New York, August, 11.—Theso are | the main factors in the present busi- | ness situation: A highly . profitable harvest for grain, cotton, fruits and vegetables. A ‘sound financial situation. Great industrial activity arising from war expenditures of $10,000,000, 000 or more. Steady grawth of government con- trol over industrial movements and prices, Aside from a poor spring wheat crop, the gBvernment crop report was highly encouraging. The month of | July showed great improvement in nearly all crops. The most satisfac- | tory factor was an unexpected corn | crop of 3,191,000,000 bushels, com- pared with the previous bumper crop | of 3,124,000,000 bushels. The signi- | ficance of the is great crop will he | appreciatéd by a comparison of prices. | At present corn in Chicago is selling | at about $2.25 a bushel, this abnormal price being due to special causes. A year ago the price was about 45 cents. September corn, however, which more nearly represents a fair price, is selling above $1.65 in western markets, which is double the price of a year ago. The present price of wheat is in the neighborhood of $2.40 in western markets, compared with about $1.45 last year. Other grains are also selling at very high prices, though the increase is nat so great as in the case of wheat and corn. A big potato crop is assured. A good cotton crop is also probable, present indications pointing to a yeild of 11,900,000 bales, which compares with 11,400,000 bales in 1916 and a five year average of 14,200,000 bales, Catton is selling at about 27 cents, compared with 14 1-2 cents a year ago. It is quite evident that our dgricultural classes are about to enjoy a season of undreamed pros- perity for in spite of te increased costs of production the margin of profit to the farmer has increased enormously, and he needs no coddling. The same is also true in many lines of industry. Iron, copper, lead and tin are all selling at prices affording extraord- inary profits to the producer, and not- withstanding higher costs of produc- tion and advances in wages our min- eral industries, with possibly the ex- ception of coal, are also enjoying un- expected prosperity. It is a very strik- ing fact that such producers of raw materials as farmers and miners are today enjoying larger profits than any other class. The manufacturing classes and distributors of these products are also enjoying great prosperity, which, however, has been materially modified by increased costs of doing business and by concessions to labor. Right here a new factor has been injected which causes great uncertainity and some unsettlement; that is, the ever- extending control of government over industry and prices. The food bill, passed August 8, is vastly more far reaching than is com- manly supposed. It is not mandatory, vet bestows upon the president of the United States power to regulate in- dustry on a scale and with a compete- ness never before exercised in any country of the world. Mr. Wilson may when he chooses completely regulate all of the great industries of the United States. Our railroads are already under practically gavernment Teguation, and shipping is gradually approaching the same control. The government has recently laid its hand upon the export trade, and it is now proposed to similarly regulate the im- port traffice of the country. Along with these measures comes the power to regulate prices. Truly, war is a ane-man business. These vast powers could be used for weal or woe, but Mr. Wilson has the confidence of the people and can be relied upon to act wisely. Everything depends upon the direction and degree to which they are applied. If drastically used, much loss and confusion will be inevitable. If used with care and prudence, they may accomplish great good. They can only be juctified as war measures, for trade and indust will ever prosper more under self-development and regulation than under government domination. These new methods have, of cou introduced great changes into business. Now that the Féod Regulation bill has been passed, and the details of the revenue measure are settled, business can be freed of many urcertainties and will be better able to undertake obligations entering into the future. With these two all important measures practically settled, much of the doubt which paralyzed business for the past three months will disappear and the way will be opened to renewed activity. Agricul- turfal prosperity will undoubtedly greatly stimulate business at the in- terior, while the huge expenditures rendered necessary by war will stimu- late business in Eastern sections. A good cotton crop at high prices must similarly affect the South, Thus, for all sections of the country, an active business is to be reasonably expected for the coming fall and winter. Of course, much unrest may develop here and there, owing to unavoidable de- rangements caused by the war, also to disaffection in industries and classes unavorably affected by the same cause. Our banking situation is exception- ally satisfactory, considering the vast strain imposed upon our resources by the war. The Liberty Loan was suc- ully floated with scarcely a ripple. It was the bizgest financial transac- tion in our history, and vet made com- partively gmall impression .upon either loans or discounts. Another finstalment will probably be issued within & couple of months. Terms are already being discussed, and op- timistic opinions as to its success are universal. There is an abundance of money to invest, and the probabilities are that the second lean will be even more liberally subscribed for than the first. Many buyers who were too timid to avail themselves of the first offer will act upon the second. Savings banks have adapted themselves to tho changed situation, and will be more ready to co-operate o.: the second loan than at the time of the first offering, when there was justly some fear of depositors withdrawing their funds toa freely. This fear has since adisappeared. Many wealthy buyers ov..iA Richter&Co! MEMBERS NEW YO RK 31 WEST MAIN STREET ... TE L. 2040.

Interest in the war has also deepened considerably during the past month, and this will be helpful. The outlook of the mrket is some- what confused by numerous Cross cur= rents. As shown above the agricul- tural and industrial interests of the country are sure of a season of great prosperity, which will be reflected in | all the distributive branches of trade. | The chief offsets are government regu- lation of industry and trade and the diversion of capital from new indus- trial developments to war purposes. Some inconvenience may be felt by the withdrawal of labor for army pur- poses; but this on the other hand will be offset by various economies, by curtailing the production of unneces- saries and by the introduction of labor saving devices. As for government regulation of business, that should now be a factar of diminished un- certainity. The limitations and meth- ods of such regulation are already known. They arte left largely at the discretion of the president. He may or may not exercise these powers. Thus far, the administration has shown a disposition to use these powers wisely and in moderation, and to prevent excessive and unfair profits rather than to prevent fairly liberal returns, which are often justified by the necessities and unusual risks created by war. Mid-summer quiet prevails at present, but before very long activity should be upon the as- cending scale. Very few industrials selling on the basis of war United States steel, for instance, sell- ing only upon the basis of dividends actually paid. Hence government re- straint upon profits through price fixing or taxation of excess profits may not prove quite as harmful as some- times feared. Tt is well also to re- member that drastic reduction of pro- fits by the government would lessen the taxes from excess profits. that there are in Washington today large number of our ablest busines: men serving the country patriotically and without profit to themselves.
