BUSINESS AND THE OUTLOOK. Philadelphia Record. YVith October the Federal Reserve* Bank of Philadelphia, in <*o-operation , with the Department of Labor and In dustry of New Jersey and Pennsylvania,, will when the scope of its sur-{ vc.v of industrial employment and wages , lo include all of the States of Pennsyl-1 vania. New Jersey and Delaware, in-! stead of only that part now included in I the Philadelphia Reserve district. This | is an important change, and the fluctua tions noted front time to time in so large' and varied a territory will serve as a val uable index of prevailing business con ditions. -'Fhe bank's summary as of Oc tober 1 notes ’gradual aud seasonal im provement iff some lines, tempered by ir regularity in others. At the same time prices, although stil fluctuating, show ed a tendency to rise. In certain indus tries sales have not been quite up to ex pectations. and buyers as a rule have purchased sparingly for future delivery.” Textile industries are reported as more active during the month, and both buy ing and production have increased. The demand for iron and steel products fail ed to show the increase expected in .Sep tember. Building permits issued in the district, during August compared favor ably with the July record. Paper man ufacturers report improvement in de mand, with inure activity - ' in printing find publishing industries. No mluc tions in wages were reported, and only a negligible number of increases. With but few exceptions, total weekly pay rolls and average weekly earnings de clined in August as compared with July. -Saids in the retail Stores are running well ahead of last year, while the whole sale trade rei>orts increasing demand, with sales in excess of the Corresponding period of 1022. The third quarter closed with large consumption of goods, but with forward i buying restricted in different instances, ; according to Dun's review of trade eon |ditions. Domestic business had expand jed so rapidly during the early months this year, and so many needs were then cov ered ahead, that a subsequent contrac tion of purchasing was to be expected. !AY ith the depleted supplies largely re ' plenished. pressure upon manufacturing | autumn season thus far, although mark- I ed by increased operations in some lines, i has not brought a genera! broadening of activities. .Each week's reports emphasize the ir regularities of the situation, both as to demand and prices, and conservatism remains a strongly defined feature. It is manifest that more consideration is being given to the question of price now* than was the case when the requirements were', more urgent. According to the reports to the Unit ed States Geological Survey, a now high r,<f*ord fn petroleum production was made in August,-with a total of 2,110.871 barrels a day. California's production of 852.003 barrels daily average showed a gain. The steel market in Pittsburgh shows greater quietness. Consumption seems practically as heavy as ever, but more mills are able to make prompt shipments and the railroads are able to insure ex peditious deliveries. Forward buying does not seem necessary when the belief is* that pfide’s will decline rather than advance. Steel production has been showing a greater tendency to- decline than in the period from May 1 to Sep tember 1 . Cotton estimates showing a discrep ancy between estimates of world cotton stocks of over 1,000,000 bales have beeu declared by Government, officials to be without greater significance than a dif ference of methods used by the two agen cies in collecting data. In the estimates of cotton consumption there a. dis crepancy of only 65,000 bales in the two reports. The Department of Commerce in its report gives the cotton consump tion for 1023 as 20.050.000 bales, and the International Federation of Cotton Spinners, in London, at 20,885,000 bales. The decline of raw cotton from the re cent high point and apparent apathy on the part of buyers have contributed to irregularity iu the cotton yarn market, with prices continuing to advance. For eign markets in wool were strong. While the domestic wool market has been well sustained, says The Commercial Bulle tin. the volume of business lisa been less than in the preceding week. WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE Annual Session to Be Held in Winston- | Salem October 16-21. Raleigh. X. C., Oct. 5. —Optimism | characterizes the monthly cotton report i for October issued here today by Frank < Parker, •agricultural statistician of the j Co-operative Crop Reporting Service. i ‘‘The cotton crop in North Carolina is 1 unusually good, considering the various ] agencies that have worked towards its , detriment, including the boll weevil, cot- 1 ton caterpillar aud the weather,” reads J the report. “Nature seems to have been i pleased, particularly pleased with North 1 Carolina inasmuch as