BUSINESS CONDITIONS
DURING PAST WEEK

NEW YORK. June 16-While re-
fail business showed continued ex-
pansion during the past week. most
trends showed diminished buying IN
urinary channels, according to the
weekly reports. Dun's Review says
these are seasonal phases and 40
not mark any unusual or unexpected
change in the general situation.
"Ciose observers" the paper con
tinues, had not anticipated that
the noteworthy industrial expansion
of the first quarter would continue
indefinitely, or hat the rise OF prices
woula go on unchecked, and the re-
cent slowing down with reaction in
prices. has not been surprising.
CHIEF interest now centres IN the
probable course Of events after the
summer. There is a disposition to
await a clearer insight into the fu-
ture. This attitude is reflected by
increased conservatism in placing
advance orders as well as by the
policy of avoiding burdensome &C
foundations of merchandise.
THE probabilities are that pro-
will recede somewhat durlns
the summer from purely natural
causes, and the present situation,
except In the retail field. is clearly
married by abatement Of demand
Bradstreet's says:
THE situation is still spotty, with
the trend cautious, although a big
business is evidently going forward
on old account. Weather Irregular
tiles have restricted retail trade. and
wholesale buying in many ines tof
the future still lacks definite form,
while industrial activities have con-
tinued at an active pace, thus eat
ing into piled up orders.
AN excess of rain tends to re-
tard definite measurement of the
crop situation, and especially clouds
the outlook for winter wheat and
cotton. Rains. however, have bene-
flied crops from the Carolinas
north to Pennsylvania. in the old
spring wheat Northwest and in the
north Pacific states, where boun-
teous crops of wheat and fruit are
apparently assured.
diverse trends are noted In the
leading speculative markets, and the
price movement alike for securities
ard staples is irregular, with nos
changes downward. The European
outlook for American grain is ap-
~parently less satisfactory with pros
poets in wheat of sharp competi-
tor from Canada, and other
tries

COPPER ASSOCIATION
ENDS EXPORT WORK

NEW YORK, June 16-The Cop
per Export Association, which was
organized in 1921 to handle exports
of copper metal for local producers,
has sold all of the 400, 600. 600
pounds of metal marked for export
at that time. The association, it is
said, will continue to handle the ex-
port business for the larger Ameri-
can producers, despite the liquida-
ton Of the amount mentioned.
The association was organized at a
time when the trade in metal for
overseas and domestic account was
at a low ebb. The larger companies
continued production despite the
falling off in business, and as a re-
suit stocks in large quantities be-
gan to accumulate in this country.
Foreign business was not taking its
usual amount of copper, and do
nestle buyers were not interested
because of the general falling off in
business. To lift a heavy load from
the market producers formed the as
ISOLATION.
The copper was pledged by produ-
GERS at 10 cents a pound, and $40
900, 900 Of notes were issued by the
association, with the copper Is col
lateral.
The improvement in the copper
industry in the last year, both de-
nestle and foreign, has changed the
situation and has brought about a
liquidation of not only the copper
marked for export, but also a large
quantity stored in this country dur
ing recent years.

SCHENECTADY, June lire
cent brokerage failures have tended
to emphasize once more the continu-
al loss suffered by the investing pub
lie. Losses from unsound practices
in brokerage concerns can be over
come by proper regulation. Losses
from investment in poor securities
cease, however, only when the in
vestor becomes more skillful in the
selection of his securities. Roger
W. Babson says that the investor
needs the spirit of service.
THE reason people lose money on
many of their investments is due to
the fact that they select them with
an eye only to possible profits with
out considering the service render
ed" says Mr.. Babson. IF you will
be sure instead, to put your. money
where it will render a service. profits
will come almost automatically. /
have just been visiting the sites of
some proposed water power develop
ments in the Adirondacks and water
power to me, constitutes the most
fascinating field for sound investment
I'm New York State alone there
is 1000, 600 horse power available
which Is now going to waste. The
development of this idle water pow
er would, in a year, save in coal
the equivalent OF a train of loaded
coal cars extending from the Allan
tic to the Pacific and back again.
The Panama Canal was ten years
in building. During this time the
available water power wasted in New
York State would have been sufic-
lent, translated into dollars to have
built five Panama Canals. This is
figuring a horse power worth $4,000
a year.
Someone has figured this waste
in terms of bread and found 1t equiv
alent to 4,250,0 900 loaves of bread
a day. Thus when this waste in one
state of New York alone is trans
lated into commodities it is found
to be sufficient to supply the bread
requirements of that entire state.
When you consider that the popu-
lation of this state is nearly one
tenth the population of the United
States, you gain some idea. of how
enormous this waste is; a waste
which needs only capital and Gov
eminent cooperation to develop for

STEEL SITUATION

The increased rate at which some
steel mills are shipping contract
material to their customers is the
significant feature of the present
situation, according to "The Iron
Age this week. On the other hand,
it is pointed out there are cases Of
reduced production due to loss OF
labor and weather conditions.
THE industry as a whole" says
this publication, lis making a little
less steel. the Steel Corporation s
operations being at 3 to 4 per cent
under its record rate of early May
The moderate reduction of 100000
tons in the Steel Corporations I'M
filed orders last month is another
index of the great volume of current
steel consumption.
Railroad construction work and
eduipment are still counted on as
the largest factor in steel works OPP
Grafton for the third quarter of the
year and later. However, there has
been a halt In car orders and with 1t

roads that present prices Of the a

RAILROADS PLAN FOR
RECORD BREAKING TRAFFIC

WASHINGTON, June is - Rail-
roads anticipating a tremendous
movement of food products and fuel
traffic during the fall months are
now taking unprecedented steps to
prepare themselves.
According to records of the Amer
lean Railway Association, between
April 16 and June s, 41,000 empty
box cars were turned over by eastern
railroads to western lines and are
being parked on side tracks through
out the cereal belts.
Railroads are nov sending approx
imately 1000 empty cars a day
through Chicago and st. Louis, and
the car service division of the Rail
way Association has ordered this
number to be increased to 1850 cars
a day on and after June Is.
Steady purchasing of new equip
ment for the anticipated traffic needs
has enabled railroads to get into
service between Jan. 1 and June l,
according to the service lewiston
6 1860 new freight cars, while 1O7,-
079 are in process of manufacture.

