a MR. ALBERT REDMAYNE slept
M well, but the morning found
him very depressed. He was
frightened and awe-sIrfcKen. He de-
tested Crows Nest and the melancholy
murmur of the sea. He showed the
keenest desire to return home at the
earliest opportunity and was exceed
ingly nervous after dark.
"Oh. that Peter Cams were here"'
he exclaimed again and again, as a
comment to every incident unfolded
by Brendon or Jenny, and then. when
she asked him if 1t might be possible
TO summon Peter Cams, Mr.. Red
mayne explained that he was an
American beyond their reach at pres
ent.
Mr.. Cams" he said. sis my best
friend in the world-save and except
ing one man only. He-my first and
most precious intimate at Bel
lagio, on the opposite side of Lake
Como from myself. Signor Virgilio
Poggi is a bibnophile of European
eminence and the most brilliant of
men-a great genius and my dearest
associate for twenty-five years. But
Peter Cams also is a very astound-
ing persona detective officer by pro-
fession.
81 myself lack that intimate knowl-
edge of character which is his native
gift. Books know better than men,
and It was my peculiar acquaintance
with books that brought Cams and
me together in New York There
served him well in an amazing police
case and aided him to prove crime
the discovery of which turned upon
a certain paper manufactured for the
Medici But a greater thing than
this criminal incident sprang from 1t;
and that is my friendship for the won
derful Peter"

Most favorable trade indications for
1924 are shown by car loadings. build
ing statistics and employment figures,
while the least favorable indications
are found in the reports OF the iron
and steel industry, in the widespread
reports of large inventories and in
the prolonged decline of exports. Prof
Charles o. Hardy of the University of
Iowa told the American Statistical
Association, meeting at the New Will
lard Hotel today. A joint session was
held with the American Economic AS
sociation. the American Farm Eco

Business activity, Mr.. Hardy said,
is sIill slightly above normal. but de-
clining, adding that in the absence of
very favorable or unfayorable de-
velopments in Europe the outlook is
for continuation of the decline
through the spring.
Without settlement of the Franco
German issue and improvement of
fiscal and monetary conditions, he
continued, no large revival of our eX-

MEAT PRODUCTION
|. SMASHES RECORDS.
Increase Largely Due to Pork
Supplies-Most Prices
Lowest for Decade.

Production of meat this year was
the greatest In history, exceeding
last years figures by one and a half
billion pounds, according to estimates
by the Institute of American Meat
Packers. A big Jump In pork produe-
ton was largely responsible for the
increase, 100000 more hogs being
bought by the packers than in 1922.
Charles A. Herrick, president OF
the institute, said virtually all of the
increased production had moved into
consumption, either here or abroad.
Despite the uncertain element in the
European situation, he added. the
meat export trade during the year
was satisfactory in volume. 80 per
shipped than in 1922, although be-
cause of lower prices the value was
only 90 per cent greater.
Live stock producers. Mr.: Herrick
said, received more for the cattle,
sheep and lambs than they did ten
year ago, but, in keeping with lower
prices of pork products, price for
hogs were lower.
Wholesale meat prices, he asserted,
were the lowest of decade or more
Declines from peak prices. he de-
clared, ranged from 20 per cent to
more than 10 per cent. He placed the
decline for pork loins at II per cent
as compared with peak prices during
the postwar period.
"Other meats" he said, "also are
selling at relatively low levels Beer
prices are somewhat hi CHER than they
beef from cows, which is selling be-
low the 1918 market. Good veal is
wholesaling about 20 per cent lower
than 1t was ten years ago.

BASIC INDUSTRIES
CURTAIL OUTPUT
Reserve Board Also Reports De.
crease in Employment and
Price Recessions.

Advent of cold weather has worked
to decrease production and employ
ment slightly in basic industries of
the country, according to a review
of business conditions made by the
Federal Reserve Board. The boards
report showed. however, that the de-
crease did not exceed 2 per cent in
production and per cent in employ
ment.
Distribution of merchandise by
wholesalers and retailers has been
somewhat less active than in a few
months prior to November 1, the
board said, with wholesale prices
showing a. slight further recession.
The agricultural industry, with its
larger crops in wheat, hay and gen.
eral farm products. appeared to be in
an tmpoved condition.
Railroad freight shipments in No
vember showed about the usual sea-
sonal decline from October, the re-
port sadd. although November move
ments were heavier than in previous
years.
The total volume of credit extend
ed by member banks In leading cities
showed but little change between the
middle of November and the middle
of December, the board reported.
There was a seasonal reduction in
commercial and agricultural loans In
most districts, but this was offset
by increased loans on securities.

ROADS MUST CUT
PASSENGER FARES
I. C. c. Orders Rate Changes in
Three Western States, Follow
ing Complaints.

Railroads traversing Arizona, Ne
vada and New Mexico must cease
charging by February % passenger
fares at rates in excess of 3.S cents
per mile on their main lines. the In
terstate Commerce Commission ruled
today.
Complaints brought by the three
states were supported in part by the
commission in finding that the rail-
roads must reduce mainline pasSen-
ger fares to the level which exists
generally in other parts Of the coun-
try.
The Grand Canyon railway as a
whole and the branch lines of the
Southern Pacific, Santa Fe. Rock
Island, Western Pacific and other
roads traversing the southeastern
territory will be allowed to charge
rates as they stand. which in some
instances range as high as SO cents

NEW YORK. December 27.---It was
another day of activity on the Curb
Market. but the price movement was
a good deal mixed. The sharp ad-
vance'of Wednesday naturally result

heavy selling of the oils. The losses,

sorbed. the market hardened again.
