Chicago Trlbune-Omnhi' Bee Leased W ire.
New York, April 24. Notwith
standing what on the surface .seemed
to be greater perplexity and uncer
tainty than at any previous lin.c, the
testimony of pretty much all mar
kets last week was to the effect that
we are at least approaching, if we
have not already reached, a halt in
the continuous reaction. The steady
pressure of forced sales and success
ful speculation for the decline was
certainly checked. There was no
uniformity of movement and prices
in almost every . market would re
peatedly change their direction, but
that very fact was evidence that, as
Wall street expresses it, there were
at least two sides to the situation.
This did not mean that there was
much in the way of tangible occur
rences to inspire hope of early and
aggressive recovery. On the con
trary, the evidence of bank clear
ings, commodity prices, railway
earnings, freight "loadings," iron
production and export trade has in
dicated low ebb in the economic tide.
But the general rim of expert opin
ion in the various branches of
finance and industry certainly
seemed to be that, for the time at
any rate, we had seen the worst.
Feeling of Improvement.
Three or four months ago the whole fi
nancial community was prophosylng a
much worse condition in the near future.
A month ago. It was difficult to Induce
anybody to predict anything. Last week
there wss at least a feeling that matters
were quite as likely to improve as to grow
more unfavorable. The partial halt In the
general reaction of commodity prices, the
slow but unmistakable trend toward a
more normal money situation, the tesU
mony of foreign exchange that Europe's
economic position was not growing weaker,
and the numerous evidences that the prob
lem of wartime labor costs in peacetime
markets for the goods produced, have been
contributory Influences.
But the essential fact Is that the re
active tendencies were bound to be checked
sometime, If only through compulsory re
versal of the relation between supply and
demand, for necessaries as it existed a year
ago.
A good many new considerations nat
urally srise In such a situation.
The report on our country's foreign trade
for March, with Its exports the smallest
in total value of any month since our en
try Into the European war (when shipping
was being diverted to transport service)
and Its surplus of exports the smallest for
that month since 1914, has several highly
Interesting aspects. From one point of
view the decrease is a natural reflection
of tho great fall In prices.
Export Surplus Slumps.
Last month's 3132.000,000 surplus of ex
ports was 3164,000,000 less than the surplus
of March, 1920. In that month our
??aneeM of "Ports was reported as
3296,000,000. But assuming the Labor de
partment average of prices, the change in
valuation for the same quantity of outward
and inward trade the export surplus if
computed at the prices of March. 1321.
would have been only 3189,300,000.
But It must also not be ovelooked that,
precisely as the rise in prices between
i .k?ndv ?920 -""ot'y emphasized the
monthly balance against countries with a
habitual import surplus" and greatly in-
i. k?. a?cur"S "edit of countries

American prices lower than foreign prices
and these precise advantages cither , we

reduced and their exports stimulated more
urgently.

