AN ERA OF PROSPERITY.

Speaking of the multiplying evil
dences that the country has already
entered upon an era of exceptional
prosperity, Henry Clews in his review
OF the weeks business says:
'sThe war is now factor of second
airy Importance. Peace rumors have
had little effect, partly because of a
disbelief in SPANS readiness to &C.
cept our terms, and partly because
peace is being discounted in advance
of it's accomplishment. The control
ling influences just now are the en-
couraging conditions in agriculture
and industry. Upon these our future
prosperity chiefly rests. War may
prove stimulus to trade, but gen.
uine prosperity was never built upon
war basis. 1t is more important to
know that the farmers have had one
prosperous season and are getting out
of debt at an astonishing rate. An
other season of large crops, fair
prices and good exports is in prospect.
Cotton is very low in price, and a
large yield is anticipates; but the
cost Of production has been greatly
reduced, so that growers will not
suffer hardship. The South has also
be nefted by large fruit crops and a
decided improvement in industrial
conditions there. In New England
the industries, especially textiles, are
not siu satisfactory shape; but the
situation is improving. In the Gen.
trail West manufacturing of all sorts
is in active progress. The production
of pig iron during the last six months
was 6,000,0O0 tons; much the largest
half years production in our history.
Our foreign trade has resulted in a
heavy trade balance in our favor,
which promises large influx of gold,
not to speak of the amount likely to
be soon received from the Klondike.
The extension of our territory also
foreshadows a more active foreign
trade. Money is easy; confidence is
rising, and all the chief trade forces
seem to be concentrating in the d.
rection Of business revival. Under
such conditions railroad prosperity
must be continuous; and it is for such
reasons tn at we have implicit conf
dence in higher prices for stocks later
on"
Referring to SPANS proposition for
peace, he indicates the feeling pre-
vailing through business circles, of a
lack of confidence in her movements
in the following statement:
sit is certainly not beneath what
may be fairly expected of Spanish
craftsmanship that Spain should re-
sort to dilatory tricks of this charac-
ter; on the contrary, it is the kind OF
action we might reasonably look for,
and the fact that the present incipi-
ent stage of our operations has been
chosen for making peace offers is sus-
piciously suggestive that this may
prove to be her game. 1t smacks
strongly of Castilian trick that we
should be asked for an armistice and
possibly long suspension of HOSTILE
ties wit hin a few days Of our certain
ca pture of Porto Rico and when the
completion Of our capture of SPANS
army in the Philippines may be any
day expected; and for this reason oul
governments response to M. Cam
| bon's oVertures needs to be most
carefully guarded by precautions.
