Reports From Various Depart

Strides Despite Strikes.
Nv unixerrai service.

: Statements today from the OFFICES
of Secretary of Commerce Hoover
and Postmaster General Work com.
bine to show that business pros
perity in the United States Is march
ing steadily onward despite indus
trial disturbances. .....
The Hoover statement shows that
production Is on a higher plane than
at this time last year, and Works
figures on postal receipts indicate
increased business. The Secretary
of Commerce says. in part:
mo clearer demonstration could
be asked to indicate the soundness
of the fundamental conditions under
lying the present business revival
than the persistence with which
commerce and industry have
progressed in the face Of recent
serious obstacles.
''The extremely serious difficulties
through which we are now passing
would under many conditions have
completely demoralized business;
instead. real progress continues to
be made. There is reason to sup
pose that the economic losses occa-
stoned by the coal and railroad
strikes will make themselves felt for
some months to come.
Disturbances of this character
affecting basic industries cannot
take place without having to be paid
for In the long run. 1t is possible
that the full force of these losses
will be felt more severely in future
months A-.. F.
The extent of the zeal progress
OF industry on the road back to nor.
NAL is seen when current figures
are compared with those for a year
ago. In almost every instance pro.
duction Is on a higher level than In
1921. Perhaps the most favorable
feature OF the present situation Is
the prospect for a bountiful harvest
this fall This will do much to off.
set the other less favorable features. "
The Postmaster Generals state.
ment says, In part:
Despite existing industrial dis.
turbances, postal receipts in fifty in.
dustrial cities showed an aver.
age increase Of nearly s per cent for
August over the same month last
year. IS
THE percentage Of increase was
7.96, as compared with an increase
Of 10.45 for July. over July a year

CONTINUES ON.

BuIIish Sentiment Prevails In
Short Session, Especially
at Opening.
By w. 8. COUSINS.

Dy SSSoAANSs
copyright. 1922. by Cosmopolitan News
Service.)
NEW YORK, Sept. s.-Bullish
sentiment prevailed in the stock
market in the short session today.
especially at and Immediately after
the opening. The street paid little
attention to the abandonment OF
the shopmen's strike settlement ne
gotiations, which presumably are
to be followed by attempts to secure
separate peace" on the various
lines.
The steady decrease in idle cars
and the fact that the roads were
able to show net earnings Of over
per cent in July despite labor
troubles, combined with the gradual
seepage of shopmen back to their
Jobs, made a favorable background
from which to view the prospects
for the railroad stocks. In this
connection 1t should be noted that
the Pennsylvania railroad had sS.4
per cent of it's normal shop forces
reporting for duty today.
AS on the previous days OF this
week attention in the speculative
district was directed chiefly to the
railroad and industrial stocks, In
which groups the higher priced Is
sues Continued their spectacular
progress into new high price terri
tory. Union Pacific sold up to 153,
Atlantic Coast Line added over AZ
points at 124; Baldwin added further
to it's rise. Quite a few OF the
lower priced rails were also in de
mand, and Western Maryland sec
ond preferred topped all Of Its
previous price records, while st
Paul, Rock Island, New Haven and
Pennsylvania were active at frac
tionalfy higher prices. -
Industrials and specialties furnish
ed a number of the spectacular fca'
lures of the short session. Postum
Cereal reached a new record level al
1914: Chicago Pneumatic Tool du'
plicated its high at S9h: Mallinson
was active at about Q points above
Yesterdays low; Iron Products reach
ed new high grounds at 39h, up
4 points; Retails Stores sold In
blocks around IS. Hupp Motor was
the most prominent of the low priced
motor stocks, advancing III to 21,
while for the shipping stocks, Ameri'
can Ship and Commerce was unusual
ly active around 1871.
Copper stocks continued In good
form, and all offerings were well ab'
sorbed at better prices. The steel
stocks, on the other hand, were
slightly reactionary. for while United
States Steel sold fractionally higher
Republic, Crucible, and Varadiunl
were lower, and Lackawanna sold
about 1 point higher. Oil stocks
were never prominent, though the
volume Of business at current levels
was fair.
Slightly higher prices prevailed for
Liberty bonds today. and dealings
In the bond market were featured by
strength and activity of a number oi
railroad and industrial issues. Re
flecting the advance Of their stocks
on the Stock Exchange, bonds of the
st. Paul, Erie, Union Pacific, Nor
folk and Western, Great Northern
and Baltimore and Ohio sold at the
best range Of prices in a week OF
more.
