r 82 HOME-MARKET INJURED BY HIGH PRODUCTION COST 'All Authorities Agreed That Gener;l Re- ‘ ducfion in Al..l Available Ways Is Essen- ' -tial to Enlargement of Business. + B% L A. FLEMING. . Unemployment has been “promi- nently before the public durihg the last few weeks, evidencing, in a way, failure of American business inter- ests to make the most of the great American market, a market supply- ing the needs of 110,000,000 people, th the largest per capita wealth of any nation in the world, with the greatest natural resources and one of the few nations producing in larger percentage than any other the things needed to feed and clothe its popula- tion. That there has been failure to de- velop foreign trade to the point of ne- cessitating industrial activity, with general employment, is a fact not chargeable to either American indus- try or American finance, but one for which war is to.be blamed directly |and indirectly If theve is any fault to be laid at our door in this latter respect, it may be found in the fact that we cannot produce as cheaply as (Germany, nor yet as any other European country. The initiative and the money have not been lacking in efforts for foreign trade and to capture the available outside markets, but the results so far have proved either disastrous’ or negligible at best. Some of our leading bankers be- lieve that the United States can still win its way in foreign trade, but will have to be ably managed and ‘nrodurxlon costs materially reduced | to make the effort sucoessful. - It would seem as if the latter pro- vision was-most desperately needed that great combinations of .capital | THE - SUNDAY to stimulate the buying power of this \great domestic market. This and the fmuch required adjustment between the original cost anfl the cost price to the indlvidual buyer — the retail price. Americans were not a nation of profiteers before the war, but they are certainly afflicted with the disease at this time, and there are so many evidences of it in daily transactions that it cannot be denied. In no line is it stronger than that evidenced in the housing problem in all the large citles of the country. It was never intended that the American family should live in one room, nor yet in Awo' Tooms. With rents as they are today the two 1ooms, and even the one room, are likely to. become ' necessities, where the country was once a nation of home-owners. Moreover, realization of Inflated val- lues has created a desire to pass on the good thing to others, to refuse rentals and insist on sales. There are scores and hundreds and thousands of vacant places otherwise available, but vacant because of im- possible rents and for sale signs. So lonz as the old golden rule is a dead letter, and the high cost of living prevails, 50 long will labor protest wage reduction, even though forced to sub- mit by the evidence of millions unem- ployed. The threat of a strike of the railroad brotherhoods will probably end there, because such action would be anything ibut the part of wisdom—it's no time | to_add to the ranks of the unemployed. So long as there is such an evident disnarity between the cost and sale price of merchandise. and farm me: STAR, WASHINGTON, produce tthe public's pursestrings will open only for the wherewithal to buy necessities and the great domestic American market will not function fully and largely as it should. A Pittsburgh banker took to the American Bankers' Association, at Los Angeles, a new slogan, 80 he called it— one under which thé nation was to march back to prosperity—"Do unto others as ye would that they should do_unto you.” Utopl 1t is written differently these days: Do others be- fcre they do you. Dem: for Bomds. The bond market has been extremely active during the last few weeks, or since the money market became o eusy and the federal reserve bank of New York cut its discount rate to 5 per cent. The printing presses have been very busy, but the demand seems to_absorb new issues as fast as they are brought out, while old issues are moving up in the' general movement to employ idle funds. Liberty issues have paced the list to higher levels during the week, and it is possible that buying by the zovernment has been partially responsible. Washington public utility bonds have participated a little in the strength shown, but neither generally in the activity nor the strength. October is an off month in the matter of local interest and dividend disburse- ments, but not even a noticeable frac- tion of the disbursements paid by the Washington Railway and Electric Com- pany, the District Paper Company, the Washington Gas Company and a num- ber of banks has been reinvested here. Washington investors have been sorely hurt in their ventures and L a[——]a|c——=]al—=[olc—xlo]——=]o[———Z]o]——=lal———>a|——]o] i D. C, OCTOBER seem slow to make use of the facfl- ities of the New York bond or stock market while the narrowness of fhe home market operates in the same manner in Washington. They are running largely to Trea: ury certificates and three-year notes, for which there seems to be an inex- first haustible demand. is demand, at confined largely to the customers of the larg- er banks, has gradually extended to the general run of bank patrons. Moreover, investors in these se- curities are constantly reinvesting with each maturity, while the banks find their supply steadily reduced by the inquiry. Celumbia Graphophone. Columbia Graphone preferred stock has apparently about completed an- other spectacular cycle. It will be readily recalled that the stock had a ctacular rise recently of nearly nine points to about 223%. It was attended by the publication of & remarkable story in a New York paper concerning the wonderful in- crease in earnings of the company for the first eight months of 1921. Of course there were no net earn- ings and the story was a bald mis- statement. There is some question now as to whether it was not promulgated by some insiders and the advance made simply for the purpose of unloading a few hundred shares of the stock. The shares closed at 11% toda On the curb market the 8 per cent bonds of the corporation formed to build the Baltimore factory, guarsn- teed by the Graphophone Company, as it was debarred from issuing any bonds itself. by the agreement made when putting out the preferred stock at 95, are selling at 40, which can- not be said to be encouraging, either to the holders thereof or to the lumbia Graphophone shareholders. Gas Consumption. The record of the Washington Gas|p would bear out such z claim. ‘Two countries in particular have no unemployment problem. These. are Germany and Japan. - No' one who stands for human advancement will suggest that the American working man accept the wages and the living conditions of those countries. Never- theless, the German artisan is at work and the Japanese artisan is at work, simply because production costs in both ‘those countries have been re- duced 10 a busis that makes the whole world willing to buy their products. Not long ago the American coal miner was talking about a thirty-hour week. In the texlile industry of Japan the week consists of 132 hours. This means nearly nineteen hours a day for seven days a week. No true American wants any such conditions in the United tes. We are confronted, however, by the ne- cessity of reducing our production €OSts and our transportation costs. Organized labor lost its head during the war and for a year or so after- ward. Like the rest of us, it must get back to earth. i WEEK’S COTTON PRICES ADVANCE ON U. S.

