THE FINANCIAL
TRADE REVIEW
Of Old Year Brought
Relief Rather Than
Regret

New York, Jan. 2.-Relief rather
than regret is felt in Wall street at
the passing Of the year 1911 . 1t has
been a year of decided unsettlement
in both finance mad business. Activ-
II" in almost every line has been re-
pressed. Trading on the stock ex-
change dwindled. At no time, how.
ever. were there threats of wide
spread disaster. The condition was
n Of dull suspense rather than Of
actual retrogression. Business was
sound, but the characteristic Ameri-
a vim was lacking.
The memorable feature Of the year,
from the Wall street viewpoint, was
the crisis in the struggle for read
justment Of big business to the re.
quirements of law. In the spring the
United States supreme court rendered
its epoch-making decisions in the
Standard OIL and American Tobacco
cases, e%nunciating the rule of rea-
son." The latter part of the year
witnessed the unprecedented spectacle
o fthe dismemberment Of these huge
corporations. The movement was
carried further by the filing Of the
suit for the dissolution of the United
States Steel corporation and by pro-
ceedings against several smaller com.
binations which the government con.
tended were operating in restraint of
trade.
In other occurrences there were
evidences of the tendency toward
more rigid control Of large business
interests by the government. Early

GOOD TO FR0DGER
Mandan Young Man Who Is
In the Game Declares
He Likes the Work

of AWAITING" SAL said Co c. B. Prodger Of
Mandan, N. D., this is much easier
than all h Q tape and initiation
that you go through to enroll in an
aviation school.
II was under the impression that
signing a formal contract and paying
course without delay. On the other
hand, before they accepted the tuition
l was informed that it would be neces
sary to stand a medical examination.
This was easy enough, but they surely
make life miserable for a nervous
man.
While walking over the aviation
field with nj of the, instructors dur
ing the time of examination I was sur
in back Of me. On looking around I
saw the smoking barrel Of a 44-caliber
Kentucky shooting .tron. Had l shown
n signs of nervousness my chances
of becoming an aviator at that school
would have been small.
my automobile experience back in
the Dakotas also helped me keep a
cool head when. they. drove several
other prospective students and myself
roads at a speed exceeding all the linn
its of the law.
After a number Of other nerve
testing ordeals. my first opportunity to
feel the sensation of real flying was
presented. 1 climbed up into the seat
of a large S~0-horsepower biplane as a
passenger with the head instructor
and we left the ground at the speed
Of a western cyclone. The three min
utes we were in the air passed so
quickly that I hardly remember draw
ing my breath until we made ,-one
grand dive to the earth.
There is absolutely 10 question in
my mind but that flying is a heap
safer than riding the ponies on ia
theirs ranch back in Montana, and
personally I am sure that it is more
exhilarating."
Mr.. Prodger is accompanied by
r. w. Ross, also Of Mandan. who ac-
cepted a position as sales manager

MARKET LETTER

in the year the interstate commerce
commission rejected h plea. of the
railroads for a wholesale advance Of
freight rates. a decision which caused
an upheaval on the stock. exchange
and led to a feeling of uneasiness on
for a time: Agitation of political
questions having to do with the affairs
of corporations was continued. With a
presidential campaign in the coming
year, there appeared to be little pros
pect thai trust question would be
allowed to slip into the background.
The effect Of this movement was
felt perhaps most keenly in Wall
street. Large new business ventures
were postponed until the promoters
and bankers should be able t fore
see with some degree Of certainty
what were to be the future conditions
under which business was to be- con-
Quoted. The passing needs Of the
country were sufficient to sustain most
lines of trade on a fairly active basis,
but there was little of initiative. In
some lines Of business the production
reached new high records, but in al
most every case 1t was at the expense
OF profits, as prices tended toward
a lower level. Business failures in
creased eight e cent over 1910. In
the closing months of the year there
were signs or q business revival, al.
though they were not sufficiently gem
eral to indicate how far the improve
ment might be expected to extend.
The years crop record showed
something Of the same irreeularity.
Weather conditions were mixed, and
the early promise o unprecedented
cereal crops. on which Wall street
based high hopes, was not borne out.
owing to the drought. There. was a
decrease of five per cent in the value
OF the six cereal crops.
"A bright feature of the year was
the growth of. foreign trade. Exports
increased eleven per cent over the
preceding year. with especially heavy
gains in steel products. Imports fell
III two per. cent. making the balance
Of trade in this country's favor cor.
r~espondingly larger.
The effect of these conditions unon
trading securities was decided. The
volume of business on the stock ex.
change fell. of twenty per cent from
that Of 1910. -"
Money rates were abnormally easy.
The year ended with call o at
four pei cent, and with no sign Of the
customary. year-end furry. This con-
dition was largely due to the restric-
ton OF business. and the
lack OF demand for funds.
