DUN'S review SUMS UP
BUSINESS CONDITIONS

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 19.-Dun's Re-
view today says:
In commercial channels, as in
speculative markets, an undercurrent
of uncertainty is now manifest. There
seems to be more doubt about the
probable course of prices of commodi-
ties, and there also is more question
ing as to the future of business gen.
orally The developments of recent
weeks have shown plainly enough
that activities in different quarters
are abating. and Dun's list OF whole
sale quotations has reflected the re-
versal Of the price movement
The diminution of demand, how
ever, has only come after a period of
notably heavy purchasing, with new
records attained in various instances,
and there Is a divided opinion as to
the real significance of the present
change. Close observers of conditions
do not overlook the fact that many
requirements already have been
covered for some time ahead, thus
leaving less incentive for buyers to
make additional commitments, and
the rise of Is per cent in commodity
prices in the last year likewise is
being considered.

Special Dispatch to The Star. :
. NEW YORK, May 1s.-What is
known as Wall street sentiment
meaning by this the superficial opln-
ion expressed by habitual traders
who are interested in lamentations
and not in values. is seldom right
In the end. 1t was enthusiastically
optimistic regarding the business
outlook and the possibilities OF ad-
.vancing prices when the stock mar
ket was at it's top in March. 1t has
been just as violently pessimistfc
during the operation OF the last two
weeks with prices down on the aver
age some eleven to twelve points.
There is no ground for saying that
the bear" propaganda of the last
month or more has really aimed at
putting a stop to the growth of the
nations business and bringing about
another period of depression. But 1t
is fair to say that II the reckless
talk which has been going about In
speculative circles and has been re-
hected to an extent in the stock
market were to be taken seriously
in the business world, It might have
serious consequences.
No Credit Overstrain.
In the first place, there has been
no credit overstrain. Taking private
bank loans and federal reserve re-
discounts together. the total increase
during all the business expansion
since the first of the year has been
only some $130.000.000. At the peak
in 1920. reserve banks were holding
in discounted bills over $2,000.000, 900:
today they are holding less than
&700, 00O.0 900.
In the second place. merchants and
manufacturers are not overstocked
with high priced goods. They have
a much freer supply available for
current use than they had two months
ago, but this does not mean that they
are going to stop buying in a manner
such as to cause a sudden and
radical shrinkage in the volume Of
consumption.
Thirdly. there is the question Of
manufacturing costs. especially the
wage question. At the height of the
excitement in March, when stocks
we're going up by leaps and bounds
and the most extravagant predictions
were being made about the extent OF
the trade BOOM" 1t was pointed out
in these articles that mounting costs
of production were the rock upon
which all these enthusiastic calcula
lions were likely to split.

right where he was for some time
after Mother Bear had disappeared.
Then curiosity got the better Of him.
He wanted to go over to that old
home. II guess 1t Is safe enough now
that she has gone." thought Boxer,
and quietly stole out from behind the
pile of brush. He felt a little pam
icky as he approached the old wind
fall and he looked behind him with
every step. When he reached the
entrance he shifted. and. Of course, he
smelled the scent of Mother Bear. He
was tempted to go in under that old
windfall just to see the place where
he and Wool Wool had lived when
they were little cubs, but he didn't
quite dare to.
Again he shifted rather noisily and
was tempted to go In under that old
windfall. And there came most
surprising sound. It was a little
whimpering cry. Then there was
another just like 1t. Boxer was so
astonished that he held his breath.
There were babies in under that
windfaN! Yes. sir. there were babies
under that windfall!

This will be the outstanding point
of the new German memorandum

The contents of the memorandum,

Commission Is Urged.
The German government takes the
stand that, in its last note, it offered
the largest reparation sum that il
is able to fill, in good conscience. as
this sum was fixed after a horofugh-
going estimate made by experts.
Furthermore. Germany in its last
note tuggested that a commission
of unprejudiced experts give It's
opinion on Germany's capacity 90

peats this suggestion. and declares
it is ready to submit all the necessary
material to such a commission.
