From a great mass|tor The Star. . eee What fs the business situation and what {s the prospect? To answer these questions, it fs necessary to examine several sets of facts. Frank A. Vanderlip of the National City bank of New York, the largest bank In the United States, and who was for years financial editor of the Chicago Tribune, says that a diagnosis and forecast of business may be made with considerable assurance if one has accurate data on the crop situation, the statistics of bank clearings, data of foreign trade, the statistics of transportation, and the facts in regard to a few of the « industrial factors, such as steel, textiles and lumber. The business situation and outlook at present under these heads may be summed up as follows: CROP CONDITIONS ARE Most EXCELLENT The crop situation Is unusually fine. that of last year, when a majority of the the average. partment of agriculture shows that the condition of all crops of the) United States on June 1 was 2.2 per cent above the ten-year average condition on that date, Last year, on June 1, the condition of all crops! was 1.2 per cent below the ten-year average, and as the season declined to November, the crops were 6.7 below the ten-year average. Therefore, this year, at this time, the crops are 9.5 per cent better than the crops of a year ago—at least the prospeets are that much better. Wint is 7, with the ten-year avera, ples 106.5, barley 106. Onions, cabbages, watermelons, etc, are .* little below the average, and these bring down the average to 102.2 for all crops above the average, The important crops would average much better than 102.2. Fo id THE SITUATION TODAY IN BANKING j —_————— ‘The next important factor in the business situation ts the record of banking operations, as bearing on whether holders of money aro giving credit to business or the reverse. The office of the United States comptroller of the currency has full data on this subject. ptroller’s offices requires every bank to report certain facts having to do with the bank's condition at the hour of the call. The bank must tell the amount of deposits, loans! and discounts, reserve, capital on hand, and so on. The last call of this sort for which data are complete was made March 4, 1914, and the data were completed and published tn April. ‘This statement shows for all the national banks in the United States that their loans and discounts on that date amounted to $6,357.- 535,598.41. “on April 4, 1913, approximately a year previous, the loans and dis counts reported by the same banks were $6,178,096,379.33. ‘This shows an increase in the amount of money loaned by the banks to business of approximately 180 millions this year, as compared with & year ago. In other words, business is utilizing that much more money and) bankers are getting returns on that much more money, and credit might be considered as being strengthened to that extent. Individual deposits in banks increased since January 13, 1914, by $39,263,704.56, and since April 4, 1913 (a year ago), individual deposits increased $142,541,412.12. ea ran AY PLENTY OF MONEY FOR A BUSINESS REVIVAL af The banks would seem, therefore, to be in excellent condition to| take care of any business movement that may start, Hates of interest | are and have been low, and there is plenty of money to be had on fair T | tne lack has been a lack cf business demand. The new banking! law will put into operation a new machinery of credits whose effect, it is generally edmitted, will be to make the borrowing of money easier.

But mother let me find out alone all the things about life living other people and myself. “Its a wonder, my dear girl,” I could not help saying, “that you fair in face and strong in body as you have. “I don’t think I would have done 80, Margie,” Mollie confessed shyly, “had you never married Dick, 1 had gotten so that admiration and attention, even from strangers, was almost necessary to me. “Mother never inquired, when I brought one of the rich young men about, where I met him.
