COMMERCIAL CONDITION AND PROSPERITY
The further Developments as regards indua
ulh conditions In the United states are on the
whole favorable Beyond this thore are signs
lhat production Is on the increase In soiue OF
tue leading Industries of the country IL is moi
unlikely that such Improvement may br
going on without much reference Ia
the necessities OF more than one
for higher freight rates and Increased earn.
lngs; Inc fact comes from Phlladelp IN that
TIE demand for carpets Is OF unuaual proper
lions, so great indeed that producers have aim.
Guilty In keeping pace Herewith. such fact
suggests the view that the industries nearest
the people have been and are now in a much
better condition than Is implied by the com.
plalnts mat come from Wall street and the
European bourses. The railway man Is OF
course right In counting on increased earnings
from an Increase in the country's business, hut
II is becoming plain that the reasoning may be
carried too far; this for the simple reason
that decreasing freight rates are d
tremendous stimulus to the growth OF
business IN general there Is Indeed
much to be said for the Wow that
the newspaper writing OF the last decade oil
more has done much to give us iacorreot
notions as TO what con stltutcs prosperity ThC
orlet periods of extreme speculation and high
prices are made much OF, 10 the neglect OF the
intervening years of quiet but rapid wealth
accumulation, Thus the years from ls73 TO ISL.
are usually spoken'Of as a period of depression
and hard times yet as q matter Of fact, as re
IN
one of great accumulation OF property. OWlnl
TO the iournslsts excessive reliance upon
advertising, he has not always been free Il
tell all the facts OF commerce The adyer,
Using tide IL highest vii IN trade booms arc
on; hence the bias for speculation and high
prices. Gradually this difficulty IN tcmedyinp
itself. Progress is toward an enlarged public
ity as regards the underlying facts OF business
And, as ica'ed, with this our notions as 10
what Indicates radc prosperity must in some
degree be changed
The situation with respect TO the state OF
business on the New York and London Stock
eNchang yes and ON the continental bourses
challenges the closest scrutiny. The prime
difficulty is that quantities. of more or less
doubtful railroad securities have been passing
into financial hands, and this both at New York
and London. This, OF course, tends 10 bring
about rerilous banking conditions, but there
are no indications tufieicnt to iustify predic-
lions Of approaching disaster -, Braastreet.
