WORLDS RECORD BROKEN

All records were broken during the
month of March in our import and ex-
port trade. We imported $214, 900
worth of goods during that month, or
$40, 000, 600 more than or the previous
month, which takes second place in
the history of our import trade. Our
exports for March amounted ii $410,
000, 900, which is more thar any nation
ever exported in any one month, so
far as the written record Of mankind
informs us. This stupendous outflow
of goods is caused by the European

and every destructive influence
which the ingenuity of man can direct
against his brother are resulting in a
%carousal of prosperity for the United
States. The imports will continue to
record monthly increases as long as the

books, and when the war has ended

new ones. The dyestuffs industry is
an example. There are unparalleled OPP
~portunities tiday for the sale of dye
stufs in this country We have had a
demonstration of the extent of the
market and the permaneney of its
character, provided foreign competitors
be shut out. But the Democratic Con-
gress has fatty refused to establish an
adequate d~yestuffs duty. Although a
few men have engaged in a small way
in the manufacture of a few dye ma
t%erials, investment in this line of en-
terprise has been limited because ev-
cry thoughtful man realizes that in
der present laws Germany can retake
and again monopolize the dyestuffs
of the United States.
The same is true of other lines of
industry, though perhaps not in 50
marked a degree. This being true mo
wonder that capital lies idle in the
banks for want of borrowers, while
municipal bonds sell at the highest
in municipal history.

MONEY FOR BONDS
NOT FOR INDUSTRY

Much significance attaches to two
announcements recently made in
American financial centers. First, that
banks now have on hand a record
breaking surplus with little demand
from borrowers. Second, that m issue
of 100000 o of f~fty-year Az per
cent New York City bonds brought an
average price higher than has ever
been heretofore paid for New York
bonds bearing that rate of interest.
There can be no doubt what this
means. Money is seeking investment,
but not in Industrial enterprise. There
is plenty of money to be loaned, but
men are cautious in borrowing to en-
large their establishments or to I'M
dertake new enterprises. In the alb
sence of other demand for money, and
through a desire to obtain gilt edge
security, lenders have turned to mu-
nicipal bonds. The only notable ex-
eeptions to the general rule that money
is not going into new enterprises, are
seen where the products find an alb
normal market due to the war in Eu-
rope. Naturally, enterprises of this
kind are relatively few and unimpor
tant compared with the total perma-
nent business Of the United States.
The reason for reluctance to embark
in new undertakings is plain. No man
has any doubt as to the ultimate
soundness of business conditions in
America and the ultimate restoration
of industrial prosperity on a perma-
nent basis. American resources, Ameri-
can ingenuity, and American persist
ence are sufficient guarantee of this.
But there is large uncertainty and
grave doubt as to business conditions
Immediately after the close of the war,
and prior to the return of the United
States to the economic policies upon
which our marvellous prosperity was
built.
1t is true that no man knows what
the future will bring forth. What the
condition will be after the close of the
war, no man can definitely say. 1t is
certain, howeer, that those possessors
Of capital who might be disposed to
engage in new industrial enterprise
will resolve the doubt in favor of eau
ton. Where doubt exists, it is due to
the fact that American ports are now
open for the admission of the pro
duets of other countries in practically
free competition with the products of
the United States. We are now enjoy
ing the temporary Advantages Of prae-
tical protection land an abnormal mar
ket or our products, both due to the
war. 1t is almost certain that upon
the close of the war our abnormal mar
ket abroad will end, and a food Of
cheap foreign products Will be thrown
upon our market at home 1t is. posi-
BILE that these a-pprehensions may be
.ill-founded, but that does not change
the fact that capital seeking perma-
nent investment does not venture In
the face of such u~nfavorable prospects
these.
If the United States had today n
protective tariff which would remove
uncertainty so far as a flood of for
imports is concerned, there can
be no doubt that e~nterprising men
would take advantage of the present
market for cheap money, and expand
their present industries or establish
