GREAT BUSINESS “BOOM IN COUNTRY Ehlprovement Throughout U. §. {* Surpassing All Expectations (Spectal to the Herald.d New York, Nov. 6.—There ‘doubt about business improvement in the United States. It is surpassing all expectations. Evidences of this are Mmultiplying in every direction. The ’lteel industry is unprecedentedly ac- itive; our exports are on a phenominal Bcale; a serious ship famine exists; our farmers are reaping a record-breaking Marvest; our railroads are handling an Bnosmous and rapidly increasing traf- fic; our textile industry is enjoying re- newed activity; dry goods merchants are endeavoring to avert an undesira- blé boom; building operations are be- ing resumed on a larger scale; labor is yWell employed, and on every hand ere are signs of a rushing activity which experienced leaders are already ndeavoring to chéck in order to avoid e consequences of unrestrained or [misdirected energy. Two questions arise which demand atisfactory answers. What are the réasons for this new boom, and how jlong will it last? The reasons for this idespread revival are clear and easily inderstood. First and foremost, a big rVest with profitable prices for the rmer has been secured. Every intel. ent business man appreciates the ef- t of good crops upon business. The mer invariably spends more freely the local merchant must fill pty shelves thus infusing new life fisto trade, industry and transportation eyery direction, and particularly in fie grain belt, where nature has been 0st prolific. Next to this paramount fatluence, comes inflationary mone- ry conditions. There is an extra- Prdinary plethora of loanable funds il the United States, the consequence pt a long period of business depres- jion, of a marvellous stock of gold, of ;v successful mobilization of our pr inking resources under the new nking system and of an immense umulation of investment funds fol- pwing prolonged suspension of new nterprise. There is also one other in- fifencial factor in creating the pres- jif boom, and that is war orders. But jn later are much less important ¥ & is no Bin the two influences just named il far less permanent. It is doubt- if all the war orders received dur- %he fifteen months of Wwar would h $2,000,000,000, which is only jpout one-fifth of our annual exports, hich were over $2,400,000,000 during e fiscal year preceeding A the war. vertheless, these war orders were powerful stimulus in business revi- 3 Domestic Influences. So, far as .domestic influences are oncerned, present conditions warrant continuance of business activity, at t until the results of the next harv- can be determined. Money prom- bes to continue easy for some time b come, and this combined with agri- jultural prosperity is sure to stimu- hte new home enterprise in every di- action. Construction work, both in e cities and on our railroads, has een deferred as much as possible for he past two or three years. Shelves re empty and repairs are necessary. nlargements will be undertaken, and lew development must occur in many dustrial lines. The demand for steel simply without precedent, chiefly wing to home requirements. ' Pig on is being produced at the rate of ver~3,000,000 tons per month, or bout 37,500,000 tons per year; for rpassing all records. Steel plants hich have been idle for years are pstarting. Railroads are the heaviest luyers, having placed orders for 97,- 00 cars during the first ten months the year, against 3,900 cars last ear; also 490,000 tons of rails with- the same period, compared with 000 tons a year ago. Structural ders aggregated 1,075,000 tons, com- d with 933,000 tons at the same me last year. Domestic shipbuild- he is exceedingly active, owing to traordinary profits in ocean traf- ! ?

