Miss Ethel Morrison, Uaugbti-r ul Frauli MorrlsoD, a prominent lumber- 

 man and veneer-mill owner at Warren, Pa., sailed a few days ago from

 H. Ernest Montgomery, executive ; Orson E. Yeager, railway terminals ;

A reduction of wages of woodsmen has occurred in northwestern Penn- 

 sylvania, as the lumber mills have little business a^d the chemical factories

The letting of a contract by the government for a neet of twenty sea- 

 going tugs to be available mostly for use on the barge canal shows that an 

 effort is to be made to connect this waterway across New York state with 

 deep water navigation, both on the lakes and the ocean. The immediate 

 future of the barge canal is not very well defined, because the government 

 has neither taken It up vigorously itself nor provided a way for private 

 capital to use it. Still this season ought to deraonStrate that it is needed, 

 and to show by actual accomplishments by the fleet of more than 100 boats 

 to be provided that there is a profitable business possible. The old opposi- 

 tion to the canal was that it was sufficient to float all business offered, 

 but the reply was that the canal was not large enough to carry business 

 at a profit. 



Burwell S. Cutler, who Is now chief of the export division of the Depart- 

 ment of Commerce, spoke at a dinner of the Purchasing Agents' Association 

 here on February 17, telling what the government is trying to do to 

 stabilize business conditions. The big export trade counted on is not going 

 to materialize immediately, he said, mainly because credits are restricted. 

 Business in domestic lines, he added, is waiting for bottom prices in raw 

 materials.
