armies and the nations behind them
are confident II Germany has reor-
ganized for mighty drive so have the
allies reorganized for a mighty defense,
The offensive LIZ likely to gain some
ground. That seems to be Inevitable
when furious offensive is launched
against an equal defense. AS in the
first offensive the Germans will make
no effort to save men. II will be a
repetition OF the former offensive when
no price was considered exorbitant If
important ground was to be gained.
And this drive will be the same drive.
German military commanders know
only the one way. Human lives will
not enter into their calculations. And
such tactics gain ground temporarily
at least.
But IT 1S reasonable TO assume tina.
Germany put all the force che was
capable into the first drive. It was
expected to go thru. 1t had been in
preparation for weeks and months.
The present preparation has been a
matter Of days. That fearful force
of men and artillery has been gathered

THE GENERAL BUSINESS FIELD.

AS illustrating the advantage the
cotton belt and its growers are given
| over the corn belt and wheat belt pro-
| ducers by price liking on wheat, while
| cotton is untouched G"cte .ions on
| ginghams afford illuminating compar-
ison. Prices for next spring ginghams
range from 50 to l25 per cent advance
| over present prices and from 33 to 20
per cent over next falls prices. That
means that gingham Of ordinary
| quality will cost the woman who wears
! it 90 cents a yard instead of a shilling
to Is cents. And this is said to be
| typical of advances and conditions in
| this class of merchandise.
Government demands are tightening
markets, not in values but In quantity.
Many commercial demands must re-
main unsatisfied and orders are being
| taken with a delivery clause that pro-
| tects the seller and manufacturer. The
prospect is that the statement that the
economies of today will be considered
the cxtravagances of next year will be
borne out by conditions.
The excellent agricultural promise,
continuing thru another week, has be-
come more noteworthy feature, and
its importance is not minimized by the
extraordinary circumstances Of the pc
y,
the prospect of large crops, not only Of
grain, but also of cotton, is less than
ii would be under normal conditions,
as war time economies are being moro
generally practiced and most branches
of trade and industry are now domi-
mated by governmental necessities. Un-
der ordinary conditions, the present IA
vora bic crop prospects and the full en-
ployment of labor would tend to make
| business decidedly active in regular
channels; but economy and retrench-
| ment are more general among con-
sumers and merchants are unable to
| rely on a normal distribution in the
future.
| The influence of official control over
prices, moreover, is reflected in Dun's
list Of wholesale quotations. which last
week again discloses more recessions
than advances. Yet the commodity
markets average considerably higher
than a year ago, and bank clearings
last week at leading centers outside
New York show gain of POI per cent.
