TIMES NOT HARD NOTWITHSTANDING
WALL STREET.

1t is true that in Wall Street values are low.
A thousand and for this financial
depression have been given. The explanation
most current because most persistently urged
by certain individuals and interests, is that the
agitation against trusts is unsettling business
conditions and likely to precipitate general
and destructive panic. We have repeatedly
urged that this plea be taken with a good sized
grain OF salt AS IL issues from the mouths
of those whose connection with the corpora
tons under investigation or liable TO be inves-
tgated is so well known. 1t is suspicious
fact that the very whose interests are
most affected by the revolt against trust me-
thods they who have grown hoarse in warn
ing the public that the foundations of CONNER
cial confidence and prosperity being under
mined Samson shorn of his locks is wailng
because he has lost his strength
The GrcenpiHc PIEDMONT quotes Mr.. Henry
Clewes, widely known financial expert, as
saying that the recent decline in values has
put the market upon safer and sounder basis,
and the Buffalo Times. analyzing the govern
ment crop reports for October thinks that in
The corn crop for the year is 2.7s2 $4,000
bushels. an average yield of "a bushels to the
acre, and the largest crop of any year in the
history of the country, with the exception of
the years 1906 and 1910
The estimate of the winter wheat crop is
over FIVE million bushels higher than the ave-
rage for the last five years.
The apple crop is 59.s per cent. of what the
department of agriculture calls normal crop,
as against 5o,4 per cent of the last ten years
average.
The writer quotes distinguished authority
as saying that the cotton crop will be an ex-
cellent average yield
The article calls attention TO the fact that
railroad earnings increased In September that
the dividends of industrial and public service
New York bank cenngs were heavier in
August of this year than of last, and. outside
Of New York heavier than for any preceding
August. and that the foreign trade situation
is strong and building activities ahead of
1910
All of which tends to confirm our conviction
that the cry Of hard times and panic is mere
scarecrow constructed by interests already
panic stricken and designed to brighten off the
forces at work for the reformation Of business
conditions in the country.
