RUBBER

The so-called Stevenson plan.
through which rubber expectation in
the British East Indian possessions
has been effectively restricted. was
the dominating feature of the rub
ber industry this year. Largely. as
a result of that restriction prices
rose from 141s cents in the latter
part Of 1922 to s5h cents in Feb
ruary.
Manufacturers of tires. who use 90
per cent of the rubber consumed IN
this country. stocked heavily early
In the year and as demand diminish

ever, as the tire inventories, were
worked Off Stocks of rubber in this
country will probably start 1924 at
nearly normal figures, although the
carry-over of tires will be some
what heavier than usual. American
consumption this year has reached
nearly 100000 tons

WOOL

Despite the long continued fight be-
tween producers and consumers Of
wool, most of them seem agreed on
one point as 1928 draws to a close.
That is that there is no immediate
probability of lower wool prices For
the first three-quarters of this year
mills in this country consumed 606,-
$4,000 pounds of wool as against
o77, 100000 in 1922. This country
grows only about 40 per cent of the
wool consumed here. The activity
of the mills increased in the last
quarter, and prices which had sagged
from the high levels of the first half
year recovered materially.
In general, ranges are in fine con-
dition for the winter, and herds in
excellent shape. While demand is
increasing, few growers have listened
so far to proposals for contracting
their next springs clips at prevailing
figures.

unmarketed. 1t is being held for
higher prices, but so far the returns
to growers have been only cents a
bushel. Later they will, Of course,
receive the remainder which their
combined production brings in the
market.
In Idaho, as low as 40 cents a
bushel was paid growers. Michigan
farmers sold some lots at 80 cents.
Pacific northwestern men did slightly
better. Little of the crop 50 far has
been frosted, although warehouses
are full and some potatoes remain
on the ground
Taken as a whole, growers did not
have a prosperous year, although ex-
ceptions were numerous.

SILK

After complete disorganization.
the silk market. toward the end OF
the year, got back to the levels
which obtained before the disaster
or below them. Shipments of silk
were resumed surprisingly early
and few manafacturers were sacutely
discommoded by the interruption OF
raw staple movements.
Manufacturers expect next spring
to develop into strong silk goods
season. Larger crops of cocoons In
the coming. season will, it Is be-
lieved, tend to relieve any shortage
resulting from the Japanese disaster.
November saw all records for Inn
ports of silk and silk goods broken
at Seattle. These shipments exceed.
cd 100000 in value.

Cigar production increased only
about per cent over last year and

The tobacco crop of the country
was estimated to be about per cent

Cigar manufacturers were well en-
gagged. but their profits are not be-

More base balls were sold In 1928
than ever before, but the demand for
club uniforms and equipment was
less than in some former years. This
Is attributed to the fact that employ

Of idleness by workers.

was the increase in demand for golf

A flood of extra dividends marked
the closing months of the year, giving
added strength and buoyancy to
stock values.
Manufacturing and other industry
gained momentum through the spring
and summer, tapering off somewhat
With the approach of winter. In the
0n of progress were the motor car
builders, who surprised themselves
by manufacturing 100000 passenger
cars and trucks during the year.
That figure was materially higher
than the most optimistic men in the
business forecast at the beginning of
the year. An unusually large demand
for closed passenger cars has marked
the last few months. This, coupled
with a program calling for the con-
struction of 2. .000, 900 cars. trucks and
tractors by the Ford interests, was
taken as Indicating another year of
unusual activity in 1924.

from the large cities into the small

is need for an organization builded
upon the principles Of Kiwanis.
Kiwanis, he said, embraces the good
purpose Of an organization without
form or ceremony I'd hide the aims
from the members.
Mr.. Lumry emphasized the duty
of Kiwanis spirit Of fair play in bus
mess and recognition Of duty to the
under-privileged, both mature and
young, but with emphasis upon ef-
forts to secure for the under. privi-
legged young the opportunities which
they might miss without helping
hand. While education has made
wonderful strides in the nation and
altruistic effort has reached high
stage, yet there Is pressing neces-
sity for an organization to devote
tie best thought to the subjects.
Schools can be improved, the health
of the community Settered, the de-
sires of the young for recreation

the under-privileged given chance
to make good, he said.

Of existence, said that he believed
no greater step could be made than
by getting acquainted" He urged
