some lime been iu a low fuaDcla, condition, we
fiud an average increase OF earnings amounting TO
! g IS per cent. his tsCt tells the story, more
exactly than any other evidence can, 10 the

il does not need 10 be SAID that at a la er stage
such evidences OF prosperity must have Their
effect in more important rise IN the prices OF
securities than ha, yet occurred.
