SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.
British Commercial Agent Points
out ImproUed Conditions.

London, Sept. 26-The report OF Seymour Bell
the commercial agent OF Great Britain III the
United States, Of the trade Of The United states
for l903-'O4 was issued to-day. After poinuhs
out the decrease in imports il says:
IN part OF the year the climax of al almost
unparalleled period OF prosperity was reached.
aud values were forced up 10 their extreme linn
its. Speculation was enormous and the over
extensions Of business led eventually TO cur
tsiment OF credit. More securities were thrown
on the country than IL able TO absorb. A
business Immediately took place. Large orders
were cancelled. and period OF comparative
quiet began The country requires time TO rest
and recuperate, ard the gambler time TO forget
this period OF inflated prices and excessive spec
ulation.
Many manufacturers, says MT. Bell VINO neg
lected their businesses in attempts 10 gain fabu-
lous fortunes in Wall Street, have now returned
10 their factories. He adds:
At the present time II would be exceedingly
difficult TO float company Of any size. The in
forget their heavy lOsse during the late indus
trial boom. How long this period Of recupera-
tiOn will last depends largely on the size OF the
crops. The present indications do not point TO
a long period OF low prices.
The dumping Of iron and steel. Mr. Bell also
says. has decreased. and has increased the cost
of manufacture in America TO a considerable ex-
tent He continues:
II has been suggested in several quarters that
the dumping was suspended for political reasons,
the object being TO stiie any agitation with ref
erence TO tariff questions.
Mr.. Bell in summing up says:
The general business Of the country is abso-
lutely sound.
