Several Considerations

The unexpectedly great influx of buyers
at New York and other large commercial
certers, who a whole represent the en-
tire United States, has caused in our
banking houses and in the offices of lead
ing business men a good deal of very en-
couraging thinking. They say, first of
all. that the Unexpectedly large demand
for commodities which are within a short
time to be placed upon the shelves and
counters of retail houses throughout the
country is convincing proof that the
business men of the United States are not
at all alarmed about the somewhat de-
pressing crop report
In TIE next place, the presence of these
buyers, who have behind them abundance
of credit and who are inspired with
splendid confidence makes it evident that
there is no real apprehension throughout
the United States lest there be a very
harmful money stringency in the fall.
In the third place. the arrival at the
great commercial centers of thousands of
tuyers-there were housed at one large
hotel in New York one night recently
nearly 2000 persons almost all of whom
were buyers-makes it clear that the eX-
traordinary preparations that were made
by the banks IN the larger financial CEN
ters III the spring for adequately meeting
the exigencies cf the fall have accom-
plished precisely what the bankers hoped
would be ACCOMPLISHED
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-09-06
Urged to Husband Resources

In the mid-spring some of those who
are in charge of the lager financial in
stitutions of the United States spoke IN
words of monition urging that there be
a outstanding of resources, that there be
nc attempt to secure capital for new un-
dertakings until some months had passed.
and that there be no manipulation of a
speculative kind Although these condi-
tions occasioned some criticism. it having
been even charged that the banks were
curtailing credit so that by reason of
stringency they might command larger
profit. nevertheless the monitions were
needed and there came unusual or
heavy demands for funds.
Bankers of this city say that ,he banks
of the financial centers are now abund-
antly able to take care of the demands of
farmers for funds with which TO meet
their crops and the amount of currency
shipped from New York to Chicago in
July and early August tends to prove the
truth of the statement made by leading
bankers of the west that they are abund-
antly supplied with resources with which
to finance the marketing of the crops.
There seems TO be no reason to doubt
that merchants all over the United States
have had good reason for the confidence
they feel that their banks will be able
to meet demands, even those eXtraord1-
narily large, provided these demands are
for legitimate business purposes. The
buying of commodities designed for the
retail market Is regarded as perhaps in
every respect the most legitimate of all
business demands. The retail markets
re represent the ultimate consumer, ard it
is he or his family who provides the funds
with which discounted notes are met at
their maturity and with which. the man
ufacturcr or wholesaler is able to meet his
own obligation.

Regular as Seasons

In the movement of money and currency
from the great financial centers to the
farms of the United States which is a
feature of the late summer and early fall
movement, to be reckoned on each year
as certainly as the autumn equinox, so
also the movement of the buyers of the
United States to the great markets may
with equal accuracy be described as a
seasonal movement. 1t is usually first no.
tlced in New York, and that is probably
true of the other large commercial CEN
ters, about mid-August The buyers have
come tc New York for the last two OF
three weeks in unprecedented numbers.
They have come not merely to wander
inspectingly through the great sample
rooms, but actually to buy. They report
that the stocks of goods in the retail
houses throughout the country have been
eNha usted. Retail merchants have been
careful not to buy any more than is nee
essary for day to day requirements.
There now seems to be a widely spread
confidence that retail business from this
time on until after the holidays is to be
very large. Retailers are certainly buy
ing commodities of all kinds in great
amounts, and all the indications point to
continuation of these purchases per-
maps until mid-fall

First Influx of Buyers Has Been

Market
BY HOLLAND

New York, September ESPECIAL New
York is likely to have within the next
three or four weeks-perhaps longer
proof that cannot be questioned of the
prosperity and healthy condition of busi-
ness throughout the United States. For
there can be no question of the accuracy
of the statement recently made that the
stocks carried by retail houses through
out the United States have for some time
been at a minimum, of the further state
ment that the iowness itself of these
stocks has made inevitable very heavy
demand for the commodities with which
to deplenish the shelves and counters of
the retail dealers throughout the United
States.
st. Louis, Philadelphia and Boston. as
we'll as New York, have noticed within
a few days an increase of buying orders
and decided increase in the number of
those who come from distant parts to
these markets for the purpose of buying
goods.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-09-06
A Great Country


Another thing which the presence of
these buyers has brought to notice, and
OF which frequent mention is made, is
that Notwithstanding tariff and currency
agitation, Notwithstanding politics, busi-
ness and industry of all kinds in the
United States are advancing steadily and
n.a efficiently. It is when great groups
of puvers visit New York or Boston or
philadelphia or Chicago that there does
come a faint realization of the wonderful
cpulence of the United States. Some of
our abest bankers and most successful
business men confess that they are un-
able fully to appreciate the stupendous
prosperity and powe- of the people of the
United States.
1t was observed by one business man to-
day that it is not a chance coincidence
that the influx of buyers from great COM
nercial centers began a. time when a
renewed disposition of capital to invest
| in securities was first observed, and when
| the quotable prices of securities dealt in
| upon the floor of the Stock exchange be-
gan to appreciate. On the very day of
the first influx Of considerable numbers of
buyers the final quotations of securities
dealt in that day on the Stock exchange
| were in almost every instance accom-
panied by the plus mark signifying in
crease That is q circumstance which is
not often observable early in the year.

NEW YORK, June 16.-Money
stringency is having it's effect upon
the stores of butter and eggs. Hold
