backwardness of this group is found in
the steady liquidation from abroad

capacity of the local market Another

Investment Conditions Sound.

That investment conditions are in
herently and fundamentally sound Is
demonstrated by the rapidity with
which several new banking fiotations
have been taken, together with the fact
that many other underwritings are in
process of completion. This offers a
refreshing contrast to the numerous
short-term issues Of the past year.
General trade reports are of more
glowing character. all lines of mer-
chandise showing greater activity. To
what extent the enforced embargoes Of
railroads at this port will affect our
foreign trade remains to be seen.

Henry Clews on the Future.
Henry Clews has this to- say on the
i future:
In spite of satisfactory trade condi-
tions. fiattering railroad earnings. phe-
nomenal activity in steel, etc. the stock
market showed a steady declining tend
ency This was attributed partly to
continued liquidation, to foreign selling
and the approaching opening of Con-
gress. A lot of new problems have
lately been pressed upon public at
tentlon. such as preparedness, revenue.

situation is further complicated by the
coming presidential campaign and the
excitement and uncertainty which that
movement is likely to produce. There

policy for the coming session a sense
OF relief will probably be felt. One i'm
portant factor in the reaction was the
weakness in the munition shares. Ex-

NEW YORK, December 4.-The rail-

He further said that there were

largest acreage of Strawberries in the
history of the region, and if favorable
climatic conditions prevailed to the

At a low estimate he figured that
IN these two crops alone it should

upwards Of 100000.
Nothing was said about alfalfa,
hogs, dairy products, apples and
pears and grapes and other small
fruits and other products too num-
erous to mention of this district, but
at the good prices that the prospects
show now it should be a wonderful
wear for this section.
