RUM SYNDICATE GETS
LIONS SHARE PROFITS
Powerful Interests IN Canada
Controls Available Supply of
Beer and Liquor

DETROIT, July 10. - Certain
powerful interests control the
available supply Of beer and liquor
on the Canadian side and the big
money is made there, according to
the rum runners who operate the
tiny boats which chug across the
river here with their cargoes OF
Illicit beverages.
According to these operations,
this syndicate" or System" as
it is termed, sell at prices which
permit the runners and American
bootleggers q comparatively small
margin of profit.
Thus, say these runners, the
huge profits in the rum running
business across the Detroit river
are d thing of the past. Large prof
its, they maintain, still are being
taken in the liquor smuggling traf-
fic, but the business has progress
ed and been systematized until
only those who control the traffic
and crack the whip over the rum
running fleets reap the golden
harvests.
The free and easy ways OF the
days shortly after prohibition be
acme effective, say the runners
are gone. System has come in, I'M
til now it is impossible for a free
lance runner to obtain supplies on
the Canadian side unless he buys
them from what amounts virtually
to a closed syndicate, according
to these operatives.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-It has been
widely announced that the number of
business failures in January was very
great and this is bad sign.
Study Of the facts shows figures do
not lead to pesslsmistic conclusions.
Each year failures increase in De
Cember and reach a seasonal min
imum in January. These are the
months in which business troubles
generally come TO a head.
More than this. the number of bust
ness firms constantly Is increasing
and naturally the total number Of
failures will constantly increase even
though the percentage of failures re-
mains constant
2,126 Failures tn Month
In January this year there were
2,126 failures. It has been noted this
is the first time failures have crossed
the 1000 mark since last April
l have estimated the normal num-
Der of failures in January would have
teen L722, which figure allows for
the normal increase in total number
Of firms and the usual swelling of
the failure crop in January. Thus.
the excess over the normal number
for January was only 404.
The point to be emphasized is this:
The small excess over the normal num-
Der With the exception of last De-
cember It IS the smallest excess Of
failures over normal since September,
1921.
Thus the number OF business fall

business conditions, really shows i'm

Demand For Stetl Is
 Actiue During Week

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The de- mand for steel continues very ac- tive and prices during the week have shown a hardening tendency with quot ations up to last years high levels Producers are showing some hesitation about booking orders for the second quarter and more or less nervousness is being expressed over the situation because of recent rapid advances. Pig iron is steady but with demand less active as buyers fear reaction on account of more favorable fuel conditions.
 Copper has been firm but only a moderate demand for domestic con sumption and it is reported that the large wire drawers and brass mills. in particular are pretty well covered for the next 60 days. A little better export business was reported, how ever and with offerings light, prices have been fully maintained. Exports to France since the beginning of the month are estimated at over S,000,00 pounds.
 Tin has ruled firm and due to the anticipation of large consuming demand throughout the year and the better tone in London.
 Lead remains strong, although the larger consumers are believed to have anticipated requirements for the time being.
