CHAPTER VI.
W hen Jimmy Rabbit reached horn*,
after leaving the house of Belinda
Bunn; s mother, he unwound the last
of Mrs. Bunny's yarn from about his
waist just a few steps from his own
mother's door. Then he went inside
and got a bite to eat. And then lie
went off to find Belinda Bunny and
have a good time playing in the
snow.
Now, it happened that Jimmy Rab
bit's mother had been meaning to
pay a cull on Mrs. Bunny that day.
.Soon after Jimmy started forth on
his search for Belinda, his mother put.
on her shawl and set out for
Belinda's home.
She hadn't (tone more than six
jumps before site noticed some pretty
red yai n that seemed to stretch on
and on into (ho woods.
Mrs. Rabbit was delighted with her
find. She promply decided to make
h"r call some other day. And turning
about, she hurried back to her house
to get her knitting needles. She had
had an idea. She would use that yarn
to knit Jimmy a pair of icd mittens
fo’’ Christmas!
Mrs. Rabbit 'pent a very pleasant
afternoon, knitting in the woods. For
three days, after that, she seized every
moment that she could steal for her
housework, to go and knit upon the
mittens Hint she hud begun for her
son. She was getting on famously,
until there earne a heavy snow. She
had ju-t finished one mitten. And
when She went into the woods to start
its male she couldn't find the end of
Hie red yarn anywhere. It was buried
under the snow.
Of course Mrs. Rabbit was disap
pointed. "1 can't give Jimmy the
miUms for Christmas,” she thought.
ill'-ilr]
Til so right home ami gat It now.”
“At least. 1 oaii’t give litem to him
this year. Hut next spring, when
tlie snow metis. I'll look for that yarn.
And then I can knit the other mit
ten and have the Y>air ready for
Christmas next year.”
Then Mrs. Rabbit remembered that
•lie had meant to pay a rail on Belinda
Bunny's mother. So site set out once
more for Mrs. Bunny's house. Ami
this time slut found nothing to stop;
her.
Mrs. Bunny was very triad to see
tier. They had a good chat, anti a
luncheon of hark. And then Mrs.
Bunny brought out her knifing bag
and pulled out one red mitten from
it.
'‘Seel” site said. “Isn't this a pretty
mitten? I was knitting a pair for my
daughter, ltut when this! big snow
came T had to stop."
Mrs. Babbit thought that was odd.
lint she said nothing, except to praise
the beautiful mitten. She looked at
it very closely. It seemed to her that
il was the exact shade of red as the
one she had made for her son. Jimmy.
“I'm going to make the mate to it
next spring,” Mrs. Bunny remarked.
“Well, that's queer!” Mrs. Rabbit
exclaimed. “I made a mitten just
like that for my son. But when the
snow came 1 had to stop.
They stared at each other for a
few moments. And ihen they both
spoke at the same time.
••Why did you have to stop'.’” each
asked the other.
“Because the snow buried the j
•yarn,” each answered.
“This is very peculiar,” said Mrs. |
Bunny, shaking her head.
“It’s the strangest thing I ever
heard of Mrs. Rabbit declared.
And then they explained. Mrs.
Bunny told how Jimmy Rabbit had
run off—or spun off—with her yarn
wound about his waist. Mrs. Rabbit
related how she hart found some yarn 1
in the woods, not far from her own
doorway.
Mrs. Bunny now lost her pleasant
smile. In fact she looked quite sour.
“It is very plain," she said in an
Icy voice, “that you used my yarn to
knit your son a mitten.”
“I'm afraid that's a fact." Mrs. j
Rabbit admitted.
“Then what—" said Mrs. Bunny— j
“what, if 1 may make so bold as to :
ask, do you intend to do about the ;
matter?"
Mrs. Rabbit couldn't help feeling
very uncomfortable. She didn't
know what she could do. And then
all at once she had a happy thought.
"I'll give you the mitten that 1 !
kniti" she cried. "I’ll go right homo |
and get it now.”
•Oh. don't do that:" Mrs. Bunny,
exclaimed. But sho hold the door |
open for her guest. And she kept i
watch, out of the window, until Mrs.
Rabbit returned.
“Here it is!" said Mrs. Rabbit as
sho came hurrying into Mrs. Eunnv'r, ]
house once more.
Mrs. Bunny snatched the mitten
out of Mrs. Rabbit’s paw and laid it
upon the one she had knit herself.
