Trade Letter for November Says Nor
NAL business May BE Expected
by First of Hcnr,

This country is on the eve of busi-
ness development which cannot fail to
make the United States a greater fnan-
cial and commercial power. according
to the general letter .on trade condi-
tons fol November, which is being
sent out by the American National
Bank. of Richmond.
The letter predicts that the adjourn
mcnt of Congress will have the usual
effect of giving an Impetus to bust
ness, but forecasts that the effect will
be much less than would have been the
case had Congress adjourned previous
to the outbreak of the European war.
while the war affects every industry
and every line unfavorably In some re-
spects, says the letter. ut presents
an unusual opportunity for the increase
of American manufactures. 1t has
been authoritatively stated that 10 per
cent of the manufactured goods which
we are accustomed to import can be
made in America, and tho opening OF
occur between now and December -,
will make 1t somewhat easier to
finance this increased output of some
of our factories, as well as the neces-
sary establishment of some new in
dustries"
The letter predicts that from this
time on most lines of business will
show improvement, partly because of
the war, and partly because business
depression has lasted as long n il can
1T is predicted that business will re-
turn to normal by the beginning of the
new year.
