CASH AND CREDIT PLENTIFUL.

After discussing the placing of the
recent British loan of s3,OOO,0OO,O0O
which will go down in history as the
most remarkable financial achieve
ment on record, and pointing out that
the effect of this loan upon the finan-
cial conditions in this country was
strikingly small, Henry Clews, the
New York banker, discusses in his
current weekly financial review, as
usual, the situation and prospects in
the world of trade and finance in this
country, and the activities and devel-
opments of one sort and another that
have a bearing upon them. On this
score, he writes, among other things:
The foreign exchange situation
promises to gradually right itself. Both
our import and export trades are still
badly deranged. Imports of luXuries
and many necessities are necessarily
curtailed through lack of production
abroad; while many of our staple ex-
ports have been seriously interrupted,
not only with the belligerents, but also
with neutral countries whose purchaS-
ing abilities have been Iessened by the
war. The excess of exports, however,
continues because of the outward
movement of foodstuffs and munitions
of war. Orders for munitions re-
ceived months ago are now being
filled, and within the next few weeks
there will be a much larger outward
movement, accompanied also by
shipments on account of the new
crops 1t is quite certain that the next
/ six months will witness another heavy
excess of exports; possibly as large if
not larger than during the first six
months of the current year. This
means a further expansion of foreign
obligations on this side. International
| bookkeeping accounts have become
much deranged, but a solution of the
problem through natural means is
now in sight. Britain's credit stands
high in spite of the strain imposed.

was to create a realm for the gospel of

gospel of Duty devoid of content
naturally lent itself to the consecra-

might prescribe. The sense OF duty
must get its subject-matter some

restricted; all of which tends to easy

adoxical to affirm that cash and credit
will be plentiful during the balance of
the year at relatively low rates, while
capital will be scarce and command

truth. The explanation is that cash

is chiefly derived from national saw

there is no prophet who can tell what

HONEs1, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

HONEST DISSATISFA
Dissatisfaction is not uncommon in
this life Indeed there are very few of
us VINO are really satisfied with what
we have, but, on the contrary, are con-
tinually drawing contrasts and MAX
ing comparisons and displaying re-
sentiments and doing all those many
little things which add to our own bit
terness and increase the dlscomforts
of others. When our dissatisfaction
with life is illustrated by petty jeal-
ousy and unreasonable resentment we
are merely exhibiting a narrow and
an intolerant spirit, and such mani
festations on our part do not in the
least indicate that we merit the good
fortune we crave, or that we would
know how to benefit by it If we pos
sessed it. There is, however, another
kind of which always reacts to our ad-
vantage. 1t is founded not on jeal-
ousy of others. but on an ever in
creasing ambition to surpaSs our own
efforts. 1t is evidenced by a restless
ness which finds expression in greater
activities and renewed efforts, and it
eXo%'ts a wonderful influence for good
not only upon ourselves but upon all
those with whom we may be aSsociat-
ed. 1t is good sign because 1t tells
of growth and expansion. A man who
is easily satisfied and who is content
to keep to the old rutS never grows.
He has already reached the limit of
his possibilities so far as his ambition
is concerned, and without the influ
ence of the latter quality it is impos-
sible to develop properly.-Charlesto