"They're exact mates,” she de
clared. “But it's a shame to take
this mitten." However, she thrust
the pair quickly into her bag.
"Oh! I don't mind." said Jimmy
Rabbit's mother. "I love to knit."
"Do you?" said Mrs. Bunny.
"Then maybe you'd like to knit a
nightcap for my husband."
Mrs. Rabbit coughed. When sho
caught her breath again she said
that, much as she liked to knit, she
was afraid she wasn't a good enough
knitter to please Mr. Bunny.
"Oh! He won't mind how It looks,”
Mrs. Bunny assured her. “Just make
It warm enough and it will be sure
to suit him.”
But Mrs. Rabbit shook her head.
"I'll give you the yarn.” Mrs.
Bunny offered generously.
But Sirs. Rabbit couldn't be persu
aded.
"I'm too poor a knitter," she con
fessed. “to do any knitting for any
body outside my own family."

Mrs. Barker gave a short little
laugh at the end of the steady gaze
with which she had listened to the
hurried recital of my dilemma. But
there was no hostility in the laugh
and I took heart even before she
spoke slowly, incisively, but with dis
tinct approval In her tones.
"I've seen a good many kinds,"
she said, cryptically, "but you beat
them all. You've got everything fig
ured out to tlie last hair pin, haven't
you? But that's the only way to do,
and—well. I'll help you straight
through this moss, for that's the
only name for it- I only hope that
1 nsband of yours has sense enough to
appreciate what you are doing."
I flushed resentfully at this refer
enc to Dicky, but 1 prudently kept
my lips closed and my lips serene. 1
could not afford to offend her. She
was my only chance of eluding Dr.
Pettit, speeding toward Dicky with
half mad vengeance in his heart.
"First, the telephone," she began, \
checking on her fingers. "There’s one
right here, but I think you'd better
go to the station. There are too many
listeners around here. There'll be no
body at the station. It's only a few
steps down the road, and you'll have
to go there anyway to find out about
jour motor routes. Tim Boyce, the
station agent, knows every’ inch of i

loud better wake Miss Foster be-1
fore you go,” she went on, cheeking
off finger number three, “so she can
be getting ready, but of course, you've!
already thought of that. And you
can have breakfast at any minute
you say. Let me know two minutes
ahead and i'll bate you eofl'ee pour
ed and cream on your cereal if you
haven't time to do it yourselves." |
“How can I ever thank—" 1 began, I
but she put .a competent band on my j
shoulder, turning toward the door.
“You haven't time for thunks," she
said. “You said you wanted to write
a note to this doctor for me to hand
him, and all these things take time.
Besides, maybe you have a ‘thank!
/you’ or two coming from me. You've
i straightened out a performance that j
looked as if it might give my house!
a kind of advertising I wasn't look- ■
ing for, so 1 guess we’re square. Scoot
along now"’
I "scooted" accordingly back
through the dining room and along
the corridor to the room where I had j
left Claire Foster. She was still
asleep and even through my hurry
and anxiety 1 noticed how like a tired
child she looked, all her barriers
down.
“Claire," I said softly, deciding that
I would shelve the formal. “Miss
Foster.” until we were through our
present predicament at least.
There was no sign that she heard
me, and T put my hand gently upon
her shoulder. But she was in the
deep sleep which follows mental strain
and though 1 hated to waken her, I
had no alternate but to shake her.
She put up her hand involuntarily
to brush mine away, then sat quickly
up in bed as if startled.
“What’s the matter?'’ she said
breathlessly. “Has Mrs. Barker—”
Involuntarily I drew a breath of
relief. I had not realized that sub
consciously I had listened for some
question concerning Dicky, showing
that her first concern was for him.
“No. no, Mrs. Barker is all right.”
1 hastily assured her. “Indeed! she is
doing everything in her power for us.
But w.e must get away from here in
ns few' minutes ns we can make it.
I’ve had a telegram but I can’t stop
to tell you about it now.
"If you ever dressed and packed
quickly, do it now!' I' exclaimed.
We're going to drive many miles, so
you'll have a chance to repack your
bags if you can get everything in now.
You can throw anything left over Into
the car, and we ll manage someway.
But be ready for breakfast and the
journey if you can by the time I get
back from the railroad station. I ni
going to telephone Dicky to meet us.
and I'll tell you everything on the
way. But hurry.”
I was at the door with my hand on
the knob when I finished. But her
voice stopped me.
