GENERAL BUSINESS PROSPECTS.

Further improvement appears in the
financial markets, and altho the area of
war is extended. important progress has
been made in restoring order out of the
recent chaos in international exchanges
That the movement of trade is still
greatly retarded is shown by the de-.
'creases in bank clearings, railroad earn
ings and iron and steel output: but the
situation it clearly much better than
these statistics indicate.
AN immense expansion is daily made
IN exports: surplus in bank reserves
mas been restored; emergency currency
is being steadily retired. and n notably
widening demand for investment secur
tiles has set in. The British moratorium
expired last week
The cotton pool is practically sinh
scirbed, and the embargo on imports of
dyestuHs has been lifted by Germany.
Negotiations with representatives of the
british treasury make it possible to
further restrict the outflow of gold The
ieueral reserve banks are to open in
about one week and the New York cot
ton exchange probably in two weeks.
Proofs accumulate daily that natural
forces. combined with the wisdom of
business leaders, are enabling the coun-
try 10 deal effectively with the new and
difficult problems created by war. and
thus renewed op-i-,,;e,,, ~,
asserting themselves.
While the iron and steel output is At
q low point, the feeling in this Industry
IS brighter and the outlook for the flu
ture is considered better.
Conditions in the textile markets are
also improved. and while the chief
activities are il those lines for which
4 war demand exists there is a broader
distribution in other departments.
Large orders continue to be placed for
Shoes for foreign army use. Hides are
advancing.
This grain trade IS Irregular. but the
urgent foreign requirements are the
controlling force; and the exports OF
wheat constitute the most striking ele-
ment in the remarkable increase in
foreign trade, which during the month
Of October is estimated. all told. to have
created total balance in favor of this
country OF fully ssooOoooo.
While the leading cereals, as well as
cotton. gained IN price, the general trend
of commodities was again downward, As
declines and 80 advances appearing this
week in the S1s quotations compiled by

Commercial failures last month were
more numerous than in preceding years

smoke lifts that a very considerable
number Of democrats were not in sym

the facts that the democrats in the
assembly supported capitol extension.

democratic candidates were much
embarrassed and in a few cases de-
feated for reelection by the Hamil-

pudiates the issue as AN individual
issue asserting that it was a Hanil-
ton campaign and that the democratic
organization in the state had nothing 70

Tribune declares that the democracy
Of Iowa is for Greater Iowa and is
willing TO make an investment OF
money to make Iowa greater and
richer; is willing TO spend some money

ton and was one Of the early ones to
discover the shortcomings If the Will
son administration II was the sena-
tors strong anti-monopoly reputation
which pulled him thru The argument
that It was necessary 20 elect Mr..
Connolly. in order to indorse the presi-
dent had no weight. The senator was
surprised when he returned to Iowa
TO find so many republicans were
thinking Wilson was making great
president. He discovered that this
opinion rested almost entirely on the
outcome of the Mexican situation by
which at present war is avoided. The
people had not considered the president
beyond the Mexican situation. They
had not considered the establish
ment of the spoils system. The sena-
tors first campaign speeches made his
position in regard to the administra-
ton and his opposition clear and dis
tinct. He said the president was not
entitled to republican popularity. Some
of his friends thought he ought to
have fiattered Wilson and claimed to
have been strong Wilson man. But
the senator took the drawer course.
In personal sense ne is receiving
many congratulations; in n political
sense. those who are not intimate with
him personally are feeling comfort
able over the result. The senator will
go back TO that great legislative body

embankment at the approach to the
bridge which was close at hand.
