New York, April 15.—The treat- Germany with uncertainty effectually controlled stock exchange transactions. All interests are tense- ly hoping for a satisfactory solution of present differences. The country is passing through omne of the most critical periods of its history, and the administration, whatever its shortcomings may have Dbeen, is en- titled to loyal and patriotic support in its foreign policies. It is reasonable, unpatriotic and extremely dangerous to embarrass the president by harsh criticisms and antagonisms for political purposes, which not at this time become a factor of our foreign policy. Reports from all parts of the country indicate sustained busines activity. The steel industry continues to lead, the home demand being the chief source of ac N ¥ have been very large purchaser both equipment and, rails, orde the latter having engaged the capacity of some mills until middle of 1917 and later. The vival of building in nearly all the leading cities has also served to strengthen the demand for construc- tive materials; new construction l:eing reported 15 per cent. ahead of iast year. Prices of steel are now <o high that the upward movement appears to have been pushed to the Jimit, and in many instances further new business has been deferred be- cause costs become prohibitive. It possible that the steel v facing a temporary and balt; yet excellent profits are sured for some time to come by the heavy contracts now held at high prices. As for the more distant future, the outlook is also promising. Peace would bring a cessation of foreign war orders, but the impor- tance of these has been exaggerated and are not a large factor when com- pared with domestic orders. More- over, when peace does come Wwar orders will be supplanted by orders for reconstruction work in the devas tated distric The mills of France and Belgium will need machinery promptly to take the place of that and Mexico, coupled as to their outcome, of full the re- equipment for railroads, bridges etc., in considerable volume will also be promptly needed: more promptly than can be satisfled by their own im- paired facilities. Furthermore, our export trade is making growing de- mands upon domestic mills, while the preparedness movement in this country will undoubtedly stimulate activity in our shipbuilding, ordnance znd munition establishments. Inflation in Values, One of the most serious effects of the war is its inflatory effect upon values, especially of commodities. 130.4, before the was 2.8, in vegetable e lished on nds at compared war. The showing a foods, but meats. minerals These changes correspond with our own fluctuation: more acute owing to the proximity of London to the war. The effect of these high prices is now Leing felt in rising costs for all lines of business, so that what with exces- sive prices for raw materials, ad- vancing wages, higher taxes, etc., it is plain that the extraordinary profits which some industrials have wmade a only temporary and cannot be in- definitely maintaine Ordinar the activity which this country is now experiencing might be expected to continue until credit became over- expanded or buying power exhausted neither of which contingencies is in sight. The masses in the United States are still prosperous. labor being well employed at good wages in the East, while in the West the farmer continues to enjoy the pro- ceeds of good prices for h pro- ducts. As for the credit that seems exceptionally sound. The national banks at the last call showed resources of $13,838,000,000, or 20 per cent ahead of last ve: deposits of $10,790,000,000, an increase of April 1, s with 87.9 Jus rise in March small decline a considerable r in and the smallest in textiles. somewhat though nearer crease of $990,000,000.

Nevertheless, the volume of business is still very large, making full allowance for inflated commodity and security values well as foreign and domestic loans. During the first three months of the current year, total clearings in United States were close upon $ 000,000,000, and actually about per cent. ahead of last year. road earnings continue to make ex- cellent exhibits, 32 roads in the third week of March reporting an increase of 23 per cent. gro: the gain bei more due to the growth of trafiic than to increase of rates \ttention is now being given to the crop out- | 100k, which thus far is unsatisfactory | be e of a late season and the in- jury to winter wheat, It does not follow, however, that a late season is Rail- ening condition of our relations with un- | should | ilroads | s for | destroyed or removed by war; while | Sauerbeck’s London price index pub- The largest advances were in | situation, | per cent. in a year, and loans an in- | the | as | TFORD ONE PRICE ([0 114116 ASYLUM ST.

The time, however, is approaching for the national conventions and political agita- tion of more or Iles: intensity must be anticipated The present congress, however, shows little dis position to enact any further legis tion than what is most emphatically cemanded by public opinion. . The labor situation is still a soure of considerable concern; especially the unreasonable demands of the rail- road trainmen; who are only one- fifth of the railroad employes; whose wages have increased nearly 40 per cent, in the last ten years, and whose demands will place an added burden of about $100,000,000 yearly upon the transportation lines. The coal strike s been averted, and it is hoped that some means of adjustment will be feund for the railroad dispute, The Future, future, we can only ad- vise continued caution in making all new commitments; notwithstanding the many encouraging factors in our home situation.
