summer reaction, and in some lines
positive depression, which have ] III
acterizetd general business and re-
duced the demand for loanable funds,
have also influenced money rates.
There has, intact, been no such ex-
pansiOn of bank loans in the first
half Of this year as was witnessed
in the corresponding period last year.
Another important element in the
situation is the fact that easy money
and a good security market have
made it possible for many concerns
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1924-07-09

successfully to float bond and stock
issues, thus relieving their banks.
During the fiscal year just closed
the Federal Government was also
able 70 reduce its interest-bearing
debt nearly 81, OOO, 600 1000.
A general impression seems to pre-
vail that rates will continue low until
the seasonal demands Of the fall and
the final disposition Of the political
campaign give business d new impe-
tus and expand the use Of lOanable
funds. The foreign situation may
also affect this market materially.
Further progress towards the accept
ance and operation Of the Dawes plan
IS expected TO stimulate business &C
t~lvltles and investment opportunities
abroad which will attract American
funds, especially with one COM
manding higher rates there than
here. Money and banking conditions
on the whole provide a fundamental
safeguard for general business ard
constitute n Of the strongest influ-
ences toward sterilization.
Accumulated Stocks of Goods
Accommodations Of disproportionate
stocks of goods are probably more
general than is supposed. While dis
tributors as a whole have followed
a conservative buying policy, this has
entaiIed in many cases the carrying
Of unduly large inventories b. man
~ufacturers. In April, for example, an
index of stocks Of IS commodities
compiled by the Department of Com
merce stood at 136 (1919-l00), 2;
compared with III in April OF las-
year. That production has been cur
tailed to conform more closely 10 cur
rent rates Of consumption Is now
ever, one of the most wholesome fac
tors in the present situation.
: The sharp decline in the productior
of iron and steel extended into july
but recent reports indicate that
has been retarded, and that buying
especially of pig iron, has show
some improvement.
1t will be noted that during tn
: last few months shipments have bee
! relatively much higher than prOdu'
!. ton. Since the first of June furtht
e curtailment has been made in produ'
y ton schedules. Despite the marke

Business ReUiew
For Past Week

The continued decline of industrial
production has now assumed the pro-
portions of a fairly general readjust-
ment, although in some lines curtail-
ment is to be expected at this time
of the year, states the current issue
of the Guaranty Survey, published IN
New York.
Average commodity prices for the
last few weeks have been more near
" stable, the Survey continues, but
interest rates have receded, and wage
reductions and unemployment have
become more pronounced although
unemployment as a whole Is probably
not much greater than is usual at TINS
Industry in general Is pro-
ceeding at levels materially lower
than those of a year ago, but retail
trade, while declining, appears to De
somewhat larger than that Of the cor
responding period last year.
Conditions in the money market
have commanded particular attention
during the last month, and Its prop
able future course is a matter OF out
standing interest in the current busl-
ness situation. Interest rates are
lower and money is more plentl1ui
than at any time since the pre-war
period.
Reason for Low Interest Rate
Various factors have operated ~
producing this situation, the most I'M,
~nortant being the continued flow o.
gold imports and the increase IN tns
borkinp reserves. The spring anc

1000 Young Pines
Start Refreshing
New County Project

The work of reforesting the waste
places in Kennebec county with seed
ling pines is the newest project UNDER
taken by the Kennebec Farm Bureau
and the Extension Service, and already
fully 1000 young pines have been
planted into country soil and will be
giants of the forest in 40 years from
now. But of course from the time
they begin to reach hardy proportion
they have sales value.
Two demonstrations in the reforest-
ing project have been held in the coun-
ty. one at the farm of w. r. Ayers and
son at Augusta and one at the farm of
c. Z. McDermott of Belgrade.
G. B. Farnham of Belgrade has a
fine standing Of young pine which he
set out seven years ago. The trees
average about 10 feet in height and
are sturdy.
A large number of inquiries have
been made of NJ. J. Parker of Farming
dale. the forestry project leader. con-
corning the reforestry work in kenne

1t was a great surprise, but Mrs.
Kerr was able with the assistance of
several of her little friends on the
hill to round up the donors of the
basket and render the usual reward

time resulted. Needless to say the
contents of the basket were ample to
refresh all present and to serve the
