Great Activity in the West

Business activity is greatly in evil dleton of Chicago.
 Tn some of the states people are talking freely of a boom and compared with stagnant conditions which had been experienced in many localities the word boom is perhaps not too strong. The immense grain crops and the high prices which they are bring ing account for the sudden burst of prosperity.
 T was in Seattle about two weeks ago. and found that city was very pros porous, indeed Two years ago it seemed greatly depressed Real estate specu- lation had been overdone and the lum Der business which was one of Seattle mainstays was extremely dull It is very different in Seattle now, Every body is busy and everybody is confi- dent that an era of great prosperity has set in. A friend who was in San Francisco in October tells me that that city was never so progressive as it has been within the last few months, and as California has vast wine interests ! the crushing defeat of statewide prohi- , bition last Tuesday will naturally help all lines of business in Pacific coast cities.
 Tn Chicago there is great deal of business prosperity, and we are ex- pecting to see a large volume of trade between now and Christmas.'

Re.uming Normal Condition.


 Henry Clews, in his Saturday review, says in part:
 Events of the week were generally of favorable character. So much so that had the stock exchange been opened there would doubtless have been reflected a sharp rise in security values.
 "The monetary situation also shows steady improvement and a progressive re- adjustment to war conditions. The sur plus reserve of the clearing house banks show a steady increase. having risen last week to nearly sls,O0oOOO, compared with deficit for the week of August of $4s, ,0oOo0O. the low water mark. This is gain of $61, 900. Clearing house cer- tifcates are being gradually retired, and considerable sums of the vreeand emerg- enry notes have also been withdrawn in anticipation of the early opening of the federal reserve banks, which in due tims will largely increase the supply of loan able funds. There is no longer any ap. prehension' regarding the monetary flu ture. Credit is gradually tending to re- sume normal conditions, and ere lone business will have completely adjusted itself to war conditions and will go or much as usual. The position of foreigr exchange is still somewhat abnorma though constantly improving. The supply of bills during the past week has not beer quite so liberal as in the two previous weeks Nevertheless our exports con tinue on a very large scale owing to thu heavy shipments of foodstuffs. cotton war material. etc. New York practically dominates the foreign exchanges for thu time being, and it's financial relations witt | foreign countries are being strengthened daily. England Is no longer pressing fol a settlement of our obligations for thu reason that funds in that center are abun dant and the former pressure for gold ex ports from this side has materially sub sided.
 1 ''The tendency toward revival in do nestle business is more pronounced thai at any time since the war. This of cours is mainly due to improvement in the credi situation. The demand for our wheat an, cotton has been a very important factor | A number of our local industries are als' being helped by the foreign demand fo war material. which promises to increas for sometime to come. Perhaps the mos significant development Is the more hope full tone in the steel trade

Wells Fame Spreading

Col. Marcus Wells election forecasts are attracting attention outside the state of Alabama and his name has been whispered in New York as a forecaster of note. Colonel Well was displaying with considerable pride yesterday aft ernoon copy of the New York Herald of November which had the following to say about his forecast:
 Viewed in the solid light of the re- turns the forecast of Marcus Veil of Birmingham is of interest as showing a remarkably accurate analysis of the political situation nationally. Mr. Well. whose figures were received before the publication of the Herald forecast and were printed with it predicted the cleo ton of 22S democratic congressman, 203 republican and progressive. The Herald predicted the election of 227 demorcatic congressman, 2o3 republican and progressive. Revised returns last evening indicate the election of 225 dem ocratic congressman, POP republicans. progressive and one socialist"
 The actual result is 229 democrats. 208 republicans and progressives.

SUBMARINES


stroyed in the present war have
been sunk by German subm ar
lnes-the English armored cruis-
ers Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue.
All were of $4,000 tons displace-
ment. The Cressy was commits
stoned In 1901 and the Aboukir
and Hogue in 1902. In compare
son with the modern dread
noughts these vessels may be
considered obsolete, but they
probably were of good service
for the work to which they we're
misunderstanding in the North
sea-and would have been able
to do great execution in battle
with even the most up-to-date
cruisers short OF the battle cruis-
ers of the dreadnought type.
At least tive warships have
been sunk by submarines in this
war. The submarine, therefore.
must be credited with the best
record for efficiency up to date.
The first thorough test of the
submarine craft has absolutely
demonstrated that they are one
OF the most effective weapons of
naval warfare and undoubtedly
more attention will be paid to
them in the naval programmes OF
the various Governments, says
the Salt Lake Tribune. They are
particularly adapted to the kind
OF naval operations which Ger
many is conducting against Eng
land, in strict conformity with
the advice of experts prior to the
war. The object is to wear down
the British navy by a sort Of
guerrilla warfare until such time
