COUNTRY CONTINUES
VERY PROSPEROUS

'Despite the discouragements
which have presented themselves In
International Matters" says the Hen
rT Clews review for the past week,
"and Notwithstanding the delays in
me adjustment of domestic indus
Trial conditions, prosperity continues
at full tide throughout the country"
The United States is the chief if
not the only source to which foreign
countries must turn for assistance in
the reconstruction process, a fact
tally attested by authoritative utter
anees, both Of English and American
financiers during the recent past.
Continued activity Of business and
the keeping up of production to the
highest point with the resultant eff
fects upon wages and prices would
seem to be the order of the day for
some time to come.
Recent business and industrial de-
yelopments have been largely of a
negative description. 1t would seem
likely that should negotiations be-
tween the miners and the coal opera
tors prove Intellectual some form of
government intervention might be
necessary in order to relieve the coal
shortage which is so seriously inter-
fering with productions in the Middle
Western plants and elsewhere.
Pending the definite decision as to
n policy on this matter the uncer-
tainty produces but little influence on

for the most part, discouraging with
iregularity and lower prices for
many of the leading industrial and
railroad issues.
Bonds also showed a lower ten
dency owing partly to the advancing
tendency of interest dates. Some in
vestment buying in the more attrac-
tive issues has been an interesting
feature of the weeks history.
Shrewd buyers are looking with
particular interest to the railway
shares as a probable feature of the
market during the coming weeks. The
return of the railroads to their own
ers will bring about, it is likely, a
considerable Encouragement Of the
values; stronger lines after the dis
continuance of government control
tending to reach higher level, while
the weaker roads may shrink still
further. Government protection of
railroad incomes is not likely to be of
such a nature as to stabilize the re-
turns of the strong and weak lines
alike.
Despite the fact that immediate
prospects are necessarily more or
less uncertain, the readjustments in
prices has rendered not a few solid
issues attractive to buyers and in
vestment purchasing has been con-
siderably in evidence of late.-Lex-
ington Leader.

INDUSTRIES COVERED
BY C0AL-SAviN6 ORDER

The order of the Southern Re.
gional Coal Company governing The
use of fuel follows:
Electric signs and electric display
advertisements are eliminated.
All industries except public ultil-
tiles and plants engaged IN continu-
Gus processes that cannot be cur
tailed limited to forty-eight hours
operation per week.
Stores and office buildings to use
light, heat or power only between 9
A. NJ, and 4 p. NJ.
Theaters, moving, picture shows
and other public amusement places
may use light and power from 1 to
1890 P. M.
The exceptions to the ruling are:
Drug stores for the sale of drugs
only.
Restaurants, diaries and bakeries
to operate in accordance with sched-
ules in effect at present, with the ex-
eeption that restaurants and drug
stores must cut light fifty per cent.
Barber shops may open from A.
NJ. to P. M.
Stores selling food or clothing may
use light, heat or power to O'clock
Saturday night. They observe the
hours stated above on other days.
Railroad stations, hospitals, tele-
phone and telegraph companies and
newspapers are exempted from the
closing hours ruling.
Stores and office building may
turn on heat two hours before the
opening time in the morning, and the
temperature may not go above 20.
degrees.

market conditions because of the fact
that most Of the elements in the
problem have been thoroughly dis
counted in advance. Important in its
effect upon railroads and their pros
poets has been the renewed wage ad-
vance policy of the administration.
The fact that such great advances
could be announced with little more
than sixty days of the time the roads
are to return to their owners has
been taken by some as an unfavor-
able indication, because of the belief
that the action would corresponding
ly impair the income producing power
of the roads.
The more far sighted view, how
ever, regards this step as another
pledge on the part of the govern
ment to protect the financial condi-
tons of the lines since on no other
basis could it be supposed to be
warranted in doing what it has thus
undertaken only abont g. month be-
fore the roads pass out of It's hands.
Undoubtedly the month of D Gem
Der will be of first class Importance
in many ways affecting the market
since it should see some definite adj
justment of the coal situation as
well as at least a tentative settle
ment of the financial problems of the
roads. Confidently expecting such an
outcome, business throughout the
country has continued Unexpectedly
active.
