Reports From Many Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. them right of way to normal condi- tions. Earnings are advencing, oper- -ating costs are coming down, idle cars are belng reduced and freight rev- enues are pouring in. These better- ments in the condition of thp great carriers are being reflected in all the widespread industries throughout the country which they affect, according to business dispatches received here within the last twenty-four hours. These basic improvements, accord- Ing to many business men and finan- ciers, far outweigh any depressing effect which delay in distribution of the $500,0000,000 owed the carriers by the government is likely to produce on business in the next few weeki Steel Industry Active. Resumption In activity in the steel industry bids fair to continue at an ever-increasing rate. Additional plants were blown in this week after long periods of idleness. The principal producer has followed independents in reducing wages to 30 cents an hour for unskilled labor. Inquiry from con- sumers has increased and buying or- ders have followed. This has applied not_only ,to finished products. but to Yasic raw materials. Pig iron is in a stronger position than for months. Iron ore is moving in increasing quan- tities through the Soo to lake ports. Demand for bituminous coal. long on a dull level of inaction, has follow- d the revival of activity by the rall- rads and the industrial plents. There is, an increased call in widely sepa- rited sections for transportation and factory purposes, and demand for household uses has at last begun to develop. Electric Power Growing. Not only have steam power necessl- increased but a necessity for an ad- tional electric power has manifested self in manufacturing centers. The mount of current generated in big cen- al station plants is gradually ap- proaching the peak load reached last vear. Rigidly reduced consumption for the st fortnight has brought oil produc- tion and consumption within reaching distance: of each other in many sections and_price advances in some flelds re- corded late this week lead oil men to hope that the market for oil has turned the corner. Lumber Demand Strong. Strong demand for humber for export both east and west has made itself manifest this week. In addition the railroad for car repairs, has set axes to falling and saws to lhumming with renewed activity in for- has shown signs of sturdy h_the B i vards, gravel pits and stone crushers re in full operation in many sections nd a firmer tone is noticeable in prices. ° Cannming Outlook Brighter. A eezson which presented a gloomy spect at the outset to the canners has rightened to a remarkable extent in he last few weeks. Canners who de- lined to contract for produce of the farms and orchards in the early part of the year, now are scrambling for he fruit and vegetable crops. y ines have been sold up in the last ow days and been withdrawn. The emand for canned salmon has been Imost unprecedented and has been ttended by a strong in rices. Potatoe prices also are @d- ancing in many sections fessional BY STUART P. WEST.

Commodity Reports - From Various Sections Woolens. PROVIDENCE, R. I, August 20 (Spe- cial).—The woolen and worsted mills of Rhode Island, after a long period of dullness, now are operating at very close to capacity, production having been on a steady increase for the last seven weeks. Business for immediate delivery continues remarkably good, while orders for spring lines assur continued activity. CLEVELAND, August 20 (Speclal) — The Cleveland Worsted Mills Company now has more machinery in operation than at any time in eight years. Of- ficlals of the company predict a heavy demand for tropicals next year. Cowsets. BRIDGEPORT, Conn., August-20 (Spe. clal).—Warner Brothers, corset manu- facturers, predict that the volume of corsets produced and sold this year will be the greatest In the history of the in- dustry. L. T. Warner, sales manager, declares that not only are just as many women * w corsets, but they are wearing more different types, and that ‘where one corset served all needs, now several are bought for wear on different occasions. = Peppers. CAMDEN, N. August 20 (Spe- cial).—The southern counties of New Jersey have been shipping an average of fifty carloads of peppers a day this summer and the crop of various varieties has broken all records. The largest markets are in cities where there is a large foreign population. Chemicals. NEW YORK, August 20 (Special).— There has been a limited demand this week for caustic soda and soda ash for spot delivery. Prices are steady and surplus stocks have been well re- duced. . Coal. CONNELLSVILLE, Pa., August 20 (Special).—There {8 a general ten- dency reported in tha coal trade ward increased demand for domestic uses of bitumirious coal from all over the country. There are also indica- tions of increased industrial demand in several widely eeparated sections, while coal is moving through Duluth to the northwest at increased speed. Notes. SAGINAW, Mich.,, August 20 (Spe- clal).- 'his city, which is* without street car service because of the bankruptcy of its traction lines, is rejoicing at the reopening this week of the car repair shops of the Pere Marquette road. The resumption of operations at the plant will give needed employment to several hun- dred men. ATLANTA, August 20 (Speclal).