Phenomenal activity, reaching to
every branch of trade and industry,
marked the year 1905.
During the summer of 1904 the ma
tion began to recover from prolong-
ed season of business stagnatlon. AS
the months of that year progressed,
conditions became more and more ia
vorable. Both in speculation and in
the lines of actual industry the spirit
lof revival was eXtant, and the end OF
the year witnessed conditions that
were gratifying to business interests
in the extreme.
With the dawn of 1905 this state OF
affairs continued. and throughout the
twelve months growth in all lines of
commercial enterprise was main
ltained.
There was not a month in which
the financial position of the nation
was not strengthened The business
lof the country gained momentum as
the year progressed, until in the final
weeks the most remarkable state of
activity ever displayed in the history
of the United States was witnessed.
Remarkable in many respects, the
distinctive feature of 1905 in its finan-
!cial and commercial aspect was its
.eyenness. No machinery ran more
easily, more smoothly than the ma.e-
trial currents. 1t was a steady ad-
vance in production and consumption;
la constant increasing demand for
banking accommodations an accumu-
Ilation of deposits, the immediate in
idex of expanding wealth. The latter
half of the period developed demand
for supplies which taxed the capacity
lOf factories, mills and mines to supply.
This was the stimulation of an un-
Iprecedented crop of grains upon a
market expanded to normal proper
'tions. The earlier activity was the
continuation of the previous year,
when business revived from a year of
stagnation and inactivity, from a year
of liquidation and pessimism. The
movement gathered force during the
winter. and with the open weather the
building operations of the people be-
came general. calling every idle hand
into use. The indices of material af-
fairs pointed to strong pressure
everywhere, reflect the bounty of
Dame Fortune in the ranks of the
capitalist and the laborer.

Tea in Texas.

The Brooklyn Eagle says that
enough tea has been grown in. the
South to show that the plant will
thrive under the right conditions, and
with the wonderful range of soils, eli
mates and temperatures which this
country possesses it would seem as If
We might domesticate any form OF
vegetable life that the world affords;
yet little seems to have come of the
southern tea industry, because, ap.
parently, the plant has not been gath
cred and treated as it is in Asia. There
is hope for the new enterprise in
Texas, which is to be conducted by a
new colony of japanese people for
whom We profess admiration, yet
whom We try to bar from our shores
as We pretend to bar lepers and Grim
inals. These busy and intelligent
little men have secured a large tract
in the San Antoine" country and will
raise mulberry trees, silk worms and
tea.

creasing money wealth to create new
and abundant credit on which to build
new enterprises, there was no reason
not be cast aside.
During 1904 demand loans of stock
market collateral in New York
usually the best test of money sur
plus or scarcity in the country-went
as low as one-half of / per cent, and
even in the usually tight month of
December did not get above per
cent. Time loans in the same market
had been placed as low as 1A per
cent and not above 5 per cent. And
all the time the increased gold produc-
ton in the Transvaal, Australia, Alas
ka and the United States proper add
ed abundantly to the stores of money
wealth of the world.
In November of 1904 much stress
had been laid on the fact that the to-
tai deposits of the national banks of
the country had reached the pinnacle
of $3.50, ,639,949. Each recurring re-
port of the comptroller of the cur
rency, however, showed this record
surpassed, until that one published
last month showed total national bank
deposits at $5,554,S45,1 ,194.
OF the total deposits at the close of
1904 New York held $1,224 ,206600, or
little less than one-fifth, and of the
total loans of the country New York
had accommodations to the extent of
$1,145,9S9, 200, or more than one-third.

STRENGTH IN MONEY cENTERs.
Greatest Fear of All on the Stock
EXCHANGES.

Exchanges.
Considered from almost any and
every point of view, but gauged par
ticularly by New York stock exchange
standards, 1905 has been the great
'est year of all. Whereas 1903 brought
the stock market deluge for the sins
of excessive trust promotion, CONNER
cial over-expansion and speculative
.debauches of Immediately previous
years, and 1904 brought the moderate
iafterclap of the upheaval of the ex-
changes in moderate commercial re-
preston, the year nov closed has
been tuned to one dominant note-op-
timistic progress.
The signs are many, but few stand
out SO strongly as proof of develop
mentS that to cite them is conclusive.
Briefly. these may be summarized as
follows:
Never has the farm wealth of the
country equaled that of 1905.
Commercial failure liabilities, in
spite of exceptional banking disturb
'ances Of sporadic character. have
been less actually and relatively than
in any period since the panic days of
1888. with the exception of 1899.
Total deposits of the national banks
of the country are greatest in history,
Iand aggregate loans of the banks like

money is being closely employed.

Railway earnings of the roads of
ithe country roughly exceed all pre-
Ivious records by ~ per cent.
Both imports and exports of mer-
lchandise in the foreign trade of the
lcountry once more have attained new
high records.
Prices of leading securities. both
railway and industrial. used to ascer-
tain the mean level of stock market
values, during the last month of the
year have eclipsed all previous high
marks.
Speculation of the country, as meas.
ured by the sales of stocks on the
New York stock exchange. has sur.
passed even the enormous totals of
1901. when trust financing was at its
height.

FARM URGES SLIGHTLY LOWER.
Inevitable When the Enormous Crops
Are Considered,

With enormous crops of grain over
the West it is natural that farm prices
should average lower, but declines as
compared with the high average of
1904 were small as compared with
years prior to 1904, with the exception
of corn, oats, and barley, which are
lower. Farm prices Dec. 1 for the