eOATt OF
THEIR OWN,
Progress of the Crops.
Weekly Crop Bulletin of the Agricultural
Bureau, Omaha Chamber of
Commerce.
The return to normal temperature con.
ditinns ufter 11.0 scvero storm of last
week enables us to take stock of the
damage done tn agriculture and get oor
bearings for real crop progress now that
we may fairly assumo that winter will
no longer linger In the lap of spring. Tho
cold wave, central In this section when
our last week's bulletin was given to the
press, progressed rapidly eastward. It
reached tho St. Lawrence valley by Sun
day nnd embraced practically tho whole
country as far south' as central Texas.
I'amagn to farm crops was mostly con
fined to the "middle south," where meat
and oals are heading and corn, cotton and
truck are far enough along to nuflcr from
freezing. The damage to wheat Is hot ma
terial, though Oklahoma and southern Il
linois report unfavorably. But oats nnd
alfalfa are Injured over a wide area.
Southern Iowa has replanted a considerable
area of oats Injured by the April 12
freeze, but, while tie later storm wss
more severe, snow accompanied it In thn
upper Mississippi valley and protected
all small grain crors. It Is safe to say
winter wheat shows progress during the
week, tsking tho country over.
The cotton belt has evidently lost dur
ing the week In all her important In
terests. Heavy cold rains In the western
part of the belt where the soil was pre
viously well saturated, will make the
stand of corn and cotton poor. The east
ern part of the belt continues to sur
fer from drought, and the freeze caused
heavy loss of fruit and garden truck. Se
vere storms resulted In srroat property
damage and some loss of life.
The east, where agriculture is not so
far advanced. Buffered severely in loss of
fruit. New Jersey. Pennsylvania and New
York state report heavy loss of grapes,
cherries and peaches. But It is thought
apples are still safe in New York. Mich
igan and Ohio orchards suffered to the
same extent apparently as those of New
York In fact, the lower lake region wss
hard hit by the severe cold of April 17.
As this is one of our most dependable
fruit districts, loss In that quarter Is a
very serious thing, following the nearly.
If not total, loss in the central fruit
belt.
The spring wheat belt and Taclflc north
west report very favorable conditions.
Seeding of small grain is nesrly complet
ed and in the Intermountaln country very
little damage from freezing has been ac
crued to fruit and other susceptible crops.
California and Nevada have suffered se
verely from drought, cold, and high' winds.
All stone fruits, grapes and apples "suf
fered wlde-spresd inlury." In the south
west long continued drought has kept
pastures so short that -many sheep are
starving. Efforts to get them to pas
tures Is difficult, since the sheen are too
weak to trave' and many of the range
flocks are out of reach of rail transpor
tation. Trade Review.
By It. Ci. DUNN ft CO.
ATter long-continued liquidation, more
stability has developed In some markets,
with a definite gain In business. Comple
tion of the readjustment Is yet to be at
tained in many instances and improvement
is not general, hut basic conditions are
gradually strengthening. A tendency to
ward easing of the monetary stringency,
partly reflected In some lowering of dls
ccunt rates, is a favorable augury, and
freer marketings of grain are making for
a lessening of the financial tension in
country districts. Recent sudden changes
lr. temperature have been detrimental
alike to crop sdvsncement and seasonal
increase In retail distribution, yet weather
influences are secondary to some other
factors In the present situation, questions
of prices and wages being uppermost. Tho
process of prLre deflation continuing
steadily for nearly a year, Js providing a
basis for revival of buying, but resistance
to wage revisions is being encountered In
various quarters and labor troubles in
some sections serve to impede the indus
trial recovery. Broadly viewed, however,
some progress Is recorded each week, and
the distinct betterment in the hide and
leather trades and In some textile divis
ions is encouraging. In these lines, and
In certain others, there Is now more
steadiness to prices, with some advances
as demand enlarges, and Dun's list of
wholesale quotations this week discloses a
smaller excess of recessions. The element
of price, on the other hand, still enters
sharply Into buyers' calculations, and no
departure from the policy of operating
strictly within well-defined requirements
Is witnessed. The gain in transactions,
where it appears, is mainly the result of
moderate-sized commitments to cover im
mediate or nearby needs, but such engage
ments are becoming more frequent. In
the existing circumstances, the absence of
speculative tendencies in business is a
wholesome feature.
Irregularity In Building.
While statistical evidence of some re
vival of building activities is not lacking,
a special canvass of the situation by cor
respondents of Dun's Review discloses
much Irregularity In different parts of the
country. Notwithstanding the pressing
need for additional housing accommoda
tions, construction work in many sec
tions is being retsrded from one cause or
another, and various factors make tho out
look more or less uncertain. Resistance to
.wage reductions Is a phase commented
upon in many of the dispatches, and
money market conditions, although reflect
ing some casing, still render the finsnc
ing of new projects difficult Against
these and other drawbacks, however, are
the substantial and practically general de
clines In prices of materials, which have
not been without effect In stimulating a
resumption of building. The permits Is
sued in March show a continuation of the
gain recorded in February,: the value of
last month's permits, in spite of the lower
costs, being largr than in any previous
month in nearly a year.
The trend toward recovery in hide busi
ness, which has only appeared after many
months of almost unbroken dullness, is
becoming more general. Evidence multi
plies that the market is in a well-liquidated
condition, and more confidence is
being expressed In the trade. Develop
ment of some call ftr Latin-American dry
hides, which have been slow to reflect
improvement, Is considered a good omen,
and domestlo packer stock has continued
to gain in activity, with some price ad
vances recorded. The well-sold up situ
ation in calfskins, moreover, is disclosed
by a rise this week of 5c over prices se
cured on previous transactions. While re
vival ef demand for leather is mainly
confined to upper descriptions, the bet
terment In this quarter Is suet as to give
encouragement, and price Increases on cer
tain lines, the first In many months, are
noted. Producers of men's footwear are
expecting larger orders and are buying
more freely of feather, and trading In
women's shoes continues quite satisfactory.
Retailers sre being urged to place fall
contracts as soon as possible, manufac
turers stressing possible delays in ship

Dry Goods Demand. .
In view of general economic condi
tions, an estimate by large dry goods
jobbers that their business amounts to
about 70 per rent of that of a year ago
Is considered satisfactory. While retailers
still find the featuring of low prices neces
sary In maintaining sales, there Is a de
cided tendency In primary circles to hold
quotations steadier. A continuation of
spring prices into fall has been announced
by the largest manufacturer of staple
and dress ginghams, snd it is stated that
no production for fall delivery will be
available, beyond the orders already In
hand. Outputs sre diminished In cottons
and In jute products, but there Is a gain
In wool, knit goods and silk lines, wit)
reports of the starting of night work in
a few New England woolen plants. Such
a phase as the latter, hewever, is the
conspicuous exception. The changed char
acter of consumption Is reflected In a
full movement of many staple cottons,
silks and worsteds, and some mills are well
occupied, but makers of less well-known
goods are curtailing. High-priced novel
ties and fancies are not being stressed as

Amount of Gold
Coming to U. S.

