BUTTER IMPROVES
| IN WEEKS TRADING
Price Advances at All Big Markets
Reported for the Fresh
Product.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 13.-The
outer markets during the week
showed considerable improvement
which resulted in price advances on
fresh butter on all the larger mar
kets with the exception of Boston,
where operators, at this period of the
year. use large quantities of storage
butter.
Fancy butter was in light supply
and demand showed considerable inn
proVement over the previous week.
AT the close of the week all markets
were firm and supplies were limited.
The statistical position of the mar
kets for several weeks has been quite
favorable, but effects of this firm posi-
ton did not influence the markets per-
cept1bly until this week. The receipts
at the four markets for the past sew
eral weeks have been showing steady
declines, and have been running con-
siderably below the receipts of CORE
spending periods for 1925.
The daily net ut-ofstorage move
ment at the four markets for some
time has been exceeding the last
years movement by large margin.
l. Al 81 IL vi 4>ONSUlDeI, lJ-O,
the net out-of-storage movement
amounted to 7,06S,654 pounds, as com
pared with 3.667,579 pounds for the
corresponding period last year. In
spite Of this very favorable out-of-
storage movement the December op-
tions at Chicago have shown very lit
tie change, advancing only IS of a
cent since November /. The storage
holdings for the country, released on
November 12, showed q total on hand
November l amounting to 100,589, 600
pounds, as compared with 94,916, 900
pounds on November /. 1925.
Production shows little. if any,
change from the past several weeks,
although reports available for the
week ending November show slight
decreases from last week and last
year among the centralizers, while
the Land -O'-Lakes Creameries show a
decrease of sos per cent from last
year, but an increase of Is per cent
over the previous week.
During this week 1,150 casks OF
Siberian butter arrived at New York
and is being offered at 43 cents, duty
paid. New Zealand offered to arrive
at 461a cents. Danish offered at 49
cents, duty paid. and a, small amount
was purchased at this figure. AS a
result of the price advance during the
week foreign markets are having a
sentimental effect on the domestic sit
uation, as it is possible to import but
ter to advantage at present prices.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK .
CONTINUES BRIGHT
Usual Bear Stories CircuIat-
ing, But Many Factors
Refute Them.
By j. G. ROYLE.


Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, November 13.-The big
train of business is all set to proceed
on schedule. Business and industrial
experts who have inspected the sit
uation closely in the last week have
found no cracked wheels or ill-packed
aXles likely to cause a breakdown or
delay. Business now has reached
season of the year, where slower
speeds are maintained, but executives
all over the country fail to see any
sign of disa aster ahead so long as
business continues to run according
to schedule.
The usual bear" stories are com.
Ing into circulation, even though a
decline in activity is seasonal and eX-
pected. The automobile industry is
an example of this. The extra divi
dend of 81 a share declared by Gen
cral Motors was an effective answer to
the pessimistic rumors SO far as that
company was concerned. a new sales
record for Buick cars for the year is
now assured. the 10 months total
having reached 224, ,54i units deliver
ed to owners.
Packard has just delivered handsome
bonuses to old employees ranging from
$50 to $3.50 each according to length of
service, accompanied by a statement
declaring the fiscal year just closed
had been one of the most prosperous
in it's history. Production of some
automobile compa MES, however, un-
doubtedly has fallen off.
Steel production in the various CEN
terS remains at a fairly high rate
despite seasonal declines, which nor
ma1ly should have made their appear
Rnce earlier. Rate of ingot production
in the Pittsburgh district is about so
per cent of capacity. Some slacken
Ing is due to smaller purchases from
automobile manufacturers.
Building contracts awarded in the
first 10 months of this year have been
approximately per cent ahead OF
those of 1925, the previous banner
year. Building activity in November
and December would have to drop q
per cent to bring the years totals
down to the level of 1925. Contracts
let in the last week have been $20,-
900 900 heavier than for this time last
year. Costs are somewhat higher, due
largely to the labor situation. Lumber
is experiencing its seasonal slow
down
Non-ferrous metals have shown an
improvement, and the demand for
copper from Germany has been en-
couraging. Soft coal production con-
tinues higher than domestic needs
warrant, and some authorities feel
bitumnous prices have reached their
top for the present movement, since
those prices IN part represent results
of large speculative purchases and
spectators now are rushing to un-
load.
The entire capitalization of $12 900
900 for the Georgia cotton holding
syndicate, formed to withdraw 300,0 600
bales of Georgia cotton from the
market for - to 20 months, has been
raised by the Atlanta banks and will
become available at once. Similar
success has met efforts to finance
growers to enable them to hold some
of their cotton in other parts of the
South. Bankers say all danger of
psychological depression over low
cotton is past.