Bank clear- ings also afford eloguent proof of business activity, the total at all principal cities last week being $4,- 551,000,000, which is 85 per cent. ahead of the same week last year, No further proof of the sudden outburst of business activity need be fur- nished. It has induced an a\tive de- mand for labor, and wage advances have been frequent wherever profit- able war contracts enabled a shar- ing of profits with labor. These var- ious comparisons are made with an abnormal year; but compared evea with the year before the war current activities are unsual and often record- breaking. Market Outlook Promising, As for the future of the market, the outlook is exceedingly promising, aside from the war group which have largely if not fully discounted their exaggerated and sometimes precarious profits. American railroads and American industrials are now enjoy- ing a well-earned turn of prosperity after a prolonged period of painful adversity. Some day we shall have to remodilize our business affairs on a peace basis, when exports and im- SUFFRAGISTS NOW TURN TO CONGRESS ports will return to more normal pro- portion; but that period is not yet within measurable distance. Financial conditicss are gen#:aliy satisfactory, Credit is sound; loaned funds are abundant; rates are easy; gold imports since January 1 amount to over $325,000,000; our banking' re- sources are $424,000,000 higher thai any previous record;investment de- mand is good, and in spite of enor- mous credits and note issues to Allies. there are still available vast sums for investment purposes. Bond sales in October were nearly $100,000,06-. Speculation ha definitely turned to the railroads and better class of in- dustrials, which are making larger profits and whose dividend capacities are oonsequently being materially strengthened- Additions to the divi- dend payers list are being made al- most daily. Thus far the advance in the railroads has been amply Jjusti- fid and apparently has not yet reach- ed its climax.

Mrs. Winston Churchill, wife of the well known novelist, has accepted the chairmanship of the com- mittee of Washington women has charge of the arrangements now under way for the Forty-seventh which an- nual convention of the National Amer- ican Woman Suffrage association. This convention will be held in Washington from Doccember 147 to 19. Mrs. Churchiil has a charming personality, and through her wide social acquaint- ance in Washington is sald to have made suffrage vastly more popular among the exclusive circles. It was at Harlakenden, the beautiful country home of the Churchills at Cornish, N. H, that President Wilson estab- lished the summer White House for the last two years.

We are now drawing near the close of the second year of the operation of the workmen's compensation act in the state of Connecticut. The more that this method of dealing with the risks of employment is tested, the more thoroughly it is demonstrated | that the principle is sound and a great boon to the public. It may be that succeeding legisla- tures can and probably will improve the law, as the light of experience dic- tates. But the principle behind the law cannot be improved, because it is right today, and will be right to- . The time will come, how- ever, when the state will find it wi to maintain and administer its own in- surance fund for the payment of wages and damages to persons com- ing under the scope of the act, so that the cost of insurance may be reduced to a minimum and the amount of the payments increased as much as rea- sonable. Since the compensation act went into effect, however, we have had an end of most of those distressing cases in which employer and employe went into court and fought each other to a standstill over a matter that could have admitted of instant settle- ment. Under that old system, the em- ployer paid much more for the acci- dent and the worked received much less, while lawyers and other officials walked off with the difference. To- day, what the employer pays goes to the worker, and each is better off financially, as well as being spared the trouble, expense, and anxiety of litigation. The law as it stands today in Con- necticut is by no means a perfect one—that would be too much to ex- pect—but it is a good beginning and is being very capably administered, to judge from the large number of cases settled and the small number of ap- peals taken from the decisions of the commissioners. Everybody Threw a Brick. (New Haven Register.) There was nothing in the result of the voting in New York on Tuesday by which to guage the balance between the two leading parties. As to that, it makes little difference. Neither of the two principal questions submitted was a party matter. But whereas the majority against suffrage for women was about 184,000, the majority ngainst the new constitution was about 410,000. Because of the conspicuous opposi- tion of Tammany to the constitution, this is accepted by some as a demo- cratic victory. Though it is probable that more democrats than republicans voted, the defeat of the constitution is due to much more than democratic opposition. The democrats were against it because it seemed a repub- The conservatives op- posed it because it seemed to them an entrenchment of conservatism and privilege. Many voters opposed it on general principles because they thought there was no need to make a constitutional change at this time. Everybody threw a brick, and the re- sult was inevitable. CASTORIA For Infants and. Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the W 774 Signature of New York, Nov. 6.—Stocks were under persistent pressure today, the trading element evidently being com- mitted to the short side of the ac- count, with a marked side interest. Vague rumors deal- ing with the foreign situation gave additional impetus to the decline, which was accomplished on light dealing and without actual settlement. Special issues were again the features of greatest weakness, but investment showed some strength, but these, too, lost ground later. Final prices were slightly above lowest levels.
