 FEDERAL AGENTS.

NEW YORK.-After firing round caof shots over the heads of sixty men { engaged in unloading five thousand cases of liquor from the oil tanker Raritan Sun today, Federal prohibi- ton agents closed in, seized the li- quor, confscated the tanker and ar- rested the men without resistance.
 The tanker was wharfed at Bush's drydock, Brooklyn. Customs officials valued the liquor at $35O,O0O, and the vessel at $2O0,0O0. Eight trucks, also seized, were valued at $50,000.
 The Raritan Sun,533 tons, is owned by the Sun Oil Company. Charles R. Innis, maritime executive of the Sun Oil Company, Philadel- phia, said the seizure was the result of cooperation between the Federal { Government and the Sun Oil Com- pany. He added that the owners of the vessel were working with the Government to prevent members of the crews from transporting liquors.

The Chinese general has spread his forces out fanwise north of Titsihar, and re ports are that he hopes to advance in case the Japanese withdraw.
 A measure of stability seems 10 have been established in North Man churia in military sense, although subsurface politics are boiling. The Japanese are attempting to extend heir sway into the Harbin- district without fighting, their apparent method being to fill local administra- tive posts with men amenahle to Jap anase influence.

VACATION COST
HIGH AS EVER,
HANEY SAYS
Inflated Prices Still Main
Trouble in All Business,
According to Economist
BY LEWIS HANEY
Director New York University, Bureau
Of Business Research

Director New York University, Bureau
Of Business Research
Looking back at my two weeks
in a little village on Cape Cod, I
am impressed with the thought
that we still have some final re.
adjustments to make.
Frankly my vacation cost just
as much as similar one which
I took two years ago, despite the
decline in wholesale prices. That
can't be right.
Holding 'Em Up
Too many people are still try.
ing to hold things where they
were in 1929. The hotel man in
sisted that his business was as
usual, but I noted that even be-
fore I left the dining room was a
lonely place. There were several
doctors and their families, but
few business men.
MY friend. the oil man, did not
come this year. There was an
automobile dealer, but he had re-
Gently failed, and was staying
only two days. The jewelry store
man from Indiana was on hand
as usual, but he has saved money.
His business back home was at a
standstill, and he said that he
looked for no improvement until
next spring.
Initiation Lingers
MY main point, however, Is
found in the prices Of shore lots
and cottages. These were being
held at the same prices and held"
is good, for there were no sales.
Both the land and the building
charges were too high.
I found one lot which a finan-
cially crippled Boston speculator
would sell at about the price Of
land in my New Jersey town. But
a builder wanted as much IS he
got two years ago. That spoiled
the picture entirely. So left my
address, and said that if any real
bargains turned up I would be
glad to buy.
One Main Trouble
I shook the sand Of Cape God
off my shoes and here we are back
at the old &C IN.
There is just one thing the mat
ter with business. We have not
yet entirely gotten over the infla-
tion period. Initiation brought
speculation, over-spending and high
prices.
These, in turn, brought over
capacity and over-production. Now
the readjustment is not quite COM
pleted. We are getting ready for
recovery, but the process is not
finished.

In an active opening, the mar
