Finance, RealE,$tatea and Insurance

By our exports of grain and meats we have effectually prevented a disas- trous famine in Europe; our armies hastened the defeat of Germany; our ship convoy system 1essened subma- rine losses; our munition plants re- leased millions of the Allies for fight ing purposes; our ships carried SUD- plies safely across; our banks aided finance the war; we furnished great quantities of oil, copper, cotton and other materials to the Allies, and our government placed the entire forces of this powerful nation whole heartedly upon their side. When the history of the World War is fully written, 1t will be recognized without stint that without American help in men, money and materials the war would not have been won.
 Assisting Recovery Abroad.
 An interesting development of the week was removal of the embargo upon gold shipments, an encouraging g evidence of the drift toward normal conditions. In some quarters consid- erable shipments of gold are antici- pated, and within reason such an out ward movement would be beneficial, both to ourselves and other countries alike. We hold much the largest gold resources in the world, and much more than necessary for our own re- quirements or safety. If a. portion of our supply was held by our Allies it would aid materially in their eco- homie restoration, through which we should immediately and widely bene- fit Of course some efficient method of granting credit to Europe will have to be devised and this problem is al- ready receiving the careful attention of our experts. Sweden has just se- cured a s25,000, 900 loan in this coun- try, and Switzerland is also seekin g S25,OOO,OOO. Transactions of this character are sure to multiply in the early future, because only through such forms of credit can Europe ob- tain the immense supplies of food and raw materials from the United States which are necessary to her recupera-
 ton. There is no doubt whatever that the war-torn countries are in a deplorable condition mentally and financially, and that their industries snd commerce cannot be restored as
 they should be without generous help
 of the most practical character that
 we can possibly give. France and Belgium are entitled to our first sym pathy. They have suffered beyond imagination, but will quickly recuper- ate with adequate and intelligent aid. Italy comes next. Great Britain ap- pears to be quite able to take care of l herself and has already made a not able start on the road to recovery. Russia is in a bad way, but Bo1she- vism is clearly on the decline and ere long that disrupted empire will also begin its process of restoration. As for our enemies, we may even find it necessary to help them get on their feet commercially; for an impoverish- ed Germany can never pay indemni- ties. and permanent ruin of Germany would not be of least benefit to the United States: in fact, a prosperous

outside of the stock market are quite as favorable as before the reaction, but whether the decline has run its course or not events only can deter mine. The money market is a serious obstacle to any prolonged rise. Stocks had been heavily overbought, and it is doubtful if liquidation is yet complete. At any rate, there are now two sides to the stock market. Not much stim- u1us can be expected from the money market. Transactions running from 1 F to million shares per day re- quire very considerable sums at cur- rent prices to finance them. Our gov- ernment is still a huge borrower and will so continue for months to come. Any operations that come into con-
 1ict with national requirements are likely to meet with scant considera- uon. Other nations are also coming here for credit, and their demands will have to receive legitimate atten- tion. The demand for money for new enterprises will also increase; so that there is sure to be a strong demand for funds at good rates for some time to come. Needless to say the diff culties of conducting a bull campaign will grow unless accompanied by fre- quent liquidation such as experienced last week. The outlook therefore is for continued activity on the Stock Exchange; but more frequent ups and downs, and perhaps sharper ones than marked the first leg of the advance, which began last April and lasted with slight interruption until the first week in June. More careful discrimi- nation will be needed in all financial actions in such 8 period as the present.

HENRY CLEWS'
 WEEKLY LETTER
Slow Progress at Paris.

The Peace Treaty has been made public and furnished no surprises. De- lay in signing is disappointing. but beyond question the Germans will sign; appeals from a nation that never practiced mercy having no ef- feet upon those who have suffered so cruelty. Progress on the League of Nations is also slow, and efforts in the Senate to interfere with negotiations have met with scant sympathy among thoughtful Americans. That some internal friction exists at Paris Is quite evident, and appears to be largely due to French fears of future German invasion, also Italian ambi- tions on the Adriatic. Both countries are indulgfng fears that have very remote foundation. The German Elm pire has been literally smashed, and its power for harm destroyed for gen. erations to come by the heavy loss of territory, population and resources; not to speak of the League of Nations whose power Germany Is not likely to provoke. Italy also has no further reason to fear Austria, so that both France and Italy can afford to make concessions that would secure prompt establishment of the league. MT. Will sons return to the United States would quickly follow, and is much needed. The new Congress is hard at work, having already passed greatly needed appropriation bills, made par tial provision for the railroads and economized considerably on army and navy appropriations. all of which are steps in the right direction.
 America's Part In the War.
 America has saved the world from the threat of famine, also the intensi- fled horrors that would have trailed after such a calamity. The June re- port of the Department of Agriculture indicated a total wheat crop of l. 236,000,000 bushels, which though somewhat below the expectations of a month ago is more than 100000, 900 bushels greater than the previous re- cord crop of 1915. The decline for the month was attributed to rust and climatic conditions. It was not serious and will probably leave a surplus for export of 600,0OO.0O0 bushels to sat- isfy tho hunger of Europe, whose pro- ductive abilities have been grieviously impaired by war and loss of man power. This great crop is distinctly of s2.26 a bushel: the promise of fla vorable weather conditions and the fact of a large increase in acreage The wheat belt will gain enormously by this government bonus. Prosperity will unquestionably be widely distri- buted in the agricultural districts through the enormous foreign de- mand upon us for all food supplies.
