POORER TURKES | FLODDING ARKET Crooked Breast and Cull Stock Selling as Low as 30 and 35 Cents Today. Turkey raisers are shipping their erooked breast turkeys and culls to the local market, apparently anxious .to get rid of the stock they do mnot intend to carry over for this year's Christmas market. Price of such stock is far below that charged for fancy stock, according to market reports, there being no demand for them. Such turkeys sold as low as 80 and 35 cents today. Weather conditions the past days enabled raisers to ship dressed stock to market. There still Js a falrly good demand for choice turkeys, hotels and restaurants continuing to serve them. Choice dressed stock ®old at 45 and 48 cents this morning, the live ones bringing 40 and 42. Dealers believe the low price has been reached in the egg market, price of current receipts remaining at 23 cents. Reports of steady egg markets in the large cities in the t and West suggest to local dealers that prices soon may advance. Today's Wholesale Prices.

Irrespective of political arrange- ments, Americans are becoming world- minded to an increasing extent. Dollars are being exported without regard to national boundary lines to places that seem to offer the great- est return. In the last two years the bull, or rising, markets in security prices in Germany have been an outstanding ffx!ure of the world financial situa- tion. What country will be the next great, center of speculation? The answer to this question s in the future, but it is interesting that numerous financiers who have taken profits on their Teuton speculations are switching to French stocks. Large quantities of equities in French enterprises are being imported to this country and to other lands outside of France. Incidentally, this movement of securities provides France with new capital in lleu of foreign loans, which are temporarily interdicted in the London and New York markets. Paving Way for Revival. A shrewd economist, who has studied the French economic gituation closely, in conversation with me, said: “France has gone far toward placing its’finan- cial house in order. The temporary hard money depression has had the effect of curtailing imports and domes- tic production. ~As a resuit, the French people have been using up accumulated supplies, th way for a business rev . “'Of all French equities, I prefer bank stocks. The large banks during the earlier shrinkage in the exchange value of the franc protected them- selves by keeping large balances abroad in stable currencies. They are now in a position to recall those de- posits and take advantage of oppor- tunities in domestic hmsiness. I also like Jrench electrical companies, and also public utilities.” Some of the large houses have agen- oies abroad, searching for opportuni- ties in varlous classes of French stocks, including industrial {issues. Italy is also being closely watched by foreign financlal interests. “shoulders, 21a22; loins, 28: smoked hams, 28a30; smoked shoulders, 18a20.

Having emerged from the severe I: bor troubles of last year, England is making progress toward recovery, and the trade outlook there is more rose- ate than it has been at any time since the signing of the armistice. Germany is imitating American busi- ness more closely than any other Eu- ropean country. No other Old World nation has sent more engineers to this country re- cently to study the technique of mass production than Germany. The Germans were shrewd enough to perceive that the American system of mass production rests on a base of mass consumption. Accordingly, Germany in recent years has gone in for the American system of financing consumption through installment plan schemes. The New German System. In Germany new elements have been added to the scheme of flnancing con- sumers. So-called consumers’ banks have been organized. These banks lend purchasing power to borrowers, who receive a special form of check book. With this credit the purchaser may buy from any of the merchants com- rised in the combination up to the imit of the grant. The customer usually makes a moderate cash pay- ment and pays the remainder in credit checks. On presenting the check to the credit institution the merchant re- ceives within three days the full cash amount less expenses for collection. The merchant is thus relieved of financing cares, and the consumer is indebted only to the finance company. The consumers’ banks in Germany play a role similar to timat of the American finance companies, who buy the promissory notes of partial pay- ment buyers of automobiles and other products. However, the German sys- tem has made still easier the system of buying now and paying later. ‘The German system is expensive to the consumer, who must pay about 20 per cent for the accommodations. THE BUSINESS OF GETTING AHEAD. What Makes for Leadership? The will to lead is as important a quality for leadership as the capacity to lead. - Early success, though it may turn the head of the weak-minded, is a gent, for it creates a habit and an at- titude of mind. If morons, misfits and mediocre in- dividuals are eliminated, the observer of men in business discovers that those of fairly equal ability are fre- quently distributed in jobs varving significantly in rank and importance. Some men of genuine native ability are laggards because they are con- tent to be second rate men. Others of equal mentality and equipment rise far above them because of a flaming urge to reach the top. Efficacy of Wishing. William James, the philosopher, be- lieved in the eficacy of wishing. “In almost any subject,” he wrote, “your passion for the subject will save you. If you only care enough for a result, you will almost certainly attain it. If you wish to be rich, you will be rich; if you wish to be good, you will be good. Only you must, then, really wish these things, and wish them with exclusiveness, and not wish at the same time a hundred other in compatible things just as strongly.” First rate men have faith in them- selves. They have the courage of their convictions. They believe that busi- ness problems are soluble and set out to find the answers to them. They are restless and eager to lead. If their ambition is backed by competence, they come to the top, and constitute the creative leaders of business. Others, who would show up just as well in an Intelligence test, are more backward. They distrust themselves. They magnify their limitations and minimize thefr mental and moral a sets. They shrink from responsibility, and are content to take orders from others. They prefer security in their mediocre jobs to the zest of combat for first honors. Has Sense of Perspective. The business leader is capable of visualizing the problems and oppor- tunities of the enterprise as a whole. He also has a sense of perspective: a flair for rejecting unimportant de tails and for concentrating his ener. gies on what is significant. He al ways has more ideas than he can work out himself, and, therefore, is able to fertilize the imagination of those who come in contact with him.