Will Stimulate speculation
Unfounded, Say Ablest
Bankers.
By HOLLAND.
About 20 years ago $100,000,000
in gold approximately were sent in
a few weeks to the United States
from other countries, principally
Great Britain. It established a new
record. The amount was so large
that the clearing house authorities
were ninth concerned, for they were
apprehensive that the vaults of this
association wers incapable of stor
ing it. v
That Import of gold has passed Into the
traditions of Ihe financial district. No one
at that would have ventured to say that
the imports of gold In a few months would
be so great as completely to dwarf ths
mount that was sent about 20 years ago.
Tills amazing Import of gold Is on of tha
ptu nomeiia that were suddenly developed
Ly t 10 exigencies of Ihe wsr. Th clearing
house vaults enlarged as they have been,
would be of Insufficient capacity for the
storage of this gold. We now have federal
reserve vaults and they am ample to tak
caro of all gold which may he brought Into
tho United States In addition to the enor
mous amount which has already been im
ported. Inrush of Gold,
On the first of April Ihe gold now In
this country which rume from abroad was
3354.000,000 In excess of the gold which
was held here a year ago. Much more Is
coming. Almost every steamer brings gol i
and in one day of last week gold of the
value of $!1,IM)0,000 was taken from the
bteamshlps which had just arrived frum
Europe. These were the Imports for a
single day. It would not astonish the
banking authorities If by July 3500,000,000
In gold In excess ot the amount held on
July 1 of last year wiro in the vaults of
tho Federal Reserve bank or In tha vaults
of the banks.
Occasionally the remark has been made
that we do not need this gold and, from
one point of view, that statement la ac
curate. Sometimes It is said that the ai
cumulaion of thb enormous deposit of
gold, unprecedented In the world's history
may be of dangerous tendency because it
may stimulate unreasonable speculation.
But the ablest bankers say that this ap
prehension is unfounded.
Why Void Is Here.
This, gold has come not because we nerd
it or have demanded it, but because those
in foreign lands n ho hsve bought Ameri
can commodities have discovered that it
is cheaper to use gold in payment for
these commodities than to buy exchange.
That Is nothing new. It has often hap
pened that foreign exchange has been
quoted at such high figures that it has
been found advantageous to use gold In
payment of obligations Instead ot pur
chasing exchange.
The fact that these shipments of gold
from other lands to. the United Staes are
so heavy is of itself sufficient proof that
we are maintaining our foreign trade, al
though in March of this year the money
value of that trade was less by 3750,000,
000 than was the like Value of the trade
In March of last year. The exports In
March of last year were caused by spe
cial demands. Yet gold continues to
come and very likely this movement will
be in progress for several months. There
is no other explanation for these Imports
of gold than the use of It by our debtors
in other lands so that In tnls way they
can pay. for the commodities which they
are buying.
rurxllng restore.
Qne of the features associated with this
movement of gold to the United States
which is puzzling some of our bankers
refers to the sources from which this
gold comes. It certainly does not come
from the vaults of the banks of Europe.
Our own bankers have beon instructed
by their correspondents who are on the
ground in Europe that the central banks
of Europe do not permit anyone to draw
gold from the reserves for the purpose
of exporting it. There must then have
buen a far greater amount of loose gold
In European countries than was believed
at one time to be nosslhl. .Pranmi,iv
it comes from hoardings and from stocks
of gold which were not placed In the
banks.
Maurice L. Muhleman, who for many d
years was assistant treasurer of tke--
United States at the New York subtreasi'"'
uiy, was recognizeu as our Best authority
upon gold production and the influence
of gold upon finance. .trade and Industry.
He was always of the opinion that no
danger could be discovered In the in
crease of the gold supplies of the United
States, no matter how large that might
be. Mr. Muhleman was certain that the
more gold we had the greater would be
the development of our natural resources
because it would be the mure easy to
obtain the funds with which to utilize
these resources. The development ot
these natural resources meant Increased
national wealth. Gold in plenty might to
some extent stimulate speculation of a
kind which is not heaithrui hut th. .,i.
