BRIGHTER BUSINESS SKIES.

That the business and financial
skies are taking on brighter hue
is found in a dispatch from Wash
ington, which says that officials OF
the various government departments
which touch the country's business
activities feel confident that the
most serious effects of the Euro
pean war on American business have
passed. The restoration of the credit
balance with Europe has greatly
eased the situation, the increasing
demand by Europe for American
food supplies and also the sudden
development of an abnormal trade
in articles needed by the huge arm
les in the field aiding TO that end.
No accurate figures on the contracts
Of the latter character are obtain
able. but orders for horses, mules,
army clothing, harness and the like
have aided factories and stockmen
in some districts. II is said that in
Guiding ammunition orders, this bust
ness reaches the huge total of more
than s4OO,O06,0OO. In several lines
factories are straining to highest CO.
pncity to meet the demands.
