On Capital Lawn for National Encampment, Washington, June 26.—In honor of the Grand Army , of the Republic, Middletown, June 26.—Elijah Kenti Hubbard, former president of the Rus- | sel Manufacturing company of this| city, died of heart disease, unexpect- ed)y today. He was in his eightieth | year, and lornig had been identified with Connecticut business interests. A' native of Chicago, being one of the first children born after the settle-| ment of that city, he came here in his youth. He was connected with, the Russell company for a time and! then returned to Chicago where he | engaged in the grain and lumber bus- iness until 1885. He then made his| home here. In 1891 Mr. Hubbard became pres- ident of the Russell company and re- tired five years ago. He had served | as a trustee of the Middletown n- sane Asylum, and vice-president of! the Middletown National bank. His | five children are E.

ONLY COUNTRY PROFITING BY WAR Capital Awaiting Investment Is Plentiful, Says Clews . (Special ¥o the Herald.) New York, June 26, 1915.—This country’ never witmessed busingss eon-| ducted under so many complex con-' ditions as at present. Not even dur- ing aur Civil War was the situation so confusing, for then the conflict was ay least within our. own borders.and the consegquences were much more easily measured than in the case of the highty -complicated Huropean struggle now- convulsing the entire civilized worid. 8o numerous -and | | so violent are thé forces at work that no reliable judgment can be formed { as to their ultimate effects; and the! wisest mén are those who try to walk | day by day rather than taking long | sirides into the future. Opinions 3s | to what will happen are of question- |- able value, where the forces at work | so unexpected, 'so” voi.| utterly ungovernable. war is moving slowly, towards-a finish that sl\ll seems quite remote. The fall of Lem- | berg may prove a serious reverse to | the allies; it mdy not. It certainiy | affords another illustration of Ger-| many’s' marvellous military efficiency but even such efficiency may finally have to give way to time, exhaustion and superior resources. The demoralization of our forelgn trade brought on by the war contin- uwes unabated. Imports have been} coming in somewhat more freely, re- sulting fortunately in. much needed | improvement in our customs revenue. | Our exparts also continue very hea\'y.‘: chiefly to shipments of food- | ffs, also of war material which | are going outwards on a steadily in- | creasing movement. It now appears | that war contracts are being accept- ed on a much vaster scale than ever | supposed. Instead of the earlier | statements of orders being exagger-} ated, it is now realized that the vol-| ume ' of these contracts has frequent- ly been under-estimated, because of | the secrecy concerning them. Some | careful estimates figure that muni- | tion contracts valued at over $500,-1 000,000 have already been. placed in | the United States. Immense orders have also been placed for other war supplies which it is calculated would bring the total up to about $750,-1 000,000, the bulk of which will be; spent Wwith the steel trade. But this | is only about half the credits which, have been ander negotiation including $500,000,000 for Great Britain, $500,- | 000,000 for Russia, $400,000,000 for| France and $100,000,000 for Italy. Ai number of our largest industrial plants | have taken contracts of between $60,000,000 and $100,000,000 each.! These figures are simply astonishing | They will be considered as the satisfactory side | of the account; if such a word as‘l satisfactory can be applied to organ- ized murder and destruction. The United States is the only country in world that is profiting by this| war, and such profits will be con- fined to the few and must inevitably be offset by the incaleulable losses inflicted upon the many. Figure as we may, the world will be much the poorer for this catastrophe for years to come. \ Vigorous Reconstfuction. When peace arrivés recanstruction will follow in vigorous fashion. Eau- canic and so This ghastly very slowly, ing, and so crippled in productive ca. pacity as to have little te sell in the form of merchanlise to this coun, try. The disruption of established business conditions, the raising of new tariff walls, the making of new tre ties, the overcoming of bitter pre udices and the necessity of making | endless new adjustments will all tend to keep our foreign trade in a state long after peace is estab- lished. Our imports will naturally | be more affected in volume than ex-‘ ports, because of Europe’s inability to | sell. Our exports of agricu]lural‘ products may not be seriously im- | paired; in fact we may have to feed | Europe while her whole energy is! given over to rebuilding; but there | will be much less reason for confi- dence in, our ability to win foreixn‘ markets for cur manufacturers a year or two hence than there is now. True, | | new opportunities will be offered, but when fighting is done with, /Germany | will make an intense effort to recover lost markets. Low prices, hard work and adaptability will slowly but | surely overcome present prejudices. Great Britain will be cbliged to make an equally strenuous effort if she ex-| pects to hold any newly gained mar- | kets. Of our ability to compete with who will un- | dcubtedly omerate on a cheaper and better establiBhed basis than ourselves there is as yet no positive assur ance. The whole future of the com- mercial world is highly unsettled, and all operations connected therewith will have to take into consideration the | numerous hazards, as well as the un- | questionable opportunities which will | arise from the settlement of old trou- bles and a fresh development of the world’s resources. Home Conditions Satisfactory. Home conditions are fairly satis- factory. . General trade is quiet, and | does not improve as rapidly as desired. The most encouraging symptom is the | increasing activity in the steel trade, resulting almost entirely, as said from war contracts. This in- fuses a somewhat feverish condition in that industry, and speculation in what is known as the “war group” of securities has carried miarket prices in many cases to: unheard of figures. Needless to say :speculation in these properties at present prices is exceed- ingly hazardous. The financial situa- tion of the United States is exception- ally strong and satisfactory.

Gold imports since January 1 $120,000,000, and further arrivals must be antitipated; unless Europe either establishes larger credits here or parts with additional amounts of American securities. It would appear to be impossible for | Burope to indefinitely postpone such liquidation. In one form or another Europe will be obliged to look to the United States for very important financial assistance which we can readily render. The United States will continue to make war munitions on a vast scale. Europe cannot pay for them in merchandise. It is not desirable that the great banks of Europe should weaken their resources by payment in gold, which we do not want. Big credits can unquestion- ably be placed here, but even that method only defers settlement. ul- timately Great Britain and other coun- tries in a lesser degree must liquidate a portion at least of their American investments. This market will not accept British, German, French or Russian loans to any large extent. We are quite able, however, and quite willing to take back out own securi- cies in considerable sums. Capital awaiting investment is plentiful in this country, our people are economiz- ing and we have reason for ample confidence in our own financial and industrial future. In these respeqts, we were never stronger. Thus far British holders have obstinately re- fused to let go of their American hold- ings. It remains to be seen how long they will be able to continue this policy. Stock Market. Unsettled. The stock market is in an unsettled condition and is pulled in different di- rections; first by cheap money, which makes many good shares seem very de- sirable and is stimulating; second by the extraordinary excess of exports, which encourages foreign selling of Americans and is weakening, and third by the delicacy of our relations with Germany, which may séend the market up or down, according to develop- ments.

These gains were partly offset by a further decline of three points in Rubber, making a loss of 14 points for the week, and by recurrent weakness in Missouri Pa- cific and Rock Island.
