Broadwater After paying a patronage dividend of 11 per cent to members on their purchases of merchandise and sales of cream, the Farmers' Union Co-Opera- tive association of this place had a sur plus of $1,856.65 from profits of the first vear in business. The association began business a year ago by buying cream. In succession, it added livestock shipping, the handling of grain and a general mer chandise store, all within a few months. The business la conducted with only S2.200 of paidup capital and 11,1,25 of bor rowed money. This is made possible by th method of operation. Grain and live stock are settled for when shipped and the proceeds receives. Tne stock ot merchandise carried Invoices only about 12.000. and was turned 32 times In eight months. Orris Scott, formerly a farmer, is manager. t Report Good Profit.

The sudden decrease in activity on the stock ex. change has been variously ascribed to uncertainty over the course of events in the coal strike, the threatened railway "walk out,", the aeaaiocK in tne various economic negotiations between European governments and the bad effect pro duced on the mind of the Wall Street public by the Mexican Petroleum inciaenr. In the market whose movement or lack of movement summarizes the attitude of the whole financial com munity on all financial development of the day, each of these' causes doubtless had some responsibility for the existing inertia. But back of such considerations has all along stood the tradition of mid-summer as a period of uncertainty between the visible unfolding of the busi ness situation which occurs in spring and autumn. We have had years when a highly promising spring time situation was replaced by dis appointment and reaction in the autumn and we have had years when the summer season merely marked a pause between two seasons of dis tinct and consistent progress in the same direction. Halts In Past. There was such a halt In the mid summer markets of 1919, although the business recovery' of May waa tangibly re sumed in October. The same Interval of uncertainty was observed in 1920, although the industrial liquidation of May became acute in November. Even last year, when the trend of events was fairly clear to tha practiced eye, a series of million share markets during June was succeeded in July by a fall in the dnily average of transactions to 600, 000 in the first week of the month, to 350.000 In the second and to 27i,000 in th third. On the present occasion, the halt In the markets has brought forth some curi ously divergent views about the Impend ing business situation. On the other hand the augaestion has come from by no means irresponsible quarters that even the trade revival which has occurred al ready has gone ahead too fast, "rits counted" too much, and prepared the way, if pushed much further, for unpleasant reaction. Different Views. In other ouarters. equally experienced. the belief has seemedVto prevail' that tha expanding business in a few staple indus tries during the soring Beason. on th basis of genuine demand to build up de pleted eonaumers stocks, th forerunner of wholly legitimate , activity in the autumn. The ground for the first of these theo ries probably la that revival of trade ac tivity on the basis of the present low money rates would contain a large ele ment of speculation; that It might result in forcing up prices of materials and other costs of production, such as labor cost, at a moment when the consuming public's will and power to purchase on a greaty Increased scale does not exist. Hnch miscalculation was at the root of our troubles In 1920 and 1921, when the merchandise produced in hug amounts snd at an extravagantly high cost could not, in the end. be sold at all except by forcing it on the market for whatever It would bring.
