These two metals are satisfac-
tory barometers for the ordinary
business man, but business leaders
look also to the crop and financial
statistics in addition to the metal
market"
What are the prospects of the
crop and the money outlook?'
ITS a bit early to form an accu-
rate opinion regarding the crops
Owing to the high prices that have
been obtained by farmers for sew
eral seasons past there has been q
great extension in acreage for all
crops. Should We get fairly nor
nal weather conditions the crops
should turn out WELL under these
conditions, with a continuance of
high prices. the country will benefit
enormously in wealth, which will
be used in prolonging the boom.
with regard to money, it has a
hardening tendency at the present
time in sympathy with a similar
tendency in Europe.
This condition will be overcome
this spring, and we should expect
easy money to rule until the end of
the year"
What effects have the political
uncertainty at Washington, the con-
servation discussion, the exposure
of political graft in various parts of
the country and the revealed mis-

ties, agrees with James J. Hill, who
says that this country, before au-
tumn arrives, will be flooded with
a prosperity that will fairly swamp
the railroads.
What is the most marked sign
of prosperity you see now?' | asked
DR.. Brown, during an interview.
The activity in steel. Business
moves in cycles. There is regular
period of progress between a panic
and a boom. business invariably
follows the same course. After a
period of depression the demand for
steel and iron products is always
most urgent The iron market of
the United States in the past few
months has been very active. and
may exceed the records of 1907.
After the movement in steel,
business men generally watch the
movement in copper. Throughout
last year there was very large ac-
emulation of copper. During the
present year stocks have been
worked off. And at present they
amount to only about two months

doings of trusts on business"
I'VE are cleaning up these sores
and the getting ready to start out
new and fresh. Their effects are
purely temporary. Business is not
dependent upon purely local condi-
tons. The big swings in business
are worldwide in extent. We never
lind business in a healthy condition
in an isolated country. But, when
ever business has been booming in
any specific country-say, for in
stance, the United States-we will
find that similar conditions exist in
all the leading countries associated
with the United States in interna-
tional trade.
AT the present moment, business
in the far orient is rapidly reviving,
and the prospects are that there
will be a greater boom during the
next two or three years than the
orient has ever before witnessed.
India has had succession of good
harveSts. China is undertaking the
construction of very important pub

lie works throughout the empire.
Japan is developing Formosa, Man
churia and Korea on large scale.
The rubber boom in England during
the past six months has led to the
formation of a large number of new
corporations to grow rubber in the
East Indies. This, in turn, has led
to a boom in land values in the
Indies and has greatly increased
business.
THE result of these movements
will be reflected in very great de-
mand for western goods. The
United States will share with Eu-
rope in this increase in trade and
the effects of this great buying will
override any depressing effects of
local politics or trade in the
United States"

IN New York there are 100000

in New York is less than So a week.
For a girl with any refinement and
