NEW CENTER OF PROSPERITY.

NEW CENTER OF PROSPERITY.
Has the center of prosperity over.
taken and overlapped the center of
population in its westward trend? Or
is the check to activity noticeable only
in the east of temporary character?
Various reasons are assigned for the
falling of in bank clearings in New
York and other eastern money centers,
while at the same time increases arc
reported from western and southern
points in sufficient volume to bring the
total above the corresponding dates Of
last year. Dismissing the explana-
tions, which do not explain, together
with others which are contradictory,
there are left for consideration two or
three things which undeniably are
among the factors that have brought
about the anomalous result that de.
preston exists in the east in face of
increasing prosperity west and south.
One Of the obvious reasons why the
east is falling behind is the heavy de.
crease in exports, which affects the
earnings Of the railroads hauling them
and the banks that financed them.
While the east last year was falling
hundreds Of millions behind the high
point, the southern ports were actually
gaining over the previous year.
The drift of speculation away from
the east has much to do with the de-.
crease in hank cIearings and telegraph
business. The public is tired Of the
game for one thing. and then it was
found more profitable to put money in
western farm lands and mortgages than
in stocks. Thus, the western banks
are turning their money over at a rate
rarely experienced, while the New
York hanks are worrying over the
slack demand for funds to move the
crops, not fully realizing as yet that
the crops do not move that way "a of
yore.
While the decrease in exports and
the slump in speculation are probably
only temporary, and the east may
regain all or more than it has lost
from these two causes. more doubt
attaches TO the third and principal
factor in the equation. This is the
higher cost of living. 1t cuts into the
casts prosperity both ways, reducing
its buying power and causing lessen.
ing demand for its manufactured pro-
ducts. All that the west has gained
from inflated prices for foodstuas has
come out Of the pockets Of the eastern
consumers, while the economies prac.
ticed on account Of the high priced
necessities have paralyzed eastern in.
dustries to a point not equalIed in
recent years. Before the east can
rally from its present condition the
prices of raw cotton and foOdstufis
must come down materially, aud there
is no sign that these changes are at
hand.-Wsshington Post.

Even though there is a prospect of
the strike of the Illinois coal miners
coming to an end by reason of weaken
ing among the operators who are ready
to make terms with the unions, Gary
coal dealers see no drop in coal prices
as a result.
Consumer Pays The Bill.
While the strike may possibly end
very soon,'' said President william
Dalton of the company that bears his
name, this morning. The shortage in
coal in Chicago is already 10000, 900
tons and that will serve TO keep up
prices. The wholesalers have tackled
and of course that means that the con-
sumner pays it"
Mr. Dalton stated that he did not
think that anthracite would advance
any further than its present price of
$500 for which the people should be
thankful. The Broadway coal magnate
also sees Hooking Valley leaping with
startling avidity from $3.50 to 1915 and
some changes for higher up are to be
expected in the rest. OF the situation
in Illinois this mornings Chicago

Several ballots were taken yester-
day at a stormy session of the, Illinois

IN which much oratory was expended

At the close. President A. J. Moors
head of the association asserted that
no vote was taken on the proposition
of accepting or rejecting the Peoria

wavering in their loyalty to the asso-
citation and are ready to sign up with

denied by the operators, who declared

The principal disputes are over the
mining rates at the Ellisyiile mines,
differentials of cents a ton in the
