New York. April 8, 1915.

New York. April 8, 1910
All signs Indicate that We have en-
tered a period of permanent recovery,
from the war. The first effects OF
th't cataclysm were panic, followed by
pareiy sis, then period Of vaclliatioh
between fear and confidence. Through
all Of these phases, the process OF H.
ma lcial and commercial readjustment
has been progressing with remarkable
steadiness, until fear has now almost
totally disappeared and bouyaney IS
takirg its place. Trade ard finance,
at least so far as concerns the United
States, have been completely adj Justed
to war conditions; and the tendency
now is to discount in advance the com
ing of peace. Confidence has been fur
ther strengthened by progress OF the
war itself. While it would be unwise
to indulge in premature optimism, the
hope Of an early end is based upon the
belief that preparedness on one side
and exhaustion on the other can only
brit g one result. The general opin
is that peace will come during the
autumn. Be that as il may, there is
u universal presentiment in favor
early peace that must haye some foun-
datton greater than the mere wish
War is the very essence Of uncertainty
however, and setbacks must he expect
ed although the outlook is clearer THAI

Henry Clews Says Recovery
From Depression Is Certain

ruary exports to France were $300O0,-
900 larger than a year ago. To Great
Britain $52,000,00O greater than year
ago, and to Italy $40, 100000 more than
last year. In March the results prom
ise to be still more astonishing, the
total shipments from this port amount
ing to over $l36,000,O00, or $4S,0O0,-
900 over a year ago. Our imports are
still running heavily behind, the March
total at this city being less than $780,
100000, compared with $l07,000,000
last year. The reduction in imports is,
of course, mainly due TO the loss of
trade with Germany, France and Bel
gium. Under such circumstances, heavy
gold imports would be ordinarily ex-
pected, but the fact that gold is need
ed more abroad than here, our supply
being far beyond requirements, calls
for other modes of settlement. Very
considerable amounts of foreign secur
tiles have been sold in this market re-
Gently, and more are likely to follow,
especially should this market continue
its present advance. On the other
hand, the new foreign issues referred
to above and the granting Of credits
to foreign countries will tend to absorb
this balance and restrain gold imports.
In this connection it is of interest to
note that the administration at Wash
ington has apparently withdrawn its
objections to the floating of loans for
the belligerents in this country.
The most emphatic reminder that
the stock market has successfully
faced the war crisis, was the abolition
of minimum prices by the stock ex-
change. This is most encouraging
declaration of financial independence,
which cannot but have wholesome
influence throughout the whole finan-
cial world. 1t means that we no long.
er have fear of foreign dumping, and
that this market has shown its capacity
to meet all legitimate demands. Spec
ulation on the exchange has broadened
considerably and shown widening activ
ity, the transactions in stocks and
bonds during March being much larger
than for several months past. There
has been a good investment buying,
and the whole market shows a healthy
tone in spite of the excessive and
sensational advance in Ger.
tain specialties Such features must
be expected while the war lasts, es.
pecially in securities which benefit
from war contracts This phase of
speculation may, however, be easily |
carried to the danger point.
General trade is quiet, but improv
ing. More activity is shown in the
iron and steel industries, also in the |
textile trades, although the volume of
business is still much below normal.
Some Of the railroads are making bet
ter returns partly as result Of the
advance in rates, but the volume of
traffic does not as yet show any i'm

DAY TO TEACH
SAFETY FIRST"
October 9th Set Aside as
Day.
FIRE PREVENTION
The Great Sacrifice of Property
by Fire Can Be Easily
Prevented.

