business situation as compared with
conditions a year ago. The domestic
shipments from lake ports of the
leading classes of commodities were

plans in sight for the raising of $780,
600, 900 to $40, 900, 900, most of

plants and with untitled orders
amounting to more than 100000
600 already on the books of a few of
the leading companies in the princi-
pal industries, the outlay of cash in
this country in the nexttweIve months
is expected by trade experts to be the
largest yer known in our domestic
trade.
So far as the railroads are con-
cerned, stock market authorities pre-
dict that before the year is out new
securities will be placed on sale that
will bring the total for the twelve
months up to the enormous sum of
$1,000, 100000, and probably ST.
250, 900, thus verifying James J.
Hills prophecy that in good times
this country needs a billion dollars a
year fresh capital for new construc-
ton and improvements.
-Four Companies to
Spend $74, OO0, 600.
A canvass by reporters of the steel
