New YORK, Oct. 1S-The Evening Post,
speaking of war prospects in its financial
column, says: Looking over the whole sltua-
ton, however, it is impossible to come to
any other conclusion than that the war, even
If it is confined to Russia and Turkey, which
is hardly among the possibilities, will be all
that is needed to awaken the dormant indus
tries of this country, and to give us degree
OF profitable activity in every branch of bu
siness such as has not been seen for many
years. So far as the price of gold is affected
by foreign trade, it must be borne in mind
that as respects breadstuff, one of the great
sources of supply for wheat will be cut of,
a good part of the wheat which supplies the
world coming from Russia; there will be an
enormous demand for our breadstuf and
provisions, in fact all food products; that
there also will be great demand for coarse
manufactures, and particularly for everything
that comes under the hand Of war supplies;
that this demand will directly help transpor,
tation lines of all kinds and will indirectly
stimulate every branch of industry. 1t must
not be forgotten that at least q part of that
which our exports will gain in this way will
he lost in cotton, of which we have an enor
NOUS crop this year. Whether the domestic
consumption of cotton can be increased SO as
to compensate for whatever reduction there
may be in foreign demand is another ques
ton.