October 8 is Fire Prevention Day.
The Safety First Federation of Am
erica seems responsible for the ad-
dition OF this day to the many days we
celebrate. Certainly the extent of the
fire evil makes IL desirable to direct
public attention in the strongest pos
sible way to practical remedies.
In a single generation we have
sacrificed more than $4,000, 100000 to
the fire fiend The cost has been
steadily mounting, more than Keeping
pace withour growth of population. In
the last three years we have averaged
a property loss of $23O,OO0,OO0 year.
We have by far the highest fire loss
per capita in the world.
That fact, it may be admitted, is
partly due to the preponderance of
wooden structures in the United States
instead of the less destructible houses
of brick and stone in most foreign
lands. But the biggest factor is plain
carelessness.
People throw matches about care
lessly in their own houses, and ne
gleet leaky chimneys and ill-adjusted
stoYepipes. They leave matches and
infiammable materials where little
child ~ap cao D1o1y will, +bo,, ool +oo
many of them still tolerate old-fash-
Toned Fourth of July pyromania. They
bit when there are many sorts OF
lighting devices just as cheap and far
safer. They toss cigar and cigarette
stubs in waste baskets and dry grass.
They build bonfires near houses or in
the woods and let them spread Work
men take chances in factories. Fac
tory owners and store owners try to
save money by cheap construction and
by skimping on safety devices, and
pay for it in big losses and high in
surance rates.
1t is shameful record. Persuasion
and education can do much to improve
it. 1t would help powerfully, if every
city would do what New York has done
recently in one or two cases, making
an owner who has neglected proper
precaution pay the expense of having
the fire department put out his fire.
1t might help, too, if the insurance
companies would advise workable
system of cutting down fire loss pay
ments in cases where contributory
negligence is provable.

THE u. S.
TOMATO CROP
Great Shipments Into the
Markets.
ALL YEAR ROUND
Twelve Thousand Carloads Are
Shipped Each Long Season
Into the Markets.

Beginning early in the year and
continuing until late in the fall, toma-
toes are shipped commercially from
over half of the states of the Union.
There is probably no other perishable
vegetable commonly grown out of
doors in the United States which ap-
pears on the market through a longer
season than does the tomato.
Florida, of course, with it's location
and climate, stands as the premier to-
mato state and starts the tomato
movement each year in January. The
northern states, such as New York and
Ohio, finish out the season in October,
and by the time the movement is over,
approximately twelve thousand cars
are moved for table consumption, ac-
cording to recent survey made by
the department of Agriculture.
Florida ships about half the toma-
toes in smaller quantities, but in GER
tain districts such as West Tennessee,
the crop is of great local Importance.
The bulletin presents figures show
ing that a total of twelve thousand
cars were moved; but this by no
means represents the entire tomato
crop, since an effort was made to ex-
elude those going to canneries and
catsup factories. When demand for
tomatoes in the markets is heavy, it
is more profitable to ship the toma-
toes which were originally intended
for the canneries, but if the market
is weak larger quantities are offered
for canning.
There are certain localities where it
is more profitable to raise tomatoes
for canning than for table use. New
York. Delaware and Ohio put the
bulk of their production into the can,
so that the total used for this purpose
is more than that shipped for table
use.
Most of the table tomatoes are pick
ed when green and wrapped in paper
to ripe on the way to market is VEN
tilated cars. Texas for number of
years has preferred to send its crop
to market picked when ripe and ship
large quantities of tomatoes are ship
ped in iced cars. Near many cities
ped when fully ripe by electric lines,
trucks, and other conveyances.
The different tomato-growing local
tiles endeavor to raise their crop so
as not to be in competition with each
other, and every effort is made to rush
the crop to market before the local to-
matoes comes in. The last of the
southern crop is frequently wasted be-
cause it cannot sell in competition
with northern tomatoes.

BUY|NCTOMATOES
FOR SHIPMENT

Tomato buyers have arrived and are
buying tomatoes for Campbell, in
Camden. They are paying from lie
to zoe per basket according to appear
ance of quality.
The sellers are reporting that the
crop is not more than half crop, and
the buyers say the quality of Cumber-
land county tomatoes is not up to it's
usual high standard-this they say is
owing to the excessive wet season.
The prices now being paid per basket
brings the crop up to SO to $12 per ton.
The canning factories contracted at $40
per ton.
