THIRTEEN years after the armistice
civilization is not sure of itself. The
ideals to which some of us pledged our
selves are not fulfilled.
AS the years pass the dangers seem to
thicken, and we are all on edge with ap-
prehension. Humanity is at the cross
roads of an unknown land, and we have
no sure guides. Yet some of us still go
on hoping in the only quality which has
ever saved mankind from its perils and
disasters. 1t is the hope that intelligence
will master stupidity, the hope that the
spirit will overcome brute force, the hope
that there is some virtue in us to defeat
evil.
I am optimist enough to believe that
there is enough common intelligence in
the world to unravel this economic tangle
in which we are coiled and that good will
Is enlarging its domain. The spirit moves
above the machine, and in spite of all
that death 10 years ago, it will produce
new leaders Of life in the next adventure
which awaits us.

SIGNS OF BUSINESS
P|Ck-UPs ARE seen
Automobile Industry Expect.
ed to BE One of First
in Recovery.
BY BRADLEY w. TRENT.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December s.---While
the basic industries of the country con-
tinue to report somewhat clouded busi-
ness horizons, here and there a ray OF
sunshine cuts through the shadows.
Although United States Steel Cor
poration is expected to report a drop
in untitled tonnage Thursday, the steel
industry shows signs of Improvement.
The American Iron and Steel Institute
reported for November the first i'm
provement in ingot production since last
March, which caused plants to operate
an average OF 30.01 per cent Of capacity
tober.
Wire Price Advance.
The rise Of 81 ton In most wire
products for the first quarter of 1882
Is now quite general, checking price
related products. Judged by reports Of
increasing specifications, from United
States Steel as well as others, con-
sumers inventories are unusually small
at the moment Smaller automotive
buying and the notable absence of pur-
chaseS from the railroads during No
vember more than offset increased
specifications elsewhere, with the re-
suit to be seen In United States Steel,s
untitled tonnage figures.
Untn the financial plight of rail-
roads Is relieved little buying can be
expected from them, but some lines of
the automotive industry will have to
increase raw material requirements dur
ing 1882. The truck manufacturers In
Sist that trucks have been repaired and
patched SO much In 1881 that many will
have to be replaced during the coming
year, and this also applies to passenger
cars.
The automobile Industry is bound to
be one Of the first lines to reflect q
general quickening of trade. The 1881
production Of 2,500 900 cars Is less than
normal and reflects the extent to which
buying power has been held back.
Dealers stocks are small. The used
car situation Is In q good statistical po-
sition. On the basis of present pro-
duction schedules December output
should be about two-thirds larger than
the $4,000 cars produced during Mo-
vemher. If the new models meet with
favorable reception, automotive out
put will turn upwards In the next few
months and lift with it many allied
lines
The chemical industry, another of the
6ACdt UdSSiC BuSlucSSCS VI Lie country,
presents confused picture that win
clear as soon as general trade picks up.
In appraising chemicals, however, It
must be remembered that some Of the
price reductions now being announced
for 1882 reflected belated price Adjust
ments to general commodities or
changes that would have been made
long ago II these products had not been
sold on an annual basis.
Alcohol Advance Expected.
In industrial alcohol q general ad-
vance is expected. owing to mergers and
agreements against rutnous price cut
ting and as a result Of of1cial regula-
tions. Calcium chloride, widely used in
laying dust on roads, In refrigeration
and In the production Of anti-freesing
solutions, win be so cents to 81 ton
lower In 1882.

Copper Company Dividends.

NEW YORK, December 8 Especially -
Dividends on three copper company
stocks were reduced today. The one
that affected the largest body Of share
holders was that of the Kennecott.
which was reduced from an annual
dividend basis of 81 to SO cents a share.
Nevada Consolidated's dividend was
halved and that of Utah Copper re-
duced from Sc to 81 a share. Holders
of copper company stocks have been
hit harder as class than any other
group. for where dividends have not
been omitted, as In the case Of Ana
eonda, they have been reduced to nom
tnal proportions.