High Cost of Loafng

Low production, not high wages,
has debased the dollar. Money can't
deliver more than it receives. Not
until labor appreciates the high cost
of loafng shall we properly handle
the high cost of living.
Every hour cut from a normal
working schedule proportionately in
creases the burden of overhead on
the unit of production.
The interest table doesn't quit on
the whistle; a forty-four-hour week
adds twelve per cent to the rem &C
count, means two hundred and eight
more idle hours a year for the plant,
subtracts two hundred and eight
hours annual use from factory
equipment and throws a heavier tax
load on a reduced output.
This lost time and expense must
be figured, with all charges incidental
to distribution, in the ultimate pur-
chaser's sales check.
No matter how much is obtained
from the employer, each raise is
promptly offset by absorbing read
justments in other lines. Every
body's doing it, and nobody's bene-
filing.
We are like a lot of South Sea
cannibals who, instead OF increasing
their yields, prefer to prey upon
each other.
Labor declares war on capital.
capital retaliates upon labor; the
farmer caught between, joins the
melee and when the battle royal is
over, everybody is battered n no
one is bettered.
Recent strikes and disorders are
not passing twinges, but signals OF
deep-seated community misunder-
standings, only to be temporarily al
leviated by hasty liniments and
reckless anodynes.
Our economic muddle will persist
until enough people understand the
laws of barter and appreciate that
money is nothing more than a con-
yenient symbol representing an ex-
change of goods and service-that
when we give less goods and less
service, money is worth just that
much less.
A dollar eve works harder tnan
the man who made it.

COAL OUTLOOK

PHILADELPHIA, June 16-
Shipments of anthracite for the
month of May, as reported to the
Anthracite Bureau of Information
and announced today. amounted to
6,564,2S5 gross tons. an increase Of
770,390 tons compared with May,
1921. The hard coal mines were
no. in operation in May, 1922, due to
the strike.
The shipment of prepared sizes
last month. according to the An
thracite Bureau of Information,
established a record for May and
was only approached during the
month of May in the war years of
1917 and 1918, when the maximum
production was reached.
The demand for anthracite is ex-
ceedingly heavy at present, because
of householders desiring to stock up
for the winter and avoid last win
ter's experience due to the long
strike of last summer. Because Of
the great demand the retail delivery
of stove-size Goa is exceedingly
slow.

society itself.
Loyalty in business is evidenced
by a mans becoming a real part Of
the organization with which he is
connected; by his being fair and
square in all of his dealings with his
associates; and by his exerting a
whole-hearted effort toward the gem
eral success.
The loyal worker is the man who

ton, because he knows that his well
fare is bound up in the success Of
the business.
The loyal employer IS the one

The dishonest man cannot be

The grumbler cannot be loyal, for

The unfaithful man cannot be

Business Situation

the sarvice of man..
Water powers are a comparatively
permanent investment. In the case
of railroads and even steam power
plants, there is a high rate of de-
probation. If this depreciation is
allowed to continue, the efficiency OF
operation is greatly reduced. In a
water power plant the depreciation
is a comparatively small item. Water
power plants are almost independ-
ent of the fluctuations in the labor
and commodity markets. This means
that when profitable rates are once
fixed by the company or a state
commission, the profits are not liable
to be absorbed by an increase in
either wage or commodity prices.
OF course, there are a few other lines
of business which offer a similar
advantage but they also enjoy this
advantage owing to the service which
they render.
There is a constantly increasing
demand for household electrical APP
planes, and an increasing number
Of homes are availing themselves of
the conveniences of electricity. Fur
Their, more and more factories and
mills are being electrically equipped.
in place of steam driven. This all
means that the use of electricity is
constantly increasing. Here is a
resource which nature has given us.
1t needs but capital and legislation
to put it to the service of man. By
its development and use millions of
homes will be brighter and the work
of millions of housewives easier.
Scores of communities will be clean
err and more healthy as electric
power is used in place of coal. Thus,
in water powers, invested capital
can be of real service, and in the
measure that it serves, it will profit.
Business is still holding up de-
spite the pessimistic views of GER
tain stock market operators. The

business is normal today-not over
expanded nor depressed. Those who

scalping commissions have nothing

COPPER SITUATION

NEW YORK, June 16:-Leading
producers Of copper metal are quot
ing and selling copper at 15Ac. a
pound and have taken business for
shipment in September. One or two
of the smaller interests are quoting
at 1910. on odd lots, but offerings
at that price are very limited. The
demand is larger than 1t has been
for some time.
During the last forty-eight hours
actual sales for foreign and domestic
account have amounted to at least
8 5000, 900 pounds and many large
inquiries are still pending. Since
the buying movement began it is
estimated that sales have been be-
tween 100000 900 and $4,000. 000.