she has given us ( Ihe earliest July crop in history, thereby i getting ahead of the boll weevil. Even 1 (hough the weevil did hit the crop hcav- i ily after the first of August, several sec- i tions. even Robeson County, bad quite a | sprinkling of bolls to set and develop as- , ter that time. Naturally, with a rather 1 heavy growth of foliage due to heavy fertilization and a very slight or entire ly lacking evidence of bolls on the upper half of the plant, the average farmer un derestimated his prospective yield. "In September, the cotton caterpillar did terrific damage by stripping foliage, incidentally revealing that the number of setting bolls on the lower part of the plant was greater than realized. The killing of the leaves will result in ear lier maturity and opening of the bolls, as well as easier, and cleaner picking of the crop. These conditions-warrant the statement that North Carolina was par ticularly blessed in a cotton crop undey the boll weevil conditions that existed.. “Our entomologists explain that the cotton caterpillar is not an army worm, although its habits would indicate it so. In fact, the moth of this pest winters in Mexico. Consequently, it takes all the summer for them to reach us after their appearance in Texas in the early spring. "Concerning the condition of the crop, it is found that the best area is in the northern part of the belt, with a favora ble peninsular projecting down even to Scotland and part of Robeson County through Hoke and Harnett and up to Durham County. As is generally known, the worsti conditions prevail in tlie coastal counties. The fifty to sixty per cent, condition belt extends from lower Robeson northeastward to Albemarle Sound, passing through Bladen. Samp son. Duplin. Lenoir. Putt, Martin. Bertie Counties. “With a forecasted production for North Carolina of 877,000 bales based on 64 per cent, we have one ot the larg est crops the state lias over grown iu fact it is 25.000 bales more than lasi year's final production. The United States crop of 11.015.000 hales is 12 per .cent, more than last year's crop. The condition of 49.5 per cent’, for the cotton belt is approximately the same as the condition reported a year ago. Arizona, California, Oklahoma, Texas. South Car olina and Virginia have made conspicu ously* larger productions this year than in 1022.” ’ CHARGES UNITED STATES “REPUDIATES ITS CHILD” Europe. Weeping Mother, Never Wanted League. Primate Says. New Y'ork, Oct. 2.—-The League of Nations was described as a "child crip pled at birth and repudiated by its own father, the United States,” by Right Rev. Nathan Soederblom, Lutheran Arch bishop of Upsala, Primate of Sweden, at a dinner given in his honor tonight by the Lutheran Society of New York. -The father of that child," lie said, "now turns a deaf ear to the crying in fant. Europe, the poor mother, never really wanted it. Now the question is urgent. There are only two alterna tives. Shall 'the child he left to die, and give room for another stronger child with the same calling or will this father recognize his duties and help bring up tlio child? "This child born with prodigious possibilities and a great soul. I think it is a father's duty to take care of a crippled child, but, alas, it. is no un common thing that a father denies pater nity.” CASH CORN NOW ABOVE $1 PER BUSHEL AT CHICAGO Quoted at From 25 to 30 Cents Over Prices of One Year Ago. Chicago, Oct. 3. —For the first time since October, 1020, cash corn sold above $1 a bushel today. All futures turned strong and closed sharply higher. The October quotation was 03 1-2 cents. Cash wheat is but 10 cents a bushel over cash corn. The high price of the lat ter was 101 1-2. Corn is now 25 to 30 cents a bushel over the price the farmer obtained a year ago. RAW SILK IN JAPAN LEAPS UPWARD BY $35 A BALE American Buyers Complain That Japs Ace Holding Stocks. Tokio, Oct. s.—Raw silk advanced an other 70 yen ($35) today on the Yoko hama market. The new price is 2250 yen a bale. Sales of 1050 bales at that price were reported. Complaints have been received from American buyers that Japanese dealers are withholding stocks badly needed to keep mills in the United States busy this winter. Keeping Money in the South. The Southern Railway System banks in the South. Transportation receipts from day to day throughout the System are deposited in Southern banks. The total amount of these deposits in the txvelve months ending June 30, 1023, was $251,401,035. This waS an average' of $150,503 for each banking hour. Tltpse deposits are drawn against to ! pay wages, taxes, interest and dividends, I and to meet our bills for coal, materials j and other expenses of operation. The total expenditures of the Southern in the South in *1022 were $20,000,000 in excess of our receipts from the South. Guard Dies of Wounds. Eddyville, Ky., Oct. 4.—V. B.

