Henry F. Schwars, who is the head of a mercantile house which for years rarried on a large import trade with Germany because the manufacturers in, that country produced commodi ties of the kind in which his house dealt, returned a day or two ago from prolonged sojourn in Germany, lie nsited many parts of the former em pire and had opportunity to Ret into close personal touch with industrial conditions as they now are in that nation. Mr. Schwarz said this morning that he had read the address which was delivered by Charles M. Schwab re cently to the members of the New York Chamber of Commerce and was especially impressed by the warning which Mr. Schwab gave that Germany is on the way to an economic and trade victory although she lost the war. Mr. Schwab's statement was not merely the report ing of a fact but was also a moni tion to American industry so that it may be prepared to meet the com petition which Germany, by reason of the low wages her artisans are receiving and also by reason of their efficiency, industry and willingness to sacrifice so that they may save, will offer through her ability to place commodities in foreign markets at such low prices as to make certain that these markets can be secured. Statement Justified. Mr. Rchwars Bald that all thnt he nr. 4 Warned ta his visit to Germany justuieil The statement made hy Mr. Hchwab. or course it I necessary that Germany flnU markets for the products of her IndU" rrv. - In that way only can she be placed in' position to meet indemnity require ments. On the other hand there aneos a. somewhat puxaltnt- problem which our searrh for world markets and the pro tection of our domestic markets havo caused. . , It is not ao much a question for mori ran industry to consider what the rate or vvsirea la which the German workmen re ceive as it is the question of efficiency. The worklngmcn in American industries end the laborers In our agriculture fields should receive a higher rate of wages than those which prevail in Germany. Hut if in return for these higher wases their efficiency matches or more than matches that -which is characteristic, of the Ger man workmen then the nornmoditles which they produce will be able, so far s prices are concerned, to mat;h tlifi German commodities. With reparation oueetion out of the way there is no doubt that Germany will use every resource in her possession for the production of commodities which may be sold in the markets of the world at a competitive price. John H. Patterson, president of the National Cash Register company, who has re-established, at or near Berlin, the great plant where before the war this apparatus was manufactured, spoke earn estly after hi return from Europe, whoro he apent the winter, of the necessity of agreeing upon the indemnity so that a last Germany could know the exact amount which ehe must pay. When this is known In Germany then it will be all the eaaier to re-establish German indus try upon a basis which will be a benefit not only to Germany but to the world. Motor Industry. l"eraiatent reports respecting the mo!or Industry have been in circulation lor some days for which there must be some basis and which refer to the remarkable Increase in the motor car industry in this country. Whether it be tru or not that a single order has been placed for 100,000 - of the cars manufactured by the Ford company, the reasons are excellent tor believing that the company did receive recently a very large single order. An other of the reports which have been in circulation asserts that the present output of this automobile plant is 4,000 a day. Coupled with these reports is another which tells of the productive activity of on of the largest of the tire manufactur ing plant in the United States. If the report it accurate this plant has now reached l(a productive capacity. An other of the motor oar plants is reported to b manufacturing upon a scale which almost equal its rapacity and with few exceptions this industry is substan tially equalling its output in war days. Vt Is inevitable that if these reports ar substantially correct other industtres will feel the impulse to renewed activity which will be occasioned by the remark able increase in motor car industry. New Tork Cotton. Xew Tork, May S. There was renewed realisation and scattered southern sailing in the cotton market early today, a dis position to take profits being promoted by better weather in the belt. Old crop months were relatively firm at the opening, showing an advance of 4 to 10 points, but later months were 1 to 8 points lower, and the general lists showed nt losses of i to 30 points, with July -selling at 12.7c and October at 12.51c. Ten Slay notices were reported in cir culation, but were without any apparent influence. Increasing mill curtailment was reported In Manchester, owing to the fuel shortage, but reports from the domes tic goods trade were encouraging and eas ing money rates helped- to steady prices at the decline.

Market, Financial and Industrial News of the Day Chicago Grain By CHARLES D. MICHAELS. ' tnl,''0 Tribune-Omaha H" Leased Wire. j Chicago. MayT A more cheer-j fill l'eeliiiK prevailed in the Rrain trade today, with a broader outside buying power and an increased dis-i position to regard ji1c constructive lnlhiciurd. There was a small break early which brought increased buy ing followed by a big advance with wheat the leader and doing trades were at the top to lc under the pre- l'rovi.s'ions advanced sharply after -!an earlv break and closed around the f.xatly J , per cent i ate ot hi on with lard up 15(a20c, while short the P.r f.tcI,1 f-.lhc, ba"k J ribs were 50il "higher, and pork 8a'"cd $10,800,000 gold, but its re un ''Wrtii' .serve of other currency decreased to Tnewhcat situation appears to he ; virtually the same extent and the 4 ; working into better .bane tor hold-!1 ot its deposits and circulation . ers.

