Whist was played,/ HONETARY SITUATION DECIDEDLY BETTER Evidences o( FTToumss are Multi- plying Daiy, Says Henry Clews. (special to the Herald.) York, Nov. 21.—Evidences of are multiplying daily. The , federal bank h: made a good start; the New York Stock Exchange will soon open for bond dealings; the Cot- ton Exchange has already reopened successfully; Exchanges in various parts of the country are also resum- ing; our foreign trade shows re- | markable recuperation; sterling ex- change is almost back to normal; the gold pool is being closed out; the cotton pool is now hardly necessary; money is fairly abundant and easy, and commercial paper is in decidedly better demand. Kvidently the credit and financial machinery of the Unit- ed States, which was so thoroughly dislocated by the war, is rapidly and surely returning to normal condi- tions. Our banks and bankers have at least put into practice the theories which they professed—that the way to resume is to resume. In nearly all quarters where initia- tive must begin, there is a distinctly more hopeful spirit. This has been encouraged, not only by the develop- ments referred to above, but also by the repeated declaration of President ‘Wilson that business needs a rest from disturbing legislation. From the president’s recent utterances it is safe to hope that there will be a ces- sation of legislative attacks upon bus- iness. There is also one other respect in which Mr. Wilson's recent remarks are significant and that is his insis- tence upon fair play to the rail- roads. The president vidently real- izes the very critical position of the railroads arising from unavoidable increases in expenditures, decreases in revenue, plus persistent repressive and prejudiced regulation. Thus far government regulation as practiced by the present Interstate Commerce Commission has proved to say the least disappointing. It is grieveusly crippling the railroads and conse- quently depriving the public of fa- cilities which they sorely need. Un- der private management there was no lack of facilities. That is mnow impossible under the present starva- tion policy of the Interstate Com- merce Commission, which is anything but a judicial body and seems bent on discouraging private enterprise in the railroad world. Someone has said that we are burning the railroad can- dle at both ends. It might be added that we are burning it in the middle also. ) New | progress Steel Industry Dull. In other directions the symptoms of reviving confidence are also fortu- nately multiplying. The great steel industry is still exceedingly dull, run- ning considerably less than 50 per cent, of capacity, but there is a be- ter inquiry for pig iron and indica- tions of a renewed interest among buyers owing to - further cuts in prices. Our great textile trades are in better condition than a month ago, the cotton industry benefiting from improved financial conditions and the gradual clearing of the cotton situa- tion. In the woolen industry there is | considerable aétivity in certain direc- tions owing to the placing of large | orders for cloth and underwear for foreign armies. At the west business is in fair condition in spite of recent setbacks, and this is particularly true in the grain belt where big crops and good prices are exerting their full stimulus. The south is naturally much depressed by cheap cotton, but as the financing of the large surplus crop becomes less difficult and de- mand improves, depression will be- come less acute and the necissity for creating a. big cotton pool will be less acute and the necessity for the south is only temporary, the re- south is only temporary, the sources of that section being in sense crippled, and before long rangements will undoubtedly be ef- fected to carry the surplus over till next year. Meanwhile, the south will be stimulated into a still further di- versification of its crops whenever feasible. Current railroad returns | are anything but satisfactory, al- though by severe economies the roads are able to a considerable extent to offset the shrinkage in revenue. Later on the results, gross and net, should prove more satisfactory: Clearing | house returns are showing smaller decreases than in previous weeks. With the resumption of various ex- changes the comparisons are bound to be more favorable as time pro- gresses. Our momentary situation is decidedly better. The new reserve bank was launched without any diffi- culty, and a sense of relief already exists owing to the increased credit facilities which will result under the new system. The surplus reserve un- der the new system will probably touch $100,000,000 this week. Both clearing house certificates and emer- gency currency are being rapidly re- tired. Commercial paper is in good request. but the demand is not large owing to the general slackness of trade. Trade Returns Encouraging, Our foreign trade returns for Oc- tober were remarkably encouraging. The total exports for the month were $1965,000,000, or $39,000,000 in excess of September; but $76,000,000 less than a year ago. Our imports for | the month were $138,000,000, or $2,000,000 less than in September, but $6,000,000 in excess of a year | ago. Hence the excess of exports over imports in October was $57,000,- 000, compared with $16,000,000 in | September; but in 1912 the excess { was nearly $139,000,000. Consider- ing the shock of war and the sus- pension of trade with Germany, Aus- tria and Russia, which demoralized forelgn commerce in Adgust, this re- covery is highly significant and en- couraging. The outlook for gilt-edged and the | ar- 'W BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, Get Ridof ThosePimple and Ointment Wwill heir you when all else fails.

There is sure to be a large de- ‘mand for this class of investments, especially bonds, short term notes, guaranteed stocks, etc. Investors will be obliged to discriminate owing to the many uncertain conditions, and will naturally take the best, especially when these are offered at attractive prices. For months to come there will be huge flotations of government securities abroad which will absorb foreign funds. At home new issues have been comparatively light for several months past. There are no saf- er investments to day than Americans, and while purehases must be . made with careful judgment, there are many issues available at prices which will return good interest at once and good profits later. Predicts Long War, As for the war, that seems destined to continue its appalling sweep for months to come. No signs of exhaus- tion are yet visible on either side. Misery and suffering are sure to in- crease with the progress of winter, | and so far there seems to be no force in sight able to cope with the mad carnival of blood which is now drenching the battlefields of Europe. American sympathy goes out freely to the suffering in the form of practical aid, which must be continued with Proved for Merit 80Years Continuous Sale Schenck’s Mandrake Pills SUGAR COATED - FORBR Constipation,Billiousness &e., &e.
