Visible on Every Hand.

Reviving prosperity is on every hand.
To be sure it is not coming with a rush
and in the nature of things could not be.
But there are reasons for believing that
the American people are gathering fresh
strength and that confidence SO sOrely
tried Of late years. The many mills and
industries of all kinds that have so severe
ly felt the shocks of incompetent tariffs
and vociferOus demands for besmirching
the national honor. have taken fresh heart
since the memorable verdict of the people
of last November. There were those who
in view of the campaign talk had the idea
that after election business would boom at
and industries that had been keeping
house with closed doors for long periods
would at once resume with full force. This
could hardly be. but within a brief time
after the election was over there had
been such a noticeable revival and so
many men had found employment that
campaign pledges were fully kept in ev-
cry sense of the word. Business is gath
ering strength with every passing week.

A reading of The Stars weekly review
of the real estate situation. printed to-
day. indicates how steadily progressive
is the return of prosperity to this city.
There has been no sudden and unstable
boom in values or in building opera
tons and hence what has been accom-
p!ished has been with a greater guaran-
tee of ~p-rmanence. The shiftin.s of cap
Ital have all been inspired. it would seem.
by a feeling of faith in the ultimate re-
covery of not only the city but the entire
country from the depression that has been
so marked for nearly four years. In con-
hrmafion of this view of the general sit
uatiOn it is TO be noted that the CONNER
cial agencies are this week reporting bust
ness to he improving all over the country.

From the commercial point of view the

For the past several days The Call has
been publishing a series of exclusive fruit
crop reports. both from the East and
California. They tell the story. They
show that the home crop will be scanty.
Good prices will follow rs a natural re-
suit. and millions of Eastern money will
probably flow into California pockets later
on. And as prices for wheat bid fair to
keep up to a profitable plane it is safe TO
say that the California farmer will do
better this year than for some years back.

The return of prosperity is what every

few better indications of this return from
a local standpoint than the appearance
from day to day of the hotel registers. The

they are satisfied that the retail dealers
want goods. and in stringent times retail

The Department of Agriculture is re-
ceiving very gratifying reports from the
farming community. The continuation
of high prices for wheat. the unusual
foreign demand for corn and the activity
among farmers in preparing to make an
earnest experiment in the production Of
sugar beets. combine t. make the cOndi-

~ dared to hope. was cOincident with the

binary demand for their corn adds to their
general encouragement. Coupled with
this comes the activity and interest felt
in the experiments which. are to be made
in all parts of the country in the produc-
ton OF our own sugar. and it is apparent
that the farming community is not only
feeling the return Of prosperity. but is
occupying its mind with cheerful
thoughts.

break in the steel rail pool seems to have

that "the industrial conditions of the
country are sound" for everywhere pro-
ductiOn is restricted to an amount COM
mensurate with the demands for consump-
ton. and with few exceptions stocks are
not being increased. On the contrary.
in many cases consumption appears to be
gaining on production. Another favora-
bic sign is the absence of any great trade
combinations. such. for instance. as those
which until recently hOneycombed the iron
and steel trade from top 20 bottom. These
have gone. and trusts in other lines must
go out of business under the Supreme
Courts decision in the Trans Missouri

The consumer is getting. and will con-
tinue to get. the benefit Of cheap iron ore.
cheap transportation and cheap raw ma
