EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Nature of Traffic Important.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

The nature of the traffic on which
a railroad depends for its earnings is
a matter of prime Importance to the
prospective investor IN securities. IN
a general way it is desirable that thus
traffic be diversified, that is to say that
the business of the road be not con-
fined to carrying Of any single conf
modify. Diversification OF this ma
ture makes for stability of earnings
inasmuch as il is not so likely lhat
a depression il, one or more of the 'n-
dusilles served Will affect the others.
This is the principal involved, but
there are roads exceptionally prosper
Gus, and which at the same time de-
pend upon one single commodity Tor
the great proportion OF their freight
carvings. The Norfolk and W Neslvill
is such road. being almost eXclu-
Sively Il carrier OF the bllumlnouS
coal. The so-cailed hard Coalers. the
Delaware and Hudson, the Central oi
New Jersey, the Lehigh Valley and
the ReaQing, derive great snare oi
their revenue IRON anthracite. ana
when there is q suspension of mining
the income Of these roads is cut ac-
cordingly Then, there are the West :
ern transcontlnental systems TO which
the size of the grain crops is sub
iect of vital concern. Up in Maine
there is a small but highly prosperous
toa,. the i,aHg0r and .ArouStook. the
fortunes of which are involved with
the potato crop.
Whenever road closely associated
with one commodity or one industry
is enabled to attract freight business
in other lines it is considered a favor
able development. Nevertheless there
will always be railroads to which one
particular product will be OF more
importance than all the rest put to-
gether The cautious investor TAX
ing account of this condition will dis
tribute the amount he has to put into
railway securities so that roads in
more than one line will be represented
This applies TO bonds as well as 10
stock. 1t is only carrying the prln-
ciple in diversification step further.

WIRE NAIL TRADE
TAKES BIG SLUMP
Various Reasons Assigned
as Cause of Falling Off in
Use of Product.
BY J.. c. ROYIE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. May 26.--"The Bare
footed farmer pov of song and story
used to hold up his galluSeS with a
nail. Now he can't find the nail"
That is how one of the big exec
utives of the steel industry outlined
today the drop in production of the
nail mills. While the other steel
mills are turning out products al
nearly normal capacity this Spring
the wire mill, hardly got started. To.
day operations in that end of the
Industry are hardly better than last
year.
Wire mills have been coasting along
at around 65 per cent of capacity,
while the other plants have ranged
from so to 80 per cent The steel
industry realizes that unfavorable
weather has held back farm buying
of fencing and wire. but the real rea-
son for the slump is placed on the
decreased consumption of wire nails.
Use of Paper Continues.
The men chiefly interested In that
angle Of the industry. as is natural.
have unfurled the moral umbrella and
shed the blame from their own
shoulders. H. some measure they are
justified by conditions. The use Of
paper containers has increased tre-
mendously in late years. Consignees
as well as. shippers seem to favor
paper In the shipping of commodities
as can be handled in the paper
cartons.
1t is estimated that there are at
least so nails in the ordinary pack
ing box. Every paper container
which has supplanted wooden pack
ing box has automaticallE reduced
the nail consumption by that mum,
her The wooden crate. unless ii be
a wooden packing case of fair size,
always presents problem OF dis
posal, especially in the commercial
districts of large cities where space
Is at a premium.
It has been found ineXpedlent to
use packing boxes for fuel. Furnaces
do not accommodate the burning of
wood fuel and the nails mating above
the crate bars resents difficulty of
cleaning Of fires. Then there is the
additional cost of labor in opening
the nailed container while the paper
container can be baled readily with
other paper waste and made to yleid
a certain if small revenue.
Makers Admit IncursiOn.
The makers of wooden boxes, on the
other hand, declare their style of con
tainer is being produced in fully as
large quantities as heretofore. They
admit the incursions of the paper
carton, but say commerce and trade
has expanded TO such an extent that
the demand for wooden boxes is as
large as ever.
This statement is horne out by eX-
ecutives of the New England Box Co,
one of the largest manufacturers in
this country, with mills at seven diff
ferent centers. They assert, likewise,
that the use of nails has declined, but
explain that this has been caused by
the expanding demand for bound
boxes, which eliminate the pointed
fasteners; by lock-cornered boxes and
by improved cabinet making methods.
They declare nothing can entirely
take the place of the wooden contain
er as a protection for shipped mer-
char
The development of the wire bound
wooden contaner is one of the chief
Innovations in packing. since it elm.

