JRioul 2.100,000 tons wss newsprint. n unfjilinsr supply of paper ;b vitally necessary to news Viper J he declared, adding- that nuh lisherf, also realized the importance oif prevention as a mean of sale guarding fores-t lauds. George W. Sisson, jr. of Potsdam, N. V., representing American Paitt-r and Pulp association, emphasized the necessity ot prcsfving Jorests and developing new timber tracts. Dc velopnient of the naner industry in the far west, with great stands of suitable timber, lie Mid, is being re tarded by the cost of rail trausporta tion. Desires Forest Policy. L 'The paper industry has been a leader in asking for a maintained forest policy for the nation," he said. Uur mills represent great invest nicnts. A paper mill cannot follow the forest as it is cut over, as the saw mills have done. Canada's paper in dustry' is growing rapidly because of the wealtli of raw material. Ameri ca must not be permitted to face a future in which its supply of paper would come from foreign lands." He declared that the paper industry did not use more than four per cent of the annual timber cut of the United States, although more than 95 per rent of the paper made in the United States is manufactured entirely or in part from wood. Support of legisla tion providing for the conservation of timber was given by the paper in- ilustry, he asserted, because of a recognition of its relation to the gen eral public welfare. Grand Island Building Trades to Accept Cut Grand Island, Neb., Jam 12. (Spe cial Telegram.) Agreements are re ported to have been reached .with the nWiii body of carpenters., tinners, electricians, plumbers and painters of tlwr city for a general reduction in "Wges of about 20 per cent, begin ning next week, and contractors hope to experience a general resumption of building projects, especially loonies, in the near future, with the effect noticeable at once. - While local prices have been from 10 to IS cents below the high peak in Lincoln and Omaha, they have re tarded building. The rate to be paid will be about 60 to 65 cents fOf car penters and relatively for other lines. No agreement has been reached to cover masonry work,, but ' some re ductions in that line are said to be assured.1 Labor generally' was re ported to prefer a material reduction now, in order to create new building rather than to await spring.

Chicago Trihune-Omaba Ilea) taed Mir. New York,' Jan. 12. In a day marked by continued ease in money, though at unchanged rate, and by further advances in many investment bonds, .the noteworthy incident vrai the ttatenient of the federal reserve. The gain of $20,300,000 by the sys tem's gold reserve, in a week when actual arrivals on import wore light, indicated that the gold, which did rot reach the federal reserve in the Nst half of December, has-been de livered. ( But the striking part of the return U the week's reduction ot $125,000,000 in rediscounts, making S192,000,000 since the end of Decem ber statement, and the week's $11.1.- 000,000 -retirement of note circula tion, niakinp; $132,000,000 in til fortnight. Lowest Since June, lftls. i This reduction brings the system's re discounts to tha lowest figure sines the beginning of June. 1918, and the reserve notes to the lowest sines- September of that year. -As compared with their re spective maximum at the close of 1920 ml tha beginning of 1931, rediscounts nava been rcdured 61 and nolo circulation 33 per cent. This remarkabla chHtigo is a measure of the shift from the wild In flation of trade, prlres and credit In the earlier period to a stats ot "deflation." which hss probably gone below normal. Vnder the machinery of our banking system, It was an automatic process. The 7 per cent reserve bank rate was fixed sa a partial harrier against further and much more dangerous inflstion. That rata could not and did not, of itself. Com pel credit liquidation any more than tho 4 4 per cent rato has been ahls of It self to stimulate credit expansion two facts perversely ignored, not only by our tafarmera blou" but by thos ecoiromlo pro fessors who are trying to induce the strong Eurupesn states to make currency depreciation oi'manent. Reserve) Ratio Higher. What will - be the course of these re serve accounts when trade revives, Is a question which will take care of It self. This week the system's reserve ratio ,'o tn nor rent ncrulnMt 71 U At tha end of i92l. the present ratio now having been reached since the summer of 1917. The New Yerk reserve bank's ratio, near ly 17 per cent compares with a high mark of 84! for 1921 and with 36(4 last February: perhaps the high mark of the country's frosen credits. Today's recovery on the stork market was attihded with much irregularity and business was not active. - Foreign ex change held firm except for a fall in rates on Franco and Germany, connected in each case with the Paris "cabinet crisis." This Is a matter of French politics, whose actual scope and meaning Is unusually hard to guess. No doubt the decline in rates od Germany, expressed misgiving over tho attitude of Brland's political opponents as to cash payments on reparations account. Chicago Livestock. ChlosgO, Jan. 12.
