FRIGHTENING WEEKS.

From the New York Commercial. Sept.
u.1s11
Each week Is more suspicious than
it's predecessor In the auspicious prom
Use OF a great business year. This
implies according to the laws Of trade
chances several to succeed 1t. With
immense uniform crops as founda-
ton. accompanied by conditions in the
Old World much less favorable, 1t
gives this country place of vantage
which 1t has rarely IL ever expert
enced, so concurrently do the general
facts at home and abroad run In our
favor.
A significant fact Is that New York
for the last week has been put to its
trumps to accommodate adequately
the immense throngs OF business Wis
itors. No city In better supplied with
such resources Of hospitality, but lhey
have been strained to the uttermost
since the middle OF August. There Is
nothing In the capacity OF our trans
portation lines which does not fully
conjoin with the sanguine outlook that
pervades the whole country.
While all the activities OF trade are
notable now they will be vastly more

HAPPY FARMERS

From the Detroit Free Press, Sept Il.
1917
A marvelously fortunate year is this
of 1912 for this land of ours. The

fore 200.000,000 Added to the winter
wheat. which In spite of the soft wheat
losses In our own section Of the coun-
try, will still pass the 1911 mark, the
total yield OF this grain will run well
above 700,000,000 bushels, and II pri-
vate adyices are reliable, even above
100000. 900 bushels
We have had but two years in the
past when the 7O0,OOO.OO0 mark was
passed. 1905 and 1901, and the outlook
Is that the return per bushel for the
harvest now available will exceed that

Nor is wheat the only crop that Is
practically assured OF reaching record
figures. Corn. potatoes, barley, rye

BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD
Dun's Trade Report Gives Encour
agement for all Lines of Business.

From the FreepOrt, ILL.,, Standard. Sept.
Dun's trade report for the past
week gives encouragement for all
lines of business crops and manu-
featuring enterprises. In part the
report says:
Continuous advance In trade activ-
ity Is the tenor Of the reports from
the principal manufacturing and dis
tributing centers last week. The ad-
vance Is both in actual volume of
transactions and in that confidence
which Is the basis of healthy bust.
ness.
The big August bank cIearings are
development of present activity and
buoyancy. Clearings in August gain
ed 4.6 per cent. over last year. while
during this week they Increased 10.5
per cent. over 1911 and 17.6 per cent
over 1910. The evidence of these
clearings Is confirmed by the current
railroad gross earnings, which show
8 gain Of 6.S per cent. over 1911.
Rates of money are hardening In all
parts of the world, a plain response
to the greater movements Of trade
and commerce and the bigger de-
mands Of new enterprises. The in
| creased confidence In the financial
markets is illustrated by the fact
| that the August output of new Sc
| curities and shOrt-term notes in this
country was 100000 greater than
year ago. The remarkable consump-
ton of iron and copper products con-
tinues to the point of actual capacity,
and all the principal industries show
satisfactory activity.
