1881 TRADE STATUS
STILL Indefinite
Better Buying of Bonds by Banks
Held One of Hopeful Signs
of Improvement.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 22.-The
visibility Is very low and does not in
crease as week by week we come nearer
the veil that seems to shut off a clear
view of 1881 prospects in business,
commodity or security markets. says
the Business Week in its report COW
ering the week ending November %. A
haze Of uncertainty hangs over the
efforts being made to stabilize COM
modify prices and to secure effective
international financial cooperation
toward restoring confidence Ia long
term investment.
Better buying Of bonds by banks and
apparent accumulation of cheap stocks
by large interests are hopeful signs OF
sterilization In financial markets,
though Wall Street is not yet ready
to discount 1881 business improvement.
Beyond the turn of the year all that
can be seen with reasonable certainty
is improvement in steel under increased
railroad and automotive demand, and
in automobile production as deferred
buying power comes into the market
with the new year sales appeal.
The holiday trade will test general
purchasing power and in face Of cur
tailed production during the rest Of the
year will probably provide the basis for
general quickening Of industrial &C
tivity early next year.

AUTOMOBILE TRADE
IN BETTER POSITION
Factory Heads Are Adjusting
Production to Volume Of
Sales.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, November 22.-Watchers
of the automobile field have noted a
continuance of favorable signs point
ing toward improvement. In getting
under way on new models for 1881,
shipments are in progress and the
working forces Of factories are being
recalled as operations expand.
The course from now until the end
of the year is being carefully plotted
and progress is, therefore, slow in COM
parison with other years, but it is never
theleSS steady. The factory heads,
guided by field surveys, are keeping
production within the actual needs of
distribution. They believe the down.
ward trend soon viii give way to cumu-
lative demand.
In spite of third-quarter reports that
upset the earnings position from the
Showings of the same period one year
ago, the plant officials are maintaining
the forward outlook. The extent to
which this has cut into this years vol
ume, chiefly due to second and third
quarter recessions, Is shown in eSti-
mates that the 1880 output Of all plants
will not exceed 100000 cars. This
clips half q million of the previous
forecasts.
A favorable phase of the country
wide distribution situation is seen in a
compilation which showed that new
cars in the hands of all dealers during
october were approximately $4,000
cars, compared with SAC, 900 in the cor
responding 1929 period From that Is
deduced the fact that output resulting
from the Summer seasonal introduction
Of new models has been absorbed, leav-
ing the field in a position to stock up
against later requirements.

and greedy again. We will spend more
time with our families; we will enjoy
the world more; we will not drive so
hard"
It remains to be seen whether this
mood will last over into the next period
Of good times. We ought to hope de-
voutly that it will. The world has solved
its production problems. With modern
machinery we can make all the goods
that can be consumed, and we can do
1t in fewer hours per day, fewer days
per week.
There is not the same reason for the
terrible drive which has always been
necessary If mankind was to keep a
step ahead of famine and cold. Our
problem from now on Is not how to
more eQuitably and how to train our
minds and souls to enjoy the leisure
which we can have II we are wise
enough to organize it.
A New Problem.
This Is q new problem for the human
race. It requires q new philosophy. The
idle rich, who have achieved leisure, are
not very encouraging examples to us.
They have tough time trying to keep
from being bored. The problem of the
human race for the future Is how to
combine some work and some leisure
in way to make q fuller, richer life.
II we do not solve this problem, but
GO driving ahead as in the past, we
shall merely be making ready for an
other depression. II we do solve 1t, the
depreSSionS ought to be much less Sc
we're, and ultimately disappear.

Banks Strengthen
Cash Reserves as
Assets Show Cain
Position of Sound Institu.
tons Is Declared Best
in Years.

