ON CREST OF GREAT WAVE
Germany Enjoying Unprecedented
Prosperity, But Financiers
Think Crest Of Wave
Reached

Berlin-Although Germany is on the
top wave of prosperity skepticism as
to the duration of the boom has been
increasing for several months and the
outside public has kept aloof from
speculative investments in industrial
stocks, notwithstanding the continued
publication of unusually brilliant an
nual reports by the companies, show
ing large gains, the declaration of
dividends, increases in orders and
higherprices for manufactured pro-
ducts.
This sober attitude on the part of
private investors is ebginnig to gain
the support of the manufacturers and
bankers, who, being able to glance
behind the scenes of industrial activ-
|ity, express fears that the boom has
already exhausted itsSlfy~-%Q hRn. aakad
to give reasons for this view, the
manufacturers and bankers point to
the dearness of money, the high prices
of commodities, the high wages and
the expensive operations to which all
the industrial establishments have
been committed. The Industrial con-
ditions are everywhere admitted to
be sound
Every branch of manufactures is
taxed to its utmost productive capac-
ity, and in the coal and iron industries
supplies must be purchased in increas-
ing quantities from abroad chiefly
from Great Britain, in order to make
up the deficiencies at home. The mines
and furnaces have booked orders
months ahead, but they are unable
to deliver the goods in time.
The state railroads in the coal re-
gions are far from being able to cope
with the traffic requirements and In
the Essen district a shortage of coal
cars results in preventing from $4,000
to $4,000 tons of coal from reaching
the consumers.
The receipts of the railroads for
October are S4,O0G0O0 above those of
October, 1905, an increase of II per
cent, and the foreign trade of Ger
many shows the heaviest movement
ever known, in both exports and inn
ports
The Dusines sactiyity in all direc-
tions causes an unusual scarcity of
labor, the production in the coal and
iron trades in particular being kept
down through that cause. Neverthe-
less both these industries are breaking
all records. Many of the coal and iron
companies are seeking additional cap
ital to build new plants or enlarge
old ones, but most of the enterprises
of this description are delayed on ac-
count Of dear money.
The general conclusion, which seems
justified, is that Germany's industrial
situation is still thoroughly sound, and
that the prosperity will continue, al
though the rate of expansion NAV be
