Visiting Barristers Guests
At White House Fete

largest and certainly quite the
gayest staged at the White
House this summer. The visit
ing legal lights were obviously
enjoying themselves and the
local notables, for practically
everyone in town included in
official and residential society
was present seemed to be hav-
ing as equally pleasant time.
In the crowd one Spied,

dignitaries: Vice President
Curtis, with Mr.. and Mrs. Ed

dor, Sir Ronald Lindsay. was
also a guest, his tall figure
looming above the crowd as he
made his way across the lawn.
Black and White
Mrs. Stimson wore a costume
of black and white figured chif-
fon, its skirt dipping gracefully,
and smart black hat. With
the Secretary, she had come on

Hubert, in the AdirondackS, to
attend yesterdays party, and to
be, themselves, hosts to the
visitors at garden party at
Woodley, their gorgeous old eS-
tate on Cathedral Avenue, this

this afternoons fete she and
the Secretary expected to re-
turn to st. Hubert's to remain

operating during recent months.
the Bank of Montreal states in its
current review.
"The grain movement re-
mains slow, shipments from the
port of Montreal having fallen
since May / upward Of TO-
OOO,OO bushels below last sea-
son. Car IOadings have not yet
definitely turned upward, bank
clearings do not expand, and
unemployment does not appear
to diminish.
Crops, upon the extent of
which general trade greatly de-
pends, are coming on favorabIy
in many sections. In som
parts of the prairie provinces
conditions of growth are quite
favorable, but in others ade-
quate moisture has not been
obtained, and adverse weather
has wrought injury. Prospects,
however, are promising for a
larger crop than last year in
the western provinces. In the
central and maritime provinces
there is likely to be a good
average harvest.
THE recession in prices of all
their products has reduced the
purchasing power of farmers
and contributed materially to
the quiet state of general bust
ness; this year the initial nav.

unSaleable at a profit. Thus,
it appears that any important

be considered q remote proba-

The principal effects of a con-

mote relatively quicker but less
spectacular reversal in the trend.
"A normal program Of hand
tO-mOuth buying, however should
not be confused WITH the gen.
eral tendency toward curtailed
buying, which has prevailed
during the current business re-
ceSsiOn. 1t is generally conceded
that during recent months,
dealers in merchandise have cut
their buying to such levels as
to reduce stocks below the mini
mum required to carry on
normal volume of business.
Without doubt, this tendency
has contributed substantially to
price concessions in cOmmod.
tiles. AS the necessity of re
pleniShing abnOrmally depleted
stocks becomes more general
in all branches of distribution
it may logically be expected
that curtailment of buying will
gradually be succeeded by the
usual program of hand-tO-mOuth
buying, which might now be
termed the normal method of
merchandising. When this trans
itiOn occurs, there will be q
healthy inventory condition,
resulting in a sound basis for

Surrey ShoUs Cutting of
CurtaiI Buying

Curtailed buying, which has
marked the current business reces-
sion, soon should disappear and
be replaced by a normal program
of hand-to-mouth buying, such as
has prevailed for approximately
the last 10 years, according to
Gage P. Wright, New York bust
ness and investment counselor,
writing in the latest issue Of the
Business Economic Digest.
Mr.. Wright says:
I'm attempting to draw any
general conclusions regarding
the rapidity with which an up
ward movement in business may
proceed once it is definitely es-
tabliShed, it becomes necessary
that one consider carefully the
probability of a continuance of
hand-tO-mOuth buying. This
form of buying has continued
for about a decade and its
prevalence is considered one of
the greatest economic changes
OF recent years.
There appears to be ample
evidence that the policy of
hand-tO-mOuth buying has come
to stay. There are three infIu-
ences which cOaceivabIy might
induce the accumulation of large
stocks of goods. These are ~
the fear that delivery of goods
will be delayed in transit, (2)
the expectation of sharply ad-
vancing prices, and (3) the fear
that manufacturers will be un-
able to make prompt deliveries
because of insufficient prOduc-
tive capacity. Since these influ-
ences are absent, the merchant
cannot be expected to buy in
large quantities and borrow
money in order to pay for sur

GUARANTY SEES
TRADE REVIVAL

Recent declines in inventories
and current strength in the stock
market ar construed by the Guar
anty Trust Company as being Sug-
geStionS of an upturn in business
in the not distant future.
The business recession, which
has continued during the past few
weeks, is attributed as being
largely due to the influences that
usually cause curtailment in mid
summer.
Reviewing the trend of general
business. the Guaranty Survey.
published by the Guaranty Trust
Company. today says:
'When demand is slow there
is q natural tendency on the
part of manufacturers to allow
their operations to sink to very
low levels at time Of seasonal
dullnesS.
with the mid-year inventory
period just past and the vaca-
tiOn season at its height, it was
not to be expected that June
and July would witness other
than downward tendencies.
Such influences will, i'm all prob
ability, continue TO dominate the
situation during the coming
month.
Expansion of industrial out
put and trade volumes will
proceed gradually, with set
backs from Iime to time as it
! appears that demand in various
lines has been OvereStimated.
In general, however, the rising
trend of business will result in
more employment and larger
payrOllS, with a greater aggre-
gate amount of purchasing
power available for the buying
of consumers goods. The re-
Sulting increase in consumption
will, in turn, further stimulate
trade and industry.
"All this, of course, represents
. slow and irregular process
covering q period of many
months. The most reliable in
dicatiOn of improvement in the
underlying SituatiOn-namely, a
definite upturn in commodity
priceS-haS not yet appeared,
but recent declines in inven-
tories of manufactured goods
and advances in stock prices
suggest that such an upturn
may reasonably be expected in
the not distant future.

CONTEST FOR IMPROVING
YARDS-GARDENS IS BEGUN
Oakland Civic Club Will SpOn-
SCR Contest for Beautifying
Properties of Citizens

That yard and garden improve
ment contest would be conducted by
the Ookland Civic club was announced
yesterday by Miss Lottie Loar, presi-
dent of the club, following a
special meeting held Tuesday after
noon. All residents of Oakland will
be eligible to compete for prizes for
the best garden and the most i'm
provement in their yards during the
summer months, it was stated. Mrs.
A. L. Lee has been named chairman
of the committee in charge.
The contest is being held in the
hope that Oakland citizens would i'm
prove their properties by planting
flowers and shrubbery, and cleaning
up their premises. To make Oakland
more attractive is the ultimate goal of
the club.
All who desire to enter the contest
are to notify the Civic club. There
will be judges appointed who will
visit three times the places to be
beautifed, once before planting, once
during the season, and once at the
end of the growing season. The judi
ges will be impartial in their selec-
ton of the winners and appropriate
prizes will be awarded at the con-
clusion of the contest.
The contest is being held locally
this year, but according to Miss Loar,
it will become countrywide in scope
next year, and will thereafter become
permanent fixture on the program
of the club.
Fifty cents is being offered to any
person who sends in winning slogan
to be used in conducting the contest.
Anybody is eligible to compete.
Everybody is urged to send in his
application, and to start Immediately
in planting and identifying.