“It's Herbert!” she said, a if to her
self, and as I hurried away down the
hall, for I dared not tarry, 1 realized
that in her voice there had been not
only conviction, but a distinct note of
dread.
Bradstreet’s Annual Business Review
Xineteen-twenty-two may be properly
styled 'a year of fulfillment." in tahat its
early promise of being a "fair” year in
trade and Industry was abundantly veri
fied. It was Irregular enough, including
periods of bleated liquidation of previous
years’ troubles, of apparent downward
reaction,s alike in sentiment, in produc
tion and in prices, ami although busi
ness in most lines was conducted at a
much higher level of values than in the
preceding year. It is probable that the
margin of profit was slimmer than ex
pected. Prices of commodities, some fmv
farm products excepted, continuing the
improvement begun In midsummer <>t 1921.
ruled higher aii around, this being true
in other countries than this, by the way.
Production generally expanded over the
preceding year’s aggregates, in some in
stances new high records being set up.
and trade volume was undoubtedly larger
than in 1921. Retail trade proved better
than expected, considering the claimed
reduction of purchasing power on the part
of the agricultural Interests. Throguhout
the year collections appeared rather back
ward and never averaged better than
fair, with slowness marked and long con
tinued in many sections. Many measures of
movement showed gains over 1921, al
though but few exceeded those of some
earlier flush years. Following two years
of liquidation, the progress made, as a
whole, was encouraging, and a good nor
mal level was reached in many lines.
Frozen credits were pretty well melted,
but the record number of failures and
next to largest, volume of liabilities ever
recorded were evidences alike of con
tinuing strain in many lines of busi
ness and cumulative effects of past mis
takes. overbuying, underconsumption and
other evils revealed by the slump fid
lowing after-war inflation By uiul large,
the year will probably be remembered
hm a year of improvement (though some
o ft his was rather painful progress) in
most lines, and, all things considered, a
far from unsatisfactory 1- months.
Severe Labor Trouble*.
A number of big features stand out
prominently In a review of the past \ear.
As not uncommon In other years of re
adjustment .It was characterized by severe
labor troubles Over 1.000,000 men volun
tarily abandoned their work, the hulk of
these in protest against reduced wages,
and file biggest strike, that of coal min
ers, proved successful. Despite the dis
organization that flowed from this and
the railway shopmen's strikes, the lat
ter a failure to all appearances, it was
a wonderful year In industry.
l-'oi the first time In history, it was
claimed to have bevn demonstrated that
there were not enough manual workers
to go around, this latter development a
heritage of war and later of law-restricted
immigration. This was in striking con
trast with the year before, when 4.000,
000 to 6,000,000 people were reported
eith*r displaced or idle. Thus fortified
in this position, the labor unions, as their
chief spokesman announced, prevented the
often predicted deflation of wages. Ho
strong was the country financially, how
over, and so exigent the demand for all
kinds of supplies, this including hon
ing. that business and industry both made
wonderful progress for an after-depression
year, although industrial workers, it was
freuqently claimed, were the chief bene
ficiariea of tin' year's operations. How
severely construction of all kinds, but par
ticularly of dwellings, had been restricted
during the war period, was proved by the
unexampled voluble of expenditure in fil
ing this vacuum.
Several times through the year, predic
tion that the housing supply had reached
or passed demand was proved erroneous.
Never before In the country's history, also,
was there such an output of that one
time tinned luxury, the automobile. Con
tinuing the immense investment buying
demand of the latter part of 1921, the
bond markets, despite reactions due to ad
vances in money rates, did a new high
record volume of business. Liberty bonds
reached par in midyear and the Victory
notes were refunded. The stock market,
which had risen quite steadily from the
summer of 1921, reacted in the autumn of
1922. losing some of the advance. Hales
exceeded both in 1921 and 1 920. New en
terprises floated compared well with 1921,
but did not equal recent previous yeais.

leading in the Improvement to an extent
not ' isible In recent preceding years. it
is probable. Indeed, that a law* measure
of the all-around improvement \ isible
throughout the year was bast'd upon the
activity in the constructive trade*. Moat
of these, and especially building, with its
numerous allied lines were what might he
called ready-money trades and wel and
I frequently paid labor, which constitutes so
high a percentage of all construction <;" •
the chief profiler. This seemed to
r.— ate a veritable flowing well from which
i general business drew stimulation and con
j sequent activity.