BONDS DEPRESSED
TO new LOW MARK
Heavy Offerings of Railroad
Issues Drag Market
Down.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 9.-The bond
market came under heavy pressure to-
day and prices dropped rapidly to new
lows for the bear market. Trading was
In heavy volume.
Apart from 8 few foreign issues af-
fected by special factors, the whole list
opened lower. While expected, the
omission of the New York Central COM
mon dividend, when viewed In the light
of dividend reductions or omissions by
five other railroads, apparently had not
been sufficiently discounted and there
were heavy offerings of rail bonds.
While New York Central bonds were
most actively traded-there are ST.
049 900, 900 of them outstanding
were no weaker than other issues, New
York Central refunding SIS made new
record low, of more than points on
the day. So did the refunding 4Has,
the debenture As and IS and the con-
solidated As. West Shore IS, q bond
guaranteed by the New York Central,
declined 4 points to q new bottom for
the bear market. Virtually all other
rail bonds followed the decline. Even
the high-grade Atchison general As
were off point to new low. Norfolk
81 Western As, Union Pacific first As
and Chicago, Burlington 81 Quincy is
sues were not exempted. Great North
ern rs lost az points.
In the lesser rated list, Missouri Pa
cif1c SIS lost l to 8 points. Nickel Plate
4hs, 5l2s and IS slid to points.
Erie SIS, International Great Northern
adjustments, st. Paul adjustments, st.
Paul SIS, Chicago 81 Northwestern 4As,
Baltimore 81 Ohio convertible 41hs, Al
leghany Corporation IS and Rock Is
land convertible 4lzs were all at new
minimum prices.
Bonds were lower at the opening,
with the exception OF a few foreign
dollar issues.
Japanese dollar descriptions were a
point higher and German government
bonds were fractionally higher. The
market viewed as constructive the
drastic measures instituted by the
Reich government to attain financial
stability.
In the domestic list, rails we're under
pressure The omission and reduction
OF dividends by the Missouri Pacific
and the Texas 6 Pacific started the
lower trend. Missouri-Pacific SIS were
on point. Erie SIS, Nickel Plate 4l5s.
international Great Northern adjust
ments and other speculative rails were
an lower. Industrials such as United
States Rubber SIS, Dodge Brothers Is
and Goodyear IS were heavy. United
States Government long-term issues
were steady after Tuesdays weakness.

LOCALIZED CANDY
SALES SHOW GAIN
Change In Marketing Policy
Indicated by Report of
Commerce Department.

Candy manufacturers of the United
States are lending more and more ef-
fort to concentrating sales In their
own territory.
A survey just completed by the
Commerce Department discloses that
80 per cent Of the 1885, ,6o0,0o pounds
of candy marketed during 1890 was
supplied by makers within the State
where 1t was consumed. This COM
pares with the preceding years record
of 30 per cent of the total supplied by
local sources.
This increase, 1t is pointed out, while
amounting to only per cent OF the
Nations total confectionery consump-
ton, represents 10 per cent gain in
the quantity locally produced and con-
sumed. Furthermore, 1t was said, It
reverses a movement In the opposite
direction which has been noticed n
recent years.
The department views the trend to-
ward larger scale sales as an exam
Pile of the application Of results Of
Nationwide market and cost research
to the problem of more efdcient mar
ketings and elimination Of distribu-
ton waste.
A recent cost study of the industry
made by the department emphasized
the possibilities of waste in over-ex-
tended selling Firms exploiting ter
ritory at long distances from the point
of manufacture were generally found
to be realizing unsatisfactory profits,
while In numerous instances losses
were being incurred.
Many items, it pointed out, owing
20 the nature of pack and the size
of order, showed losses In distant ter
ritories, whereas the same item SINH
larly packed would show profit in
nearby territory. Freight and express
charges of the candy makes studied
had an average range Of Is per cent
to Al per cent of gross sales, whereas
IN some territories such charges were
found to run as high as 1s per cent
OF sales.
