Outlook Brighter Than
Ever for Business Year
And Prosperity Is Declared Not to Be Dependent on
War-Country Passed Through Lean Years and
"Fat Ones" Are Due.

Never In the history OF the United
States did the commercial and busi-
ness interests Of the country enter
upon a new year with a more cheer
ful outlook than is disclosed at the
beginning OF 1915.
This unprecedented prosperity that
is promised. while stimulated at its
Inauguration by the European war. is
not dependent upon that gigantic
struggle. This country had been
passing through a period of lean years
and the Improvement was due.
In commenting on the business pros
poets and the part which the war
has played and is playing so far as
the United States is concerned, the

view mistakenly held in some quar-

through a period of relatively lean
years, and the fat years were about
due. The conditions attendant upon the
war after the first shock Of the struggle
has been met and surmounted, stimu-
lated but did not create the forces
making for great activity in this
country,
What effect the war will have upon
the long future of nations none Is
wise enough to foresee. AS for this
country and these times, the war has
brought opportunities which probably
would have come without the war but
which would not have come just at
this time nor in such profusion were

countries made upon us when so large
a part OF the world ceased to provide

work of war But these are general
tiles long since made familiar by the
march of events. What we have to
consider more particularly is, in the
first place, the outstanding concrete

of the byproducts OF coke manufac-

an important factor in the manutac-
