WEEKS.

From the New York Commercial. Sept.
II, 1917.
Each week is more suspicious than
Its predecessor in the suspicious prom
ise of a great business year. This
implies according to the laws of trade
chances several to succeed 1t. With
immense uniform crops as a founda-
ton, accompanied by conditions in the
Old World much less favorable, 1t
gives this country a place of vantage
which 1t has rarely II 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 it's
.rumps to accommodate adequately
the immense throngs Of business Wis
ltors. No city Is better supplied with
such sources of hospitality, but they
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
c~onjoin with the sanguine outlook that
pervades the whole country.
While all the activities of trade are
notable now they will be vastly more
so in a few weeks.

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

From the Freeport, ILL.,. Standard. Sept.
II. 1912.
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 clearings are
a development of present activity and
b~uoyancy. Clearings in August gain
ed 4.6 per cent over last year. while
during this week they increased 1913
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
a gain of 6.S per cent. owe 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 1872, 900, 900 greater than
a 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.

From the Buffalo, N. Y. Inquirer.

It's latest announcement reports bum

spring wheat, oats, rye and buck

Business agencies report booming
iron and steel trade, strong demand

of commercial failures.
The most novel sign Of prosperity,
however, Is recorded by Chief John
e. Wilkie of the United States secret
service. Whenever work is plentiful
and employment easily obtainable,"
says Chief Wilkie, 'crime Is less, and
this rule, which has been demon
strated by years of experience, ap-
plies as much to counterfeiting as to
other offenses against the law"
As a general proposition easy times
are the times freest of crime, indicat-
ing that distress Is the cause OF much

HAPPY FARMERS
They Have Every Cause for Joy IN
the Next Thanksgiving Day.

From the Detroit Free Press. Sept. l..
1911.
A m~arvelously fortunate year is this
Of 1912 for this land Of ours. The
government crop report yesterday re-
news once more the proof that all
things are uniting for the welfare of
Americans. 1t Is an amazing show
ing. 10000, 900 bushels of spring
wheat being reported as in sight,
where last year the yield was only
1901 900 bushels, and the year be-
wheat, which in spite of the soft wheat
losses in our W section of the coun-
try, will still pass the 1911 mark, the
total yield Of this grain will run well
above zoe, 000, 600 bushels, and If pri-
vate advices are reliable, even above
800, 000, 900 bushels.
We have had but two years in the
past when the 700, 100000 mark was
passed, 1906 and 1901, and the outlook
is that the return per bushel for the
harvest now available will exceed that

practically assured of reaching record
figures. Corn, potatoes, barley, rye
and some others are already In the
class Of bumper yields. The indica-
lions amount to assurance that they
will all exceed any previous aggre-
gate.
While the American fields are TEEN
ing with their produce across the
is heard the cry of distress.
Cold weather and prolonged rainfall
have played havoc there. The land
Is sodden and unfruitful. What crops
have grown are drowning in flood.
The American farmer, with his barns
bullying with the yield Of his acres.
will get big prices for his big stock
of food supplies.
A bountiful harvest and a strong
demand should make the farmer of
this country a happy mar on Thanks

BANKS SHOW PROSPERITY.

From the Beloit,s Wis, Free Press. Sep
TENDER II. 1912.
Bank deposits are a sure indicator
of prosperity in a city, and on this
point Beloit banks show a steady in
crease and this city on this
compares most favOrably with the
outside world. Total deposits In the
four banks according to the current
statements aggregate $4,348, 1856, OF
which 81 1863. 371.14 represent the saw
ings of the people. Rockford with
three times the population has little
more than double the amount Of
money on deposit in her seven banks.
Figuring Beloit's population at $4,000.
which is probably conservative. the
per capita deposits in the banks
amount to $2.41h, which Is . pretty
good showing.

DISTORTED VIEWS OF LIFE
Minister Gives Reason for 5000 Sui

Chicago, Sept. 23.-"There are six
thousand suicides in the United States

life,'' said Rev. Edward A. Marshall
of the Moody Bible Institute in q SER

church.
NO person commits suicide the
first time he thinks OF it." said DR..
Marshall. They all shudder from it
at first.
Every suicide has the wrong view

standards, whether it be Count Nogi
committing the long honored harakiri
In Japan or the wretched outcast wom-
an who drinks poison In the brothel.
