Opportunities for acquiring good lands

PROSPERITY UNHARMED
Optimism Continues in the country's
Trade and Industrial
Centers.

New York, Nov. 11.-R. G. Dun and
company Review of Trade says:
With the Balkan situation less men,
acing the worlds peace still serious,
and with the uncertainties of the ma
tional election ut an end the outlook
is improved. This is reflected in the
increased buoyancy of the financial
markets and in the continued expan-
sion of trade and industry. Every de-
partment of business experiences the
uplift and expansion which result, first
from tremendous crops, and, second,
from the restored confidence and cred
it.
Bradstreet's says:
The presidential election has come
and gone with the barest possible ap-
parent effect upon trade and industry.
Neither the election itself nor it's re-.
suits, sweeping as they were, have
thus far changed the optimistic
undertone previously characterizing
trade sentiment, the situation in this
respect presenting one Of the most
notable economic phenomena of re-
cent times. In short, natural condi-
tions coincident with heavy crop yields
and consequent heavy consumptive re-
quirements continue predominant in
trade and Industrial circles.
