The recent stringenCv in the money
market has had very little effect upon
the State of Maine and her industries,
Our people from the first regarded it as
merely a temporary depression largely
Dire to the extraordinary demands for
currency incident to the crop moving pc
Rod. Our banks have been entirely out
side the current of stock speculation, con-
servativeIy managed, meeting fully the
calls of their customers and amply fortl-
fod against all possible demands upon
them manufacturing enterprises in TINS
sectior have gone forward without IN
terruntion. and retail merchants report
the usual volume of trade. Indeed, the
brief period of depression that grew out
of the tight money market has caused
scarcely a ripple in this part of New Eng
land While Maine people have not been
affected by it to any appreciate degree
and have viewed it almost wholly from
the outside, they are, nevertheless slau
that it is practically over and that WIN

Slowed Down For Few Weeks
---Resumes al Full Speed.
Letters From Maine Are All Of the
Brightest Description.

Boston. Dec. S.-The Boston Sunday
Herald says Energetic New England,
that doesn't often take Il rest, slowed
down little two or three weeks ago.
Now it is going ahead again under good
preSsuc, with every bearing oiled.
Hopefuiness is in the air. Every one
is looking forward. Factories and
lorgeS, machine shops and mills, are
weaving, Welding, casting and shaping
the industrial commodities that yield
prosperity. In some places they did not
know there had been furry; in other
places they were too busy to think
about it.
In response to request from The
Herald the editors of many New Eng
land newspapers, men who are in close
touch with their constituencies, have
sent reports of the business conditions
as they are and as they see them in the
immediate future. They tell one plain
story.
The sun is shining over New Eng
land. There are no dark clouds IN
sight. The messages are printed here
with. They reflect the situation in
other sections. The country Is pros
porous.

To the Editor of The Herald:
All Maine east of the Kenneboc river
is seemingly as solid as the rock of
Gibraltar The sawmills have been
obliged to close work from excess of
ice with contracts untitled and with
logs waiting to be converted into ium-
Der Nest of the pulp and paper mills
are running day and night to overtake
their orders The farmers have vast
reserves of potatoes and hay and apples
TO be marketed. The granite quarries
are rushing their contracts and hiring
new men. Wages for men going into
the woods for the winter, which fell
off Just before Thanksgiving, are now
back to topnOtch rates. Meat products
are cheaper, giving the workingmen a
chance to save more money. There
have been more new buildings con-
structed in 1907 than in any previous
wear since the panic of 1898 Since the
opening of the present year electric
power from new dams has been put in
to save more than 100000 a year In
