tuberculosis and other regulatory
measures. These restrictions rapidly
are spreading throughout the country.
The total 1926 consumption OF dairy
products will be slightly above that or
1925, according to Government sta
tisticians, although the actual milk
equivalent of the butter. cheese and
condensed milk produced was less
than last year. There has been de-
cided reduction in the holdings OF but
ter in storage, owing to the unex-
pected reduction in the output of
cream in the Middle West this Au-
tumn.
Consequently there is room for inn
ports Of foreign butter. despite the
fact that there is tariff impost of
IL cents a pound on the foreign
product.
Small shipments Of Swedish and 81
berian butter already have come in.
and large imports are on the way from
New Zealand and Denmark. The in
crease in the tariff on butter has
caused a decided increase in the ship
ments Of cream from Canada to the
United States, thus avoiding the
American butter import duties. The
tariff commission is now investigat-
ing the extent Of these shipments.
More dairy products in the form
Of milk and cream were consumed
by the American people this year
than ever before. Fewer cattle had
to produce this amount, owing to the
condemnation Of cattle under health
tests. The number OF dairy cattle
increased in a larger. percentage than
did the human population OF the
United States.

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Neglected Art of Buying.

The American people are n1olding
their habits in accordance with the
pleas of statesmen. In business. lead.
ers have stressed selling to an increas.
ing extent. and the salesman type Is
coming into larger recognition ana re.
wards. Recently. for example. the
chief operating subsidiary OF the
United States steel Corporation put its
stamp of approval on a star sales.
man by elevating him to the presi.
dency, disregarding the tradition that
the head Of the enterprise should be
picked from the operating side.
The president Of the largest rail-.
road in the world--the Government.
owned Canadian National Railways
recently told me that selling Ia the
chief factor in the success even Of a
railroad.
AS a result Of this growing emphasis,
the psychology OF selling has far out.
stripped the art OF buying. which has
been neglected. AS consumers we are
prone to buy because some one has
tempted us, rather than on the basis
of a real analysis Of our needs. And,
since our aggregate purchasing power
as individuals is limited, the purchase
Of one article may deprive us Of an.
other which will be more productive
Of satisfactions.
Ad Writers Town Criers.
Advertising writer's are the town
criers OF the present day and In an
infinite variety Of subtle ways they
are all shrieking loudly to attract the
attention Of the individual. Through
advertising, the butcher, the banker.
the clothier, the automobile vendor
and the travel bureau--to mention
only a few--have enlisted all the aida
that psychological research and q
study of human frailties have reveal.
ed to get him to favor their offerings.
The voice Of prudence ana thrift
is almost inaudible in the clatter OF
a thousand merchants boosting their
wares. Only the strong.wiiled can
resist the collective pressure and re.
tain a portion Of his available funds
for the quiet satisfaction to be at.
tained through the years from intel
ligent investment.
OF course, the business greatness OF
the country has been built up on ad.
vertising and selling. which are dis.
tinctly American influences--helpfu
constructive and desirable. But. as In.
dividuals, you must each assume the
responsibility for making your own
choices as to how you shall exert
your purchasing power. None but
millionaires can respond to every ap.
peal to which they are exposed. When
you buy on your own initiative. you
are more likely to attaiR your pbjec.

Margin Calls. 81
By GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Margin Calls"
Whenever the stock market has suf-
fered drastic decline the papers re-
port in their financial columns that
margin calls" went out after the
close and that they We're met with ad.
ditional cash or that customers light.
ened their holdings by disposing of
stocks they had been carrying on
their accounts. Let us see what this
means.
In the first place practically all
speculation is done on borrowed
money. II every speculator had to
furnish the actual cash to carry his
commitments there would be precious
little speculation. Whatever one may
think about the morals of the matter.
the fact is that stocks are bought by
spectators with funds borrowed for
that purpose. The result is that
when market prices go down the
equity OF the speculator decreases
likewise and Ii the decline is carried
far enough 1t is entirely wiped out.
The matter can be made plain best
by an illustration. Suppose United
states Steel common stock Is selling
at $50 a share. A small speculator
buys 10 shares on margin. To pay
for the stock in full would at this
up with his broker say $500, the
broker borrows $1,000 from the bank
and the trader has margin Of 80 l-S
per cent. Now suppose United States
Steel drops to S140 share, the trad.
er's equity is now only $400. His mar.
gin has been impaired 500 or 90 per
cent of the original amount. II steel
bv any chance should go as low as
xl00 a share he would be entirely
wiped out, but long before that time
his broker would demand that he put
,p additional cash, or margin, So
called.
IT sometimes happens, often in fact.
that the speculator who finds him.
self caught I'm this fashion prefers or
IS forced to sell out his stock. He
NAV not be willing or he may not be
ah1s TO furnish the additional cash and
so closes out the account. When
this happens on any large scale prices
90 lower all through the market.

tives. When you are sold. you may
be drifting, frittering away your pur'
chasing power.
Consumers are inadequately organ.
ICED to carry on their work OF judi
cious selection. Even theorists have
neglected the economics OF consump'
tion, which Ia a fruitful subject for
research. The consumer goes into the
market as an unequal--ill prepared
to match his wits with the seller who
Is likely to be specialist.
Prejudices Are Factors.
Prejudice, whimicalities, and down
right ignorance Of factors that deter
mine value cripple the real purchas-
ing power Of the average family. IN
New York City, for example. house
wives pay a premium for white eggs
and in Boston for brown eggs. In
the early days of the Republic the
hens near New York laid white eggs,
and the color was an indication OF
freshness. At Boston the nearby hens
specialized in brown eggs. But. now
both cities draw their huge egg supply
from distant places. and there Is no
longer and correlation between color
and freshness, according to the ex-
perts. In the butcher shop popular
cuts Of meat sell out of all proper
ton to their relative nutritive value.
Household economics should become
more than a fad. It should be taught
to girls in the elementary schools. For
the most part, women are the pur'
chasing departments Of American
homes. In the art Of buying men
are frequently even less adequately
equipped than women.
A new tendency which is to be de-.
plored Is the disposition on the part
Of buyers on the partial payment
plan to determine their ability to buy
a commodity by the amount OF the
flrst down payment, instead Of II,
terms Of the total cost. The install.
ment plan, when properly conducted.
has it's proper place in industry. but
the buyer owes 1t to himself to recog.
nize the load he is contracting to
carry
