The reported iupouring during the past
week of war orders, which in volume
exceed any heretofore placed with
American factories by the European
hcllgerents since the outbreak Of strife.
has made the boom" stock market in
augurated ten days ago one of the
greatest that the country has ever wit
messed.
Scenes of frcnzicd trading. unparal-
lcled have occurred as stocks of cor
porations which arc accredited with
orders for supplies running far into mil
lions have risen by leaps and bounds
to levels never before attained. Yester-
day reports were current that the Rus
sian government alone had given to
American factories contracts for shrap-
mel that will total 3lOOOOO.OoO and had
secured them by a $50 100000 deposit with
/, Morgan & Co. of New York.
When. these unconfirmed rumors had
resulted in five days OF million share
dealing on the New York Stock Ex
change. or as many as Occurrcdf in the
whole OF 1872 the last year or "A 'boom
market spectators and investors found
an even more promising indication or re-
turned prosperity in the ANNOUNCEMENT
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany had entered tho market for
500 NN0Cl worth of supplies.
In the past the Pennsylvania has set
the pace for tho other railroad systems
large and small. Consequently, the
dictions yesterday. This action on the
part Of the Pennsylvania company Is
regarded as pointing to significant i'm
provemcnt in the business OF the cor
poration, a condition that must be en-
ioycd to degree at least by the other
ira nspOrt ton lines.
II this be true It will not only mean.
students of the situation say, the plac-
ing OF the stce, mills OF the country,
already engaged with war orders. on a
caracitv basis OF operations. but will
cav for large ore and coal consumption
which in turn VIII result in heavy

Senator Thomas J. Walsh. of Mon
tana. speaking before the Washington
Chamber Of commerce a few tights
ago. enleavored to refute arguments
OF depression and bad business by a
citation of conditions in Montana. Much
of the Improvement that he noted might
be attributed to war prices. but not all
can be so attributed.
The rise in the price of copper metal.
now selling at approximately Il cents,
as compared with an average price Of
T. cents tor several years. will bring
tho speaker said more than 5000. .Oc
excess return to the copper producers
OF Montana. The doubling OF the price
of zinc will add another 10000, he
continued. while wool at 30 cents per
pound, the price for which Western
sheep men are holding. viii swell tho
wealth OF the State by $4,ooO,0Oo.
Other Western states are sharing in
this increased wealth. and its distribu-
ton must continue to improve condi.
tions generally. as much of the money
will be expended for Eastern manufac-
lures.

Crane. Paris & Co. local bankers
In financial letter make the following
comment on the condition of the Lans-
ton Monotype Company. much of the
stock of which Is held in this city:
Shareholders of the Lanston Mono
type Machine Company are awaiting
with interest the forthcoming annual
report Like many other corporations.
the Lanston company has suffered as a
result or the European war. The bust
ness of the British company had been
running along at the average rate until
August when there was a slowing down
TO such a point that shipments OF ma
chimes to Europe were completely
stopped. and this nccessitated a read
Justment of manufacturing costs.
preliminary figures indicate that the
protlts for the year amount to a little
more than S3S0,000, which is equal to a
fraction over 8 per cent or the stock.
In view OF the conditions of general
business. and bearing in mind that
European trade is entirely cut OFF. il is
not considered that this is a bad show
ing. 1t 10 reported that the increase in
domestic business for the first three
months of the calendar year was
| and for the month of March alone
| there was an increase OF some $50 900
, over March, 1914.

| pany he'd locally. although they are
! active IN oeer markets. We give be-
! low a summary of operations for the
| past few years. The principal item of
! comment appears that for 1914 the oper-
| ating revenues decreased $4,000 and the
operating, expenses increased s26,
! but this Is explained by the fact that
! the business for 1918 was abnormal due
! to inauguration week; that wages of

! gan to make more liberal charges for

BIG PHOSPHATE SHIP
MENTS FROM RQCA GRANDE

Boca Grande, July II. THE re-
markable activity in shipment of
phosphate rock from the various
mines along the line of the Char
lotte Harbor and Northern railway
for shipment via South Boca Grande
which started the latter part OF June
still continues with undiminished
power and feverish intensity As an
evidence of this the following
steamers either have already arrived
at the terminals since Monday or
will do so within the next two days
for taking on phosphate rock:
The American steamers lnterna-
| tional, Ruth, Evelyn and Dorothy
and the British steamers Crosby,
Nubian and Rathlin Head, the Nj
bian and Rathlin Head coming d.
rect from England.
The tonnage of rock which will
be loaded into these oceangoing
vessels will exceed 10000 long tons
and it is confidently expected that
the phosphate rock passing through
the large elevator at South Boca
! Grande for pouring into these YES
sells will this week again break the
record at the terminals.
| The result of this unprecedented
activity in the phosphate business
means not only new era OF pro-
sperity to Boca Grande but to the
entire state of Florida, as when the
mines from which this rock is NOV
ing are in active opera tion they let
loose in pay rolls along an annual
! sum in excess of a million dollars
