w. B. Hibbs Is Outstanding
Figure in Finance

For AZ years the New York
Stock Exchange firm of w. b.
Hibbs & Co. has been an outstand-
ing institution in the t1nanclal
field of Washington. There is no
better known man conneced with
the local business world nor one
who is better respected than w. b.
Hibbs, senior member Of the firm.
Mr.. Hibbs makes a forceable i'm
preston on everyone he meets.
He has a pleasing personality and
is a master of the subject Of
finance. He is looked upon as the
outstanding authority in Shis sec
ton of the country on business
and commerce and has been con-
suited on national financial Lrob-
lens on numerous occasions.
Although there are older men
in the game here than Mr.. Hibbs,
he is regarded by many as the
dean of all local financiers. Due
to his success in the business
world and his many decisions
which have shown his foresight,
he is looked upon as a canny
trader-a man one wants on his
side and respects greatly if he is
an opponent on a business deal.
Many years ago an 18-year, old
boy entered the service of a
brokerage firm. That was the

come a powerful figure in finan-
cial affairs. He invested the

Ralph S. Kent, president, and
w. C. Evans, chairman of the
board of directors of the Ward
Baking Company, were removed
from their posts last night at a
meeting of stockholders of the

coincident with that of all but

that the outlook of the shoe
trade is encouraging. 1t says
that shoes fit into definite sea-

Many merchants placed a rush
on orders for four weeks delivery,
following the January shows, but
the search for combinations Of
materials makes evident flexible
delivery dates and many disap-
pointments. The late spring and
Easter selling will necessitate a
manufacture of at least $4,000, 900

Irregular seasonal gains con-
tinue to appear in business. There
is certainly nothing to get excited
about, either bullishly or bear
ishly. But it can be said that a
little seasonal quickening of the
business pulse is to be detected
here and there.
This is all that should be ex-
pected at present. Only the over
optimistic will be disappointed.
Such persons have not been saying
as much as last year at this time,
but even now there is some indica-
ton that optimistic hopes have
outrun the actual performance OF
business thus far in 1881.
Railway car loadings seem to be
doing about as well as usual for
the season. AS nearly as we can
tell from the weekly gueSSes at
steel production activity. January
steel output may about equal the
November rate, which would be a
good seasonal gain over December.
Caution in Auto Trade
The automobile industry is pro-
ceeding with great caution. Some
concerns show fair increases,
others not. On the whole, dealer
sales still seem quite backward.
Measured by the volume of
checks drawn, trade in the week
ending January 81, was 3 per
cent below the preceding week
and "a per cent below year ago.
In general we can say that,
while business continues to run
much below the levels of a year
ago. it does not seem to be falling
further behind the earlier figures.
Further Commodity Break
The least favorable aspect is
found in the commodity price sit
uation. Last week the Fisher and
the Annalist weekly price indexes
fill to, new lows. A majority of
the changes in a long list Of basic
commodities were downward. So

Frozen Prices Are Held
Trades Big Problem

We have to admit that the pres
sure of supplies still exceeds the
demand in most markets.
This seems to be true in other
countries, as foreign price indexes
were also lower.
Buyers are going to be hesitant
until commodity prices settle
down and get stabilized. The
fact is that the decline in prices
of commodities has been very ir-
regular-juSt as with stocks. Some
are plenty low enough. Others
are out of line, and in such
cases buyers hold off. They re-
member how wool, lead, caustic
soda and others slumped after
having been held up while others
declined.
Some buyers think that lead,
steel bars, furniture, automobiles,
shoes and certain chemicals have
not yet come down in proportion
to the general level. Naturally,
they hesitate to buy.

frozen prices" together with
frozen bank loans) are our chief
business problem Just now. If
business men would center atten-
ton on getting their commodities
on liquidating basis, they could
stimulate business
Means Taking Losses
This would mean some writing
down of inventories and some
losses to be taken. But the
quicker it is done, the sooner we
will get set for a new start.
The president of one of the big
mail order houses has just stated
that his new catalogue cuts prices
20 per cent to 40 per cent. He
says:
Recognizing the importance
of the movement in prices, we
deliberately delayed production
of the catalogue to allow our
buyers to take the fullest ad-
vantage of the downward trend
in wholesale prices"
SO you see my argument u not
mere theory.

Farmers National Grain Cor

Million Bushels Of Grain

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Jan.
% G.N.SO.-Since its organiza-

National Grain Corporation has
handled over 100000 bushels OF
grain, thus becoming the largest
grain concern in the United
States, Sam r. McKelvie, wheat
member of the Federal Farm
Board, told the Missouri Farm
Bureau Federation here today.
In addition to this, he said, the
member co-operatives of the cor
poration have handled many mil
lions of bushels.
Act AS Sales Agents
"MOst of this grain was
originated by the cooperative
members of the corporation,
McKelvie said. "The latter acts
as sales agent for the CO-Opera-
tive, merchandising the grain
through regular channels, and
secures for its members all of
the benefits and profits that
accrue from warehOuSing, i'm
proving the grades and mer.

ers, who compose the member.
ship of the cO-OperativeS.
No Congestion
There has been no cOngeS-
ton or embargOes at terminal
markets, despite the fact that
carryOver and deliveries of
wheat were the largest in the
history of the country. The
Farmers National Grain Cor
poration is on the market
every day competing for the
farmers grain at the highest
practical prices consistent with
demand.
During the heaviest market
ing period the spread, or carry.
ing charge between the cash
and futures on wheat was ap-
prOximately so per cent less
than the year before. This
represented an immediate say.
ing of several cents per bushel
to the farmer, for the carrying