Cash reserves and quick assets are
higher for the banks of the country in
general than they have been in years.
ciers give when questioned as to the
effect that the closing Of some banks
in the Midwest, South and Southwest
will have on the position of companies
and individuals throughout the country.
There can be no question OF the
soundnesS OF the countrywide financial
structure or even of main units OF the
territories directly affected.
Bankers make it plain, however, that,
while there Is probably more money in
the banks Of the Nation than ever be-
fore, it is not in fewer banks. The ex-
panSion in the number OF banks has
been large. In fact, 1t has almost par
alleled the expansion or overexpansion
of production in some of the agr1cul-
tural and industrial fields which now
are feeling the effects Of depression.
Banking Practices.
Many bankers have not hesitated to
say that there are more banks than
there Is profitable business for. This
attitude was expressed even before the
latest increase in numbers announced
by q former controller OF the currency,
who declared there were one-third more
FinancierS say there are good bank
ing practices and bad practices, just as
there are good and bad merchandising
practices. Bad banking policies cannot
survive even in times OF extreme pros
perity, they say, and point to strings OF
failures which have taken place In
periods Of extraordinary business ex-
pansion,
The situation Of some banks at the
moment is attributed to combination
Of bad banking, hard times and frozen
assets. One banker here spoke feeling
" on the subject of frozen assets. He
iikened them to meat In cold storage.
He pointed out that while freezing did
not harm the quality Of the meat, even
If 1t made it difficult to cook at a mo-
ment's notice, a piece of tainted meat,
even If preserved by freezing, was value
less when thawed out. He differenti-
ated sharply between good assets and
bad assets, even though both were IN
cold storage.
Many Improve Position.
The banks of the country have had
q year to clean house and revise their
positions and thaw their frozen assets.
Most of them have taken advantage Of
this and are in a stronger position than
ever before. Moreover, the Federal Re-
serve System was specially organized
and empowered to come to the aid Of
member banks In distress.
The present situation does not
therefore give rise to alarm. The major
banks In the country are sound. A
high percentage of the minor banks
are in strong positions. The only dan
ger to the depositor in general today
is that he may have picked q bank
whose policies are not wisely directed.
These are few and far between. The
only danger the well run bank faces
is panic on the part of depositors.
There Is no cause for panic and no
cause for alarm by depositors, except
in the most isolated cases.

SENATOR GREENE
 PASSES AWAY AT HIS B|R I HPLAcE
Has Been Partly Paralyzed Since Struck by Stray
 Bullet in 1924

ST. ALE Vt. Dec. l8.- Frank L. Green, aged 60 years United States Senator, soldier and editor, died yesterday after her mia operation last Monday. Recov- cry seemed certain until he gradu- ally declined yesterday and passed away early in the evening.
 Senator Greene has been partly paralyzed since 1924 when he was struck by a stray bullet in a gun fight between bootleggers and Pro- hibition agents in Washington, D. c.
 Senator Greene was born here February 10, 1870. He worked on a railroad in his early life, then en- tered the newspaper ranks working up from reporter to Editor of the St. Albans Daily Messenger. He served in the Spanish American War. He was married and the father of three children.
 Senator Greene was first elected to Congress in 1912 and has served continuously since. He was a Re- publican.

JOBLESS RELIEF MACHINE RUNS
 LIKE WARTIME GROUPS OF IT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-Unem- ployment relief machinery set up only a few weeks ago is running
 in a well-oiled groove with a mini mum of wasted motion. Through the emergency commit
 tee for employment created by
 President Hoover and headed by
 Col. Arthur Woods, rags and tatters
 of the unemployed from all parts of the land gradually are being as- simulated into an organized pattern
 of relief.
 Scenes in the 16 rooms com mandeered in the department of commerce building resemble those of war days in 1917.
 The personnel of 57 workers as- sembled overnight is working at top speed.
 Under an orderly regime of neat
 files, noiseless typewriters and nut ed telephone bells, yellow and
 white slips of paper, many of them
 flags of distress, are being routed along proper channels.
 Requests for work are relayed promptly to local agencies cooper ating with the emergency commit tee. Suggestions for alleviating the situation are turned over to the planning committee. The telephone rings in the of flee of Edward Eyre Hunt, assistant to Chairman Woods A secretary answers in a low tone while her eyes scan a telegram just received. The office fills with men to see MT. Hunt
 Like Colonel Woods and Mrs Lil- lian Gilbreth, in charge of the women's division, Hunt is quiet and works with no lost motion. He seems to personify the ap- parent aim of the emergency com mittee-to get things done quickly but correctly
 At first we were deluged with requests for work" Hunt says. Many persons seemed to have the idea that we could supply jobs here.
 Our part is to coordinate and stimulate the various relief agen- cies all over the country and get them to take care of the situation in their territory.

 Using 100 as the index number for prices prevailing in 1926, the wholesale price of all commodities dropped to 826 in October this year
 Figured another way, the 1926 dollar had a purchasing power Of $1.21 a few weeks ago. In October, 1929, the same dollar would buy only $1.O3 worth of goods.

ENGLAND SEEKS CURE
 FOR HABITUAL CRIME

LONDON, Dec 18.-Minute an- alysis of the problem of treating habitual offenders is proposed by J. R. Clynes, the Home Society Secretary, with a view to altering present methods of dealing with this class of criminal.
 Clynes said no definite scheme would be carried out, but that the subject would be considered from all angles. He had great hopes that the inquiry would uncover better methods of dealing with these of lenders than those now employed.
 We are conscious Clynes added, "that simply sending to prison men who repeatedly commit offenses is a costly and nonreformatory pro- cedure. It is useless to spend mon- ey on mere acts of punishment that are not curative, and do not re- form"
 The Home Secretary said that he had no doubt that the medical and pathological sides of the question would be fully considered by the committee. He attached much inn portance to this phase of the prob- lem.
 The larger part of England's prison population was made up of men who committed minor offenses he said, and this would doubtless be given due weight in the inquiry
