NO APPRECIABLE
Loss OF GROUND
Year Just Closed has Been One
of Reasonable Ac-
tivIty.
lspeeial to The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. ]

Especial TO The mes Dispatch.l
New York, December 3p.--Accoruing
TO Il. q. Dun a. Co.'S annual review
of trade conditions in the United States,
published to-day, the year 1911,
measured by bank clcarings and rail-
road earnings, was under that of 1910.
This reduction was so slight, however,
that it did not indicate any apprc-
clablc loss of ground. The transact
tons, as a whole. were OF such pro-
portion az to show that the people
were living we'll. The review says:
"'rhc year Just closed was one OF
reasonable activity for a year in which
great economic questions were the sub
jcct of controversy at home, and in
tcrnational disorders disturbed the
peace of Europe, tending to unscttlc
the international money market. Dc
spite these unsettled conditions inter
national trade was of more than fair
proportions and foreign commerce was
notably larger than in any preceding
year.
Consumption however. was not
equal to productive capacity, in some
instances being far below it. and yet
labor was employed at good wages
Tho loudcSt complaints came from
Invested capital, TO the effect that OK
ccsstrc uncertainties made 1t impoS
siblc to enter into large new enter
priscs. Nevertheless, dividend and in
terest payments during the year make
an aggregate in excess of other years
The most notable event OF 1911, from
the standpoint of national welfare, was
the enormous cotton crop, believed to
exceed 100000 bales: the bcnefcicnt
effect of this can hardly be ovcrcsti-
mated
ALREADY the magnitude OF the crop
is serving 90 bring about more norma
conditions In the long depressed cotton
goods trade. which IS now manifest
in& many signs of revival
The grain crops were reduced in
quantity. but were Of greater value
ttln those of 1910.
Tile sudden revival in the iron and
stce! trade during the last three
months overshadows in Importance the
preceding depression, especially as l,
was brought about by the Significant
buying of, equipment by leading rail-
, roads There was also Il late but pro
nounccd Improvement in copner
The foreign trade was OF remark
able dimensions and especially notable
Tor the growth OF exports. This con-
tributcd nightly TO the strength O!
the United States IN international
| money markets There was also re-
huction in the aggregate Liabilities oil
dcfanlting concerns. This demonstrate

Of changes brought about by new con-
diiions.
1t Is noteworthy that the last three
months were the best of the ycar--a
proof of improving tons Tho

corner, Ark, the preliminary work is on, we we are going to develop Arkansas, the diamond experts are here from the jung les of Africa. The last congress of the United States, removed the duty on diamond machinery from England, and we are now able to purchase the required machinery from England. I am here yet, 1 am happy to say. Brother Phillips and Green are here to develop the gas and oil.
 As a timber country, Arkansas is unsurpassed, 1 hope in the near future we can say the same as to oil and gas. 1 have a small farm, as good as we have on up- lands in this State. and I do like all the other farmers-I do the demonstration work, and the women and children do the bal lance the only difference be- tween us and the Government Demonstrators is, that they get pay from the government, and we get a little truck-patch stuff. l board with Mrs. Emma Hol- loran and Mrs. Black, and 1 am constantly confronted with litera- ture from the prospectors com- ing in here, this literature gives a glowing description of our old State. It tells us that we need a different class of people. We are raising fifty or sixty bushels of corn to the acre, and other things in proportion, without fertilizer, soil, rain, or work, and with little extertion on the part of the farmer, we would all be rich in a few years. find that 1 am in a country where we have such resources.
 Did you know that we are now being threatened with another great political revolution. it is confined to the different Labor Trades, and other Unions. They claim they are going to change their politics. 1 happened to read up on such things, the great massess of people never tried to do anything for them selves they talk too much, and take no action. You take these Labor Organizations up North, who say their poverty is due to the National Banking system. the Manufacturers Association, created by the Democrats and Did you know, that these Calamity Howlers won't change bosses of the two old parties pay no attention to them.
