and many important new issues are
anticipated early during the coming
year. The new issues in the United
States for the eleven months of 1917
amounted to about s2,091 ,o00. 900,
compared with $3.50. 900 900 a year
ago. OF this total s1.e3o, 537. 900 rep
resented new railroad issues, which
was SIS. 100000 less than last year,
while the industrials figured at ST.
06o. 559, 900 for new issues, or more
than szS6, 900 900 in excess of a year
ago. The contrast between the in
crease in railroad Issues and indus
trial issues is highly significant.
Doubtless. the increased cost of liv-
ing has had an effect upon interest
rates, because those with fixed in
comes have been obliged to exchange
their old securities for those paying
higher returns. The result has been
to depress bonds, especially gild-edg-
ed issues which paid low rates;
while stocks, particularly high grac.
preferred industrials. have been free
" sought after by discriminating buy
ers. These conditions have operated
somewhat adversely 10 railroad secur-

Worldwide Activity.

The United States is not alone in
its enjoyment OF Industrial activity.
England is experiencing the highes,

spite Of social and Industrial unrest
similar to what exists in the United
States. Germany has also had anoth-

great nations appear 20 be having a
good share OF activity France, Rus.
STA, Italy and even India and China.
Among the smaller and newer sta.es
there has also been great expansion,
particularly in Canada, Argentina and
Africa. There is in fact a great tide
of development sweeping over the
whole world with a force and spon-
taneity beyond precedent. I. can only
be accounted for by the general pro-
gress of civilization, by the opera

The finance committee Of the board
Of supervisors today made arrange
ments with the banks of Rock Island

that they are in the hands Of the coun-
ty clerk before the week Is out.
