THE biggest thing in the outlook

Swallowed by the latest government
crop estimates" said the October
letter OF the Dime Savings bank.
IF the present promise of 20
tai production of all grains OF 5.46l.-
000,O bushels should be fulfilled.
the yield would surpass the pre-
vious high record production In
1912 by l0S,0O0.000 bushels. and
probably represent the greatest
money valuation ever known. The
indications are that there will be
400 600, 900 bushels OF wheat availa-
BILE for export. which would be the
largest export surplus that the coun.
try has ever had.
Business conditions are begin
ming to respond to the brilliant crop
outlook. General trade Is gradually
becoming more active. There Is q
disposition, however. to overdo
things or TO 20 to extremes. Rail.
road traffic is bound to enlarge dur

cause OF the immense movement OF

lions, however, TO prevent conges-

Necessary For Main
tenance of Foreign
Trade, He Says
DETROIT BANK
is PARTICIPANT
AnglO-French Bonds
Are Called Safe
Investment

Emory w. Clark, president OF the
First and Old Detroit National
bank, gave out the following state
ment, Saturday, relative TO the
banks subscription TO the Anglo
French loan:
In making subscription TO the
Anglo French loan. the First and
Old Detroit National bank consider.
d. first. whether 1t was a safe loan
and reached the conclusion without
much difficulty that the joint and
several promise TO pay Of Great
Britain and France to foreign peo-
pie, no matter what the outcome OF
the war may be, was a desirable In.
yestment;. secondly, whether II was
an investment that we were war
ranted In making. and one that we
could recommend to our clientele.
"The conclusion was that we could
IL afford not to do our share In
helping to stabilize the exchanges.
export trade. and prevent any ces-
sation OF foreign buying In this
country due To lack OF ability to
purchase exchange for payment.
Aside from the benefit to the
country at large in helping to move
its great crops. the Detroit indus
tries, with whom We are most con.
cerned. are enjoying their full share
of the benefit from foreign trade
and we feel our responsibility anO
duty to help them to maintain their
business.
Before any announcement was
made OF our attitude toward this
loan. we received many requests for
the bonds. both locally and through
out the state. from people who want
ed them as an investment and were
closely associated with industries
that are receiving particular benefits
from the foreign business.
England and France have never
denied this country credit when we
wanted IL. and we can hardly AFFORD
TO deny them credit when II Is so
necessary to the industries and peo.
pie OF this nation at large.
Our attitude is the same toward
Germany or any other nation where
It seems desirable or necessary to
maintain the business for the manu-
nv,I
throughout the state Of Michigan. :"
