These things together with other
wonderful achievements Of the past
year. prove that, although we are
facing tremendous problems, we
have the financial strength, bust
ness genius and enormous resources
10 solve them without panics or bust
ness Generalization.
The best opinions in financial cir
cles is that there will continue TO be
heavy demands for foodstuffs, live
stock and other agricultural prod
ucts so that farmers will have good
prices and money 10 spend.
Stocks of goods are generally low,
the dealers wishing to keep stocks
low until the question of future
prices should be settled, and these
stocks must be replenished to con-
tinue business. The people are with
more funds than ever before. as the
deposits in the savings banks will
testify. There should be a good
volume Of business. which will in
crease with the somewhat lower
prices shat should come.
Building to Be Resumed.
The government has already or
dered work TO be begun upon pub
lie buildings and it is probable that
the cooperation OF states and
branches Of public administration
will be secured for advancement Of
public works. BY these methods
and in other ways the employment
of labor released by the ending Of
the war will be taken care of.
Local conditions indicate that
there viii be a substantial amount
Of building in the spring and as
prices o. materials ease up building
will. without doubt, increase proper
tionateiy. and banks stand ready
with large reserves to encourage
building enterprises, and especially
that Of home building.
I believe that the experience Of
most bankers has NOT been, that the
high cost Of materials has in great
degree retarded building opera
tions, but rather the feeling of un-
certainty more than anything else,
next to government restrictions, has
held back building enterprises.

Year after year Hughie Jennings has

after year his club has piled up more
runs by Tar than any other club on the

almost a run more a game than the
everage American League club, Hughie
cannot win because he has been unable,
