
new "CHAMP'
Defeated Veteran Jack
Britton at Madison
Square Garden
THOUGH LATTER
STILL ON HIS FEET
But Britton Went to the
Floor Several
Times

New York, Nov. 2.-A grinning tou-
sic headed young fellow from Elizabeth,
N. D., is welterweight boxing champion
Of the world to-day because he had alb
solutely no respect for old age, wisdom
and cunning when he ran athwart them
at the Madison Square garden last eve
ming. He signs his check Michael "a
ward Walker, but the boys call him
Mickey and his appearance doesn't belle
the aptness of the monicker.
Mickey Walker is the new champion
and Jack Britton, the sage Of the ring,
is again an ex-champion. It's not ex-
actly q new role for Britton but it APP
pears likely to be permanent one now.
Jack held the title for nearly decade,
first losing it to Ted Md Lewis and
later regaining it from the same man.
The battle last night will stand out
in the annals Of boxing, and in the
memories Of those who saw 1t as one
of the most curious in a sport noted
for its ups and downs, and ms and
outs. Almost unprecedented, befo-e
even minor battles and extremely rare
among titular contests, was the action
of the state boxing commission in an
nouncing before the contest started
that "all bets are off
The state of New York by law and
the boxing commission by regulation
prohibits betting on the bouts. even II
1t does flourish. AT any rate Chairman
Muldoon Of the commission became
worried when he learned before the
bout started that the odds had changed
within few hours from six TO FIVE
on Britton to eight to five on Walker
and he had the announcement made
without further explanation.
The favorite was rafting affair
from the first gong and when the 18th
round ended and the battered champion
was still on his feet the crowd rallied
to the cry Of Joe HUMPHREYS, the vet
eran announcer, and gave three cheers
70 what Joe called the best champion
who ever lost his title in this arena
Walker led from the first and svea
though somewhat wild, penetrated the
mastery defense of Britton at once,
landing numerous damaging blows and
putting the champion on the defensive.
Britton went to the floor nearly half
a dozen times once from the combina-
tion Of light tap and q stumble, again
apparently to rest himself, and again
when the gong saved him, because his
aching stomach couldn't stand another
drive.
Britton's chief stock last night was
courage and crsftinsss Both enabled
him to escape a knockout Walker, too,
had cunning, but the effort Of contin
ually beating the canny Britton, who
forces a maximum expenditure of eu-
ergy for the smallest return and orca
sionally shot a staggering blow himself,
wore down the challenger and he was
weak when the battle ended.