— Strong evidence of the fundamental soundness of business conditions here is found in the fact that tax returns from Fulton county, in which this city is located, show a valuation for this year $22,836,865 in excess of the valuation for 1920. The gain 1s the largest ever recorded in the state in one year and means that this city will ‘pay ome-fifth of all taxes of Georgla. Tra&ing. chase of foreign commodities, another is for us to accept payment for our claims in foreign securitles, the third is the much-discussed project of financing the foreign trade with American credit. None of these three means of liguidation looks particularly promis- ing at the moment. The latest trade figures have shown that, of the great shrinkage in our imports during the last twelve months, two-thirds is represented by raw materials for our manufacturing industry. A remark- able inference from this is that the import trade will not revive until the mills and factories start up here. ‘The only solution for the problem of the export (ra.dq, is a vast, compre- hensive scheme for the extension of private‘credit, and the only steps for= {ward so far taken dre the $40.000,000 | copper loan of last February and va- rious small credits arranged in other lines, as a rule for German account. Auntumn Aectivity Predicted. In business circles the talk is still of more activity when the normal time for improvement arrives—that is, in the autumn. This idea is ex- pressed by authorities like the Iron Age, which is certainly not given to undue optimism, and it also appears in ‘the public utterances of bankers and business men. On the other hand, professional Wall street is skeptical and seems to be basing its calcula- tions upon lack of industrial revival before 1922. In this view it may easily be mistaken. Stock market sentiment is notori- ously mercurial. It coull change over night, and the change might come at the first sign of rising prices in any i important quarter, say iron and steel orofl. Unfortunately. it looks now as if the thing which might have started these buying orders flowing is to be indefinitely postponed, because the majority in the Senate imsists upon taking a vacation before there has been time to put through the railway I refunding bill. 7 (Copyright, 1921) TOPS-LAST YEAR’S CROP. OTTAWA, August 20.—Canada's wheat crop this year will exceed last year’s by more than 25,000,000 bushels, but most other crops show a decrease. Estimates published by the Dominion bureau of statistics give the 1921 wheat yield as 288,493,000 bushels, against 263,189,300 bushels last year, ‘based om conditions of July 31. This year's oats crop will be 457,- 544,000 bushels, against 530,709,700 in 1920; barley, 58,027,000 bushe! com-+ with 63,310,560 last year; rye, 11,707,100 bushels, . against 11,306,400 {last season; flaxseed, 6,930,000 bushels. compared with 7,997,700 last year, and potatoes, 99,937,000 bushels, against the bumper yield in 1920 of 138.831,400 bushels. —_— NEW TIRE PLANT STARTS.

The continued fail- ure of bullish private crop advices to create a more active or general demand has been considered largely responsible for the disposition of earlier month buyers to eVen up their commitments, while contribut- ing influences have been uncertainty as to the showing of end-month con- dition figures and the effects of the early new crop movement. The un- seitled ruling of the stock market and foreign exchange rates have also a disturbing effect on specul which probably in- tendency to close out long coptracts and promoted scat- tering pressure. The doubt expressed {n some circles here as to whether the coming goy- ernment report will show the reduc- tion in crop prospects indicated by private reports of severe deteriora- tion has probably been encouraged by the showing of the last three weekly reviews of the weather bu- reau, all of which have read niore favorably than expected. This h been a check on fresh buying, the diminishing velume of business reported since the decline to 13.12 for December contracts is regarded by local brokers as indicating & dis- position to wait for a better line on the end-August crop figures. The census report on domestic con- sumption for July was a disappoin ment to local bulls, as it showed only 410,120 bales against 520,489 last year, but reports reaching the trade this week have pointed to some in- crease in mill activity. North Caro- lina plants, which have been closed because of labor troubles, are now reopening, while some of the New England mills have increased their running time, pointing to a probable improvement in . the figures for August. Midweek reports indicated that the unsettled ruling of raw material markets was slowing up business in goods for forward dellvery, but man- ufacturers are said to be maintaining their higher quotations and very few 8oods are reported in second hands. tive sentiment, creased the ly for domestic than for foreign ac- count. An unusually large percen- tage of the exports reported so far this season have gome to Japan and China, and Japan s sald to have ent basis. REACTIONARY ALL WEEK; NEW LOWS FOR THE YEAR NEW YORK, August 20.—Reac- tionary tendency again prevailed in the stock market this week. Many of the more speculative industrials and specialties registered new low records for the vear, but investment rails and steels resisted pressure. Transportations were sustained by prospects of early federal relief in the form of funding payments, and convertible bonds of that division registered appreciable gains in ex- pectation of resultant benefits. Aside from the steel trade, where a moderate increase of production accompanied additional price cutting, no material change from long-exist- ing depression was reported Sec- ondary steels and equipments were -~ b‘,l.l'ld ;ood. to- bacco, sugar and rubber shares, as well as the chefip lost ground. There were numerous accessions to the long list of dividend reductions or absolute suspensions, and shares of companies engaged in general merchandising also gave way, de- spite indications of better - business prospects. Large withdrawals from local banks to meet government require- ments accounted for the firmness of money rates, but partial easement followed on & heavy inflow from in- terior sources, attracted by the 513 to 6 per cent rates. Banking opin- ion inclined to further relaxation in especially for under fresh at er motors and oils, the coming month, commercial purposes. —_— DOWN TREND FOR GRAIN; CORN AND OATS A RECORD CHICAGO, August 20.