ATTBmON NEEDED
Country Hard Hit and Recov

UTAH SITUATION SIMILAR
People Frankly Say Support Is Re
quired and Ask to Be Carried
In Financial Sense.

BOISE, Idaho. April 11. (Special.)
Here In the Intermountaln state at the en
trance to the northwestern territory, one
enters upon a section of country that was
R3 hard hit last year, if not harder than
any other part of the United States, and
which is recovering-, but slowly. The people
here frankly and quickly say that while
they are convalescing they are still weak
and In need of attention. What they mean
by this is that, in a financial sense, they
will have to be carried, and they ask that
the support that has been extended to
them be continued at least another year.
They feel pretty strongly at present that
they are not yet able to stand alone and
finance themselves.
Aside from borrowing from other sources,
the beet sugar .nd livestock interests
!n the state have h.d $10,661,000 from the
war finance corporation and when Eugene
Meyer, managing director of the orKani
zatfon was here the other day the stock
men. sugar raisers and bankers joined in
urging him to stay Vfith them until they
are out of the woods.
Utah in Bad May.
This is an acute angle to the general
situation; pressure wilt come from all over
this western country for the permanent
maintenance and continuance of some
agency th at-will give access to government
funds in time of need. It will want care
ful working out by congress, with the co
operation of those familiar with the whole
background of conditions west of the
Mississippi river.
Utah was one of the sorest and weakest
points economically and financially in the
whole intermountain situation last fall. It
was really In & bad way. Confidence was
at a low ebb. Now there are scores of
persons who say the a:d they received has
saved them ten years in coming back.
Utah ib not insolvent, it is making prog
ress, it is regaining confidence, it is or
ganizing to put itself back on a solid
foundation. The chief interests of the
state are copper, stock raising and sugar
beets. It has two specialties that do not
enter In a large way into the economic
status of the state, but are, nevertheless
interesting. One is raising alfalfa seed,
of which one county in the state is the
principal producer in the United States;
the other specialty is more amusing.
Every day throughout the season a ship
ment of Utah roses is sent to Pasadena,
Cal.. where, presumably, they are dis
tributed as native products. At any rate,
no man has yet seen Utah roses advertised
in the vicinity of Pasadena or Los Angeles.
It is & trade secret from which Salt Lake
derives considerable satisfaction.
Church Big Interest.
Another large interest in the state, eco
nomically, financially, socially and poli
tically is the Mormon church. The church
as a business organization is heavily inter
ested in the beet sugar industry, and one
gathers the impression that one of its
present efforts is to revivify and restore
what is, perhaps, a waning confidence in
beet sugar production. A great many of
the Mormom farmers raise beets and for
a time they had to sell them below the cost
of production. At the present level of
prices there appears to be profit in beet
production, though there are informed per
sons here who think it questionable
whether even now beets pay for them
selves. Even a casual visitor hears a
shrill cry for a good protective tariff on
beet sugar. The beet sugar industry will
want wise handling.
The overshadowing news in Salt Lake
today is that the Utah Copper company's
big mine is reopening. This is the great
est mine In the state, and one of the larg
est in the world. It has been closed a
year. At one time before it closed it was
employing some 6000 men and had a
monthly payroll of about $400,000 that
flowed Into Salt Lake City.
Beets Affect Many Persons.
While copper is the largest interest in
the state in point of financial magnitude,
it does not effect individually as many as
sugar beet growing, sugar making and
stock raising, including both sheep and
cattle. The sheep and cattle men. as else
where, are slowlly coming into their own
again. They have been greatly helped by
the Increase in prices. Bankers have
strengthened themselves and the banking
condition is In a much better condition
than it was six months ago. The crisis
in the state has passed and it has come
through in much better shape than It had
any reason to hope last autumn.
Conditions in Utah are affected by an
other consideration. This state, and par
ticularly Kait Lane City, finance. In part,
Nevada, western Wyoming and southern
Idaho and is consequently necessarily af
fected by the slow recovery In this tribu
tary territory. It is therefore necessary
to go into ia a no Derore one can see com
pletely the present Utah problem and out
look.
Leadership Not Lacking.
It is a happy thing for Utah in that it
does not lack for sound, clear-sighted.
prudent financial leadership. There are
bankers at Salt Lake City who impress
one most tavorabty. They are carrying a
heavy load of responsibility and have been
burdened with It for a year. They be
lieve tney win worn: out all their prob
lems satisfactorily if they are not forced,
and they Impress a visitor with their
ability to do what they have set out to do.
The first job in all of this great western
country is to take care of the producer.
and that aspect of the present situation ia
seen clearly by the local individuals and
interests, who have the task in hand.