An to the constructive side of the future,
l it may be said that the big feature is
’ naturally the notable degree <»f betterment
shown and the optimism generated there
by in th'? past year and a half, or say
! since July 1. 1921. when, it is now gen
erally agreed, the beginning? of imptove
I meqt first became clearlje^’isible. Satis
| faction arising from the surge forward in
! domestic trade and industry in 1922, per
| haps best evidenced In the wonderful;
year’s operation:; in building and allied
lines, lias strengthen**! the feeling that
this activity will continue well Into 1922.
How much more might have been accom
plished if the country had not had to
shoulder the terribly expensive coal and
railroad strikes is, of course, not a sub-;
ject to dilute upon now. The continuance;
at a faster rate of the 1921 rally in prices
has been comforting, as frequently nolel.
chiefly because proving that, after all,
there are two sides to the price situation. !
The rally in prices during the autumn,
especially in leading farm products, un
questionably served to hearten th-* agri
<ultur.il interest, which had theretoforo
apparently profited little from the year’s
improvement.
There is visible now a great deal less
worry than a year ago as t<> all costs of
operation in view of the apparently slight
visible effect of these on business in the
past year, this despite ahe feeling that
labor will ask a great deal if present
prices hold. How much effect the gen
eral increase in all costs has had in fur
ther reducing the admittedly discourag
ing volume of export trade does not seem
to attract the attention it deserves. There,
is. in fad, a disposition to charge tlje un- I
getth-d conditions n European polities, and j
consequently in exchange, with most *>i [
the respon dbility for this unsatisfactory j
buying from abroad, nl this respect the i
gains shown in trade with oilier parts of ;
the world fail to satisfy entirely. Un-I
questionably, feeling as regards foreign j
markets for American products has been |
favorably influenced by the rise in Biifish
'■^change and tlie rumors that this country j
is going to abandon its much trumpeted;
but apparently untenable, position of po- ;
litical and economic isolation.
To Pres* iKmmnds.
On tho other hand, there is no shutting
tho ey» s to the fact that organized labor,
buttress, d by existing immigration laws
and its Huecsses of 1922, is inclined to
press demands, which can only result In
much industrial friction In the year to
come. The most direct threat of this kind
is that the nation's fuel supply wilt be
reduced by strikes again in April next.
The agricultural interest, with the feeling
that it lias been most hurt owing to tho
lev. prices Ht cured f**r most of it* pro
ducts. and with hopes of success from
bloc movements, is reported aggressive
in demanding special legation. Tin* pros,
pects r.f p radical bloc in congress which
may possibly throw the country into po
litico-economic. turmil pro not reassuring.
Whether this threatened activity among
th*- political wit b doctors and medicine
men will result mainly in talk as it has
done In most othr years following long
continued economic troubles, witness the
years following 1ST:; and 1893, remains to
be demonstrated. 'I'hat good old spread
eagle statement that this is a government
of law.-, not of men. may this year, hir.v
ever. prove to i* • something more than
merely a bitter jest. There really seems |
to have be* n a surfeit of laws, especially
those involving new schemes of taxation,
passed in this country of late years, and
Hometiling like a truce in this respect |
would be welcomed. The comforting re
flection. of course, comes that, after all,
many of these man-made statutes are
merely “written in water;” that hard
work, industry and common tense may
have their price in the future as in the
past, and that tho laws of supply and de
nial!,* though often obscured, may still be
effective. With the most serious eco
nomic crisis that ever faced this country
apparently satisfactorily tided over, with
the evidences of the excellent progress
made since midkear of 1921 in mind, and
witii thr*-o td eix months of the new year’s
trade and industry fairly secure, the busi
ness world, imbued with a degree of op
timism that vergej upon confidences, faces
hopefully th** admittedly numerous uncer
tainties of 1922.
Financial
--- . ■ i ,
New York, Dec. 31.—This is the
time of prediction in the financial
markets and of good resolutions, there
and everywhere else. Everyone
knows just how far t^ople may rely
implicitly on the financial prophecies
of January 1. Sometimes it makes
very queer realing if the newspapers
containing such outlines of the future
is picked up and examined again in
July or December. Nevertheless it
means something if the forecasts are
unanimously cheerful and. so far as
the fortunes of the United States are
concerned, that is pretty nearly true j
of the present new year policy.
