THE BULB BUSINESS

The bulb interests are having a merry time of 1t developing a new American industry" particularly in the South. The federal government came It its assistance in a handsome manner by declaring an embargo against narcissus bulbs from Europe, on the score that they brought some species Of insects into the country. Of course, this was mere camou- flage; what was intended was to put up a sort of tariff wall-one which could not be scaled-in order to enable the native growers to get theirs out Of the public.
 The immediate result, of course, will be increased prosperity among the bulb growers of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and such other states where flowers grow easily for long parts of the year.
 Northern dealers in bulbs have been opposed to the embargo. They do not like the idea of being forced 10 buy their bulbs in a restricted market. They much prefer to inn port their bulbs from Holland. But they are helpless In face Of the action of a paternal government eager to develop home industries. Meantime the bulb embargo ha: done no good in stimulating ami cable relations with Holland. The | Dutch claim there are no insects II their bulbs-that all bulbs arc thoroughly inspected and sterilizet before being shipped.
 The bulb embargo Is too drastic | Prices are bound to go up to suct | heights as to discourage the sale of the product. That Is what the northern dealers most fear. But the principle is the same as in other l lines of trade-warding off compe. tition in order to develop baby in. dustries invariably results in a high. ly protected market, high prices ant | less consumption.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Financial and economical observ- CTS are agreed that the trend of business this autumn will be all that can be desired. This apparent ly is not being said because the ob- servers want to say that, but be- cause it is the result of calm think ing and the consideration Of sta- tistical data.
 Curiously enough, one Of the reasons which six months ago were regarded with suspicion is now given as a prime cause of an even-running prosperity.
 It will be remembered that many manufacturers last spring were of the opinion that the retail trade was buying too much on the "hand-to- mouth" principle-that is to say large stocks were being purchased, but just enough to keep establish mcnts going.
 This was regarded as an evil at that time, the practice for years having been for retailers to stock up on goods to the limit of their credit. | When they took to a more conserNa- tive attitude it did not meet with the approval Of many manufactur- CTS who thought their output would be curtailed.
 But it seems that none of the dire forcbodines came into realization business went on as before, and now the entire business fabric Is well accustomed to a steady-flowing output, with stocks invariably low and the turnover satisfactory.
 The result is that the entire busi, ness fabric is on safer basis thar formerly was the case. When a tenn porary slowlown occurs there ar' no huge aggregations of goods or shelves and in cellars to intcnsif! the situation; and when the consum CT demand increases. as it usual! does, the manufacturers hear of i quickly, instead of waiting until ac cumulatcd stocks cyaporate.
 Instead of being . bad thing, mort careful and prudent buying seem lingly has helped all. Goods are pro duccd in just about sufficient quan Ititics to fill the consuming demand ! and 10 date that has been quite suf ficiont 10 keep the mills reasonabl, busy-with some exceptions-anc leads to the outlook of a very sat l isfactory fall season.

 At the American Legion conven- tion he came nearer recognition than he heretofore has when one of the veterans told him he remembered him as a marine with the Sixteenth company Fifth Regiment of Ma rines. He could go no further, how ever. And Tarhot remembered going into action with a group of men led by Lieutenant Robinson" But whether he was regularly attached to the command or simply joined it as a survivor Of another unit he does not know.
 It is more than probable Tarbot has a mother alive somewhere in this country who is grieving for her lost son. Perhaps she knew of him only listed as missing on the official casualty lists, and perhaps she still hopes that her son will turn up after all. Tarbot may be the son of a Kansas farmer. New England manufacturer, a denizen of the poor CT quarters of some big city, or any one Of the many types of parents who contributed their male children to the cause of democracy nine years ago. He may be a millionaire in his own right, there may be a wife and child awaiting him instead of a mother. The possibilities are numerous, and fascinating to con- lecture upon.

A CHANGE IN THE BUILDING SITUATION

officials at the office of the City Clerk and others, according to statement made to the press, have noted a falling off in the normal number of building permits and an increase in the amount Of mortgages, with a lessening Of warrantee deeds during the past month, from which thev deduce that the building situ- alton in the city Is easing up from the high tension which has been hanging over 1t for several years. There is no cause for appre- bension over the fact, if it continues to be true, that the number of struc- lures being erected here Is lessen ing. and the transfers of property are becoming fewer. Certainly the conditions of the years since the war could not continue indefinitely with out reaching far beyond the polnt where it might prove unsafe to in vest In realty or build home. If far too many houses were built there would be a decrease In realization value after the supply exceeded the demand that would hurt many an investor appreclably.
 But New Britain is not, at the present time, hopelessly overbullt' even though it seems as though much construction has been goine on. In proportion to the population the number of homes Is not any greater than 1t was several years ago. Of course, during the firs' years of the war the demand TOT New Britain's products was great and that demand brought into the city a large number Of workers swelling the population very quick lv. There were not enough homes to 20 around. Steps were taken te
 
 remedy the difficulty, largely oS nriyate capital which was put lne' the realty and construction markets The war ceased but there was SUI a big demand for New Britain pro duct. and the workers rema'he' here. Building continued at a heaV. rate to assimilate the new famiile and 1t has been doing so practlcaIl' ever since.
 Itappears that it has now r0ach ed point where there are adeqna' housing facilities, not because " have lost in population but becaus we have so rushed the building pro gram that we are temporarily u with the demand. There is Il cause for alarm in the situauor rather a cause for the feeling tha things are as they should be. Man merchant measured his post-"a business against that done durin the height of the buying po"e brought about by wartime wages | nroducers and felt that he was losin money because his turnover wa smaller than 1t had been. He wa not Justified In this feeling, how ever. his business had merely re turned to normal. It appears tha the same situation now exists reality.
