er chose and called after the name Of
his hero.

probability witness an actively fought
if not, indeed, a very exciting prcsi-
dental campaign, efforts by both the
party i'll power and that in opposition

the effects upon consumption of short

that under existing conditions neither

Domestic trade was large but not of

qucnt rather than large orders were
the rule Business was therefore,
perhaps, less probably carried on.
Basic conditions appeared sound, how

credits were not apparently overex-
tended. Collections were made rather
slowly, city payments being easier
than those from the country; but ex-
cept i'll parts OF the northwest where
past crops had been deficient, and
from the south, where low priced cot
purchases and payments, no real con-
Germ seemed visible. Wet or mild
weather retarded retail trade in De-
cember. but holiday trade was of good
volume.
Commodity prices Justly came in
for blame as hampering some indus
tries. Thus, high-priced cotton and
failure to place goods made there
from caused much short time from
January well into September. Later,
uncertainty as to the extent of the

to sell iron and steel were not crown

acted promptly, and although the rail-

the year, their purchases of cars and

years, but still expenditures bulked
large in the years operations. For

ports especially were helped early by
lower prices for foods, and European
markets were reopened to our cereal
and meats, while iron and steel and
cotton also swelled the balance of
TRADE in this ,country's favor. Later
on low prices for cotton reduced the
favorable balance slightly. Imports
despite reduced purchases manu-
(facturers materials, were only shade
below the 1910 record. Labor came
through the year quite well, reduc-
tons in working time rather than in
wages being paid being the chief char
acteristic. The number of strikes and