BY MONITOR.

pany. Published by Arrangement.)
NEW YORK. April IX (Special.) Al
though there was a moderate diminution
In the volume of transactions, today's
market was . on a relatively broad scale,
with the- total turnover well in excess of
1.250,000 shares. With the exception of a
few intervals of comparative inactivity,
business was brisk with occasional spurts
of spirited buying.
It was probably no more than to be ex
pected that the demand for the steels
should fail off in consequence of current
misgiving over the prolongation of the
coal striae and its effect upon the indus
try. The reports of friction at Genoa do
not appear to have exerted much influ
ence on sentiment.
In fact, the strongest inducement for
bullish operations appears to be presented
by the action of the market itself. An up
ward tendency is still apparent and there
are few indications that it is becoming
jaded as a result of the recently acceler
ated pace.
The strongest features of today's mar
ket were j urnished by the oi Is, motors
and a wide list of specialties. Both Royal
Dutch and Pacific Oil went to new high
levels, the latter making a record for all
time. Mexican Petroleum crossed 134 on
heavy trad inc. The demand lor the oil
shares has been accentuated by fears that
the coal strike might become prolonged.
m
Studebaker and Chandler, as usual, led
the motors. Steels and rails fluctuated
within narrow limits and there appeared
to be a willingness on the part of holders
of steel shares to take profits on the
bulges.
W W V
There were some rather striking moves
in the specialties, with Loose-Wiles up
more than 5 points. Stromberg up o,
while good advances were scored by Amer
ican Bosch Magneto, computing, tabulat
ing and recording electric storage battery.
People's Gas and United Steel.
m w m
Studebaker and Chandler turned upward
again today and it is expected that bear
traders ar the worse for the movement.
Much of the buying just below 120 in
Studebaker is supposed to have been exe
cution of stop orders placed by shorts
who were playing for a reaction. Chan
dler Is holding ita place at a proper inter
val below Studebaker, but shorts in this
issue are growing more wary despite the
general impression that the present mar
ket for Studebaker is all that the stock
justifies.
.
Otis Steel, moving above 16, a new high
for the year, is acting as generally expect
ed in the market. The pool behind this
stock, basing calculations on the favor
able sentiment in the market for steels,
is further encouraged by the fact that
March tonnage handled by this company
was the heaviest for any month in more

"B-usiness has turned the corner. Times
are getting better. There should be a

possible quickening of activity this sum

must be reductions in four major lines:
Taxes, rents, freight rates and wages," ac
cording to an analysis completed yesterday
by Robert E. Smith, president of the Lum-
bermens Trust Company bank.
"Although various reasons have been
ascribed for our economic ills," said Presi

indicates that steady improvement may be
expected, particularly after this fall.

Out-state bankers were scarcer than the

Although Stromberg Carburetor earn
ings for 1921 were very much below those

Texas company Is somewhat of a dis
appointment to its followers, because of
its comparative inactivity. Inasmuch as
Texas company depends upon its large
foreign business for a good deal of its
earnings the only items of importance in
the immediate future of the company
which would Justify bullish operations are
the potential possibilities of the sulphur
contract entered into with the Freeport
Texas company . to operate the Hoskin
Mound sulphur deposits.
As the contingent royalty received by
Texas company will amount to 50 per cent
of the net profits until the operating com
pany has received its original investment
back and from there on 70 per cent, this
contract offers possibilities of the kind
needed 'in a bull market. On the other
hand, with a book value of slightly more
than $37 a share, and bearing in mind the
fact that the dividend disbursements for
1921 called for just about twice what the
company earned during the year, traders
are of the opinion that Texas is doing all
that could be asked of it in maintaining
its present position.

Shipping and allied shares are coming in
