That is something that no other nation can boast of in any- thing like the same degree and should be enough to make the American people happy and contended, es- pecially when they compare their lot with that of the sufferers throughout Europe. Many people think that our present election terminated in a mud- dle owing to the votes of the electors being so close. I think, however, that is a cause for rejoicing rather than otherwise, as it will serve to compel both of our great parties to put up, as they have done in this election, high grade men for their candidates hereafter and not merely demagogue politicians. It marks a new era for our country, which will tend to perpetuate our republican form of government, which I firmly believed is the best ever devised by the brain of man, especlally for our | cosmopolitan population—a govern- ment of the people, by the people and for the people. The result of the election goes to show that there are but few vital issues at stake between the two great parties; besides, we are almost sure to have in the fleld here- after candidates both learned, capable and highly representative men, simi- lar to those who have competed in the | present Hughes-Wilson contest. | Hence, t is to be hoped that it will | lead to the conclusion that both s | will recognize the absolute necessity | of putting forward their best citi- | then no serious harm is likely | to happen to our people or country f whoever may be the prize winner. If | that- fact becomes recognized, as it should be, by our voting population, then the best all-around men will be selected for nomination on both sides and ail will be well now and forever- more. Many stocks records, chiefl again touched high the industrial as a re- sult of big earnings or upon the early assumptions of republican success. The reaction started by election di: appointment quickly exhausted it- self and prices again began a new up- ward movement. The impression gains strength that the high point of the market as a whole has not yet | been reached; in other words war in- flation is energetically at work and no permanent setback can be ex- rected until this influence has spent admittedly | not yet in sight. Prices of commodi- ties seem buttressed upon one or two incontrovertible facts; an abnormal | demand, coupled with general scar city. Wheat, cotton, corn, meat: leather, woll, rubber, steel, copper, in ally all important com- modities have risen sharply since the war. Naturally the cost of living has not all, wages have risen, thus adding to the cost of production. There is apparently but one check to this up- is exhaus- tion of buying power: there being no immediate prospect of the war end- ing and no uneasiness regarding the Already econom: and substitution are being practiced | at home and in the shop; but this, while symptomatic, is not thus far important as to its results. Amer- ican industry continues running at top speed as a direct and indirect re- sult of war influences. The demand for munitions is expected to continue, at least until spring, if not longer; our mills are endeavoring to fill the voids in foreign markets; our ship- ards are turning out vessels at speed and profits never before experi- enced; while the country itself is now stimulus of the profits of the last two years, es- 1916, There is one vital thing that Is not scarce, and that Is money, the cir- culation per capita being the largest in our history. Credit is abundant, so plentiful in fact that bankers are already taking steps to avert the dan- gers of inflation, including the dis- couragement of gold imports. FEasier conditions are also reported abroad. Money is plentiful in London. The | great banks of Engiand and France are increasing their gold holdings and land rate will before long be reduced from 6 per cent. It is quite evident that belligerents will be compelled to come again to New York for financial aid; all of which tends to permanent- ly increase the flnancial prestige of the United States. So long as these Influences remain at work, the infla- tion movement must continue, and when war ceases there will be com- pensations to offset their disappear- ance. A great industrial awakening is already on foot in this country, industries are being created at unprecedented rate. Unless all signs mislead, we have alrcady en- tered a new era of industrial prog- ress in which the rewards of industry will be more equitably distributed than in the past, One of the most assuring the rapid pearance of public hostility to the ! railroads, which has been such an impediment to their proper develop- ment. For the first time in many | years, the railroads were scarcely a factor in the political campaign, and the prospects of their securing fair treatment in the future are daily im- proving. American railroads have been literally starved to death for want of new capital which could only be obtained upon practically ruinous terms. Tn 1909 railroad capital ap- | Stocks, $309,000,000 | and bonds and notes, $706,000,000.

CLOTHES BY THE WELL DRESSED WOME WHO WEAR THEM. Most of our well dressed friends get their Clothes here, if you doubt it, ask | them! Suits and Coats can be bought any- where. But if you want style, you want to go where stylish women go. Youwll see them here—and you'll | see the kind of clothes they wear,— | anytime you drop in. notes were $757,000,000. The enor- | mous shrinkage in railroad stock is- zes compared with the great mass | nt testimony of effect of ignorant, preju- | diced antagonism to legitimate rail en- | fect of ignorant and prejudiced an- ! tagonism to legitimate railroaq en- | terprise. As a result, the country has been hampered by the lack of new | mileage and better traffic facilities. | The unsatisfactory service which rail- | roads have been giving for the last six months is entirely due to private | capital being frightened away from | providing the needed assistance. There | is no real call in this country for gov- of railroads; hat is needed is intelligent and just regulation, permitting private capital to secure reasonable returns and fair | & treatment generally. Comparing the | new issues for industrial concerns, we find that in 1909 the total amount of industrial capital applications was $301,000,000 of stock, and bond and sues $362,000,000; while in 1915 the total stocks were $302,000,000 and bonds and notes, $351,000,000. Such comparisons require no comment. This week the government crop re- port estimated the corn yield at 2,- | 643,000,000 bushels compared with £ ,000,000 bushels a year ago. Of wheat the yield Is estimated at only | 607,000,000 bushe: against 1,011,- 000,000 bushels last year. These fig- ures explain the high cost of food, without regard to the war which has | further lessened the worlds supplies | by reduced yields and increased wast- | age. The high yield of cotton, meats, leather, wool, copper, coal and other necessities is almost entirely a ques- tion of supply. While the outlook of the market | continues favorable the abnormal con- | ditions prevailing should not be for- gotten. The longer the rise continues | the greater the risk unless occasional reactions are permitted for readjust- ment and strengthening of the techni- | cal position. While the ! profits is not in sight, it should be re- | membered that large portions of these | are going into new .plant, especially in steel concerns. Unreasonable ex- | pectations of increased dividends may | therefore invite dlsappointment, al- though such appropriations from earnings will often really strengthen the companies making them. Out- | lays of this character tend to dimin- ish the applications for outside cap: tal, which is accumulating ana will be more and more tempted into mew | enterprises of questionable character. | Taking all things into consideration | there is good reason for continued op- | timism, because money is plentiful, credit sound, and confldence well e! tablished. Nevertheless there is vastly more need of good judgment than in | any ordinary boom, for the reason that the situation is extraordinary in all respects, is full of untried circum- stances and liable to sudden changes.
