 The crop year starts off under fairly fa- vorabe auspices, and even winter wheat which had a trying fall and winter seems to be coming on reasonably well There is an increasing realization that the losses which have been incurred are mainly the disappearance of paper prof it's or inability to discount the future too far ahead There has been no important curtailment in the rate of increase of ae- tua1 wealth.
 It may be said in truth and almost without qualification that the business year of 1904 starts in well and that the prospects are bright. The general sit nation may be described as healthy and legitimate conditions as wholesome. Workingmen everywhere are confronted with the promise of full employment at living wages while on the other hand constructive enterprise is measureably relieved from extortionate demands by misguided persons temporarily in con trol of labor organizations. The whole population seems to be settling down to A policy of live and let live. This augurs well for the stock market. for manufac- turing and mercantile enterprise There is small liability of wild or imprudent speculation in any direction The blood Is cooled sufficiently to give insurance against that sort of calamity.
