1t is reasonable to conclude that
business during the coming year will
have to deal with conditions which
will be difficult, even for these diff
cult times. 1t is also reasonable to
conclude that the tendency of politi-
cal developments will be to grow
more pcrpleXing. The shifting of the
worlds commence from old channels
into new, can be expected to continue
in an increasing volume. Hence the
seriousness of the problems incident
to changing the basis on which the
worlds commerce is both transported
and financed. are more likely 70 in
crease than TO diminish.
The shifting, too. of the wealth of
the world from the nations at war
to the nations at peace will probably
continue also in an increasing volume.
While upon the surface this accumu-
lated wealth. represented in vast
boards of gold, may look seductive, it
is. after all, an abnormal condition.
When considered in its relation to
the ultimate readjust. which must
come. this situation is really mat
ter of the gravest concern 10 the neu-
tral nations of the world.
The high levels for cotton which
have prevailed during most of the
season have been the logical outcome
of the new basis on which the South
is now making its calculations and
predicating it's business. This basis
reide in the new economies conditions
and in the new mental attitude OF
tie people. What are called unusual
prices have not been due to the war,
and they are independent of the sup
ply to a much larger extent that Is
generally accepted. There are sound
reasons for believing that these new
values have come to stay, being mod
