portant changes, but that 1t will be 1 modified in many essentials when 1t reaches the Senate. Of course the l final result when the measure has been signed by the President will be received in patriotic spirit as ona of the sacrifices that loyal American l citizens are called upon to make in the nationwide endeavor to win the war. But viewed as a practical influence in the financial situation it is obvious that distinct effect of the accumula- tion of so much money mainly from the savings of the people must lead to 8 necessary reduction in the volume of capital available for new invest ments. This becomes still more ap parent when viewed in connection with the subscriptions amounting to $5, 900, 100000 or more to be invited to the Fourth Liberty Loan, and the knowledge that other loans must in- evitably follow so long as the war continues. Capital application by American railroads and industrial cor porauons are showing a natural fall ing off resulting in the first place from the governments control of the railroads, and in the second place in popular, indisposition to compete with the governments requirements for funds. For the month of August these outside applications amounted to only
 $S9, 4,800, or a reduction of no less
 than $96, 200 comparing with the corresponding month of last year. For the eight months of the calendar year
 which have thus far elapsed the ap- pltcations have amounted to S944,- 517, 500, or decrease of $323 ,8S0. 700 compared with the corresponding pe- riod of 1917. There also is to be noted a marked reduction in the ere ation of new enterprises after the ac- 1 tivity in this direction which accom- panied the demand for war material
 such as could be supplied by corpor-
 ations devoted to shipping affairs, to | chemicals munitions, oil and gas, etc. I For the month of August the capital | of new companies organized in the
 Eastern States was $144,7S6, 1000, fig
 ures which compare with $462,061,- ,- | 900 in August a year ago.
 The crops are not making quite as
 desirable a showing as was indicated
 by the highly favorable conditions | current earlier in the season. Els | pecially was last weeks report by the | Department of Agriculture on the
 cotton crop disappointing, showing as
 1t did reduction to 55.7 in condition 1 from the preceding month of 73.6 and
 indicating a crop of 11,137,000 bales,
 or 4,O68,000 bales less than was fore
 cast at the beginning of the season.
 However, the grain crops are still l we'll above the average and consider
 ing the extremely high prices that
 farmers are receiving for their pro- | ducts it is obvious that we are to have
 another year of remarkable prosperity
 in the agricultural sections of the
 country.
 The stock market is presenting a very substantial undertone in response
 to the excellent character of the wal | news. AS already shown however
 the scarcity of banking accommoda- ton is acting as direct restraint
 against the development of activity.

SENATOR BURTON BOOMING TO SPEAK AT PARK RALLY
Will Address People of Bridgeport at Beardsley

Former Senator Theodore E.

 Mrs. Susan Hawley Davis whose ability as a contralto soloist Is so well ! known in Bridgeport as to need no commendation, will sing, and there will be community singing led by a
 male chorus under the direction of Alvin c, Breul.
 During his terms in Congress former Senator Burton yielded a tremendous influence, being chairman Of the ap-
 propriations committee for years and house leader. He was a member o1 the house from 1889 to 1891 and from 1895 to 1909, when he resigned to CT 2 ter the senate where he remained un-
 til 1915, ... s.. Connecticut favored his nomination
 for President in 1915 and most of it' 1. votes in the Republican national con venaon were cast for him. Incl dentally Senator Burton Is one of th' country's best orators.

DR. COLBY TO
 PREACH TONIGHT
 AT M. E. CHURCH
Will Address Revival on "Who is Crazy" at New
 field M. E. Church.

The revival services at the New field Methodist church being con- ducted by the William A. Sunday Evangelistic Association of New York are increasing in interest and power. W. W. Colby, D. D., of East Orange, N. J., is making a strong appeal to his hearers in his nightly sermons. Last evening he spoke on What Think Ye of Christi" He showed that a mans opinions about anything can be changed only by appealing to his reason, showing him better way. Most people do not know even the name of the historian they studied in echool that told of George Washing ton, and yet they do not question that Washington lived. The Bible declares that Jesus Christ lived and died for men. What think ye? The greatest sin is to reject Christ
 Tonight Dr. Colby breaches on Who Is Crazy?" This sermon has aroused the deepest interest wherever Dr. Colby has given 1t. Tomorrow night Rev. John L. Davis, "the Oklahoma Cyclone" will speak.
