owed money now own money and have an
assured outlet for their product as there is
no over-suppylng.
1.-THE cloud Of uncertainty which has
been hanging over the country for so long
ard gradually growing more threatening is
now passing away, and it may be said that
the worst of the storm has now passed
There will in all probability be mercantile
disturbances for some months to come but
readjustment and recuperation are we'll I'M
der way, and unless labor troubles should
retard the Improvements or monopolies of
capital interfere TO keep prices at too high a
level it is expected that before many
months have passed business will be on a
safer and more normal basis
In regard to the depression last fall. he
continues:
1.-THE panic was entirely financial. Tt
has, it is true, brought about widespread
suspension of trade and industry Throughout
the country, but there has been no throwing
of the market of merchandise at ruinous
prices, the usual accompaniment of indust.
rial panics. The manufacturers, on the
contrary faced the inevitable, and without
delay proceeded to curtail the supply and
thus reduce such chances as there might
have been of glutting the market with un-
salable articles. Fortunately for the coun-
try, warning of the trouble was given early
and it was possible to take time to prepare
for it.
1.-The railways were among the earliest
and greatest sufferers from the financial
stringency. They found it almot impossible
to dispose of securities at reasonable prices,
were forced to issue short time notes at com
paratively high rate of interest to enable
them to continue their Developments. As
wages were high, owing to scarcity of labor
and high prices were being paid for mater
ials, the earnings of the railways were con
siderably reduced, although the gross earn
ings showed an increase. This brought
about lower quotations for railway shares
and the industrials followed the downward
path.''

WHY GOOD TIMES ARE ASSURED.

According to 9 Washington dispatch to
tue New York Herald, Seymour Bell, Brit
ISM commercial agent in this country has
made careful ANALYSIS of of our financial
CONDITION for his government, and as a re-
suit sees the passing of uncertainty and the.
return of business prosperity. He renorts
recupefatlon from the financial depression
OF last fall already under way and predicts
SAFER and more normal basis for general
business.
His predictions are encouraging from
the fact that they are in direct line with
those made by the best American author
tiles while they have an added significance
for the reason that be has regarded condit.
ions from disinterested standpoint
Among the important points he BRINGS
out are the following:
A country that produces crops valued
at g, 500, 600, 900 sterling is unlikely to suf-
fer long from industrial stagnation. It.
represents too large an amount to be held
long uninvested. Farmers have had nine
years Of almost uninterrupted prosperity,
their buying power is high, and the towns
dependent upon them will remain prosper
Gus.
The farmers who few years ago,

Idaho Falls raised So, 500 for a Fourth
OF July Celebration. The subscription list
IS published and many the leading houses
nave donated as much as $500 TO make the
event success. Such spirit as this
makes towns grow as Idaho Falls has grown
ana the merchants realize a good return
from their enterprise.
