These are figures of The farmers great significance. have produced nearly as much in quantity, but it has been valued in the exchanges at less than one-ha- lf the figures of 1919. As other products and services have not declined in like degree, the farmers must buy much less, and all the industries are suffering in consequence. It is useless to expect a return to normal i conditions while this disparity of compensation between peat bodies of producers exist It is unfair and it establishes an effective blockage against a revival of business. It is time that the business community took cognizance of the situation, and set itself to the task of correcting it. The argument that stock on hand was purchased at higher prices has lost whatever force it ever had. Merchants who are interested in the return of prosperity should do their part for it, and one of their duties is to reduce operating costs. ! In large part the situation is chargeable to the action of organ-- : ized jabnr in clinging to the war-- ; time wage rates. Raw materials and foodstuffs have had a great decline at wholesale, but between the wholesale markets and consumers r the cost of handling and manufac-- : turing has not declined in like proportions. The effect is to obstruct the distribution of goods and throw millions of out of employment, at the same time keeping up the cost of living on the entire g population. In the aggregate there is no gain, but a as a great loss, to the .

If a company can save money by operating its own shops it should do so, and by the same reasoning if money can be saved by letting out that should be done. The claimed by the organizers of the movement. The first effect of the revised estimate was to cause cotton to sell off, January contracts going under 17 cents, but since then with jjood in the cotton goods .conditions trade prices have advanced about two cents the pound. Exports of cotton since June have been well above those of the corresponding months of last year, and there is some feeling in the British cotton trade that world stocks of cotton goods are low and that better buying is not far oil. Trade in India is unfavorably affected by the patriotic boycott of British goods. XN is necessary to consider the shops operation always has " 247-- J. the-wor- railroads are maintained primarily to give service to the public, and the public is entitled to have them operated upon a level of costs corresponding to what the public pays and receives for like labors and services. Continuity of service and merit in service may well be recognized, but compensation should be based upon the value of services rendered. Any other system would make railroad employes a favored class, at the expense, not of the railroad companies, but of the public, including millions of people who have less pay than the railroad men. We have a letter from Montgomery, Ala., in which the writer says The " Government's final report makes this country's production of wheat about 54,000,000 bushels above former figures. Exports for the twenty-fiv- e weeks ended December 22, as reported by Bradstreet's aggregated 231,000,000 bushels against 238,000,000 in the corresponding time last year. The market has been unsettled and but at the Decemend of fluctuating, ber was upon about the same level as the at beginning. The world's needs and supplies seems to be closely balanced in this crop, but the growing crop in this country is rated at a low condition. The West has a surplus of core which rests heavily upon the market, but prices have held their own during the past month, and gained a couple of cents, partly on the strength of for Russia. prospective purchases Cattle are depressed, but hogs around in Chicago $7 per hundred-weigyield a fair return to the farmer who has grown a good crop of corn. Dairy products also are bringing fair prices. ' Farmers who own their land and are out of debt can get along very well under present conditions, although local taxes have been pushed up in recent years until they are: as much as rent was twenty years ago. Farmers who went into debt for land at the prices ruling two years ago have an interest charge which cannot be met from the land. This will be.tho first year in a great many in which numerous defaults will occur in ilw payment of interest upon farm mortgages. There is good reason to believe iiv. present prices for farm products a about the lowest that will be srer. The last two seasons have be.--n at, usually favorable for the grain crops. The carry-ovof wheat cats inly will not be large and the growing crop has a poor start. It would be to have another bumper corn" yield after three great crops, and triers is reason to believe that less corn will be planted this year. Moreover, it it likely that the hog crop will be increased. During the years when com brought high prices, it became the popular thing to sell corn and a good many farmers got out of hogs. They are likely to get back to a more evenly balanced agriculture, with more milch cows, more pigs, more grass aiul for. age crops and more scientific culture. : "The producers are forced to sell beef for from IK to 3 cents per pound and hides for from 1 to 3 cents and the consumers pay from 25 to 40 cents per pound for steak and from $8 to $1S per pair for shoes. The same is true of all otter products. The negro porters on railway trains cet a salary of from $100 to $200 per month or eight hours of easy work a day; while the farm laborers work from 10 to 14 hours a day in the dew and cold and receive a salary of from $8 to $15 per month, and Uie farmer loses money paying that salary. Something is radically wrong and I fear the result will not be good for our country." The prospect is for a cessation of when existing contracts expire on April 1st The pay for mining coal is so far above what it was before the war that the price of coal is one of the most serious obstacles to the general reduction of living costs and the revival of industry. The increased cost of coal and increased cost of transportation are causing more unemployment and more hardship in this country than any other two influences that can be named. No predictions tan be ventured as to when industry will be running full time so long as it labors under such handicaps. Agricultural Conditions Conditions in the agricultural sections are far from inspiring, but in the cotton country the feeling is a little better. The final government estimate upon the cotton crop is 8,340,000 ' bales, which compares with the October estimate of 6,537,000 bales, an increase that might have been expected to play smash with the market. The explanation given for this extraordinary revision is that the Department of Agriculture was crippled in the bureau of estimates by a reduction of its force of investigators, and was misled as to the acreage planted in cotton. The ginnings proved the inaccuracy of the October estimate, and the conclusion seems to be forced that the acreage curtailment was much less than : coal-mini- ht 0 LOOK back upon the past year, and see how little we have striven, and to what FIRST CLASS SHOE small purpose, and how often we have been cowREPAIRING ardly and hung back, or We absolutely guarantee our temerarious .and rushed unwisely in; and how every day and all day long work.
