BUSINESS GOES
Abe AID RAJ IDLY
Current Reports Show
Continued and Gener-
al Improvement.

WASHINGTON = Increased pro-
duction, more stable prices, and larger
exports trade are the principal tea
lures shown by figures received by the
department of commerce for its sur
vey of current business. Adequate
statistics on the distribution of manu-
featured commodities are not avail
able, so that it is impossible to tell
how these goods are moving into con-
sumption or how much is going into
stocks. Commercial trade reports de-
scribe both wholesale and retail trade
as "spotty," but with an evident inn
provement over the conditions a few
months back.
From the figures available in recent
months, it is clear that fundamental
conditions are much better and there
is every reason to expect business to
improve steadily, although perhaps
slowly. With world conditions as they
are today there is no likelihood of an
immediate boom movement. Recon-
struction in Europe is far behind what
it is in this country, and, in general,
big economic movements are world
wide in their scope.
Foreign trade slumped in April after
its recent advances, according to re-
ports issued by the commerce depart
ment. Exports for the month ag-
gregated $321,0OOOOO compared with
$3.50, 100000 in March, and imports
totaled $217OO0OOO against $256,0O0,-
900 the previous month.
Exports during April were the low
est for any month of the current fiscal
year, and about $l9,00O,OO0 less than
the same month year ago, while i'm
ports for April, were the lowest since
February, when the total was ap-
proximately the same, and were ap.
proximately $37,0O0,OOO less than the
same month last year.

sections of the country. Since the
opening of the year the item "other
loans of reporting member banks,
which are largely of a commercial
character, has decreased in all dist
riots except No. 4 (Cleveland,) where
the reverse is true, and No. L (Boston)
and No. 3 (Philadelphia) where it is
substantially unchanged. The spec
ial agricultural demands at this sea-
son of the year have not affected
markedly the loans Off eporting men,
Der banks (Which, however, are 10
Gated in the larger cities,) and the
March l settlements generally passed
with out embarrassment, in spite of
the heavy payments required"
The principal effect of seasonal de-
mands in the agricultural districts has
been upon the volume of accomoda-
ton obtained from the federal reserve
banks. Since the first of the year,
the reporting member banks as a
whole have been able to reduce this
figure almost 6 per cent, from $647,-
100000 to $267, 100000. Reduction has
been especially pronounced in the mid
die western districts of Chicago, St.
Louis, Minneapolis, and Kansas City,
rs we'll as in the Atlanta district.
Average reductions are reported from
the New oYrk, Philadelphia, and Dali
las districts, while Boston, Cleveland,
Richmond, and especially San Fran
cisco show reductions considerably
below the average. For the past
month or so, however, most of the
agricultural Districts have substan-
tally increased their borrowing from
the federal reserve banks, although
the total is still very small.

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace

had satisfactory cooperation from
the packers and from the owners
of stockyards. Now that the SUI

Middletown's New Band

Years ago Middetown had a fine
band widely known as the best for
many miles around. Are the young
men of our town and vicinity less tai
ented, less musical than those ot other
years The Scribe does not think so,
and no doubt this is the general opinion.
Therefore, he halls with much satisfac,
tion a movement now being made by a
number of our young men to organize
another town band.
They wish through The Transcript to
announce that meeting for this par
pose will be held on Monday evening
next in the Transcript upper room,
and all young men favorable to such an
organization are requested to be pres.
ent and give their help.
This is an excellent move and ne
doubt will be eptirely successful, if oui
young gentlemen lend their hearty CO
operation. So the public may conf
IDENTIFY expect to see the former higt
repute and musical fame of Middletowr
in the olden days, delightfully."- revived

The honor roll as published each
month by the Middletown Schools is
based on three cardinal points, good
conduct, or department, and an average
grade in all subjects of not less than B.
Most of the pupils are to be compli-
mented upon their good and perfect
attendance records thus far. Most of
them are to be commended for their
conduct? Quite number need to
strive to do better quality of work
1t may be that some do not know how
to study to best advantage. The teach
ers are anxious to do all they can tc
assist and encourage all pupils to do the
very best work possible.
Parents should feel free to take uT
any point relative to pupils work, de
pertinent, or anything that will likely
result in better work for the pupil.
