SO and costs each, amounting TO

ofcomodities as well as of securities, aud in the fact that no serious tightening of money has occurred ia financial centers.
 This condition of things is based upon knowledge and judgment of the position of the United States. No theory of the duration or sever fly nof the conflict encourages be- lief in the dem orallzation of our in. ternal or foreign commerce, al- though the one may be. diminished and the other restricted as the free movement of merchandise from this country to foreign ports is impeded. America IS the worlds greatest granary, and upon our food pro- ducts the civilized world is depend ent. We have at home everything that is necessary for our subsist- ence and the material and the means for manufacturing every thing that is necessary to the carry ing on of war. With all material considerations in our favor there is no reason for losing faith in our selves.
 It is only reasonable that capital should be more prudent and invest ment more conservative; that in time of excitement of the public mind trade should be depressed, merchants restricting their orders and industry consequently hesita- ting. These are the first steps in readiustment to new condition of things. But paralysis of general business, stoppage of industries and Iwidespread demoralization no thoughtful observer believes will re- suit.
 F Invasion of the country is not threatened and the task the United States has undertaken entails no great tax on it's strength. Looking at the question from whatever point of view one may, confidence should bestimulated and war permitted to be only an episode in national &C., tivity, without menace to the ma terial advancement of the nation.