Much Kealication. Traders are disposed to give thought to the realisation, particularly to I tha disparity lit tho price ilittereme ue ' tween casl;, May and July. July Is around ! 4-lc under the price of spot No. 1 hard. : which is giving away too much for the 'privilege ot selling it short. Crop news attracted more attention. In Klis was out with a 'moderately bullish vcport on Kansas and Oklahoma and tn iilxteirt liberal covering by shorts and fair im-cstment buying. Tho trade, however. I is not wlillns to admit that thie is crop I deterioration, although it is daily becom 1 Ing more .evident. Receipts continue less 'than the shipments, Chicago gelting only i 3- cars. i Sentiment in the corn trail is more divided and unfavorable weather is de laying planting and preventing corn al ; ready planted from germinating. The ad i vsnce in wheat, with a fair cash corn business, 475.000 bushels, with demands for 280.000 bushels in Montreal, was a strengthening factor. Advance in .May. Good buying by shorts and commis sion houses advanced May from 38'ic to 6OV2C. although the close was at S9,c, the recession being due to profit taking. July touched 63v;c ami reacted 'ac nt the last, while Illinois farmers and ' interior shippers sold over 150.000 bushels No. 2 yfllow corn to arrive at. lc over Chicago jlay. Receipts wore 223 cars. Crop reports on oats are less favorable, particularly from Kansas, Oklahoma, Ne braska and Iowa. Reseedins in Iowa is the greatest in over 30 years as the result of cold and unfavorable weather. This, with! the advance in other grains, brDught in a general covering movement with some investment buying, especially in September, which was heavily oversold and It advanced from S7 to 40'ic with the close around 40 cents. Cash business was good with 370.000 bushels sold. Cash! prices were lc higher at the last, with receipts 41 care. P.ve was hard to buy. The seaboard exporters control the May and there is none offered except a little from the northwest. May rye and wheat sold at practically tho same price at one time. Sl.42'4, which was the top on rye. with the close '.jc under that figure. Pit Notes. There is a feeling in wheat that th'e market will do better at least until May 10, which is the date for the calendar traders to begin selling. One of the larg est exportors who was Iters today said that soiling of July wheat was dangerous, as the discount was too great under the cash grain to make It safe. He believes that the money market is to ease and that creditB will bo better, which' would help all grains' because they have deflated to a level that makes tnem safer for buyers. With cash) wheat $1.50 and higher, it comes nearer representing the cost of producing, while July at 40 cents u,nder is regarded as too low. Receipts of wheat at Minneapolis were 144 cars; Duluth, 40; Winnipeg, 3 56 cars. Logan and Bryan have the following from John Inglis: "Wellington to Tinid wheat shows marked deterioration. Some fields promise an average crop. On the larger acreage unhealthy, losing color: decline in condition will be more mani fest when it heads. Oats good; will fin ish planting corn this week. Find no insects. Enid. Kingfisher and -Olreno wheat keeps falling down. Southward general condition poor: some fields w:ll oe plowed up: no bugs: some fields will louse ruining the oats; doubt if any win j out here." Van" Dusen-Harrington crop report says: "Northwest crop prospects at present are j favorable and above average for this time of year. There are exceptions, .such as some districts in central Montana, which are in need of moisture." Beatrice: Neb., wired: "Our local mill. selling wheat: say there is not enough business to keep them going half the time. Country offtring a little more free." Minneapolis message saysr "Exports from Milletti and Webster. S. T)., say early wheat is up and tt looks yellow and very thin. Line elevator man just told me there was still 25 per cent oC wheat to seed in northern part of North. Da kota." W. F. M"urphy of Farnum; Winter and company, had tho following from Kan sas City: "Letter from Enid. Ok!., says' tho writer has Just returned from Elrena and while the wheat looked good from the road, yet when you get into the fields you find that thera is very little? that shows up as good as it looks from a distance. The wheat is thin,- spin dling and yellow and most of the small stools are dead." E. A. Boerner of Stein, Alsteln and, company says: "It seems to us that the position of tho old crop is now too vital a factor to be ignored, as many are in- clearances are greatly in excess of a year sgn and that there is tlH large quanti ties or unsnippea wneat.

"?t 'J1""": !t villained w' "e. " Wednesday's lowering of the re discount rate, therefore, was recog nition not of any such sudden change as the 10 per cent rise of reserve percentage, in a fortnight which caused the reduction in the Boston hanks rate, but of the flirn eral situation, present and prospec tive. The reserve system as a whole, how ever, reported another increase in its ratio of reserves to note and deposit liabilities. which, rising from 65 to 65 1-3 per cent. "fl""' "rk ' total rediscounts were not greatty changed irom tne preceding statement, but out standing note circulation was reduced $1,600,000 further, making $376,000,000 re duction since the high point of December. There was an increase of $U5.OO0,O0O in the corresponding Interval a year ago and a reduction of only $114,000,000 two years ago. when the period covered the short lived trade reaction after the armistice. The whole reserve system's gold reserve increased 525.700,000. It is now $284,000, 000 higher than at the end of 1920 and $401. 70i,000 above this week a year ago. Time I-oans .Lower. Money rates on the open Wail street market were little changed as a result of Wednesday's reduction of the reserved bank's rate, but It should be observed that time loans on collateral had gone down to the 6V-i per cent before the reserve bank acted and that the "street rate" for com mercial paper has been more or less nominal. With transactions which crossed the 1,000,000 share mark for the sixth time in 1921 and for the fourth time in two weeks, ttie advance on the stock exchange con tinued. The advance reflected partly pro fessional speculation for the rise and partly the activities of speculative out siders, but it hardly could be doubted that the heavy buying proceeded in great part from purchases to close out the lately over-extended speculation for the decline. This was perhaps especially true of the railway (shares, in which further advances of 1 to 2 points were numerous today, bringing the active stocks 5 to points above the year's low level of March or April. Industrial shares moved irregularly, but with many advances running from 1 to 3 per cent. The bond market advanced more vigorously than on any preceding day this week.
