Demand For Exports.

IN LOCAL FINANCIAL CIRCLES

Having adjusted the commercial and
financial machinery of the ountry to
the disturbed conditions precipita:ed
by the European war, the American
business public is looking apprehens-
lively TO the converting tomorrow of the
short session of the Sixty-third Con-
gress.
The great Federal reserve banking
system, recently inaugurated, has in
spired investors with a feeling of Sc
curity, and is already Graduating from
the public mind all fear of future
panics. The New York Stock Exchange,
which, with the other great trade
boards of the world, suspended opera
tons at the declaration Of martial law
III Germany, has. resumed restricted
trading in bonds, and. greatly encour-
aged at the reception with which the
venture met, is preparing plans which
will permit restricted trading in stocks.
These developments have done much
TO restore general confidence and TO en-
courage those with resources to take
advantage Of the period Of prosperity
on which the nation is apparently en-
tering. The only questions now being
asked-the most seriously deterrent
factor among capitalists-is, VIII there
be further batting of big business by
Congress? VIII the Administration
rest content with its achieved program
of regulation of industry?
The principal work before Congress
between December z and its adjourn
ment on March 4, next. viii be the en-
actment of the appropriation bills, the
measures which provide the funds for
the running of the Government. But
