Newspaper Page Text21 TIIE MORXIXG OREGONIAX TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1919- SIRS lies E DESPITE HIGH COSTS Credit, Life-Blood of Business, Is Abundant'. CROPS ARE ABOVE AVERAGE National Report Compiled From Data by 1879 Industrial Leaders Indicates Prosperity. Harris. Winthropfc Co.. stock ex change firm of New York and Chicago, has just issued a unique report upon business conditions in the Lnitea States. It is described as a b;ros Section of Facts and Feeling Busi ofM America as Reported by 1979 Men of Affairs." It is compiled from tne replies received to a questionnaire sent out by the banking firm, which con tained 30 queries relating to the facts of the business situation, the feeling of business men and the public generally toward the many important economic questions by which the people of the United States are confronted, and the policy that should be followed by the iovernment in the matter of taxation. In the domain of facts the inquiries made related to the supply of money, the growth of savings, bank deposits, the abundance or insufficiency of labor, the tenacity with which libfty bonds are being held, the crop outlook and the prevalence of social and indus trial unrest. 9earrhlnic QueHo Aked. In the effort to sense and report the feeling of business men upon the many politico-economic proposals and prob lems that press upon their attention some rather searching questions were asked about the league of nations and the relative popularity of the presi dential plan and the senatorial policy. In a letter which accompanies their tabular summary of the replies re ceived Harris. Winthrop & Co. say: "It is evident that credit, the life blood of business, is in abundant sup ply throughout the country: that sav ings bank deposits are increasing de spite the hierh cost of living and the alleged insufficiency of wages; that business is prosperous almost every where: that merchants' stocks of goods are not abnormally large: that crops are. upon the whole, above the aver age: that they will be readily sold at present price's: that the liberty bonds bought bv the people are being gen erally held except where the smaller investors have found it necessary to sell them, and that in at least two cases out of three the returning sol diers are going cheerfully to work as employment is offered them. Bolshevism Is niarmsaed. "Out of a total of 1650 correspondents reporting on the subject there are. it Is true. 729 who discern some "indica tions of bolshevism or rarical social Ism present or prospective,' but this is not at all surprising when we consider bow widely bolshevism has been adver tised, and the willingness that our foreign-born citisens have always shown to toy with political novelties until they were Americanired in the proc esses of the "melting pot.' "When we come to consider the na tional feeling in the light of which the facts reported are to be interpreted, the readings of our chat are not per haps so clear, though they are not In any sense depressing. "By a very large majority the people seem to be in favor of a league of na tions, but -they are about evenly di vided as to whether it shall be the president's or the senate's league. "But few seem to feel that the crea tion of such a league would affect their business unfavorably, and there appears to be no general consciousness of any sinister foreign Influence that is opposed to American business abroad. Opinion appears to be evenly divided as to the permanence or impermanence of the present prosperity and the high prices and wages that are incidental to It. and out of 1687 who have answered the question there are 1624 who believe that it will be an average of at least two and one-half years before we will get any serious reaction. Income Tax la Favored. "Presumably a condition that remains-relatively static for two and one half years in this changing country is regarded as about as near permanent as we may ever get In our business experience at all events, it gives us time to make our calculations de liberately. "As to taxation the answers we have received are both informing and sur prising. Most of our correspondents belong to what is sometimes described as the "capitalistic class." It is there fore surprising that by a large major ity they favor the American policy of imposing what is an almost confisca tory tax on large incomes, in pref erence to the Knglish method. The "rote is, however, almost exactly re Versed upon the question of direct taxation, a majority of nearly two thirds being in favor of the latter."

Throuahout the greater part of the day dealers in corn devoted themelea to doling out open risks so aa to bo prepared for whatever the government crop report might contain. Private reports had given no basis tor any radical chance in the crop outlook during August, but such importance has. re cently been attached to government an nouncements affecting foodstuffs that trad ers were not disposed to take any chances. I'orrect anticipation that the government report as to oats would favor the bulls tended to strengthen oats. Absence of demand, either domestic or sport, led to sharp breaks In provisions.

SIXTY CENTS IS BID F OR NEW OU HOPS Demand From England Far in Excess of Supply. OFFERS ARE NOT ACCEPTED Rainy Weather Prevents General Opening of Picking: Season in Willamette Valley. The price of new Oregon hops has ad vanced to 60 cents with a fair prospect of going higher. No sales above 55 cents have been reported yet. but actual offers of 60 cents have been made to growers for the new crop. With only ,a small proportion of the 1919 production still in first hands and the demand from English sources keen, growers are not disposed to sell now. even at 60 cents. Picking of clusters began in a few yards last week, but the work was interrupted by rain. Had the weather been good, pick ing would have, started generally In the Willamette valley yesterday morning. So far aa reported, nearly all the yards, have a sufficient number of pickers. BRITISH CROPS DAMAGED BY RAIN Light Tirld in France Shown by Thresh ing Returns. The outlook for cereal crops in Europe Is cabled by Broomhall as follows: United Kingdom Continued rains over a wide area are causing sprouting and much apprehension is felt that the damage will be Increased, as only about one-third of the crops have been saved. Roumania We have received further re ports regarding the favorable crops in this country. Wheat turned out very well and the outlook for corn conditions can be con sidered excellent. The surplus of corn which could be used for exporting purposes will probably exceed 20.000.000 bushels. How ever, 'conservative' authorities are of the opinion that exports this year will be doubt ful, owing to Inadequate transportation fa cilities at the present time. France Threshing has been active in this country and the operation tends to confirm the light crops previously predicted, espe cially of wheat. It can be said, however. the yields of barley and oats are better than anticipated. The quality of. the new wheat la regarded as good. Spain Confirm good crops In this country, but there will be need for Importation of wheat. All transactions In wheat and flour are under control of the government. North Africa Yields of both wheat and barley are said to be short. The surplus will be light. (iRAI.V MARKET QUIET BUT FIRM Bids Are Advanced 25 Cents to $3 en Local Board.
