TURN IN THE BUSINESS TIOE.

We have passed the mid-panic
period safely. and are again soa--sh.
uptide. Something like twenty years
interview between successive finan.
cial commissions in the United States.
We had them in 1917. 1897. and 1857.
The civil war broke the sequence for
IN. moment. but II was resumed i'm
mesiiately afterwards. The business
dislocation of 1873 was followed by
another general Industrial wreck in
1893. Still another is due in 1913 IL
this twenty-year law of periodicity
be maintained. Midway. however, be-
'ween each of these cataclysms is a
milder reaction. which checks specu-
iaions, stops the upward movement
IN prices and causes depression which
lasts for year or two. This was seen
IN the halfway period between the
antebellum panics, and has appeared
between those which have come since.
me Grant and Ward failure of 1884,
which is well remembered, was one OF
a series of wrecks which took place in
that year and in 1888. Beginning with
the Northern Pacific cyclone of 1901.
we have had check in the upward
bound of prices which has affected
nearly all kinds Of stocks and many
sorts Of business.
But the upward turn is here. and It
is showing itself in the old familiar
ways. Bank clearings, railway earn
ings and the tables of merchandise
imports tell very interesting tale
these days. All are beginning to make
new highest" IT is evident that the
pathway period OF depression which
strikes the country between success
sive financial commissions has been
successfully passed, and an era of
higher prices and more active trade
is at hand. The fidelity with which
these successive upward bounds and
backward movements have been re-
peated gives us an assurance that for
eight or ten years in the Immediate
future the country will have prosper.

run its allotted course before adver-

For November, 1904, the imports Of
merchandise amounted to $4,000 900
as compared with $1,000, 900 In the
