the country, and the Improbable rates
realized on loans as compared with the
returns on the highest grade of stocks
and bonds is causing institutions in
increasing numbers to turn to the secu-
rites markets as the best channel for
the employment of their idle cash.
They are competing with private in
vestors for the limited offerings of is
sues and the result is that prices are
steadily advancing. Sentiment in finan-
cial circles is decidedly more opti-
mistic The market is steadily broad
ening and the trend of prices is up
ward Many issues in the investment
market are still on the bargain coun-
ter, and if discriminating purchases
are made at the present level they Will
show substantial profits in the near
future Those who have reputation
for their ability to correctly diagnose
market conditions say that the pros
poets for the continuance and even the
increase of dividends was never better
than at present, and that while such
conditions exist we may expect the
continuance of bull market.
Trade barometers continue to rise
and are apparently headed for much
higher levels. Bank clearings and rail-
road earnings have been renectlng the
greatly increased volume OF domestic
trade. The report Of the department of
Of commerce for the month of october
sets new high record in exports and
in the excess of exports over imports.
The latter was no less than $780,
900, 900, and makes the excess of eX-
ports over imports for the year ending
October 26,SS6,62S. compared with
s26O433 in the preceding period, an
increase of 500 per cent. These figures
are not dry statistics, but are an elo-
auent expression of the activities OF
American commercial leaders since the
war broke out last year. They prove
beyond a doubt that America refuses
to be thrust into panic and gloom even
in the face of an almost worldwide
cataclysm Instead of depression, we
have laid the foundations for lasting
prosperity. w. 5. COUSINS.