Markets, corporations and even gov
ernments are apt to make up their
minds on New Year’s day to turn
over a new leaf and thereafter avoid
the mistakes of the past as is the
private individual. On the whole,
the mental pledge is about as apt to
be fulfilled in the one case as in the .
other. But ther are time when eir- j
cumstances make it worth while.
I lit** rent in Paris Pur Icy.
Perhaps for that reason this weeks
particular Interest, to financial m well as
political watchers, will necessarily attach
to the reassembling at Paris of the ad
journed conference of European prime
ministers. A little while ago the opening
of ono of these nutm-rous successive in
ternational conferences was received with
entire cynicism the financial mar
kets. This one i3 not. It is awaited
with a kind of inter- -t which in Europe
supersede* all other market Influences: a.
fact which Itself bears testimony to the
Importance of the occasion, since Euro
pean high finance Is always apt to be
well Informed in advance about the pos
sibilities and probabilities uf such a po
litical event.
Nothing gave better evidence of the
now view r-f the international n<*gotiii- i
tions in financial circles titan the j
promptness with which, when the news
paper cable dispatches were -d-s- ribing the
hopeless breakdown of the conference at
London, the private - abb s from London
banking houses urged their New York
correspondepis to pay no attention to the
unfavorable inferences.

Looking Backward and
Forward at New Year’s

There I? a story told of 'two Irishmen
who v ere walking from Dublin to Cork.
\ft.-r thex had been a While on the \yay
they met a man of whom they asked the
distance to ' or!:. "About 1" miles," ho
answered. They walked on for half an
hour more and meeting a ond man
R^ked him how far it whs to '"ork "About
1" miles." he said. The same question
asked of a third man an hour later
brought the same reply—"about 10 mile*"
—whereupon one of th- walker* remarked
to his companion, "Heaven be praised,
Pat, we’re holding out own "
A* they face the complexities and prob
lems of the new year there may be some
who fn.1! that we have hardly more than
held our own during the 12 months Just
end'd, but their discouragement is unwar
ranted. I.if is lust one thing after an
otln r, but the record of 1922 is one of
recovery and reconstruction, both here and
abroad.
A year ago we were in the depth* of the
depression • aused by what some regarded
and still regard as an unnecessarily pre
cipitate deflation. In the interval many
frozen loans have been thawed out and
the bankers of the country des rvo a
word of thanks for the good judgment
and consideration they have shown In
nursing back to commercial convalescence
many concerns who would have been
speedily thrown into bankruptcy if the
policy which formerly prevailed had been
followed. Considering the magnitude of
the loss, s incurred the number of fail
ur-s that have been reported Is remark
ably small.
Kfrovrry Is Encouraging.
Tin* recovery !n values recorded is also
encouraging. Comparing present prices
with those of December 31, 192 2. wheat
is up about *25 cents, corn 23 cents and
oats about 10 tents a bushel. Cotton has
advanced nearly 8 cents, sugar 2 cents,
coffee 2 cents ami beef and hog products
an average of fully 2 cents a pound. Iron
and steel are up an average of almost
$10 a ton. Lead lias nearly doubled in
value, and copper, though a laggard
among the metals, is nevertheless 1 cent
a pound higher than a year ago.
The Index numbers, which are an aver
age of essential commodity prices
weighted with relation to tho proportion
in which they are factors in the cost of
living, compare as follows for the United
States and Great Britain. It will he no
ticed that the average in the United
States on December 1, 1922, was 54 per
cent above the prewar level and 12.7 per
cent higher than it was a year ago, while
tho English figures were 3.93 per cent
lower on De- ember 1. 1921, but 68 per
cent higher than on July 3, 3914. Here
is the comparison:

Britain Nearer Normal.
Tim decline In the British average dur
ing the 12 months is in part due to the
advance In sterling exchange, l»ut even
making allowance for this it would ap
pear that the price level is nearer normal
here than in the only other important
country that has been able to maintain
the Integrity of its currency.
And in another respect tho comparison
Is in favor of the United States. In
Great Britain as here there was much
unemployment at the beginning of the
year, but there is none here now, whereas
in England the government is seriously
considering a plan that will accelerate the
emigration of the many for whom it
seems impossible to provide work.
There are many other aspects in which
our record shows progress. Our exports
have been amazingly large when the lin
pecunlosity of the European world Is
considered. Billions of new bonds. In
cluding some large foreign issues, have
been readily placed at rates which have
progressively favored the borrowers and
have been reflected in higher prices for
government bonds and all good invest
ment securities.
