Business Conditions Encouraging.

That the great war in Europe should have
affected business conditions In all parts of the
world was to have been expected This Govern
inent was more responsible for these inter-
ferences with normal trade conditions than 1t
was responsible for the itself. and may
congratulate ourselves that the consequences to
Us have not been more serious In fact, while
certain lines of trade have been greatly ham,
pered and depressed. the conditions in this
country all things considered. are most crafty
Ing Banking institutions reflect the business
pulse of the country and almost everywhere
the banks show increased business and profits
The following statement of business conditions
in Richmond may be accepted as fairly repre-
sentative Of business conditions throughout the
country;
There was an increase in 1914 over 1918 m
capital employed in manufacturing OF s3s5.e27
There was AN increase of thirty in the number
OF manufacturing plants.
There an increase of s1s.9e6 in the
amount of capital employed in the iobbing bus
mess, and an increase Of s174,S29 In the annual
sales
There was an increase of s2.42s,6Se in bank
clearances
Deeds Of bargain and sale In real estate
amounted to 100000.
In some respects, conditions were not so
favorable. but the above shows that the coun-
try-at least that part OF it-has not suffered
serious damage.
Az Ia always the case the country has suf-
fered more from "panicky' condition than
from anything else This condition shows i'm
provement. and much better times seem near
at hand.-Fairfax Herald.