In summarizing the notes, lie said. "North Carolina lias perhaps the best condition, considering all phases of agricultural work, that it has ever ex perienced. The late summer seasons have been good and the areas which have suffered from drought have largely re cuperated. as have those districts where crops were damaged by rainfall' in An- j gust. Aside from the prices of farm j products, the results will be highly sat- I isfactory this year. Fall work may be somewhat late in getting started, due to i the shortage of labor and the necessity : of harvesting crops needing immediate I attention. In traveling parts of the State field counts of fallowed land \gpre ! made and the number was surprisingly low compared with the amount of stub- j hie land available for plowing." Mr. Parker's note follows in full : "Corn—The corn crop is unusually good, especially as regards to the yield of grain. Plants may be somewhat small, hut they seem to be planted more closely than usual. The fact that 75 per cent, of the acreage is harvested for fodder or forage makes this an import ant factor. It was conspicuous that fields where fops were cut showed the ears unusually low. "Wheat—The wheat crops has not yet begun to be planted, but some prepara tion is under way. From general re- : ports, the acreage may be reduced, e This ! year's crop was unusually good. "Oats and rye—Since these crops are ' used for hay. as well as grain and much of the grain for feed, the prospect for increased acreage is good, particularly ’ in the seriously damaged boll weevil j counties. The preparation for the planting of these crops has barely begun. I "Cotton—The cotton crop is much bet ter than was expected a month ago. The cotton caterpillar has eaten most of the foliage, leaving the plants much the same as if a heavy frost had hit them. This has resulted in hastened maturity and opening of bolls, as well as permitted faster and cleaner picking. The so called top crop is short or lacking, but the early or July crop is seen to be un usually heavy. The picking should be completed' early in November. "Tobacco—Although the yield per acre will be heavier than usual, the quality is only fair. There is such a small per centage of good quality tobacco that the medium grades are bringing good prices, especially if they have good color. Col- I oring in the bright leaf belt is an im portant factor. The plants this year were permitted to grow larger than us ual. In fact, the farmers complained of the growth being too late, due to wet weather conditions iu eastern Caroliua. "Hay—Last year’s hay crop was one of the best in the State’s history. This year's acreage may not be so large, but the yield xvill be good. Soy bean hay is increasing rapidly in acreage all over the State. "Truck —Sweet potatoes are looking good and at this season of the year oe j cupy distinctly the largest acreage of truck crops. Cabbdges are being grown • and are in good condition. A large kraut factory has beeu opened in YVa tauga county, in which tons of cabbages are expected to be hapdlpd daily. It is worked on the co-operative plan. The Irish potatoe crop is good and more than -the usual acreage of late potatoes was planted in the eastern part of the state. “Fruit—According to our field count records, the agriculture apple crop is much better than was expected, while the commercial crop i« varied and has an average condition less than the* ag riculture .crop. There are no fall peaches.” Earth Shocks Felt at Quebec., Quebec, Oct. 6.—Earth shocks were felt at 6:15 a. m. today. Many per sons were awakened by the shocks. A wall 63 years old was toppled. GEORGE HARVEY QI'ITS POST IN ENGLAND, AS DOES CHILD, Harvey Will Leave England About First j of Year. — Carrying Out Program. Washington, Oct. 4. —The resignation i <jf Ambassadors Harvey at London and ! Child at Rome submitted for private rea sons and under agreements reached with the Harding administration, have been accepted^marking the first big change in flie American diplomatic service since j President Coolidge took office, , Ambassador Harvey will quit his post j about the first of the year. Ambassador i Child, who has either left or is about to j leave Rome' for the United States, will j not go back. None of the other Ameri- I can ambassadors or ministers, the state department said in making the aunounce | ment, has any similar agreement limiting his term of service as far as is known. The only explanation of the two reg isnations given in official quarters was ! that in both casen the ambassadors had a few months ago reached agreements j with President Harding as to the length of time they could continue at their I jKists. Whether they have deferred their retirement because of President Harding's death until President Coolidge should j feel that they could be spared was not | disclosed. In both oases there have been intimations, however, that the ambassa dors were finding their positions unduly burdensome in a financial way and that they felt that they must given attention to their personal affairs. When Ambassador Harvey was last in 'the United. States on a somewhat pro . longed leave, it was reported lie would i resign and take an active part in the .coming presidential campaign. However, ■ state department officials today limited ' their announcement to the statement that Mr. Harvey was about to retire and ! would do so in acordance with his uu ’ derstanding .with President Harding. | There was no official word available tonight as to succcesors President Cool- I idge might send to fill the jiost. At the ' state department it was not admitted that any step liad yet been taken to sound out the two governments as to suitabil- Sfate \V. C. T. U. to Meet. Greensboro.
