A commercial paper announces that the public is buying wheat at the eleventh hour. It has kept the public hustling the other ten hours to ac- cumulate the necessary money to buy at present prices ——— the bill. The distribution of deposits took place in 18%, and for nty years the states have had the use of $25,000,000, ang without Interest. The money was derived from sales of public land and was “depos- fted” with the states in proportion to their representation in congress, and was to be returned when congress called for it.

These smaller companies, acting inde- pendently, have a combined capacity sufficient to be a material factor in holding down the price, Combined, they will doubtless, act in harmony with the other large producers. If the statement of those back of the proposed combine s true, that in the past prices have not been remun- erative to the producer, some one be- |a tween the producer and consumer must have been getting more than a fair profit, and the equitable solution of the problem does not lie in com- bination to boost the price at the mine, but in cutting out what has been in- tercepted between the producer and the consumer. The real truth probably lies be- tween the two statements. The com- bination is not formed because the miner has not made money, but be- cause the promoters think they see a chance to make more by means of an alliance with the blg producers with- out disturbing the profits of the trans- portation and selling companies. As | usual in such cases, the consumer is not consulted, and his only part in the combination is to pay the freight. The state of Colorado might step in and prevent the consummation of the deal, but it has as yet manifested no disposition to do so, and its past rec- ord leaves no ground to hope that it will. than there was for the sacred ratio of 16 to 1, or the 25 per cent in the Bryan anti-trust remedy.

In the industrial world the first of May is usually approached with more or less apprehension. It practically marks the new year in many indus- trial lines in which wage scales and working agreements must be read- Justed to changing conditions. For this reason it is often prolific of strikes involving in many instances great loss to both employer and employe, and not uncommonly violence and blood- shed. One of the most encouraging signs of the present is the absence of indica- tions of serious disturbances or strikes of an extended character. The anthra- cite coal miners, it is true, have not =|a8 yet come to agreement with the employers on the scale which expired April 1, but the faith of both parties | that a common basis will be reached is exemplified by the fact the men are continuing to work under the old scale pending ' a settlement. They would scarcely do this and allow a surplus of product to be piled up on the dumps if they were not confident that a strike would be unnecessary to reach an agreement. The reductions in wages in the big steel mills, due to lower prices for the product, have not brought about any extensive strikes. Next to the coal miners and steel workers, the bullding trades are the storm centers, and it would be too | much to expect that conditions so di- verse and interests sc varied could get through the season without strikes and lockouts somewhere. While there are some building trade troubles now in progress of considerable magnitude, compared with many previous years, they are insignificant and present prospects are they will be reduced to the minimum. Building activities, which are of large proportions partic- ularly in westérn cities, may there- fore be expected to proceed without serious interruption.

Uniformity in Treasury Notes. The Treasury department is about to put into effect a plan to systemize and simplify the designs on the va- | rious issues of paper currency. While the methods of acquiring the notes will be just as dificult and com- plicated as ever, under the old plan there were nineteen different designs and under the new there will be only nine. The multiplicity of designs has been confusing to those who handle large sums of currency and are forced to handle it rapidly and those who handle less have had little opportun- ity to gain a speaking acquaintance with all of them.