There remain, it is true, a great many
maladjustments to b • corrected and it is
now generally ugreed that some of the
legislation that was designed for their
correction will fail of its purpose, but
upon the whole we are much Letter off
than we were a year ago and it seems
almost certain that 3 923 will show fur
ther progress unless we are entirely blind
to tho lessons of experience.
i’onr Major Problems.'
In mo far as our internal affairs are con
cerned there are four major problems up
on which it is found the continuance of
our recovery is dependent. They ar* :
1. The disparity between agricultural
profits and the farmer’s cost of living.
.. The high cost and inadequacy of
railroad transportation and the apparent
inability of most railroads to earn a fair
return upon the capital invested.
it. The provision of a sufficient coal
supply at a price that is reasonable from
< onsumer's standpoint and consistent with
a living wage for those by whose labor
it is produced.
4. A reform in both the state and foil- j
oral tax laws that will make them less
inquisitorial and assure the necessary |
revenue while distributing its burden more i
equitably and diminishing the inducement !
to legalized evasion.
There are many other minor domestic
problems but these four are supremely Im
portant and ay they are disposed of most
of the others will disappear.
for Confidence.
To despair of their solution is to de
spair of me intelligence of the most in
telligent nomocracy that the world has*
Kn«»wn and to such a counsel of dejec
tion in regard to the future of his country
no American who knows anything of his
tory will give heed for a moment.
When wo turn from our internal af
fair.; to our external or International re
lationships tii-i'- is equal reason lor a
philosophic confidence in the iuture and
the ultimate wisdom of the American
people. .Since the armistice we have
pass«d from the heights of international
altruism to which we were exalted by the
sacrifices of the war t. the depths of
i ational self isolation into which we were
carried by the deflation which froze not
only our credit but our sympathies for a
war worn world.
But ns our prosperity has returned we
have begun again to realize that neither
men nor tuitions can live unto themselves
alone an l that in an age in which the
world has become an economic unit to
insist that it Is not part of tho whole.
There is therefore developing afresh a
half reluctant willingness if not tin af
firmative disposition to assume the re
sponsibilities which our ec onomic eminence
has thrust upon us. The most hopeful
»-ign of the times Ih the aggressiveness
with which some of those who opposed
the league of nations arc now insisting
that the United States shall take the
leadership in organizing an economic con
ference to consider "How we can help.’’"
New Year Favorable.
That this insistence is based upon eou
sideiatioas of self-interest; that, to quote
fhe words of Senator Borah, it is In part
prompted by the fuel that "millions arc
dying in Buropo for tho products which
are rotting on our farms," makes no dif
ference. It is an admission ot the truth
• hot then* is a _l*ommunity of interest
between all the peoples of the earth, and
once tliis truth secures the recognition
which inspire* action we shall he well on
the way to that co-operation that is the
antithesis of war and essential to con
structive progress and prosperity.
Therefore the auguries of the New Tear
seems to he highly favorable. The one
thing to ho feared Is that wo may be
come the victims of our own enthusiasm
as tho power we possess is revealed *<i
us. if wo use it wisely and with self
restraint In exacting profit from its ex
crcise the year 1923 may u her in a period
in which growth of wealth will exceed
that «-f the century which followed the
invention of the steam engine.
But if we become intoxicated with out
own success, if as often in the past we
forget that industry and increased pro
duction at a reduced cost are the essen
tials of prosperity, if we surrender our
selves to Mm delusion that we shall gro\t
rich rapidly if we can demand and ob
tain higher wages for less work and 1
higher prices for a smaller output. Urns
tlie brilliant future which appears to be
in sight will prove to be hut a dream from |
which we shall awake to find our selves j
again in the slough of despond.

Trade Review
____________________
Hr K ,1. HI \ & CO.
With hardl> aa exception, commercial'
' reports sr© of an increasingly favorable
1 tenor and business will enter upon the
i new year in a strong position. Annual
reviews stress the substantial recovery j
; from previous depression that has o< - 1
« urred in most markets, and the results
1 of 19:?. In various respects were better
| than had he.-n generally anticipated. J»c
1 ^plt* the contraetion in export trane. the
, point Ijhs le-en ri ached in different basic
j ir.dustrl • wher© production is at a high
level, while orders already booked Insure
| active operations for some time ahead.