DIVIDENDS.

plicated which the average human be.
ing faces. Broadly speaking. it is de-
sirable to get into work that best fits
your tastes and desires. However, it
is we'll to recognize that many are not
equipped with the talent necessary to
bring success in the field where desire
might lead them, but might succeed in
another The problem is to reconcile
desire with competence.
Ambition and Money Making.
Ambition in this country Is too
frequently identified with mere
money making. After a given point
accumulation is unimportant. The
precise point depends on each indi-
viduars determination of how we'll
he wishes to live. After an indi-
vidual has reached this basis and
provided against contingencies,
money making should become less
ing perfection in ones work and rem
dering service to the race.
An individual who. like Prof. Ed
man takes this viewpoint, has suffi-
cient incentive to attain further ad-
vancement, but is not perpetually
sapped Of energy and JOY by invidious
comparisons with the prosperity en-
loved by others. The incomes that
really count are expressed in salts
faction, not in dollars, and each indi-
vidual must set up his own standards
Of value.
On the material side, a man who
has an assured income sufficient TO
meet the wants Of himself and his
family is we'll off. irrespective of the
actual amount of his income in dol
lars and cents. He is succeeding far
better than another individual with
twice as large a money income, who
is living beyond his means. The
average man does not consciously
set up goals to attain. but perhaps
he would heighten his chances for
happiness if he took a leaf from q
philosophers book and did so.
A family with sufficient money In
come to live as well as 1t wishes to
is well TO do.

BULL MOVEMENT CAUTIOUS:
PROFESSIONALS HOLDING SWAY
Strong Market Makes Few Spurts During
Week, But General Position Is Un-
changed-Industrials Are Favorites.

but this will be no more than a sea
sonal decline.
General Motors has furnished a
conspicuous exception in what was an
unfaVorable third quarter for some
other automobile makers. The presi-
dent of the company has stated that
the 81 extra dividend represented, in
the Judgment of the board, not only
satisfaction with existing conditions,
but confidence in the future.
Cotton and Sugar Low.
Two leading commodities, in which
the public is much interested, are sell
ing below cost of production. One is
cotton, the other sugar. But an i'm
pressive illustration has been given of
the economic law. that where prices
fall below the level at which the pro-
ducer can expect a profit, they au-
tomatically approach stabilization. 1t
is realized that a cure must be found
since producers cannot afford indefi-
nitely to operate at a lose.
This cure in the case of cotton will
probably come In a reduced acreage for
the new season. In the case of sugar
it will come partly through a cutting
down of the area under cultivation
and partly through increased con.
sumption stimulated by the abnormal
ly low prices.
The cotton market did not go down
in the face Of the huge estimate Of
nearly 1S,000,000 bales for the 1926
crop. Sugar stocks have risen in the
market, although there have been no
immediate signs of Improvement in
sugar prices themselves. These are
examples of two markets having ad-
Justed themselves pretty we'll to the
worst possible news.
Money Surplus Grows.
During the week further proofs
nave been offered of the piling m
or the money surplus, and this at the
season of the year when under the
old conditions money used to be high.
Rates on time funds and on bankers
acceptances have been reduced to the
lowest in months. The reduction in
the latter is of the most significance
because bankers acceptances are
based fundamentally upon CONNER
cial operations and the inference is
that lowering of these rates reflects
expert opinion that there is to be
nothing like business boom.
n the meantime United States Treas
ury obligations have reached new high
figures for all time, as Liberty bonds
have been going up. This is the re.
suit chiefly Of bankers buying. In
vestors are readily taking new issues,
but they are not inclined to go any
further about bidding up the old-line
Investments, which already are selling
close 70 the top figures Of the year.
