WEEKLY REVIE w OF TRADE


New York, Dec. l.-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say:
''Ruffles on the surface of the stream
betray the existence OF some eddies, but
generally speaking. the current of trade
than ever before at this date. The need
of cooler weather as a stimulant to re-
tail trade Is mentioned In a few dis
patches, but with early active holiday
demand and a new wave OF wage ad-
vances reinforcing the abnormally large
current business. complaint from this
source Is at a minimum. Something like
revolt Of consumers was witnessed in
the markets for food this week, and
Thanksgiving demand for poultry and
other lines was disappointing to dealers
at some cities.
I'm grain and hog products talk of q
food embargo and resulting decline in
prices have fostered the belief that prices
have reached their zenith for a time at
least, but, on the other hand, new high
prices have been reached for cattle and
sheep. and in the great majority Of
manufactured staples, as in all raw ma
terials, except rossibIy lumber. there is
still a wire edge on demand and prices
and some observers can only see still
higher quotations for iron and steel the
other metals. leather and its msnufac-
lures, wool. tobacco, and, in fact. raw
or manufactured materials in general In
regular staple lines demand has been
free. and jobbers. wholesalers and manu-
facturers are all straining to keep up
with current demand, while orders tend
to bank up. The car shortage trouble
tends to grow even more acute, although
local and State action is said to have
been helpful in causing coal spectators
TO unload and thereby release some cars.

New York. Dec. I-Wall Street was
electrified this aftefhoon with the an
nouncement from r. p. Morgan & Co.
that the short-term notes Of the allies,
which drew the rebuke from the Federal
Reserve Board. had been abandoned The
stock market had opened strong, but
had begun to sell down almost immedi-
ately because Of general disapproval OF
the apparent rebellion OF the banks. The
proof Of their loyalty to the American
government and its people restored con-
fidence instantly.
Steel, Reading and the high-grade mu-
nitions, all of which had been dropping,
picked up at once and resumed the up
ward movement.
This announcement means that the al
lies will issue more bonds, backed with
the splendid collateral. Now that the
banks evidently intend to attend to Deir
proper business, the matter Of buying
the bonds can safely be left to the uAter-
rt1ed investors.
A new era has dawned for the Ameri-
can business man, for the banks have
been put where they belong. They are
no longer the tyrants or masters OF ousi-
ness, but its humble and highly esteemed
servant. For the first time In history the
United States government has proved
itself as strong as the banks
