 Not Fill Vacancy Soon

DAYTONA, Fla, March 23.-Presi- dent Harding and his vacation party tonight neared the end of the house boat cruise which has covered IS days and approximately 600 miles.
 Tomorrow the President and Mrs Harding and the other members of the party will arrive in St. Augustine and transfer their vacation home from the houseboat Pioneer to the Hotel Ponce De Leon.

 The Pioneer was anchored tonight about midway between Daytona. and St. Augustine, and is expected to reach the latter city some time after noon tomorrow, probably in time to allow the presidential foursome to try out one of the golf courses there,
 On learning today of the death of Milo D. Campbell. recently appointed member of the federal reserve board, Mr. Harding sent a message of con- dolence to Mrs. Campbell. It was stated authoritatively that the va caney on the board would not be filled until the President returns to Wash gtou.

pricked the bubble when business activity was at it's height and when the people still had plenty of money. 1t was only when credit expansion had gone beyond the limit of safety and when a money panic threatened that the board sought authority from Congress which was readily granted, to make use of grad Lated redlscount rate.
 Used only In Extremes.
 As matter of fact, this was made use of only in extreme cases and then only with the greatest reluctance The people had been spending war earnings and in due course these gave out Manufacturers had tC stop manufacturing. Unemployment set in but retailers were reluctant to take their losses and the people hav- ing no more money to spend and with unemployment facing them, in- augurated the famous buyers strike.
 It Is necessary to paint this back ground so as to arrive at clearer understanding of present conditions. We have since acquired larger held ings of gold with greater potential credit possibilities. It is not, there fore, that we are running to the limit four credit supply but whether we are making proper use of 1t.
 We would have considerable dis tanee to go tc bring our loans up to the high level of the imitation of 1920. On May 14 of that year the reserve ratio was down to 4O.5 per cent while 1t is now at 75.7 per cent. On December 3, 1920, the rediscounts based on other than government col lateral amounted to the huge total Of sl,616,116,000 with almost as much loaned on government collateral and could we'll send a shiver down the backs of the banking community. This weeks statement shows the to- tai of bills discounted on other than government obligations as $351, ,S61,- 900. Our gold reserves are new just over s3.OOO, 900 as compared with S2,000. 100000 in 1920. Thus it will be seen that we are far from being in a
 delicate position we were in when the collapse came while the basis of our prosperity is permanent improve ment rather than luxuries.
 The main point to be considered, however, is whether the country has reached its maximum producing ca pacity. This depends upon the labor supply which seems to be exhausted, upon labor's willingness to work which is below normal and upon the transportation facilities which are about at their maximum. The ten- dency of wages is once moro upward and we are in consequence, rendering upon an era of higher production costs This means higher prices to the consumer but there is no evil dence of resistance as yet because unemplC yment has disappeared and the buying power exists. The first sign of reaction will be accumula- . tions of retail stocks which are not visible as yet.

CLAIM OIL IN ALABAMA
GeoIogists, However, Do Not Give
 Definite Location

SHREVEPORT, La, March 23.-Oil and gas in paying quantities will be found in Mississippi and Alabama, where oil has been encountered in the northwestern part of the state the need is for someone to drill a well in the southern part of the state, correctly located, to determine the potentialities there. speakers de- clared at last nights session here of the American Association of Petro- leum Geologists' convention.
 R. E. Morse of the Mississippi A, & M., a nationally known geologist, who discussed the possibilities in Mississippi. said A wells had been drilled in that state and that oil and gas showings had been encountered in some of them a t various depths Seven other wells are now being put down.
 Dr. G. l.

Some gas had been encountered. he declared.

MARKET STRENGTH. REFLECTS GEM NE ERAL BOOM IN BUSINESS
Expert Sees Little Basis for
 Any Note of De-
By WALTER B. BROWN Editor New York Commercial. Spe- CIal DiSnafch Tn The AEe. Herald.


 NEW YORK, March 23.-Persistent strength in the stock market is q reflection of the activity in general business induced by the industrial loom. After the severe depression of 1920 We are inclined to be little doubtful of our good fortune and to wonder whether it is really true or whether it can continue. We are beginning to hear talk of the boom being too heavy, of our at least be- ing on the threshold of secondary imitation and so forth. The attitude of the federal reserve banks in re- gard to the rediscount rate Is being carefully watched, all of which are good signs because they indicate that we are on our guard.
 But we are not likely to have a repetition of the collapse of 1920. even if more or less imitation should develop. In the nature of things. we cannot avoid it entirely but the fact that we are now willing to be on our guard whereas in 1920 we re- fused to listen, will serve to hold it fairly in check.

MATERIAL DROP IN WHEAT AS EXPORT
 DEMAND WEAKENS

CHICAGO, March 23.-Wlth wheat arriving from Omaha to go into stor- age here, and export demand less ac- tive. wheat today underwent ma terial decline in price. The close was unsettled. 7s to 1ssc net lower, May s1.2oSs to S1.207s and July $1.155s to $1.1524. Corn lost 14 to ssc. oats ss to l2c, and provisions D to 17c.
 Liquidating sales In the wheat market, although amounting to only a moderate total. were ascribed at least in part to likelihood that de- liveries on May contracts might as sumo larger proportions than has been expected. Altogether 52' ss-v bushels of wheat have been put lnto storage in Chicago within the last few days A consequent tendency to- ward lower values was further em- phasized today by a little downturn in quotations at Liverpool and by estimates that export business today was small.
 On the declines, commission houses gave wheat fair support and there also was a little buying for eastern interests, presumably leading shorts. This buying brought abou~a rally near the close. Continued falling off in domestic receipts at primary ter minals counted as encourag cement for the bulls.
 Corn and oats weakened with wheat, notwithstanding that other cities were outbidding Chicago for rural supplies of corn.
 In the provision market, the etfect of higher quotations on hogs ap- peared to be more than counterbal- anced by selling on foreign account.
