June (Special New York, ditions 3—Business con- are exceptionally in many respects, and much more so than stock market movements in- dicate There is some disposition to hesitate, owing to high prices, war and political uncertainties, also to a closer scrutiny of credit, but this tendency has not thus far become suf- ficiently pronounced to induce more than a partial slowing down of activ- ity, which, taking all things into con- sideration, was somewhat desirable. The war created abnormal conditions in certain directions. and there was serious danger of reckless expansion and speculation unless some form of | restraint was imposed. This developed a more cautionary spirit among those who assume the initiative; bankers have become more discriminating and merchants are careful not to over- stock, while manufacturers are pro- tecting themselves against contingen- cies with more than ordinary conser- vatism. In consequence there is a widespread optimism throughout the satisfactory caution. This healthy balance be- tween these two forces is one of the best assurances of continued activity The prosperity of the United States has undoubtedly been greatly stimu- lated by the war, especially in the East; but this is only a transitory stimulus which will eventually bring its own reaction: while far ahead of it in permanent importance is the better sort of prosperity based upon several vears of hig crops, especially the harvest of 1915. The American farmer was never so well-to-do as to- day. and west of the Alleghanies this is still the vital factor in busines notwithstanding the rapid develop- ment of industry and trade in keep- ing with growth of population Proof of these statements is in current trade statistics. clearings last week at leading cities were 56 per cent ahead of last year; a very large gain, even allowing for the effect of high values. Railroad earnings for April thus far reported show an increase of over 22 per cent. New capital issues in May in the prin- cipal states are estimated at about 92,000,000, which was nearly double a year ago and the larg May on record except 1910. A feature worth noting is the flood of municipal bond issues, the total for the vear 1915 being about $500,000,000, or the larg- est total on record. Still another fea- ture is the numerous new petroleum issues, the total reported in May alone being $67,000,000. The record of new enterprises for May shows particular activity, the total charters of con- cerns above one million capital being $209,000,000 or 170 per cent. above the same month last vear. Dividend and interest payments in June are es- timated at $137,000,000 or $17,000,- 000 more than last year. This in- crease was largely due to the divi- dend of $6,300,000 on U. S. Steel, which paid nothing a year ago. Not a few industrials could have paid larger dividends, but prudence dictat- ed a conservation of financial re- sources, such as reduction of debt, improvement of plant and building up of reserves. During the past year 216 { companies reported profits of $780,- 1 000,000, or $350,000,000 more than a vear ago; the steel companies show- ing an increase of $87,000,000, the ammunitoin companies $66,000,000, the copper concerns $43,000,000 and petroleum companies $38,00,000. A year ago these companies earned about 17 per cent. on their capitaii- zation, while in the year just ended they earned over 13 per cent. Building operations would probably be upon a larger scale were it not for the high cost of materials and labor, which delayed many new enterprises. The railroads are also deferring their pur- chases for improvements and rolling stock as much as possible for similar reasons. The steel industry contin- ues in satisfactory condition and will be fully employed for months to come profitable prices. The one impor- 1ctor that is not encouraging is the crop outlook, the season being backward and without any bumper crops vet in sight. On the other hand prices are relatively high and with the surplus left over from last year, moderate crops will insure g0od prices for the farmer. The stock market is laboring under several adverse conditions, and un- able therefore to refiect the favorable business conditions referred to above. Chief of these obstacles are the presi- Gential compaign, the war, our rela- tions with Mexico, the influx of se- curities from abroad and a somewhat closer money market. The political campaign is really less exciting than vsual and seems to be one of men rather than of issues. The latter promise to be mainly patriotism and preparedness, with prospect of the {ariff coming into prominence later on. The war goes grimly on. There s a flood of peace talk, but no trust- worthy signs of action in that direc- tion thus far. The desire for peace grows in intensity but so does the Fitterness of the struggle, which is not likely to end until defeat, actual cr patential, ¢hrings submission Mediation just now would be useless and possibly harmful. The Mexican situation is again threatening and delicate in the extreme. This gov- crnment is certainly patient and long suffering under an intolerable situa- tion The pressure of foreign s: af American securities has certa been a depressing factor in this mar- ket, and but for this obstacle many of our high class issues, especially railroad shares and bonds, would be selling at higher figures. American investors have had exceptional op- partunities of buying American invest- ments upon favorable terms, and these seem likely to continue under the additional tax of 10 per cent. found Bank at tant country mixed with a strong vein of | | cently been resumed by arrivals LINEN DRESSES $6.45 to $12.50 Pink Rose Copen.

The conse- quent return of foreign securities will tend as intended to improve the for- elgn exchange situation and check the imports of gold which have re- of over $28,000,000 from Canada, where the Bank of England has a consider- able deposit. The local money market has lately been somewhat firmer, owing partly to the expansion of loans and a desire on the part of bankers to exercise more discrimina- tion. Bank reserves, according to the last statement, are down to $67,000,- 000, a decrease of $107,000,000 since the end of January, due chiefly ta a 1eduction of $522,000,000 in cash re- serves and in part to an expansion ot $118,000,000 in loans in the last four months, h holdings HENRY CLEWS.

Surprise is manifested by everyone over the size, beauty and careful ar- rangement of the specimens and works of art. Many people have made | return visits, bringing others with them. The department was so pleas- ing to one woman that she returned no less than four times with her son. To properly appreciate the display of the museum, it is necessary to visit it several times. Undoubtedly, as new things are added, many will make it a point to visit the museum once a week. The department will be open | until 8 o'clock tonight, and the gen- oral public is cordially invited to visit at any time.

Catarrh being greatly influenced by constitutional conditions requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System thereby de- stroying the foundation of the disease, giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting na- ture in doing its work. The proprie- tors have so much faith in the curative powers of Hall's Catarrh Cure that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any Blanche Solomon, daughter, and Mrs. Benjamin Solomon, to A’ ham Witkin, son of Mr. and Maurice Witkin.
