Forword Trend in Both
Domestic, Foreign Trade

New York;. G. Dun * Company's
weekly review of business conditions
in part is as follows:
The first half of January, though
naturally marked by decrease of
buying in primary channels, brought
new proofs of commercial progress.
Developments of a constructive nature
still predominant, and various statisti-
cal records bear out the other evil
dences of forward trend in both do
nestle business and in foreign trade.
Special January retail sales have
been well patroniZed, price conces-
sions stimulating demand. and reports
from widely separated sections of the
country stress the fact that stocks of
merchandise are relatively small.
There is no rush of orders to replen-
ish supplies, but many buyers who
are in need of goods for early delivery
are in the markets and are making
commitments with confidence, though
on a conservative basis.

farmers marketing problem.
ITO this l fully agree. Nevertheless,

to ward improvement of the farmers
position lay in the advancement of
measures that make for reduction of
costs of our whole distribution system,
and in helping to bring about improve
ment and stability in the general in
dUistrial and commercial situation both
at home and abroad. The farmers
problem is a problem of the nation as

BACKS COOLIDGE
ON Gun ELEVATION
Senate Rejects Amendment
Appropriating $6,500,00O
to Change Range.

WashIngtOn.-The stand taken by
the administration against an amend
ment to the naval appropriations bill
which would provide money for the
elevation of the guns on thirteen capt.
tai ships retained by The United States
under the treaty fer the limitation of
naval ornaments, was sustained ia the
senate A motion by Senator Nickel
lar (Dem., Tenn to have the rules
ser aside and an amendment made in
order was defeated, As TO 30.
Senator Johnson (Rep.. CALI was
The only Republican TO support the
Mcclellan motion. On the other hand,
tliTty-siX Republican senators, repre-
senting almost every faction of the
senate, and eight Democrats followed
the administration leadership.
Action Opposed by Hale.
The vote followed debate by Senator
Hale (RCp., Maine), chairman of the
naval affairs committee, and Senator
Mcclellan, during which MIR. Hale de-
clared that while he believed the guns
on the battleships should be elevated
10 increase their range and bring the
american fleet on p3Tity with that of
Great Britain, and hoped they would
De, ne was opposed to action by the
senate at this time along the lines
suggested by Senator Mcclellan.
Senator Hale said that about two
years ago when it was reported that
Great Britain intended to elevate the
guns on her capital ships, an appro-
priation Of $6,500O0O was voted by
congress TO elevate the American guns
but subsequently, this money had been
returned to the treasury when it was
learned that no such step was contem-
plated by Great Britain.
THE suggestion now presented BY
Senator Mcclellan, that money be ap-
propriated again for gun elevation"
said Senator Hale, "was a repetition
OF the action taken previously and he
was OF the opinion that it might en-
barrass the administration in it's ham
ding of the treaty.
British Guns outranee U. S.
Senator Mcclellan contended that
while Great Britain had not elevated
the guns o. her capital ships, the pro-
visions Of the arms limitation treaty
mad left the English feet in a stronger
position than the American heet, al
though equality of strength was the
expressed purpose of the pact. The
guns Of British ships, he said. had
greater range than those of thirteen
of the capital ships retained by the
United States.
THE American people," said Senator
MEkeIIar, expect US to keep up the
ratio of 5-5-3 and the only way to
do that would be by the elevation Of
the guns on our ships think it is
our duty to keep up the 5-5-3 ratio"
