The most serious blow of all is the
report of national revenue for the
first six months of this year. It re-
veals decrease in excess profits duty
of $1OO,OO0,OOO.
Add to these financial troubles the
| rioting in Ireland, the secession
movement in South Africa, the rebel
lion in Mesopotamia and half dozen
small wars, and you will see that the
storm is dangerous enough.
So far the storm has been wealth
ered-that is the main fact to report.
AS yet nothing of any consequence
has been blown down. Plenty Of
chimney pots have been tipped over,
but no houses.
Mr.. Carson expresses the opinion
that the British are in anticyclonic
people; that no matter how bad the
strain, the cid ship will keep off the
rocks.
But why does not somebody suggest
to the British that in such an emer-
gency they save their liquor bill?
Bishop McCabe Of the old days told
the railroad men that they could own
the American railroads in seven years
if they would put Americas liquor
bill into the purchase. Britain could
pay for the war in few years Of alb
stinence.
And how much better off the people
would be; how much decenter living
would be; how many happier families
there would be; how many jails would
be closed and warehouses; and infirma-
ries.
The amount actually spent for Ii
quor is not half the cost of the liquor
traffic. 1t costs more to care for the
effect Of liquor than to buy the liquor
Europe could pay it's debts and come
back from the war in 10 years if it
would save its liquor bill.

expressed as to price trends it is of
ten remarked that there must be a
departure from the 1913 standard.
The consumer must begin to think
in terms Of a new and high price Level
The conclusion that the general price
level will be as high as compared with
1913 is held despite recent declines in
particular products, like clothing,
dry goods, flour, grain and leather.
The downward trend in weakening
commodities is to be taken only as an
item in the process of readjuStment
which may bring prices considerably
below present or recent standards and
still leave them high in relation to the
1913 standard.
CAS- to economy and the general
disposition Of the people to recant the
riot of extravaganza, opinion is almost
exactly divided; half said the people
were disposed to economic and half
saw no signs Of any such thing.
Fear Of anything that could be
called a panic or d crisis was nowhere
manifested If there were a precipi-
tate decline in the general price level,
the country would be confronted by
cumulative crop of business failures.
No such decline is expected.
reports from bankers are without
variation that credit will continue to
be tight and interest rates high
"The coal problem is a very real
one. Most consumers have enough to
prevent suspension of operations, but
have no surpluses. The question of
coal supply will probably be Of all but
vital Importance for many months. If
there are no further troubles with la
Dor, the situation will clear only
the transportation problem clears"

What Do the Banks
Say about Prevail
ing Conditions

There are probably any number of
| writer's in every industry who are
writing articles regarding the present
| conditions affecting the markets on
every commodity. They make state
ments of facts covering the particular
commodity they are most familiar
with, and a great many of them make
predictions as to what they believe
will happen during the next year or
more. These predictions vary. de
pending largely OH the difference in
prevailing conditions affecting that
particular commodity, md their in
dividual ideas on the subject.
We could write such an article, and
it woud probably be as accurate as
any Of them, but instead We are 60
ing to quote a statement made by the
Continental and Commercial National
Bank of Chicago. This information
was compiled from reports given by
the banks several thousand CORES
pOndents all over the country, and
should give viewpoint entirely diff
fercnt and impossible to secure in any
other way.
"Dcspite discussions about prices
and predictions that the country is
working toward much lower price
levels, there is little to confirm an
early realization Of this view. Prices
may soften a little here and there
but there Is nothing in the reported
underlying conditions which affect
prices to indicate anything like
marked recession.
There is a general disposition to
measure prices by the standards that
obtained before the war. The last nor
nal year was 1913. In the opinions