—Prices for all grain_and provisions have had a severe fall this week, owing largely to motice taken of adverse economic conditions. Compared with a week ago, wheat this morning was down 614 to 8 cents a bushel, corn 2% to 4%a4% cents, oats ‘3 to 3% cents and provisions 35 cents to $1. Downturns in the value of wheat began under the influence of stock market depression, which was gener- ally taken here as emphasizing unfa- vorable reports about the business situation as a whole. Attention of traders centered especially on official To the Editor of The Star: After.reading your article about the supreme council meeting and your brief discussion of the Upper Sile- sian question, I have decided to in- form you of some facts which are not generally known. The supreme council is to decide whether Upper Silesia will be retained by Germany or whether it is to be divided up, and {f 80, to determine the share that each of the claimants will receive. Of course, the recommendations that the allled commission, which was sent to Upper Silesia to study the situa- tion, makes, will have to be consid- ered. It is devautly to be hoped that these recommendations will favor Po- land rather than Germany. However, most unfortunate fore- casts of the said commission’ mendations have appeared press. These forecasts suggest that only the districts of Rybnik and Pless will be granted to Poland, end that Germany will be allowed to retain the balance of the country under dispute. Needs Industrial Districts. Any such decision would be dis- astrous. It would be a sta ring blow to Polang. Without the Indus- trial districts ohUpper Silesia, which, in fact,” form an indivisible entity with the industrial districts on the Polish side of the frontier, her inde- pendent ecomomic recovery is made impossible. Any such decision can only mean that Poland must either sacrifice her hopes of economic recovery, in order to retain her independence, or sacri- fice her independence to save herself from bankruptcy. Without Upper Si- lesia she will be driven either to ruin or into the arms of Germany. The atmosphere which “surrounds the Upper Silesian question is far from being favorable to Polish interest and the principal cause for this is the general bellef that Upper Silesia 18 a greater economic necessity to Germany than it is to Poland. This be- lief has further engendered the fear that the loss of B%per Silesia would fmpatr Gf_“ ability to pay debts to_the allies. Those who know will realize that any expectation that Germany, if she is "allowed to keep Upper Silesia, will pay the allles one penny more in reparation than she is compelled to. is doomed to disappointment. And they will not be surprised to learn that the theory that Upper Silesla is more necessary to Germany than to Poland was originally exploited by Germany, and has been continually and consistently pressed by means of German propaganda. An array of evi- dence could be adduced to show that as a matter of fact Poland and Upper Bile: are to a great extent interde- pendent one upon the other for coal and for ore and for food supplies, and that Germany in time of peace is not nearly so dependent upon Upper Si- lesia as she would now have the allles believe. War Necessity for Germany. Tt is only true to say that Upper Silesia isessential to Germany at one time and In one way. She s necessary to Germany in time of war when she is the arsenal that pro- vides her with the weapons of war. This has been admitted by Germany herself. In the memorial of Septem- ber 3, 1916, the all-impogtant part played by the iron foundried of Upper Silesia during the war is fully set forth. The report explicitly states that without the iron foundries of Upper Silesia_Germany would not have had a sufficiency of arms. muni- tions and other war materlal.

Fruit Carted Away at Night in Masked Trucks. MARLTON, N. J., August 20.—Secret buyers have run the price of south Jersey grapes up to $200 a ton. Who these buyers are farmers say they do not know, and the fact that the grapes are usually carted away at night in trucks with the owmer’s name obscured has increased the mystery. The increased consumiption of un- fermented grape juice boested the price of vineyard fruit at the begin- ning of the season. It is the mys- terious buyers, however, who have added the $50 to the ton price of fresh grapes and ese buyers are said to be active in all the grape- growing sections of Burlington, Glou- cester and Atlantic counties. TO AID HOME BUYERS. NEW ORLEANS, August 20.—Plans for a second-mortgage company to finance the first payment on the home- stead of dependable persons have been concerted as a result of the housing crisis here. Homestead companies lend 30 per cent of the value of the property, requiring a margin of 20 per cent of the first payment to protect them. Many reliable persons are un- able to make this first payment, and it is for them that the new second- mortgage company will be formed. | S.&W. CROP REVIEW.

It was found August 6 on the beach at Santa nica. The barrels have never been recovered. King, the newspaper story states. when shown photographs of the gun stock held By the investigators, brought out a repair tag, showing that workers in the shop had re- paired such a gun as the .one in question July 27. King said that only the stock of the gun, wrapped in a newspaper, was brought to his place. The young man who brought it, he said, gave the name of “Barker” without initials. He said he could not positively identify Arthur C. Burch from photographs as the man who asked that it be re. pairde. Burch, with Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain, is held under charges of murdering Kennedy. It is expected King will be given an opportunity to visit' Burch in the county jall today in an attempt to identify hfm as the repairman’s cus- tomer. This is the third day since Ralph R.
