The Spirit of Caution In
Trade and Finance NouU

New York, Apr. la needed spirit
of caution is developing in nearly all
departments of trade and finance. The
violent rise in certain commodities, the
mad rush of orders for many manufac.
tuTed products, the complete exhaustion
of supplies in other commodities and
the unreasoning eagerness of buyers
created situation so extreme and un-
precedented as to seriously raise the
question, is it not time for a pause 7
The war is of course responsible for
these extraordinary conditions, which
are additionally complicated by the un-
usual uncertainties in home affairs.
A glance at the pace at which we
have been travelling is suggestive. For
many weeks bank clearings in the Uni
ted States have been running at about
30 per cent and more in excess of last
year; the greatest ratio of increase gem
rally being at Eastern financial and
manufacturing centers. Approximately
half Of these elearings are at New York
and the increases have been largely due
TO financial and industrial activities
created by the war, which must stop
or change their direction when peace
comes. According to Bradstreet' S index
number, commodity values on March 1
had risen 81 per cent since the war be-
gan. The rise has been greatest in
metals, textiles and chemicals. A few
comparisons of wholesale prices at the
beginning of the war and March |, 1916

old WOMEN KILLED;

Seattle, Wash, April 6.-Robbery is

Kate B. Swift, aged So, who lived in Il

avenue north. They were killed with
an axe and hammer found beside their
bodies.
The tragedy was discovered by tn"
nephew, H. S. King, aged So, shortly
after midnight when he went to IL
house to stay all night.
King does not know the exact sum,
hut il is believed the women had abou
$1,000 in cash hidden in their clothes.
They have lived in terror since tv'
months ago. when they saw a man peer
ing into the window, according to a
neighbor.
Another night, a fiashlight lit "
their dingy rooms for few seconds.
King says that he has been staying
with his aunts for the past three weeks
sleeping on couch, because they were
afraid. He had given them a revolver
which was found, fully loaded near the
body Of the younger woman.
II is said that fear Of the safety OF
their money depositeu m banks, on ac
count Of the European war caused the
women to withdraw their savings and

Since the above figures We're com
piled, prices have in many instances
risen still higher. No industry has en-
joyed more intense activity and pros
perity than steel. Production of pig
iron has about doubled last years fig
uTes and prices have risen to a point
affording extraordinary profits, which
will continue until present contracts are
completed. Building is about 90 per
cent ahead of last year in spite of dear
materials. Textiles have been very ac-
tive, cotton goods often advancing 20
to 80 per cent. Woolens have scored
large advances, and in some instances
linens have risen 100 per cent owing
TO the embargo. Railroad earnings have
been gaining at the rate of 10 per cent
10 20 per cent for number of weeks
past. Our foreign trade has been grow
ing by leaps and bounds, particularly in
exports. Such facts as these can be
cited indefinitely to prove the abnormal
activity and prosperity of the United
States; chiefly the result Of the eonfla-
grafton abroad, although last year s
good harvest has been an important
contributing factor.
Such conditions cannot last. They
will bring their own reaction without
fail, and it is only matter of time
when tnat reaction begins. The longer
it is postponed and the greater our
profits out of the misfortunes of others,
the worse will be the reaction when it
arrives Initiation always accompanies
war, and in our case initiation has been
materially aided by our big gold supply
and the new Federal Reserve law which
greatly facilitated the enormous expln-
sion Of credit. The phenomenal expan.
sion of loans is highly suggestive of eau
ton, especially as the effect of nigh
prices in retail distribution is only just
beginning to be felt. Much larger sums
of money will be required to carry re-
tail merchandise stocks, and high prices
will inevitably tend to restrict con-
sumption; though this may be temper

NEW YORK, Sept When the
story had finished. the five of IFS looked
away into space There was nothing
to say and Broadway cafe is no place
for tears. 1t was the life tragedy of
Gene Hodgkins, known to Broadway as
q dancer but known to his intimates
as one Of Gods noblemen. A few short
weeks ago they buried Hodgkins in
Louisville, a stricken, heart wounded
and demonted hulk OF man.
The story was told by his best
friend-n friend who had stood by him
IN London and in Paris and in New
York. II wasn't friend who had
loaned him money for no one could do
that. 1t was the one 10 whom Hodg-
kins came when it seemed that all The
world had turned He wasn't whining
but he didn't want to be all alone with
his memories.
Gene Hodgkins came from a fine
southern family. He studied medicine
but he loved music more and so he
wrote music-not the twaddle Of the
ragtime world. II is sometime hard 10

danced in vaudeville but he loathed the
calling.
