NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. SATURDAY, MAY 27, ? Do You Kno exactly what the General Conference of the Methodist Church, meeting at Sara- toga Springs, N, Y., with over 800 dele- gates representing nearly 7 million church members, has had to say on some great questions, such as TEMPERANCE, LABOR, WAR, CHURCH UNITY ? Do you know exactly its attitude on amusements? Do you know how effi- ciently it revised its ritual ? Hear these matters discussed on ay 28 YOUR GARDEN Is Waiting to Be Plowed at “BELVIDERE HEIGHTS” Free Drawing of Beautiful Presents Sundcay Afiernoon and Decoration Day Durmg the past week our business came very close to $10,000. This is the best criterion to show how the people are appreciating New Brit- ain’s most charming suburb—beth for an investment and for cozy homes of mod- erate refinement. Dv YOU REALIZE—that this beautiful property is seon to be connected with Hartford by both Trolley and concrete pavement and that then there will be one of the most beautiful Automobile roads in the state between New Britain and Hartford. CAN YOU HELP BUT REALIZE that when tHeqe improvements are com- pleted the values of home sites must double and triple in value—and that every house built leaves just one lot less that can be bought at any price. YOU CAN BUY these home sites now on easy terms—with no taxes or in- terest for two years—and which really means that you are buying two years from today at the price that it is worth tsday, what will it be worth then? You have only about two (2) weeks more to purchase at “BELVIDERE,” on easy terms as the supply will be exhausted then.

New York, May 27.—In various di- rections there are symptoms of slow- ing down in business. The most sig- nificant incentive to caution has been the late rise in commoditis and wages, which has so increased the cost of doing business as to impose a ‘wide- spread check upon mnew enterprise. In brief the rise seems to have been overdone for the time being at least, and reactionary tendencies are already at work. This is noticeable even in the iron trade, which, though hold- ing orders extending into 1917, finds new demands less urgent and price in some instances decidedy softer when with conditions a month 0. New munitions orders are of course coming less freeiy, and high costs are impeding new constric- tion work while the railroads are confining their outlays to necessary replenishment. In no direction in there any marked development of new railroad con- ruction; a fact which is somewhat remarkable in view of the much im- proved state of affairs in the railroad world. In the drug and chemical there is also a decided reac- This large, but often forgot- industry profited much by the war; the demand for explosives and medical supplics causing prices for many articles to soar several hundred per cent. Now that the reaction is on, precipitous declines have oscurred, causing more or less unsettlement in In the dry goods grocery trades there also a ‘kening of demand, though no gen- eral weakness of prices and eral unsettlement. In these lines of trade there is a irit of confidence and values are well maintained. Outside of war influences the crop sitnation is the most unsatisfactory feature. No serious damage is re- ported in any section, but the spring s been cold and wet, consequently most of the cereal crops are back- rd and less promising than a year ago. On the other hand all fruit crops are far above the average condition; peaches, which promise a poor yield, being only exception. Cotton is about two weeks hackward, but condition is good and acreage, ac- cording to the National Ginners’ As- cociation estimate, is nearly 13 per cent. larger than a year ago. A few warm dayvs will compensate for all present drawbac Bank clearings, though still running over 40 per cent. ahead of last year, are not showing compared tion. ten, and | such big gains as in the first three or four months of the current year. Railroad earnings show excellent re- \lts; gross results reported in April us far being more than 20 »er cent. ahead of last year. April net returns are also very satisfactory if the lat- est reports of Union Pacific and Atchi- son are any criterion. Traffic on some | of the Western lines has been remark- ably heavy, which doubtless will be a factor favorable to an easier adjust- ment of the railroad labor problem. The net. earnings of American rail- roads for the nine months ended | h 31 were $899,000,000, compared 650,000,000 the same time last an increase of nearly $250,000,- 000. Prosperity such as this, if s tained, should mean not only better wages to railroad labor but better re- turns to stockholders. The notice- able public hostility to railroads is also disappearing, and these favorable developments would undoubtedly have been reflected in a more general ad- vance in the stock market had it not heen for the pressure of foreign hold- ings of American stocks, The proposal of the British government for an ad- 1ix of 10 per cent. upon rcks will stimulate for- e)gn <m!e= and tend to weaken | this market.

FPeace rumors persist, the Allies however still maintain un- willingness to consider any proposals at this time. Peace is of course draw- ing nearer, but is not yet in sight. Meanwhile, many of the industries af- fected on this side are beginning to adjust themselves to prospective changes and the muniton or war shares in some instances are already discounting peace. American rail- roads have benefitted little by the war and can consequently lose little by peace. The pressure of foreign holdings would probably cease how- ever before peace arrived, and in this respect American railroad shares would be strengthened by peace de- velopments. An enormous quantity of foreign holdings has been absorbed by American investors, some estimates being over a billion; and the British Government through its agents has very skillfully avoided demoralizing the American market Of late gold has been coming freely from the Bank of England deposits in Canada, in part settlement of our foreign trade balance, and more is expected to ar- rive. Great Britain continues to fin- ance the war with relative ease con- sidering the stupendous character of the undertaking, and it is noticeable that the government proposes to is- sue three- and five-vear Exchequer bonds instead of a new war loan. For the next few weeks the presi- dential election promises to assume its proper place in public attention, pro- vided nothing serious enough to over- shadow it ocours in the European war zone. Both conventions occur in June, and the country will soon e re- lieved of all doubts as to both men and issues of the coming campaign. Fortunately there are no domestic is- sues of an unusually exciting nature, unless it be that of preparedness, concerning which the country seems to be settling down to sane and sober views. At the moment there is nothing on which to base any vigorous, large buy- ing movements. Our present pros- perity has been considerably discount- ed, the advance in the stock market last week was conspicuously met by profit taking. In trade reactionary movements are gaining in force, and these must to some extent affect the security markets. The war, the presi- dential campaign, trade and crop con- ditions combined have created a series of cross currents on which it im- possible to expect any continued up- ward movement. They may induce activity and frequent fluctuations, but no general maintained advance until the war and home political conditions become more satisfactory. The mar- ket really has been strong only In spots. H HENRY CLEWS.
