SUMMARY OF BUSINESS CONDITIONS.
' Business activity has been transferred to a new field. Im
portant gaina are shown in basis industries simultaneously with a
disappointing spring retail trade in many parts of the country,
is the report issued by the Bank of Commerce at New York.
! The steel industry of the United States, the movement of
which has been accepted for many years as a business index, has
recently shown marked expansion. The industry as a whole is
how at 70 per cent of capacity. Demand is well distributed
throughout all classes of products, and is well sustained on the
higher price levels which are being established. Important in this
connection is the fact that a largo proportion of the new orders
reported is for railroad equipment. Pig iron production is at the
highest figure since January, 1921. The monthly rate of steel
jngot production approximates that of 1913. Unfilled orders of
jhe United States Steel Corporation on March 31 were 4,494,000
jons.
; Copper is moving steadily and stocks are being gradually
reduced, while producers are cautionsly increasing output There
is a good demand for lead and the price has advanced slightly.
The rate of consumption of tin in the plate trade is reported to be
as high as for any corresponding period except during the abnor
mal war years. It is expected that zinc smelting operations will
be increased shortly, and some expansion of mine output will nat
urally follow. . .
The manufacture of automobiles and of tires and other acces
sories is expanding rapidly, although this is undoubtedly seasonal
Jo a considerable degree. Retail trade in goods not designed for
personal and household consumption shows improvement. The
hardware business is better hot only in builders' hardware, but in
the many classes of miscellaneous purchases by farmers. Agri
cultural implement sales have increased and there is a definite
expansion In the fertilizer business, activities in both lines being
in excess of even the expected seasonal demand.
The return to normal conditions is not an orderly process,
and activity may shift unexpectedly from one point to another.
The set-back in retail trade is the direct consequence of two fac
Jors. Buying by farmers, long at a low level because of unprofit
able prices for farm products, has hot shown much improvement,
s farmers have very little money, and their buying power can not
expand materially before autumn even if the current year's crops
ire good. They are wisely using their credit to buy fertilizer,
fools and other necessaries of their business. Buying by workers
In cities has declined heavily the cumulative effect of prolonged
tnemployment. It now seems likely that retail trade will con
tinue at not far from its present levels or better until the normal
fciidsummer dullness occurs. If gains in basic industries prove
permanent the autumn offers promise of expanding retail opera
lions on a stable basis.
Z The progress of the nation toward normal business has not
Hopped ; operations have merely shifted to ft new field.

this country when very young. Dur
ing his lifetime he kept In touch with
his native town by medium of Its
newspaper and for over a half cen
tury has been a subscriber of that
paper which he read thoroughly.
When the Yoncalla townsite was
opened by G. W. Burt, Mr. Letsom
waa its only resident. He was the
"villiage blacksmith," and though, at
that time he had the "village" all to
himself, he bad a very flourishing

his shop for their repairs.
He retired from the blacksmlthlng
business over a quarter of a century

Ho was a firm friend of Hon

his first visit to Yoncalla In fifteen
years to hear Mr. Hermann deliver
an sddress.
"John Letsom was one of my dear
rst frlonds and I am deeply grieved
to hear of his death, ' Mr. Hermann
said. "Ho was a man of sterling
character, temperate, honest and
law abiding. He was never" demon
strative but a man of fixed opinions,
His life In this county has been of
much real worth and his passing Is
a distinct Joss.''
