When Lloyd George, who ta known to bo familiar with Ihli incident In Llncoln'a Ufa, met tb representatives o( Ireland, be. imitating Lincoln, con denied into a word or two all that Great frltaln had to offer, ftasognlz the sov ereignty of Oreat Britain aad be loyal t U. then Ireland can have anything else ah aska. This offer was accepted and Ireland Is aoon to b a free state. w something of the spirit -which then possessed Lloyd Oeorgo wilt also Influ ence him ao that ultimately, perhaps, speedily, the political flareup fn farlo Will hav subsided. A trraalatibU Fare. Jn th ear) summer of last year one of the ablest of American business men, who la of long experience In banking, fi nance and constructive undertakings, said that tbl country la bow approach ing a tlm when it will hav need In Washington ant a oar Industries and ag riculture of th ablest brains now In American life. He had In mind, as he said, the irresistible tut not yet recognized force which will inevitably bring the United States to and maintain this ooun try in the position of tba foremost na tion in th world. - Our population la Increasing go rapid ly that th Um la not distant when tha frsaur part of th Ian t the United Lllu which haa never been under cul tivation will be as highly developed in agrlcultur a are the great agricultural atates of th midwest, of th south and of the northwesu Fow people realise the magnitude of our mineral resources. Oreat a has been th; development of tbese re aeurcea, yet the men of expert knowledge say that this development Is only In Its infancy. .Tnla la especially true ef that large sectkm of the south of which Plr . mlngham Is the center. KIchard H. Edmonds, who 1 titor of tfce Manufacturers' Record of Baltimore, has recently received a letter from a man who possesses world vision and who has given 4ep study to the problems of the nations. In thia letter th writer confirms, although from a different point of view, the statement made last summer by one of the greatest individual forces the United States has ever known. Ho says tfcat th year 1822 will Inevitably witness a great Increase in business and, much wider prosperity than this eountry has heretofore enjoyed. Regardless of any treaties or of diplomatio engagements, this expansion of business will 'come and would hav come bad there been no Washington conference. Improvement Certain. There are nearly 10,000,000 persons Mim constitute th population of this vountry. They must live and as nearly ns pc&sibl in accordance with the man lier as le to which they havs-been ac I'ustomed. Therefore, they will demand the thing! that maintain that standard of living. They will get those things by industry end by tarter regardless of the late of foreign exchange and the vari 'ous financial or economic predictions which hav been made. The Irresistible fore which Is In our Inconceivably rich natural resources end the possession of wisdom in the dcvelopr ment of these resources are now recog nised and often spoken of by tho men who hav been giving deep thought to present day conditions. This does not mean that we are to pass suddenly from the period of war depression into an era of very great prosperity. The Im provement will be gradual, these men cay. and It will be all the better because vrailuai Improvement mean permanent Improvement. Already political strategy is under way in New Tork state, having not tho gov ernorship but th United States senator ship In view. Senator Calder, who is now the senior senator from New York, will Undoubtedly be renominated, But demo cratic politics seem to point to ths nomi nation of former . Oovernor Alfred H. Smith as the democratic candidate for United States aenator. Should ex-Qoverr ' nor Smith be nominated that nomination would give the republican organization some anxiety. For it Is remembered that although New Tork state gave a phenom enal majority for the election of Warren Q. Harding aa president. Governor Smith almost overcome that majority and prot ably would have been re-elected had it sot been for the republican tidal wave.

Movements wero narrowly irregular in quiet trading in thj cotton market today. Prices moved up 2 to 15 points from the previous closa soon after th opening, but this gain was not Jield in tho face of pressure from local interests and lack of outside sun port. About mid-day tha active list was steady, 2 up to 2 down, with January off 17 points to 17.66c. As a whole the market displayed a steady undertone tn the afternoon.