The record of sales as made public through the association, giving fig- ures of gas sales since 1901, showing the constant increase in use of the product, follows: To make the gas consumed in house- holds and industry last year required 8,500,000 tons of bituminous coal, 2,000,- 000 tons of anthracite coal, 1,5 000 tons of coke and 960,000,000 lons of oil. Today the number of communities served by gas companies is 4,600, the meters number 8,580,000 and the main gas maips 68,300 miles, or enough to encircle the world nearly three times. The investment represents approxi- mately $4.,000,000,000. There are ncw over 7,000,000 gas- burning appliances in American homes, gas water heaters number approxi- mately 1,500,000 and gas heaters nearly 1,000,000. Hotels, clubs, restaurants and insti- tutions using gas for all cooking num- ber 71,490, while those using it in part number 13,776. “Because of its economy, cleanliness, cheapness and continuous and never- failing supply, such as has become pos- sible through the efficient plants serving the nation, the use of gas has muitiplied by leaps and bounds,” says the asso- clation, in commenting upon the sta- tistics. “The surface has barely been scratched in the use of gas for indus- trial purposes. The economic advantages of gas is causing it to rapidly replace many other fuels in industries and the betterment in working conditions is a big factor. “Gas, first used entirely for illumina- tion and then later for cooking, appears now to be entering its third and great- est stage of usefulness as an aid to industry, where it seems bound to find its greatest use. Unemployment Panacea. J. Wollman & Co.. New York have this to say on this 250 gal w. brokers, question: It is unfortunate for the great masses of people that their self-ap- pointed leaders have so little confi- dence in the common sense of the pub- lc. If it were not for this shortcom- ing, the question of unemployment would be most easily answered. The conference at Washington has been firmly committed to the idea that the iwage question should not be brought into the forefront of the discussion. in the forthcoming disarmament congress to jbar raising the question of naval} strength or standing armies. Unemployment is a social malady that cannot be cured by covering up the infected portions by such court plaster devices as “split employment,” increased expenditures for public works, or pleasing academic sugges- tions about arriving at a basis that is “fair to both capital and labo Unfortunately, the issue involved in unemployment is not between em- ployer and employe, but between one: group of producers and another whose products have to be interchanged, or between one country and another whose products have to be inter- changed. 1t may not be polite to mention wages in a discussion of unemploy- ment, but the whole problem revolves around the pivot of production costs. It is possible, for instance, that in the question of coal prices the item of profits is all important. This is extremely doubtful. When we come to the matter of transportation costs, it is possible that the railroads are profiteering in the charges on freight and passen ger traffic. It is doubtful if any audit BONDS. s:}.‘:l;o—Anl. ind Potomac River R. R. b8 12,000—C. and P.

Now that the last of the regular monthly crop reports is out of e way, traders seem more disposed to study the conditions of distribution, and a question has been raised as to whether the market could be.expected to absorb the increaxing new crop movement at the higher level of prices. Reports of large spot sales in the south on the rallies have con- tributed to uncertainty in this re- spect, but on Thursday's break to about the 191;-cent level for Decem- ber smaller spot offcrings were re- ported, while active buying for trade account is noted around the local ring, presumably to fix prices for foreign and domestic spinnérs.

Cotton on shipboard awaiting clear- ance at the end of the week amounted to 196.000 bales, against 111,000 last year. Reports from the goods trade stated that print cloths were avail- able at.second hands yesterday at slight concessions from the top. but a continued good volume of retail » | trade and wholesale distribution was | generally indicated by the week end reviews. Manchester reported contin- ued demand from China and occa- sional sales to India. NEW ORLEANS, La.. October 8.— Heavy selling pressure was felt by cotton today, both in the early and the late trading. In between the mar- ket met golid support, on which it re- covered and even went to small net advances. Selling was determined and persistent and wae done in the face of abnormally cold weather in the belt, accompanied by reports o damaging frosts in portions of north and west Texas and of Oklahoma and by a forecast of light frosts tonight for all states in the eastern belt. According to the gossip of the mar-. ket much of the selling was done by Japanese, Wall street and western in- terests. The Year 1921 to Date on the Washington Stock Exchange. Furnished by W. B.