Business Conditions in the
United States

The general outlook for business
during the next few months remains
favorable, despite the less encOurag-
ing position of agriculture resulting
from the bad weather experienced in
numerous localities and the violent
break in the price of cotton, states
the current issue Of the Guaranty
Survey, published by the Guaranty
Trust Company of New York.
The latter is without doubt the
most important development Of recent
weeks bearing on the business out
look, the Survey continues. With
farm prices of raw cotton several
cents below the average cost of pro-
duction, returns to cOttOngrOwers
will be severely curtailed, and the re-
duction of purchasing power in the
Cotton Belt will be felt by business
throughout the country.
Fortunately, there are a number Of
factors which will tend to modify the
effects of low cotton prices. The
tendency toward crop Investigation
has made considerable progress In
most parts of the South since the dis
astrous season of 1920, and the sec
tions where the majority of farmers
are solely dependent on the fortunes
of the one crop are comparatively
few. The extremely large volume of
the crop, with correspondingly low
costs of production, will help to sus-

returns. Credit facilities much bet
ter than those of a few years ago
will enable many producers to store
their cotton until later in the season,
when conditions may be more favor
able for marketing. Concerted action
in this direction should be greatly IA
cilitated by the cooperative market
ing organizations and by bankers in
the affected areas, who have shown
commendable eagerness to place ev-
cry possible means of aid at the dis
pOsal of the cotton-growers.
From the point of view of the cot
ton textile industry, the prospect of
plentiful supplies of raw materials at
low prices is encouraging. Up to the
present time the decline in prices If
cotton fabrics has not kept pace with
the decline in the price of raw cotton,
SO that price relationships between
raw and finished goods are more IA
vorable than at any other time in the
last five years. While it is likely
that the prices of fabrics will show
some sympathetic weakness, there i:
reason to hope that the third consec.
utive large cotton crop will result il

HEALING Fl A
LEFT BY CONFLICT
Some Good Accomplished
in Years of Peace.

~ IGHT years have now passed
since the last shot was fred in
the World war. Today the ami
Versary Of Armistice day is celebrated
In those lands where the victory Of
1918 was hailed then with rejoicing.
Those eight years have been replete
with great events, as the War-tOrn
world has readjusted to peace. They
have witnessed conferences Of the
representatives Of the nations, negO-
tiatiOnS for adjustments, reactions, re-
belliOns within the boundaries Of late
Iy warning powers, the formation Of
an international association Of nas
lions aiming al the establishment Of
peace and its functioning In the set
Element OF differences between the
member nations.
In these eight years that have passed
since the armistiee was signed and
the warning forces ceased their awful
struggle in Europe, advance has IN
Questionably been made toward a
hrmer ground Of international under
standing. A settlement Of the war
obligations Of Germany has been eff
fected upon terms finally acceptable
TO both sides. The new states created
by the treaty Of. Versailles have
gained substantial foundations. Eco
nOmic conditions have been advanced
toward stability.
Today, as the occasion Is marked
by ceremonies or by the simple but
significant silence Of millions at an
appointed minute, 1t is possible to
feel the remarkable recovery that has
been made from the shock Of conflict
and to realize the benefits which. al
whatever cost, have been gained By
humanity from the war. Millions Of
men were slain and more wer'

Livestock
Situation

The movement of cattle into Cal
ifornia for feeding purposes this year
is estimated to be III excess of several
years past. Indications are that the
number of cattle placed on feed in
the state will be the largest in sew
eral years.
This is accounted for, to some ex-
tent, by three reasons: The excellent
condition of ranges, the satisfactory
hay and barley crops, and the grow
ing tendency to finish feed and to
supplement range feed on cattle
which have not reached the proper
flesh on the range grasses.
At this time there are over 100000
dairy animals in the state and in K
cess of 100000 beef animals. The
beef animals consist of about 100000
beef type COWS and heifers, the bulk
of the balance consisting of steers
and calves.
Despite this number of beef and
dairy animals within the state it is
necessary to import feeders to util-
ize available feeds and during the
coming year it is estimated that
around 10000 beef cattle will be
placed on feed. This, of course means
a valuable outlet to the Intermoun-
tain and Southwestern range breed
ers as California is placed in direct
competition with the Middle Western
buyers for feeders. It is reported
that in the past few weeks, Califor-
MIA has competed with the Corn Belt
feeders for calves in the Pan Handle
country, which means, of course, the
addition of a most important element
to the breeders Of all of these range
producing sections.
The tendency is towards centraliz-
ed finish feeding of beef animals at
points located in advantageous posi-
tions accessible to the feed supply
The range cattleman through this
medium is able at the end of the
range season, rather than to throw
his cattle on to the market, some,
times at unfavorable prices, to place
the animals which have not finished
out satisfactorily upon supplemental
feeds. In this way he can marke
them throughout the balance of tn
year, making a more even distribu
ton which avoids the depressing o
prices as has been the case in year
past when the annual grange clean
up" comes.
In the building up of these feeding
operations the range producer o
breeder naturally strengthens his pc
sitiOn as with his cattle placed o.
supplemental feeds at protecte
points the animals are in virtual
the same category as a warehous
commodity. From a standpoint o
financing, feed lot cattle are highl
desirable as security so that ad
vances may be secured. against ther

their condition justifies their sale.
