WEEKLY HARDWARE SUMMARY
Quiet Trading Continues in the Hard.
 ware Market.

New York, Jan. 16.--Hardware age, in it's weekly market summary, will say tomorrow:
 Quite trading continues in the hardware market. A number of small price changes, most of them advances, were announced by manufacturers and iobbers during the past week. Few important price changes on staples are expected, although read iustments are likely for some time. Market authorities forsee slow but more or less consistent downward price tendency.
 The sale of winter goods, such as snow removing tools. sleds, Ice skates, and kindred lines, has been hampered by The warm weather. Retailers are reported to have placed substantial orders for spring merchandise, al though the average retailer is buying with marked caution. Collections are said Io be slow?''

$4,000, 100000 within little more than
a month. Wall street is in a bearish
mood and further decreases are ex-
pected.
A remarkable situation which has
not been satisfactorily explained here
lies in the fact that, while wages are
holding firm, prices of commodities
have dropped, on the average an esti-
mated per cent or more since the
middle of February. Industrial stat
isticians, basing their figures on

There is a rule that business. out

That rule, to put it in four words. is

ascribed to the application of that rule.
AS stock prices fall, bank deposits
here are mounting. Wall street ap-
parently is liquidating some Of the

To the liquid asset policy, also, is

of cautious purchasing is being felt,

By HARDEN C0LFAX.

Industry is beginning to set it's
house in order against the uncertain
ties OF an election year. Straws in
the wind show the current to be in
the direction of falling commodity
prices, a somewhat reduced volume
of activity, a hand -to-mouth buying
policy, a shrinkage, for the moment,
in security values, and a greater de-
gree of caution in planning for the
future.
What Congress will do and how the
election will go; the fate of tax re-
duction and the unmeasured strength
of the so-called radicals in politics;
Germany's attitude toward the Dawes
proposal and the crop prospects of our
f. own farmers: possible wage demands
and the ability of the consumer to
absorb the huge production schedules
planned for 1924-these and other
less related factors appear to be under
the microscope as business fingers on
the threshold of minor postwar
feadjustment period.
Scout Tax Reduction.
OF these factors, tax reduction per-
haps ranks first. Some of the great
est combinations of capital are in

of any tax reduction this year.

French Bar to Dawes Plan
May Lead to Isolation

trusts such agreement, for the English
feel the French are provocative in their
relations with Germany, and as a result
of this might stir strife in which Eng
land would become involved, though it
might be wholly distasteful politically
and otherwise. So it may be seen there
is little chance of English guarantees
unless there be sudden right-about-
face, and British governments never
don well travelled pathways of foreign
policy.
AS a result, it would appear that
the Dawes proposals. are in for rough
shedding before the machinery toward
economic and financial restoration of
the continent can get into movement
A compromise solution will have to
be reached if the French and British
viewpoints are reconciled to the point
of permitting allied unity Of action
in so far as Germany is concerned.
Notwithstanding a keen desire on
the part of all to hasten action, it
would appear that political expe-
diency again is mounting the saddle
and will ride hard. Unless there be
some agreement in the immediate
future between Premiers Poincare,
Macdonald and Theunis of Belgium,
the powers most interested, but little,
IL anything, ever will be accomplished.
1t is question Of how far each will
give and take. But one thing is cer-
tain: Should Poincare stand firm and
wreck the chances of economic and
political accord among the allies
there will be new alignments. and
France will become isolated. This
fear already has been voiced by for
mer Premier BRAND. Poincare yet
may be forced into line after the
French elections are over and he has
nulled the effectiveness of the shafts
of his political enemies.

the people. The obvious side Of the
problem. to the proponents of the
price-fixing plan is that the prices
OF farm products are low, and that
the adoption of their proposal would
cause prices to rise. The unseen,
or less obvious side, is that the adop-
tion of the proposed plan would re-
suit in more taxes. higher cost of
living, higher prices OF commodities
the farmer must buy, artificial stimu-
lus of agricultural production, the
bringing of poor land into use, class
antaSonism and eventual repeal of
the law and serious depression and
suffering in agriculture following the
stimulus of a guaranteed price. In
short, the proposed remedy would be
worse than the disease which it is
designed to cure"
Working Out Own Salvation.
A stock argument in support of
the McNary- Haugen bill is to demand
that its opponents offer mething in
its place. A good many well in
formed men believe that the answer
to this is. Let the farmer alone, and
he will work out his own salvation =
One man who appears to take that
view of the situation is DR.. W. N.
Jardtne, president of the Kansas State
Agricultural College. Here is what
he has to say about it:
This legislation would defeat the
movement, now well under way. to
solve farm pro blems by adjusting
production to demand by better bal
anced farming and other efforts at
self help. The incentive for CO.
operative mark citing is to secure bet
ter prices for the farmers chiefly
through reduced costs of distribution.
The McNary Haugen bill. in effect,
would reduce this incentive and
jeopardize the cooperative move
ment-farmers would turn to 1egisla-
tive remedies instead of self help"
To fall back on the proposition
that the farmer should be permit, ed
to work out his own salvation may
sound harsh and cruel. but it is much
less harsh and cruel than to delude
him with false hopes and lead him
into following a will-'o-the-Wis to
his own eventual ruin.
