.SCORESOF USES
FOR ELECTRICITY
BEING DISCOVERED
Local Concern Builds Super
Power Plant to Serve
Public Need.

An electrical survey recently made
shows that up until the beginning of
1923 only 6.5. per cent of the world s
population had at It's command the
luxury of electricity. Among the ma
tons, the United States stands first in
the actual number Of people who use
it, and even hare only S6.5 per cent
live in electrically lighted homes.
One can readily realize from these
figures thatsthe field is capable Of In
finite expansion. The millions OF
homes which do not yet know its ad.
vantages are yet to be supplied. These,
and the many more in which electric
ity means Only electric lighting. have
stil to learn the endless possibilities
of the servant Of man.
1t has already been adapted to the
performance of the heaviest of house
hold tasks. to innumerable businesses
of the farm and countless other duties.
But all this invention and ingenuity
would be meaningless without the i'm.
mense enterprises which make a bust
ness OF. converting vast natural re
sources into the electric power needed
IN home and industry.
An example of the progress In this
field Is represented by the develop
ments being made by the Indiana Eleo
trio Corporation, owned by the Central
Indiana Power Company. which is
building on 5,a1g- acre coal nelQ on
the BANKS ~ the Wabash River a SUI
per-power plant with an eventual gen
Grating capacity OF 100000 ldIowatts
Not the least important feature OF
this development is that much of It
is being achieved by the investment
OF the cornpany's customers. employees
and general public. This Is the high.
ly desirable plan known as customer
ownership, by means of which those
who actually buy the company's serv-
Ice have the profits returned to them.

OFFERS MUCH TO
Be THANKFUL FOR
Haney Declares September
Showing Indicates Steady
Return to Normal.
BY LEWIS H. HANEY,
lrector Of the Bureau Of Business

Director of the Bureau Of Business
Research, New York University.
NEW YORK, Oct. s.-As we end
the first week in October and look
back over the critical month of Sep
TENDER there Is much to be thankful
for.
In several important respects the
domestic world Is more nearly nor
NAL than at any time in the last ten
years. With the general level of
wholesale prices firm or rising, with
such important Indications as a reduc-
ton IN the number of business fail
ures and with montey rates normal, it
seems safe to say that stable business
conditions are in prospect for the re-
mainder Of the year and that the out
look Is for an upswing in business
early in 1924.
Prices Hold Firm
In the first place after a long de-
cline the general level OF prices has
held firm for the second month in
succession. In fact, during Septem-
Der there was an average advance In
wholesale prices OF about 1.8 per
cent. This condition promises to lend
assurance 20 business and should en-
courage forward buying.
I would particularly call attention
to the higher general level Of agri-
cultural prices. Breadstuffs advanced
about per cent during September
and the provision group has also went
up. With wheat at SI.Os at Chicago
even the wheat farmer can feel lit
tie more hopeful.
The country is to be congratulated
on the fact that the President Is deal.
ing so wisely with the various unwise
proposals made to laid" the wheat
farmers.
In the third place the more favor
able showing made by the statistics
business failures deserves a leading
place in the present outlook. This is
not only the smallest number for any
month since November OF 1920, but
It is only a little more than the num-
Der which is normal for the month.
Another indication OF sound bust
ness conditions is the interest rate.
Taking the rate on prime commercial
paper as most representative, we ind
that It Ia almost exactly normal. AZ
81 per cent commercial paper has
been a little higher than the August
average. but normally rates advance
at this time.
Business Birth Rate High
In mentioning failures, the volume
OK new business enterprises-the bust
ness birth rate-might be considered.
The data compiled by the New York
Journal OF Commerce show that dur
ing September new concerns having a
total capitalization of 1901, 900 900
were incorporated. This compares
with $685., 900, 900 IN August and may
be taken as indicating a somewhat
greater hopefulness in the business
outlook.
