The history Of the business year 1915
may be said TO deal with three great
movements First Of these was tho i'm.

OF othnr products that practically swept
the country bare OF surplus stocks Of

whether for offence or sustsnance.
AN example OF this WAS the taking
up VI every surplus buzhel Of the great.
est wheat crop in the countrys history
al close to the highest prices ever
known. The second period may be said
to embrace the marvellous diversion
which occurred In our industrial forceS
which. lacking occupation OF y peaceful
kind. turned toward the production Of
war material. demonstrating the adapta-
billty OF American manufacturers, me
chanics and artisans, and giving a vast
incentive to the production OF all kinds
Of metals. whose output alone would
