Europe to Need Steel.

Europe is sure to need large quanti-
ties of steel after peace is restored be-
cause industries are disorganized over
there and the production Of peace prod
ucts cannot be resumed until both
plants and working forces are reor-
ganiZed. American engineers are now
figuring on bridges that will have to be
rebuilt in Europe as soon as peace is
declared.
American labor is now we'll and prof
itably employed. the farmers are re-
Joicing because of the bountiful har-
vests mines and metals are returning g
extraordinary dividends to their stock
holders and railroad earnings are on a
very substantial basis The bureau of
railway economics reports that the De-
cember operating income per mile of
the railroads of the country was S23
per cent greater in 1915 than in 1914,
CO., per cent greater than in 1873 %
per cent greater than in 1912 and 42.1
per cent greater than in 1911. Net op-
Grating income of the railways of the
United States for December increased
$3.50 per mile, or S2.3 per cent, as COM
pared with December, 1914. This COM
parison, however, is between the high
est and the lowest December in six
years. A comparison of December,
1915, with the average December of the
preceding five years shows an increase
of 1876 per cent.

Belief in Higher Prices.

There seems to be a persistent con-
fidence in higher prices eventually. And,
as has been frequently remarked, the
public which is in the market on margin
seems perfectly well able to care for its
accounts. Brokers report many instances
where when margin has been called for.
the customer has voluntarily put up
double the amount. This would indicate
that considerable part of the public is
able to pay for its stocks outright. In
this respect il becomes associated in the
.apitalistic class, and If large enough
proportion OF the people holding stocks
should take them out Of the market, this
would break the long deadlock in prices
nd allow the advance, which is conf
IDENTITY expected in the future. The state

America. who conferred at Washington

ness for the purpose of establishing a
pan American business program that

gram and with very high respect for

Business and Investments.

A few weeks ago a number of prom
inent bankers predicted that by the
first or middle of March the rates for
money would show hardening tend
ency, and rates for the longer ma
TURTLES especially would be marked
upward to comparatively higher points
These predictions have not yet been
verified, and, in fact, there is nothing
in the present situation to indicate
that the low loaning rates for money
will not continue for some time TO
come. The banks are still cro"deu
with loanable funds, and the new bank
ing system offers still greater faculties
for financial accommodation.
Investment bankers continue to re-
port that their opportunities for busl-
ness are bounded only by their llmlta-
tions in finding sufficient offerings TO
supply the wants of their customers
As the demands of investors have in
creased, the borrowing rates have con-
sequently decreased, and it is now pos
sible for municipalities to market their
securities on an income basis less than
per cent, whereas two years ago in
vestorS were asking and in some
cases 6 per cent.
Domestic trade conditions continue
very favorable The United States
orders at the end of February dis
closed the largest amount in its his
tory. The output and shipment of steel
in February are believed to be greater
than ever and the steel trade is en-
joying Il degree of prosperity never be-
fore approached. The average price of
steel products is now $40 a ton as
compared with $40 year ago, and
high prices are beginning to restrict
large building operations and heavy
construction work, because current
prices are abnormally high, and work
done W q COSTLY q
with other construction when prices
are normal

Valuable Properties Idle.

who have been spending their time IN

Sira BILE condition the value OF many III :

i'm recent days Whether this app ecla-
tion is we'll founded remains to be seen.
In other quarters, those who have beeh
martial to the war stocks profess TO
see in the present moment an Increased

SEQUEL being grand campaign for pre-
paredness which will call for many mil
lions of dollars worth of munitions ana
provide new occupation for many OF the
industrial plants which because OF the
falling off in the demand for munitions
would be compelled to undergo many
changes in order to change the char
acter of their output.
With the coming of higher prices comes
also the return of public interest in the
stock market. Perhaps il would be more
correct to say that the return of public
interest is the explanation for the tend
ency to higher prices. AT any fate:
this week has marked the resumption OF
change. the sales on Tuesday exceeding
that amount by 100000 shares. This is

OUR LAKE BOYS OUGHT TO
GET INTO THESE CONTESTS


st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 3, 1916.-''If the
boy corn growers of Minnesota continue the
progress they have made in the last year
this state soon will be in the front rank as
a producer of juvenile agriculturists." &C
cording to Prof. r. A. Moore of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin who today finished iudg-
ing the Boys exhibits at the First National
Corn Show held in the mammoth Hill Rail
way Building, this city Trophy cup
awards valued at $1,000 were given by the
First National Bank and the Northwestern
Trust Company An exceptionally fine
quality Of corn was raised by the boys Of
Montana, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, the
Dakotas, Wisconsin and Minnesota for ex-
hibition in this show. These culture greats"
in the corn raising field are rapidly putting
the Northwestern States on the map as a
new and wonderful corn belt. "Why, the
corn laid down here for me to judge has
proved the most surprising in quality that
have examined in the long years Of my as
ISOLATION with the grain," said Prof. Moore.
Considering Prof Moore's great reputation
throughout the United States as a corn
Judge, this statement by him spells the high
est tribute that could be paid to boyhood
effort in this country.
There were no sweepstakes in the show,
the competition of the boy corn growers of
the seven states being confined to the boys
in the districts of their state Following