A materially stronger undertone wa noted in the world's wheat markets. In the last two days about 7,000,000 bushel: cash grain has changed hands in all positions, includiitsT Canadian, Ar gentine, Australian and domestic wheat. Buying of futures litre and in other markets to remove hedges gave prices an advance of lc early, but tjie finish was on a reaction, with May 5-4C higher and July lie lower for the day. Com was lt(a'it and oats and rye lie higher. Local sentiment changed some wjiat as the result of the firmness in Liverpool, where wheat was up Id, and an advance of 'Ac in pueno Aires. Less was heard regarding pressure of Argentine grain abroad and the large sales for deferred ship ment and on ocean passage was taken as indicating that Europe was commencing to accumulate stocks again. There were numerous reports of a large export business in Manitoba? at the seaboard, with around 1,500,000 to 1,750,000 bushels.said to have been sold to Greec. Break Toward Close. Commission house Wer fslr buyers of the Slay and the local element showed less disposition to take tha sailing side, but toward the last offerings increased and a slightly overbought condition was discussed, resulting in the break from the high point. Around 1,000,000 bushels Msy wheat was bought at Winnipeg 10 remove hedges against sales tu Greece, although mly part of tha order was said, to have been filled. Snow In western Kansas, where moisture Is most needed, more than offset green bug reports from Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, and was responsible for the rela tive weakness in the July. Omsha sold 76.000 bushels hard winter to the gulf and there was a fair domestic milling de mand, with 5.008 hutliels No. 3 -ellow hard sold et 2c. under Msy f. e. ., new billing, equal to 7c under Muy In store for old billing. Total sale aggregated 12, r 000 bushei.s. wjth receipts 15 car., Export Demand Fair. "Export demand for corn continues fair. While no purchases were made for Russian relief, there were sales of zOO.OOO bushels here to the seaboard. Tho tatter reported a large business could be put through, were there any aneurancs that freight room could be obtained. Futures showed a firm undertone In sympathy with wheat and on scattered buying and finished within a fraction of ihe top Country offering were generally held above th market.' and ftonsignAient no tice were smaller.

Cash houses bought May oata and there was also buying of that delivery and sell ing of July at 4v difference. For a while oats showed more strength than other grains, but the activity quickly died out and tho finish was tame. Shipping sales were 100,000 bushels, with receipts 97 cars. Rye fluctuated within relatival? nar row limits, the main Influence being tli action or wneat. export aemana was biow and No. 2 on track was easier at 44o under May. ' ' v Fit Note. An Increase of 40,000,008 bushels in the world's consumption of wheat during the first six months of tha crop year Is shown by statistics complied by A. L. Russell. Estimated disappearance fromi July 1, 1921, to January 16, 1932, is 370,000.80) bushels, against 330,000,000 bushels last year, partly due to ths heavy takings by non Europeans countries. . The trade paid little attention to re ports that a bill had been introduced in congresa to fix a price of 81-60 for wheat to farmers, 85c for corn aud )Sc a pound for cotton. A bullish view of the provision sftu&tion Is taken by Charles Sincere & Co. With tho winter packing season about one-half over and provision stocks light, they would not be surprised to see hogs on a 10a basis by March, unless there Is a big In crease in receipts. Handsome profits are1 being made by feeders of hogs at the prevailing differ ence between hogs and corn. Reports te J. E. Bennett & Co. from Illinois and Iowa feeders showed that eorn fed re cently netted equal to fl pee bushel when the hogs were marketed. In the past few days H Is estimated thet hedges on close to 3,000.000 bushels cash wheat sold for export have been re moved at Winnipeg, and th futures wer secured without any trouble. At -the top yesterday Winnipeg May wss hp 2o from tho jow on Monday. A New Tork exporter had a request for sn offer of J.200.000 bushels No. 3 Manitoba wheat yesterday shipment. Foreign crop report received early lit the day were generally favorable, but later official Indian government cables showed damage to the crop in Bombay, Kbandelalv and the central provinces. Ben gal need rain. Official exports of wheat from Canada during the first four montha of the crop year aggregate 92.022,000 bushels, against 81.840,000 bushels tn 1920. The Price Current Grain BOrter esti mates the number of hogs slaughtered 1n the primary markets of the wast during the week ending January 14 at 721.000, as compared with 456.000 the prevlouse week and 912,000 some week of 1921. Total number elRunhtered during the win ter sesson November 1, 1921 to January 14. 1922. is estimated at 6.385,00(1. s compared avltl) 71,318,000, sam period of 1920-21. Coarse grains are selling too low, based on the price of hog end llveateck nd eompared to th coat of production. In the opinion of well-posted grain men. The hie stock of low grade wheat at Kansas city and the fact there are ap proximately 10.000,000 bushels wheat In store and on track et New Orleans and Galveston tend to mak tb Knsaa City futures relaUvely easy.
