FINANCIAL NEWS
AND COMMENT
Big Crops Will Do More Than
Anything Else to Advance
Nations Business.
STRIKERS CURB INDUSTRY
Movement Toward Prosperity
Seems Assured as Soon as
Labor Troubles Cease.

Although there was further slowing
down last week In industry and business
generality due largely to the uncertein-
ties created by the two big strikes. de-
velopments which made their appear
ance last week were Of character cal
culated to restore confidence in the
future.
With glowing reports of bumper crops,
big advances in railroad earnings, an
other substantial improvement In the
credit position and other similarly con-
structive features revealed there were
plain indications that the trade and in
dustry of the nation were only temper
arily restive under the restraint imposed
by the railroad and coal strikes and that
with the removal Of these obstacles they
would bound ahead to prosperity.
Perhaps the outstanding feature OF
the week was the extraordinary report
on crops which, while by no means the
largest on record. were beyond all ex-
pectations. If there is single thing
which will do more than anything else
to aid the advancement of the business
Of the nation 1t is just s,ich a crop yield
as the agricultural sections OF the coun-
try will receive this year.
Big Funds for Crop Movement.
In connection with this years harvest
the question Of credit is one of extreme
satisfaction. 1t is not likely that under
existing circumstances the reaping and
movement Of the crop will prove any
strain on the financial system. In fact.
the early credit demands of the harvest
seem to have been handled by members
of the Federal Reserve system almost
entirely from their own reserves and
indications are>that whatever temporary
call may be made upon the central In
stitutions for aid will be OF little import.
1t has not often happened in the past
that a great harvest could be handled
with little disturbance In the world OF
| finance.
The position OF the Federal Reserve
system never was stronger, perhaps
than it is now. Cash reserves aggregate
| $3.202, 2,177. 900 and the excess Of reserves
over legal requirements stands around
! s1.700. 900. 900. The ratio Of reserves to
note and deposit liabilities, standing at
| so.4 per cent, Is the highest In five
years. Notwithstanding the expansion
of business there has been contraction
OF redscounts. indicating the extent to
which member banks have been able tc
handle all demands upon them without
resorting to the rediscount privilege.

for ouartermaster Base site

A suit against the Government for
81 900 900. one Of the largest claims

Judge Dickinson.
The Greenwich Real Estate Company

land. which the real estate COM
pany says was worth $1,000, 900. was
taken over by the Government and a

The Board Of Appraisers Of the War
Department fixed the value Of the land
at S295. .4S5, but the company refused

value was brought about through the
expenditure of $4,000, 900 by the
Government.
