New York, Dec. 30.-Stock and bond
prices generally closed the year at
materially higher levels, which is not
only a reflection Of the marked in

By conservative New York banking
interests as still further prosperity
during the coming year
The year closes with conditions fav-
orable for a further appreciation of
commodity and security prices, in the
opinion of the security and financial
community.
Unfavorable political and economic
developments abroad are considered
1neat OF business, which began in the
unllner OF 1921 and continued through
out the present year.
The prediction OF further business
prosperity is based on several well
known facts. Foremost among these
is the easiness of the money market
and the huge sums available fer cred
its. In addition most stocks are low,
railroad traffic is close to record lev
els, exports are increasing, the prin-
clpal European exchanges are head
ing back to par and the European eco
nonlic situation shows signs of i'm
proving, and the untitled orders for
railroad equipment are the largest in
years.
Other signs are seen in the fact that
no big strikes are seen or pending,
much construction work is in arrears,
despite a record breaking year in the
building industry, automobile industry

will be exceeded next year, gasoline
