UONFY AND BIZ STNESS.

At no period within the present h@hi-
orv of 6nanciers have there been so
much available money for business pun
poses and so many annoyances ana op-
stacles TO hold in check real buoyancJ
in all lines of trade and industry. from
time TO time contrary forces have tenn
porarily stopped the business progress OF
nations, sometimes singly ana at othe'
times collectively, but in the past. Wheh
the causes have been removed anu
money has adjusted itself TO business
requirements, prosperity has automau-
cally been restored and an era of newer
and greater undertakings has set in.
In the United States, which In l9l-
must be considered "a leading money
power. every ordinary requisite or rapid
business progress is present. There IS
an abundance of money, the country Is

tion. The population Of the United
States IS moro than ninety millions and
its wealth exceeds one hundred and
twenty billions Of dollars, which puts it
in tho position of being the leading
country on the globe In point OF opu-
lence. We have tho people. the business
and tho money, but prosperity Is
