Hope for Good Resultk
Business men are hoping for good
results from the Investigations and
labors Of the federal trade commission,
and expect that its labors will result
in more aid to and less criticism Of
business than has been the rule with
governmental commissions of various
characters and activities in years past.
Friends Of the commission are Of the
opinion that 1t will be extremely use
full, and by coming in close touch
with business men all over the country
phere favorable to industrial extension
and lend q friendly hand with good
results.
War Stocks.
Wall street seems in the vortex Of a
Wild speculative movement in war
stocks. Tho unprecedented daily ex-
penditures Of the nations at warfare for
munitions and the wonderful ability to
obtain credit has given to the United
States a positive boom at q time whom
homo industry languished. and even
enormous crops, harvested and matur-

Dividend Outlook Favorable.
Wall street believes that the outlook
for the resumption Of dividends and in
creased payments to stockholders In
various corporations is more favorable
than for quite while. Larger dis
bursements that have been announced
from time to time by companies that
have benefited by war orders are ex-
pected to be followed before a great
while by the declaration of heavier
payments on the part Of iron and steel
and copper, as we'll as by some other
companies. In this connection 1t is re-
ported that the Western Union Tele-
graph dividend Is to be increased from

Company Is expected to raise its quar-

that the directors of the International