BY J. C. ROYL) Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, March 2.—America was largely responsible for the big South Africa diamond rush in the Lichtenburg district, which got out of hand and necessitated cancellation of all the claims located and resulted in announcement that the government would hold another “rush” Friday. America already holds a very large part of the world's precious stones and jewels. In addition, America are buying more than hundred million dollars’ worth of jewels each year. Customs receipts show that $40,- 000,000 worth of diamonds are brought here each year. This valu- ation does not include the duty on the stones, nor include cutting, mounting or setting. With this huge demand, America is the dominant factor for the moment in the dia- mond markets of the world. It is a question, Louis tler, well known Parisian jeweler now on a visit here, where the future supply of stones will come from. Soviet Treasures Sold. “The Soviets have sold all treasures,” he said, “and the best examples of precious stones have | always come from the old mines now being worked out. 1 foresee a large rise in the price of precious Stones in a short time, due to the fact that the floating supply of old stones is exceedingly small and rests in the hands of existing firms. There is no doubt that diamonds, pearls, meralds, very large rubles and sap- phires are always in great demand and will, as they have for a ‘long time, dominate the fashion in jewel “America {s destined to become the Breat international art center within the next 25 Years. Almost all great art creations have flourished in a fleld of gold. That is what the United States is today. Spain was the center in the fifteenth and sixteenth cen- turies when the riches of the world were pouring into Spanish coffe France in the seventeenth centu d England in the elghteenth wit- nessed the flourishing of art coinci- dent with national power and wealth. It {s now America's great opportuni- ty to produce through its painters, sculptors, poets, goldsmiths or jew- eler craftsmen.” No small part of the precious stones in America are bought with the idea of convertible wealth in mind. Ir many circles jewels take the place of savings accounts, and represent a se- curity readily convertible into cash. ‘Then, too, among a certain number, a diamond is the concrete symbol of financial prosperity and success, and often is the first thing bought to sig- nify to the owner as well as to out- iders a_change and improvement in stat ngagement rings alone pur- chased in 1927 will undoubtedly repre- sent two scores million dollars. Protection Great Expense. The protection of precious stones entails a tremendous expense for every nation in the world, for jewels are held responsible for more crimes than any other form of wealth. From the day the rough stone is picked from the gravel or wrenched from an oyster shell, it is guarded. Workmen are searched inside and out, the X-ray simplifying the former investigations. No small part of the duties of the customs officers of the world are de- voted to preventing jewel smuggling, while if jewels were non-existent the police forces of most cities might be cut in half. Diamonds have never gone out of style, but the style of diamond cut- ting and setting varles as rapidly as the designs of women's millinery. The present vogue tends toward the long four-cornered designs or to square- cut_diamonds. “The jeweler is the slave of the dressmaker,” M. Cartier concluded, “for he creates for the dressed, not the undressed woman. But neverthe- less he can aect independently and go to the arts for his inspiration whether that art is of the past or of the mod- ern jazz-skyscraper type.” FIRM REORGANIZED. NEW YORK, March 2 (#).—Reor- ganization of the American Writing Paper Co.. has been completed and the new company has begun to function. Sidney L. Willson, presi- dent, said the new company has re- talned 16 of the 26 mills and will con- fine its operations to these mills, all but two of which are in Holyoke, Mass.

With some $7,000,000,000 to be pour- ed out into investment channels this year, bankers feel that the time has come for rallroad stocks to be offered to the investing public. Increased earnings and an ability to improve thelr situation through their own ef- forts has created a feeling of confi- dence, bankers say, in partnership se- curities of rallroads.
