of the American war debt. This has
naturally led to a sentiment of oppo-
sition toward further loans to be
taken up by American capital in be-
half of France.
Why L. 8. Bonds Decline.
The best proof that the investment
markets are confident OF tax reduc-
ton at home has been afforded by the
continued fall in tax-exempt or par
TALLY tax-exempt United States bonds
during the week. Some of these is
sues have made new lows for the
year.
The selling is easily explainable.
1t means, of course, that II the surtax
Is lowered to the extent suggested by
Secretary Mellon, there will be a
wholesale transfer of rich mems
money from Liberty bonds to securi-
ties of higher yield. Then. too. the
rich men will be able to sell out their
stock on which they have made enor-
nous profits without having to give
up so much to the Government as to
make the operation seem not worth
while.
Motors Still In Lead.
Automobile stocks have continued
In the lead, as In fact they have been
since the 1st Of September. With the
possible exception of the shares of
the equipment, steel and other COM
panies engaged during the war in the
manufacture of munitions, no set of
stocks has made SO large a gain in
so short a time. The general run Of
people evidently had underestimated
what the third quarter earnings of
these automobile companies were go
ing to show. It Is now seen that
these remarkable earnings results
are being and undoubtedly will be
still further, translated into higher
dividends. But even SO. 1t strikes the
conservative observer that the mar
ket for this class of stocks has been
doing some extraordinary discounting
OF good trade news.
It Is not altogether clear that the
motor situation Is what 1t was q few
weeks ago. In the latest weekly sum-
mary by Automotive Industries, the
well known trade journal, reference
was made to the fact that "at most
factories output is running ahead of
sales and that this situation is ex.
pected to continue for some time"
Reserve Discounts Small.
One Of the remarkable features con-
tinues to be that the huge Wall Street
speculation is being financed by the
banks themselves without recourse to
the Federal Reserve. The latest re-
serve statement showed a reduction in
bills discounted of $13, ,000. 900 for the
country as a whole, and of this
amount 81 100000 occurred in the New
York district.
This is something which expla ins
the persistence of comparatively low
money rates despite the great activity
on the Stock Exchange, the very high
prices and the consequent expansion
Of credit needs.

squirt IN RETAIL
TRADE REPORTED
Heavier Buying Due to Cold
Snap Shows Prosperity
All Over Country.
BY j. c. ROYLE.

The squirt In retail trade III the last
week offered the most striking Illus
tration of the present healthy condl-
ton of the business structure or THIS
country The cold snap which was
felt in various sections speeded buy
ing in many lines. This was immedi-
ateiy reflected In wholesale and manu-
featuring circles, especially In the
case Of clothing and shoes.
The demand for furniture and
household goods is keeping pace with
clothing.
Auto Firms Heavy Buyers.
It has been too early as Yet for the
textile mills to show the effect OF the
slump In cotton prices which followed
the Government crop report this week,
but 1t Is expected the stabilizauon or
cotton prices around present levels
will induce the increase OF production
schedules IN both New England and
Southern mills. The last week has
seen heavy purchase of twills and
satins by automobile manufacturers
fot tops and seat covering. This in
dicates determination on the part OF
automobile manufacturers to maintain
present rate of output well up toward
January !. or even 10 increase II.
The automobile manufacturers re-
quirements Still are 4 ma jUr factor
with the steel industry, but demand
from other sources has increased to
such an extent that mills in general
are operating at better than so per
cent OF capacity and many are run
ming close to 100 per cent.
Steel Outlook Bright.
The increase in orders by railroads
for equipment OF various kinds this
week was especially encouraging to
leaders in the steel industry. The
week was almost barren OF new de-
velopmentS so far as the coal situa-
lion is concerned although there has
been a perceptible increase in the
demand for anthracite substitutes In
Pennsylvania, New York and New
England.
The oil industry Is still far from
satisfactory TO men engaged in the
petroleum industry. None the less,
recent reports indicate that many OF
the oil companies have piled up re-
spectacle profits since the first of July
and there certainly has been an i'm.
proyement since the end of the Sum
mer In the general situation.
Building Materials Active.
The demand for building materials
has remained excellent. This is due.
not only TO the volume of construc-
ton under way. but to the stabiliza~
ton of material prices. The tre-
mendous volume of freight which Is
being moved by the railroads is
commencing to make itself apparent
In the earnings reported by a num-
bcr of the carriers.
The non-ferrous metal markets all
exhibited strength with the eXcep-
ton of copper.
Sugar prices showed some I'M
provement owing to the frosts in the
west of the country, which may
possibly affect beet sugar output un-
favorably, but the canning season
was disappointment to many sugar
producers in that it did not raise
consumption in this country to the
point which they hoped for.
Radio manufacturers are speeding
production to the utmost and pro-
ducers of electric current will secure
larger revenue from owners Of
radio sets than ever before.

UNTFORWS FOR TEACHERS

Chicagos 10000 school teachers are to be put in
uniform. The costume consists of inexpensive
smock something like those worn by artists.
The plan meets with chorus of approval. Near
t. all of the teachers like it. Parents approve of it.
there doesn't seem to be any valid argument against
It, 1t saves expense to the teacher it prevents compe
tltlon IN dress among teachers. it makes a teacher
recognizable when on the job 1t should promote
spirit of professional unity and self-respect among
teachers as surely the uniform does among nurses
soldiers or sailors.
Some critics will say that dressing the teacher so
plainly will remove educational influence from the
school room--the girl pupils will longer have
fashion model to follow. But that is Just as we'll. The
less school girls bother their heads about sartoral
styles, the better for them.
The next logical step might be a uniform for pu-
plls There Is talk of that, too There such uni
forms III many foreign schools. Why not in this coun
try to discourage fads and competition dress among
Boys and girls, and give them more respect for the
school and the serious work that the uniform would

PETROLEUM

The nations petroleum producers, meeting at
Tulsa, Okla, have shown little worry about the oil
supply.
There is more oil in stock for emergency use to-
day than ever before, says the president Of the Amer
can Petroleum Institute. And there more known
reserves of crude oil in the ground capable of being
produced, than ever before"
That fact is cheering to 100000 automobile
owners as 1t Is to the oil But producers and
consumers alike easily agree these points:
knowledge that there is still much oil in the
ground Is no justification for rushing get all out
and use 1t all up.
Sooner or later the oil pools will play out then
the shale OIL
There ought to be some kind of Sysematzed con-
troll OF production, suit supply to necessary de-
mand, and there ought to be less waste.
