Survey reports production this year
to May Is as l8l, Isl, 900 tons,
against lbs, AL 900 in 1924, 2l0,436,
600 in 1923 and $780,, 900 in 1920.
In 1924 there was danger of strike
on March LIST which stimulated buy
ing in the first three months and in
1928 consumers were still replenishing
stocks after the big strike of 1922.
The coal industry has had no nor
NAL years since before the war, and
has been completely disorganized
by the experiences through which
it has passed. Expert calculations
indicate that between the compe-
tition Of fuel oil and hyro-electric
power, and the economies which
are being accomplished in the con-
sumption of coal for the generation
OF steam, the country is actually
using less coal than formerly. At
any rate, it is using less in proper
ton to the coal-producing capacity.
In the textile industries silk main
tains a strong state of activity, while
cotton and wooden goods are still
on an unsatisfactory basis. The
promise of another large cotton
crop and the downward tendency
of prices makes buyers wary Of
taking more goods than they need
tor day to day trade, and manufac-
tuners are equally indisposed to
manufacture for stock.
Production IS al a high rate.
April consumption OF cotton reach
ing So7,l04 bales, which compares
with the record of 624,624 bales in
March, 1928. In only 3 months.
January, March and May, 1928, has
the April consumption been ex-
ceeded. That it should be SO high
when SO many mills are known to /
be running on part time, gives sup
port to the view now commonly
held that the cotton goods indus
try IS over-developed, having too
much capacity for the amount of
cotton, and for the consumption de-
.mand at present prices.
There 10 agitation in the South
for general short-time operations, |
but an agreement to accomplish It |
would be in violation of law, and
voluntary, restriction by individual
producers has the effect of raising
their costs above those of competi-
tors who run full time.
The price of wool is firmer. and
the feeling seems to be that the de-
cline has gone as far as conditions |
justify. Sales have been postponed
IN London and Australia, and much
depends upon the showing when
they are resumed next month.
The farm implement industry in
the first quarter was Is per cent
better than in the corresponding
quarter of 1924, and the entire sit.
dation in the sections where agricul-
ture is the chief interest is decidedly
more hopeful than a year ago.
There is some hesitation just now,
waiting the outcome of the crops
and assurance as to prices. Funda-
mental conditions are getting con-
stantly better.

MLittIs Bird Told Ma

In early days superstitious pscph
paid considerable attention 70 he
birds and their different cries. which
were believed to foretell events. Thus
comes the old saying, "A little bird
told me-" says the London Daily
Mail.
Traces Of this belief are to b
found in our own Old Testament,
where verse 20 of chapter 10 Of E.
clesiastes speaks Of "for @ bird II
the air shall carry the voice, and
that which hath wings shall tsIl ihs
matter" 1t is generally agreed that
1t is from this belief in the universal
knowledge of birds-which, Of course
are supposed to see everything from
the sky-that we get this saying.

The governments May report On
winter wheat estimated the probable
yield at 444,833,000 bushels, which
compares with an actual yield last
year of 5o0,037 900 bushels, and 10.
dicating a probable loss Of about
l45,000,000 bushels. The Spring
wheat acreage is about Is per tenl
larger than last year, but the yield
last year was unusually large pss
acre, and an average yield on the
acreage would give only 260,0 OQQM
bushels, against 2S3,000,000 harvested
last year. These figures for Winter
and Spring wheat indicate . present
outlook for about 16S,000,000 bush
els less wheat in the United States
than last year. On the other hand
the Canadian acreage is about ptf
cent larger than last year and . g
with a good start. An average veg
there would give about 9s,Q0QW
bushels more than Canada rai3ec
last year. The carry-over here go
in Canada will be less than ~
year by 100000 to 60,0oem
bushels. Therefore, the outlook g
this time is for about l25,WW
bushels less wheat in North Amer
ca in the coming crop year than
in 1924.
These calculations based upcas
average crops do not signify inuen
as to probable results in sing,s

The government has issued g
estimate that the July ! carry.cvms,

be 100000 bushels less than ="
