General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: Preparations
for the further extension Of American
enterprise are undertaken with in
creased vigor at the end of the holt
day season. Domestic finances are
in an unusually sound position and
funds continue superintendent for all
legitimate requirements, while there
is no lack of the confidence essential
to the launching and promotion of
important projects. In the latter re-
spect, conditions afford a striking
contrast to those existing ~ months
ago, and, moreover, all of the salts
tical barometers EN- phi asize the
changed situation prevailing at the
opening of 1916. Unlike the begin
ming of 1915, the new year starts
with a record production and distri-

and an accumulation of forward con
tracts that ensures a continuance oil

Business Section Wiped Out-Blaze is
Worst in History of Country.
Christiana.-A third of the city of
Bergen, a thriving Norwegian seaport
with a population of 10000, was de-
stroyed Saturday night by fire. Two
lives are reported to have been lost
and 1000 persons are homeless. The
property damage is estimated at $15,-
100000.
The conflagration is said to be the
worst ever recorded in Norway. The
business section, with it's old whole
sale houses, several of the largest
hotels, a number of schools, the cleo
trio plant and banks and newspaper
buildings were burned.
The difficulties of the 1000 persons
now without homes were increased by
the fact that the largest storage
houses, filled with provisions for sup
plying the surrounding country were
burned down. 1t is harder to obtain
groceries than at any time since the
outbreak of the war
Bergen never was so flourishing as
at the beginning of the year, these
conditions being largely due to the in.
creased merchant marine.
The fire started Saturday evening in
an ironmongers shop, and, famed by
"a hurricane, the flames spread rapidly
and soon enveloped all the business
portion of the city.
The firemen, to prevent a further
spread of the conflagration, finally
blew up buildings on the outer edge
of the path of the flames. Late reports
say that no lives were lost. The kinl
came to the scene at the head of re
aief expedition.

2 SEA FIGHTERS, s1s,ooo,ooo EACH
Mammoths With Ten 16-Inch Guns for
Main Batteries


Washington.-Main batteries of ten
16-inch guns each and a cruising ra-
dius of at least 10000 miles are the
general characteristics urged by the
navy general board for the two new
super-dreadnaughts congress has been
asked to authorize this year.
The board proposes that the ships
should cost $1S,O00,O00 each, displace
$4,000 tons and have the highest speed
attainable without sacrificing arma-
ment, armor or fuel capacity. 1t would
have them represent a 25 per cent in
crease in gun power and endurance
over any American battleship afloat
or authorized, and carry the biggest
guns ever placed aboard a fighting
ship by any power. Indications, how
ever, are that adherence to the $4,000
ton ship, of the California class, final
ly will be decided upon by Secretary
Daniels.
Opinions differ among Mr.. Daniels
advisers as to the advisability of in
creasing the size of battleships, be
cause of many limitations of yard ia
ciIities and channel depth.
The general board reached it's con
clusion on the necessity of bigger bat
tleships after a study of events
abroad.
