GENERAL BUSINESS CONDITIONS.
Of nil tlic reviews f business conditions issued by the var-
ious authorities none appear to its to be so manifestly based upon
a calm and clear consideration of actual facts as the monthly bul-
letin of the National City Hank of New York. Uninfluenced either
by optimism or pessimism M'. Roberts the author of .the bul-
letin analyzes conditions and draws bis conclusions in a way
that makes them of high value to all business men. I'Vom the
bulletin issued the first of this month vc quote as follows:
t "The general feeling in busmen circles is one of strengthe.ning
confidence that the corner has been turned and that l'22 will
be a belter year than 1921. The improvement in fundamental
conditions and in general feeling since the first of the year has
been very marked; indeed from the middle of January to the first
of March optimism was perhaps ovcr-prouounccd and a moderate
reaction in s"ne ins has naturally resulted.
"The stock market which is prompt to reflect and even anti-
cipate cl'.a"es in fundamental conditions lias been creeping up-
ward for Ihe Inst six mouths in a slow but persistent movement
which sugges's faith that better days are coming.
"Railroad traffic as ind;cated by the reports of car-loadings
since lle f;rt of the year has bevn running ahead of last year
although January gross earnings were about 16 per cent below
those of the same month of 1921. On the other hand the net
earnings of 199 roads were $57421005 in January against 28331-
S in January 1921 which reflects the reduction in operating ex-
penses. Increased railroad expenses. Increased loadings are not
reflecting in increased revenues until several weeks later because
freight charges are collected upon the delivery of goods. Tit pro-
gressive gain in loadings is shown by the increase of 8 per cent
in February and approximately double that in March in each case
over the corresponding months of last year.
: "Trading in all lines is on a short order basis. Foreign buyers
wish to avoid the risk of exchange fluctuations so far as possible.
There is general agreement that both at home and abroad stocks
have been worked down to the minimum and that there must be
constant buying to meet the demands for current consumption.
This is one respect in which the situation is decidedly more favor-
able than it was in the latter part of 1920 and throughout most
f 1921. Sir James Wilson a well known -British' authority upon
wheat is quoted as estimating a surplus in world supplies of 80-
000000 bushels at the end of the crop year.
"The steel industry has made a marked recovery the United
States Steel Corporation now operating at about 70 per cent of
capacity and the independent companies in the aggregate at prob-
ably 60 per cent. When it is considered that production capacity
has increased about 50 per cent since before the war it will be
seen that this is far from a state of stagnation. Prices stiffened
in several lines of steel products and Judge Gary answering an
inquiry as to the policy of the corporation has stated that it was
disposed to follow the lead of the independents in making prices.
"The computation of average prices upon fourteen leading
iron and steel products by the Iron Trade Review shows a compo
site for the last week in March of 3.U0 compared with .it.Ni last
week $32.87 two weeks ago $32.86 for all February $33.45 for
Tanuarv and 27.93 for March. 1913.
"The revival of the demand for iron and steel may be due
in some decree to miscivines on the part of the public that th
coal strike may interfere with production but it is indirectly due
m part to the extensive equipment order'' that have been give
bv the railroads who have ordered more cars in the last thrc
months than in all of last year. The implement industry although
still far from normal is much better than at this time last year
and that is the case also with the automobile industry and even
more so with the building industry.
"The chief factor in the change of sentiment which has oc
curred since the first of the year has been the rise in prices o
farm products. It came so easily and naturally as to demonstrate
that the country had been' suffering from excessive pessimism and
th:it in the natural order of thintrs the economic situation given
reasonable time would recover its equilibrium. Grain prices in
March lost a part of their February gains but the reasons were
obvious and there was no serious loss of confidence.
"On the -whole there seems to be a good basis for believing
that agriculture in all branches will have a better market for the
next crop tnan tor ine last one. me wuim-i cw.-i3 ait uiui.nuS
and we believe that the necessary readjustments to bring industry
that thev shn 1 continue to decline. It is in
the interest of all business that the farmers the most numerous
class in the country shall have a fair show in the field. With
agricultural' production increasing in Europe the farmer cannot
expect the prices of his products to go bacK to tne mgu leveis
due to the war and if he has made mistakes of judgment by buy-
ing property at high prices he has lots of company among people
who are not farmers but he has a right to expect mat one way
or another his products shall have a purchasing power in rela
tion to other commodities and services equal to that of before the
war. Wre do not think that much can be done by. means at legisla-
tion in spenrp this to him. but are positive . in our opinion that
economic law will bring it to him and we counsel all other groups
to cheerfully accord it to him as rightfully due."

PRESENT DAY MORALS.
We are not inclined to give much heed to the present scandal
in Hollywood. There has been one statement made with which
we agree. Present day morals are as good as those in the old
days says Rupert Hughes after an investigation of the famous
light life in the movie colony.
There may be those who long for the good old days but we
subscribe to the theory that the world is growing much better.
Within the span of twenty years the saloon has been abolished
gambling at the race tracks has .been suppressed and there js
hardly a city in America where the red light swings brazenly in
the night air. . '
The world is progressing.. The occasional report of an in-
crease iii crime means nothing. Record keeping i9 becoming an
exact science. If records existed for various forms of crime two
decades ago we should be glad to wager that a comparison would
show that the world is indeed rapidly becoming a better place in
.which to live. McAlester News-Capital. . j

Real Prosperity Is In
Producing at Profit
With the increase in prices of all commodities an in-
crease in 'business activity has arrived. Business ; is
moving cautiously but it is moving and on a safe and
t
sane basis. Economy is the new slogan on the farm
as well as in business. If a cow is not producing
enough butterfat she goes to the butcher. If the mer-
chant finds a department costing in operation above its
returns it is closed out. The reckoning period has
passed and folks have returned to first principles that
the only real prosperity is in producing at a profit.
