Ackins Printing Co. ¢4 Church Street, New Britain, e 'BUSINESS IMPROVING N UNITED STATES Torning Point for Better Spreadng Throughsai Counlry. (Special to the Herald.) New York, April 17, 1915-—0Old-time activity has returned to the stock ex- change and million-share days are no longer a novelty. the favorable changes in underlying factors in the stock market have been out in these advices. As the business world adjusted itself to new | conditions, as the final outcome of the collosal struggle in Europe became more apparent , as fear disappeared, | calm judgment realized that on this de of the Atlantic the worst of the storm was over, confidence began to | ert itself more and more freely un- t it developed into a surprising outburst of speculation. This char. acteristic rebound from the extreme depression to extraordinary buoyancy | may seem remarkable, but is only in accordance with precedent, since one | extreme invariably follows another in due course of time. Recent develop- | ments connected with the war really | started the present rise. The frightful waste of life and wealth which is still | going on must of course have a per- | manently injurious effect upon the so- cial and economic welfare of the ; world at large. | Nevertheless, there is a sense of re- lief that the end is now foreshadowed; | and the dawn of peace naturally im- parts new life, new hope and fresh confidence. ‘War Stocks Led Advance. So far as the stock market is con- cerned, it was the war group of stocks | whigh led the advance. A number of our great industrial establishments are employed on large and profitable foreign contracts. Concerns equipped with facilities for turning out ord- | nance anc nmunition have been par- | ticularly fortunate and these led the rise. Some automobile manufacturers | have also secured enormous contracts from Kurope, about 30,000 American and motor trucks having already been shipped abroad, with thousands more to follow. Clothing and food pro- 3 have also been enjoying v itable contracts. All such acti | ties are having their effect upon bus ne; and speculation. They may not be permanent factors, yet while they last they are ve: powerful and are the prime movers in the present up- ward movement. They have also brought into the speculative arena an | entirely new set of operators who have been largely responsible for the recent vities and manipulation. Unavoid- the tional advance in th- ar group shares affected the entire market It certainly awakened the investing public in general to a real- ization of the improvement which for cveral weeks past been develon- ing so silently to almost escape seneral observation. Confidence was leeping and a shock of some sort was necessary to shake off the lethargy produced by the onslaughts ‘of w Under the circumstances, therefor., it is pertinent to again call attention to the forces of silent recuperation which have been at work outside of the war group; thé latter being a class | which should be set apart by them- | selves and judged strictly by the prof- its secured or likely to be secured from the war. This group in reality is relatively small, and a due sense of proportion should assist in drawing attention to home conditions, which henceforth must be a more important influence for the reason that the war § DIVER SETS UP NEW | depths to locate the submarine F-4. | cffect upon business and credit opera- | From time to tinic | ~dvce from RECORD IN SEARCH FOR ILL-FATED F-4 Honolulu, April 17.—Frank Grilley was forced to go down 288 feet in the He was under water for nearly two hours.

By far the most important under- Iving improvement at home is the changed political attitude toward big business. Radicalism has received a severe check 'in the United States At one time it conspicuously dis- couraged enterprise and interfered with legitimate business, thus proving | one of the most prolific sources of | empty dinner pails. President Wilson wisely callel a halt on these ten- dencies, and the result is already bheneficial. Had it not been for the war, there is no doubt that this country woudl today have been en- joying a period of marked recupera- tion and prosperity. The next im- rortant source of improvement, also A comparatively silent one, is the werking of the new federal reserve system. This is having a helpful tions. Our banking system is mnow upon a sound basis and in a position to meet all emergencies. Funds are plentiful to good borrowers, and if in- terest rates are high, it is not due to Lome conditions, but to forces abroad | bevond our control. The United States e o T e eamrar et | B Quality and Service Our Motto. in the world. Foreign nations are coming to us for financial assistance; | and considering adverse conditions, | the amount of new capital issues in this country is surprisingiy large, and demonstrates our healthful recupera- tive abilities, For the satisfactory monetary conditions at home and the confidence thus inspired the new federal Teserve system 1s very largely responsible. Liberal Dividend Returns. Another reason for stock market re- covery is the liberal dividend returns chtainable upon established invest- ments at present low prices. There are any number of desirable bonds and high-grade stocks that now offer un- uvsually attractive returns. A further source of encouragement is the pro- | nounced change of public sentiment. Confidence has taken the place of fear. Furse strings are being loosened. Hoarding is stopped. Funds accumu- lated through fear, are now being re- leased. Gold imports have Deen re- sumed. The retail trade in thé great department stores in this city has ap- parently turned the corner. The steel industry is improving: so is the textile industry. The demand for automo- biles is surprisingly good. The bogie cf foreign liquidation is disappearing, and the conviction that we have fairly arrived at the turning point for the Letter, is spreading throughout the ertire cguntry. Wall street always discounts such movements in advance. It 'is engaged in that operation just | now; and, if we exclude the war stocks, which have risen for special reasons, we find that the balance of the market has not, thus far. made any extravagant advance. Both rail- 1ds and industrials (excluding the | war group) are still selling consider- | ably below the pre-war level. There is little doubt that the railroad situa- tion will soon show decided improve- ment. As soon as the volume , of traffic begins to increase, the effect of the better freight rates will be re- flccted in earnings: and very soon the crop situation will receive more atten- ticn. 1In this respect the outlook is satisfactory, for the reason that agri cultural products generaliy are bring ing profitable prices. The south suf. fered considerably from the recent de- pression in cotton, but conditions in {lLis respect are gradually rectifying themselves. Better prices are being realized for the staple, and the south will probably partly recoup itself through a wider diversification of pro- duct. The outlook for the market is for continued activity. Speculation | promises te turn to securities hitherto | neglected. The violent advances of the last few weeks may of course in- time to time considerable | profit taking, in which event sharp | fluctuations may be anticipated, all | of which will tend to create a healthy und more active trading market. At | this writing the market exhibitis sur- prising strength. HENRY CLEWS. | GIFTFOREVERY SUND2 At Our Soda Fountain 1-2LB.
