MOST NOTABLE YEAR IN HISTORY.

The year 1907 has been the most
notable year, from an economic
standpoint i'll the history OF the Uni
ted States. Never before has there
been witnessed such a contest be-
tween supply and demand, demand
for everything that has value, mer-
chandisc, land, labor and money, lar

cess increasing AT such rate that
prices, already too high. continued to

even necessary articles OF much les
sened consumption and often PROM
bition But one commercial factor
reversed this uniform rule: the sup
ply was in excess OF the. demand and
continued to increase while the de-
maud decreased. This factor is one
OF the important factors. especially IS
il directly affects and even governs
business conditions and thus controls
all other commercial values. his
factor was the stocks and bonds OF
the great corporations The value

to steadily rise. while stocks and
bonds as steadily, and more rapidly.

Both the abnormal rise in price,

causes or conditions that led to the
trouble OF 1907. We said causes; but
there were a great many causes.
many of which are more properly
termed conditions; still, in a certain
sense, they were causes. he unprc-
ccdented rise in prices led TO specu-
lation, and which is the more I'M
portant in its effects upon the pres
cnt situation. TO an unwise borrowing
OF money, as a result OF the expansion
OF business caused by this rise IN
