LATE EVENTS MORE THAN FAVORABLE Stock Markerwflleased With Turn, Says Clews (Special to the Herald.) New York, July 8.-—The recent drift of events has been more favor- able from the stock view. market point of Mexican affairs assumed more peaceful aspect, and there good reason for anticipating a satis factory solution means of Hitches but one thing is certain, this country does not want war with Mexico; a is of this problem mediation instead of and setbacks by war. may develop, and, once the Mexicans appreciate that we have no lust for conquest of Mexican territory, the way to permanent peace between Mexico and ourselves should be firmly established. 1f our govern- ment can aid in restoring order on a basis satisfactory to the unhappy peo- ple of Mexico, so much the better. An- archy, misery, poverty and starvation rule our southern neighbor with a cruel hand at present; and, for such conditions, peace and friendship ought to cure much more effectively war and hatred. In Europe the great conflict has broken out with greater violence than ever. At last the allies have initiated their universal drive; the central pow- ers are being sorely pressed in every direction, and it may be the be- ginning of the end. It is now almost two vears since the war began. It seems impossible for the strugsle to last another year, and millions on both sides are hoping for peace within another six months. Certainly the war is two-thirds over, and let us hope threc-fourths. In bitterness and in- tensity it will grow toward the end, but the world at large is already pre- paring for resumption of peaceful ac- tivities. The doings of the economic conference at Paris in this connection were of much significance, and &n agreement between the allies to form a number of co-operative plans for restoration of their commerce and in- dustry after the war is not surprising. These agreements are of cou in- tended to hamper the central powers. It is satisfactory to note, however, that no general boycott is to be 1e- clared against Germany. That would be sheer folly, and if carried too far would surely lay the basis for an- other war as soon as Germany is suf- ficiently recovered. Moreover, if tier- many can produce any products cheaper and better than other nations refusal of the entente powers to bus them would inflict self-injury and build up the trade of the other nations at the expense of the allies. Further more, all of the allies will be only too glad to sell to Germany: impos bility unless they also stand re: buy. Commerce has an irre habit of leaping over political barriers whenever transactions yvield a mutual profit; and a powerful peacemaker, causing war only when throttled or fettered to death. Home Conditions Encouraging. Home conditions are generally en- couraging. Our agricultural output does not promise to be quite os boun- tiful as last year; but good prices are practically certain, and there is no abatement of prosperity in sizht for the American farmer, who has now enjoved an unusually long period of good fortune. The cry of “back to the farm,” was never more justified now; and the small margin betwoeen production and consumption in all the international markets, together \ith the high prices for all farm products, affords a stimulating prospect for the agriculturist. Regardless of the war, the world’s production, especially of animal products, is often below cor sumption. Our industrial activ s still running at top speed. Ths steel trade is positively suffering from over- consumption. Production is operated at the limit, yet there is no cessacion in the pressure of orders; no signs of weakness in prices, and steel mills would welcome a respite from the ur- gent demands of consumers. Some munition factories are shutting down; others, of course, are busy; the rate at which ammunition is now being consumed at the front stimulatin pectations of fresh orders. The t>xtiie trade in New England, is fairly active and in good condition; the het- ter prices recently obtalned for most fabrics resulting In increased divi dends on some mill shares and re- sumptlon on others. The hoot and shoe industry also continues active. Automobile makers have had a won- derful season; home trade havin ceeded all expectations, while the ex- port trade on war account has been simply phenomenal Financial conditions in the United States are particularly satisfactory. Our banks are prosperous and stronsg, while our enormous gold supply and the new federal reserve banks have imparted an expansiveness to our currency that has much to do with present activi National bank loans are about $1,000.000,000 in excess of a year ago, while bank clearings in June were forty-six per cent. ahead of last vear and forty-eight per cent. more than in 1914. There is doubt- less much inflation in present values; | and the growth of trade in this coun- try, domestic and foreign, when | measured in quantitics as it should | be, is much smaller than when meas- | urea in values. Political conditions at home are exceptionally quiet and the | presidential campalgn for the time | being 1s almost entirely forgotten. The most interesting feature has been the introduction of a new revenue | bill to meet tha costs of preparedness. This bill s expected to produce about $260,000,000, a large proportion of which is to be ralsed by doubling | the income tax. This bill has as yet received no serious discusslon, and the | efforts at Washington to rallroad it | through congress without proper de- | bate should be strenuously protested. than an is in GRD ONEPRICE (]9 1i4-116 ASYLUM ST.

There is no emergency such haste. warranting Stock Market Active, The stock market has shown fair activity and responded readily to the hetter conditions referred to above. There is good investment demand for the same reasons; stimulated also by the unusual July disbursement, which amounted to about $300,000,000, or $13,000,000 more than a year ago. The new security issue for the prin- cipal states during June were esti- mated at $150,000,000, or $83,000,- 000 in excess of a year ago. The total new issues for six months of the cal- endar year are placed at nearly $1,- 900,000,000, or almosdt $600,0005000 more than last year. Of the total is sues for the last six months, only about $430,000,000 were for railroads, $258,000,000 for public utilities and the remainder for industrial and mis- cellaneous purposes. There has been great expension in new steel enter- prises; also in the development of pe- troleum and natural gas. A further indication of industrial development was the volume of charters granted in the principal states during June, those with a capital of §100,000 or over gregating $327,000,000, or $97,000,000 more than a year ago. Over $30,000,000 of this amount rep- resented new petroleum concerns. The ue of new railroad securities has undoubtedly been retrained by the buying back among investors of a large amount of securities returned from abroad on account of the Brit- ish war finance. Rumors of fur- ther foreign loans in this market con- tinue, but have not yet materialized. Negotiations for a $100,000,000 French loan are reported, also con- siderable applications from Russia and China. Nothing further has been heard of new British financing here. Should these loans appear, they will, of course, have an important bearing on the investment situation. Speculation T been more active during the past two weeks and prices showed a rising tendency. Prospects favor a more confident market, un- less unfavorable developments start fresh liquidation, Peace prospects, of course, will affect munitions shares unfavorabl nd a gradual return to a peace basis may be reasonably an- ticipatea sooner or later.
