AN OUTSIDE
LOOK AT us.
THE ENGLISH AND MEXICAN
VIEW OF OUR BUSINESS
PROSPECTS.

Many opinions have been given of
'ate as to the probable duration of
the present period of prosperity i'm
The United States. over in London
Sir Felix Schuster holds that the
period of great financial and indus
trial activity in the United States is
nearing its end, and must be re-
placed by liquidation Similar views
nave been printed coming from
American business men, but the
great majority think, APPARENTLY, that
the turn of the tide" will not ar
rive till after the present year.
Bouncer crops the coming autumn
would aid in maintaining prosperity,
though fear is expressed of the reck-
lessnes of the great Wall-street spec
ulators.
1t is argued that the very real
prosperity which has continued SO
long must have resulted in large saw
lngs which will powerfully aid in
keeping things going, especially if
the great bankers and men of in
iuence and capital adopt "A more
cautious policy, coupled with re-
Tenement and the curbing Of waste
and extravaganza.
Some of the London financial
writer's are cautioning investors
against "plunging" in American Sc
curities, and one London criticism
OF New York fnanciers is that they
nave been attempting an impossi-
Dility in running two things at the
same time-namely a commercial
and a speculative boom" British
experience IS that great stock ex-
change activity does not coincide
with similar conditions in the lead
ing Industries. British critics point
to labor troubles as sure to arise
in the United States on account of
the higher cost of living. and they
call attention to the prospect of
heavy additions to the Capitalization
OF leading American railways
The London attitude toward
American investments is not wholly
a distrustful one. but 1t is marked
by caution. American prosperity Is
thought to be too great to last much
longer
Meantime the leading American
business men are going forward CON
1dently enough. and plans are be-
Ing made for a gree. addition to the

TO SECURE INDICTMENTS

WASHINGTON. D. c., May 20.-The
government has decided to renew the
cases against the so-called fertilizer
trust before the United States District
Court at Richmond. Va. About a year
ago the government secured the in
dictment and arrest of large num-
Der of persons residing in different
parts of the country on charge of
violating the Sherman antitrust law.
and sought to secure the removal to
Nashville. when suit was begun, of
such defendants arrested outside OF
the State of Tennessee. The Virginia
defendants, however, contended that
before they could be removed from the
State they should be given a prelimi-
nary hearing to determine the suff1-
cheney Of the evidence upon which
their removal was asked. The court
sustained the government on this point
but. on an appeal being taken. the
United States Supreme Court, about
two months ago, found against the
government. but without prejudice to
It's case, and ordered that the defen-
dants be discharged.
The Department of Justice, has now
decided to try the Individual defen-
dants in the States In which they re-
side. and will almost Immediately pro-
ceed to secure the indictment and re-
arrest of the Virginia parties to the
alleged combination. Other indict-
mNnts and arrests will, it is said, be
made in Tennessee and other States. I,
is said that there are thrty-ono fer
tilizcr companies in the alleged COM
bination, and that originally twenty
four individuals were indicted and ar
rested. t1i
