MOVEMENT OE CARS
The following Is un extract from the
Business   Review",   official    month'y
bulletin of the  Federal  Reserve  Hank
of Cleveland:
The summer season Is testing the
staplng qualities of our present prosperity ;it Is (hiding them not wanting.
The railroads are carrying revenue
freight at a rate of more than 1,009,000
»rs a week -a record breaking movement. The demand of the consumers
Is back of this. In l'.i.a shelves and
store rooms were piled with high-
priced Inventories; today goods are
being  used.
A slackening in various lines ot Industry und trade is apparent, but portions of this may rightfully he attributed to seasonal Influences. Seldom
If ever has July been a really active
business mouth. Business Is Inclined
to follow in the footsteps of this of us
who want to take u breathing spell at
this time of the year.
Recent tendencies which have appeared on the surface, however, havw
not eliminated the fact that the underlying factors for good business ure still
present.
Tbe unsettled farming situation is
bringing to light the definite need for
a program of more balanced farming
and orderly marketing.
Loans are considerably larger than
they were ut this time a year ago.
It Is the opinion of conservative authorities in this District that such a condition is to be expected at this season
of the year and especially so since
such a remarkable industrial growth
has been shown during the past twelve
months.
For several months the value of our
Imports has exceeded the value of our
exports. This situation naturally embraces obstructive features but there
are other angles. The reversal of our
trade balance is not due to shrinkage
In exports, but rather to Increases in
Imports. Records show that the imports of raw and semi-raw materials
for further manufacture In this country
are responsible for much of the increase. Apparently our manufacturers
have found It necessury to Import
large quantities of raw materials to
care for the recent increased volumne
of manufactured goods.
Such adverse trade balances us
those existing at the present time
have been experienced before in the
history of our country, und when the
proper time arrived they automatically corrected themselves. A similar
readjustment is not unexpected hy the
business wojjd.
A number of residents of Pearl
si reel were present at the regular
meeting of the village council Tuesday
evening In regard to B sidewalk and
sanitary   sewer  on   that   street,-
This matter was brought up before
the count il concerning the same subject some time ago but SO action was
taken, because of the tact that the residents  were  divided  on  the subject.
Tuesday evening found them the
sain.' way. still divided. The council
spent a great deal of time in discus
•dug the matter with those residents
pros, it and when It came to u decision. th>' council was also divided.
A- a matter of usual occurance the
patter was lefl OB tha table for further  discussion.
After the old business was taken
care of, the council Issued an order
to have all of the sewers In town
Mushed,  within  the near future.
tirade ordinances were passed for
sidewalks on the north side of Mill
avenue and the west side of North
Main street.
