To say that 1902 was the best yea,

the United States took during the year
Practically every branch OF ordinary
trade and manufacture showed an in
crease above the best Of previous years
and yet this immense enlargement O,
output was not sufficient OF itself to SAT-
isfy the growing-it might even be term
ed nsatiable-demsnd for all kinds Of
materials.
In many cases the usual foreign out %
let for our products was, perforce. neg
lected by American producers. who con-
@ned their efforts TO supplying insistent
d1mestic demand. while in others for
ign production was called upon TO re-
enforce domestic output. with the result
hat new currents and channels were
created in our foreign trade. Our ex-
port trade. therefore, shrunk. while our
imports expanded to unprcc sdented ng.

HENRY GLEWS LOOKS
FORWARD TO PROSPERITY
Financial Conditions Favor
able for Year.
BROKERS ARE OPTIMISTIC
Entering 1903 Under Favorable Au-
spices-Relief Looked for In
Money Market

in the financial world the last year
has been an extremely favorable one.
Bankers and brokers have expressed ex-
treme satisfaction in ne conditions that
have existed and their faith in future
prosperity. Henry Views gives the fol-
lowing opinion Of The situation;
we are going into the new year under
very favorable auspices. The stringent
condition OF the money market is the
only drawback that can see. and that
ought to be relieved soon after January
by the return OF money that has been
in use for moving the crops in the West
and South. The phenomenal corn crop
and the activity In the iron and steel
business can be depended upon TO give
the country prosperous new year.
Ninety Days Panic.
we 20 into the new year after a
slow and gradual panic in the stock
market that has covered the last ninety
days. This made a recession in stock
exchange values amounting to $3.50 900. o.
600. II the depreciation had taken place
in a few days It would have caused
almost as severe a panic as we ever had
Coming gradually. the people met it
without serious disasters to institutions
and firms
1T can therefore be said that we have
had our panic. and / don't see how we
can have another ole soon. Everything
is down to a conservative basis. The
heightened and severe liquidation which
has taken place without bringing Sc
rious disaster is remarkable proof Of
the soundness OF the country's trade and
industry outside of Wall Street. where
the OVERRIDING thus far has been chiefly
confined.
General Prosperity.
The general business situation is GER
tainly prosperous and the country is
vastly richer today than it ever was be-
fore More money is In circulation and
there are more products OF the soil The
output Of gold. iron. copper. lead and
other m tails and minerals is greater
( than ever before. Individual wealth is
greater and labor higher paid. This
gives greater purchasing power than
We have ever had. The activity OF gen
eral trade; the prosperity OF the labor
ing classes; the sustained demand for
ircn manufactures. showing new devel-
opment and construction everywhere:
