tiles for a long period; and the COR
receive can only come through nat
ural processes Of increased produce
ton and decreased consumption. All
the great powers now at war have
made prodigfous efforts at keeping
down prices, only to fail; and their
efforts to enforce economy have not
been half as effectual in this direc-
| ton as advancing prices. Both Great
Britain and Germany have strenu-
ously endeavored to regulate supplies
and prices with more success and
intelligence than other nations; yet
neither has attained any real meas
ure Of success.
.Germany's campaign in Rumanfa
is a matter Of much military import
ance, because, if successful, 1t will
provide Germany with vast supplies
Of grain, meat and oil. Rumania is
great agricultural country. ranking
third as grain producer In the
world. That the war is not pro-
pressing rapidly enough is. evidenced
by the present friction in high po-
litical circles in Great Britain. Hence,
in order to secure a more vigorous
prosecution of the war, she has made
Lloyd George Premier in place Of
Mr.. Asquith. Through all the dark
ness and confusion hanging over
Europe, there is still no gleam as yet
Of peace; for. while Germany seems
prepared to consider terms, the
Allies display a determination to push
the war to more favorable conclu-
sions.
Operations on the stock market
have been on diminished scale, due
Of course to the restrictions of the
money scale. Aside from this factor,
there has been no real change in, the
financial situation. Within the last
two or three weeks there has been
very considerable liquidation and the
decline has reached greater proper
tons than anticipated. The technical
position of the market has been.
strengthened somewhat by these de-
velopments, but no pronounced inn
provement can be looked for until
the monetary situation is clarified.
Many of our Industrial and financial
concerns are making exceedingly
satisfactory reports; SO, too, are the
principal railroad corporations. A
few are making amazing profits, only
portion Of which are likely at pres
ent to go to stockholders. The in
creased cost of doing business is gen.
orally recognized, also the tendency
of advancing wages. Managers are
generally pursuing a policy Of
trengthening their concerns to meet
possible contingencies arising out Of
the present crisis, and it is usually
conceded that profits have about
reached their zenith and probably
will not be duplicated in 1917. There
is an excellent investment demand
for all desirable, issues which prom
ises tc Re augmented by liberal jan
uary oursements. Many new Of
ferings are being made, not few
of which are exceedingly attractive,
but intending purchasers should be
on guard against questionable promo
lions which present conditions en-
courage. When the current liquida-
ton has run it's course, renewed spec
u1ative activity and a better market
may be expected, provided the none
tary situation improves and no UNI
toward developments occur in foreign
or domestic politics. The possibili-
ties of difficulty with their Germany
or Mexico are still with us and should
not be forgotten.
