Business Confidence Increases.

Autumn generally brings more activity in
trade than any other season This is because
preparations for winter mean heavy retail trade,
the marketing of crops means a wide distribu-
ton of money, transportation generally reaches
maximum traffic and practically all industries
are normally busy. This autumn is no excep-
ton to the general rule
Bank clearings in the month Just ended were
about 40 per cent in volume above September a
year ago and business in September year ago
was what is called good. In 1915 business gradu-
ally increased in the first eight months and at
tanned full activity in autumn. Since then busi-
ness has been going at a rapid and yet steady
pace. Today railroad traffic is breaking all
records, business has reached the capacity Of the
lines and there are numerous complaints of car
shortage
There is much complaint about the increasing
prices of necessities, but these increases are to
be expected after a period in which practically
all agencies of production have been running at
capacity. 1t seems largely a question of demand
being greater than supply in most cases.
Business is accumulating a momentum that
may be expected to carry it far beyond the slump
that must come when war orders cease Big
profits are wiping out indebtedness and in
creaslng resources and confidence is growing
in leaps and bounds In fact confidence seems
to be the outstanding feature of our heavy
business this fall Experts declare there is
more confidence today In the business world
than at any time in the last two years.