I've# at tills holiday season, which tradi
: tionally is a quiet period, new demand
has been of sizable dimensions in certain
| important instances, and shutdowns at
; mills and factories have been of much
-hortf r duration than usual. Kxiatlug
• onditions in iron and steel afford con
vincing evidence of the decisive • -harac
i ter of the business revival, ami more fre
I quent reports a re heard of a shortage of
j workers in that quarter and in some other
branches of manufacture. With the fuller
i employment of available labor, the public
purchasing capacity naturally has been ap
preciable augmented and tins phase found
i reflection in the heavy Christines turn
I over. The improved situation In agricul
tural communities that has resulted from
the sharp rise In prices of leading farm
staples is entering more largely into ral
< illation- of future buying power, but
there is still h noticeable resistance to
higher prices in retail channels. In some
cases, the advanced wholesale prices have
not yet been passed o.i to the counters,
and it cannot now be clearly foreseen tn
what extent the prospective revisions will
affect consumption.
Highest Price* for Cotton.
Ah Dun's weekly lists have shown, ad
vances in wholesale commodity prices
predominated during the year just end
ing. and tho closing week was marked by
a small excess of Increases. She outstand
ing feature when business was resumed
'ft*r the Christmas holidays was flic
fui tiu r rise in cotton prices to the highest i
level foht* season. With a renewal of !
active buying, botli for speculative ac- i
count and for mill Interests, th«? March
:i’ol May options‘crossed the 27e basis ami
the local spot quotations touched 28.80c.
| As the upturn progressed, more was heard
I about the relatively small supply of tho |
staple, and the action of spot markets In
j tho south indicated a strong situation
I there. Bullish conditions this week not
I alone prevailed in cotton but also were
| evident in wheat, which rose to $1.27 for
I tho December delivery in Chicago. No
I single fa tor wholly explained the price
! advance in l his cereal, but improved ex
port prospects were among the important I
i influences.
*»<•<•! Industry Slid Active.
The year-end period lias been marked by ;
unusual conditions in iron and steel. Not i
only has demand been exc eptionally ac-!
live for the season, but holidays have not
brought the customary extended plant
shutdowns, pressure for deliveries being
keen. Difficulty in maintaining output
and making shipments, moreover, has been
increased by the scarcity of workers, and
‘•ur shortage la an added drawback. In
view of these phases, producers naturally
found it necessary to restrict the Christ
mas and New Year suspensions of opera
tions. A .significant turn in the price situa
tion l.i seen in the development nf strength I
in pig iron, following many tfeeks of
yielding, and there also is more firmness
in the steel ileparement. In connection
with the recovery in pig iron prices, higher
fuel costs are a factor, furnace coke ad
vancing $1 and foundry coke £*0c a ton
this week. Tho prevailing coke prices
are about $3 above those of a year ago.
Textile Markets Close Finn.
A year that was marktfi by substantial
Improvement in dry goods business dosed
with prices firm at higher levels, a rise
in prine cloths to 10 Ue being one of the
prominent features. Strength in woolens
also was sharply defined, and another fall
season in tills division will be. Inaugurated
promptly after the turn of tho new year.
It will then be shown to what extent the
steady advance in raw* material and the
full wage scales in mills will be reflected j
In the future prices. Results of the holi
day trade have been gratifying, and there!
is promise of normal buying in retail I
stores for several months ahead. Inas
much as most of the marchandise now go
ing to retailers was ordered below the1
parity of present prices in primary chan- 1
pels, employment and general purchasing
conditions will be the determining factor
when tile higher prices are passed ori to j
consumers. Meanwhile, it la noted that i
textile production is at a very high point.,
with unusual activity in new properties !
in southern territory.
Holiday I'liases in Hide Trade.
Tt obvious*3* has not been the time to
look for significant developments in the
hide trade and allied lines. Holiday
phases have clinracterUed all of the mar
kets. an inventory taking has been an
other restraining influence. Resumption
of activity probably will not be witnessed
before the middle of January, but pros
pects arc favorably regarded and annual
reviews show that substantial improve
ment in conditions occurred during the
year now ending. Even with seasonal re
strictions, business in calfskins, particu
larly in the west, has reached fairly su
able proportions, with some sales at ad
vanced prices. Generally, published quo
tations are unchanged, although some de
scriptions of both hides and lenther are
not fully established. ('oinparisona of
prevailing prices with those of a year ago
reveal increases in practically every In
stance.
