This adds " to 100000
credit extensions-for a grand
total of more than $18,114,OO0,-

by less than half Of the country's
banks. If the remaining banks
had a similar experience, and
there is every reason to believe
they did, total loans in the six
months period reached the astro-
nomic figure of arly forty-five

life. No bank refuses a loan be-

seems little likelihood that more
major strikes will occur soon
Interesting sidelight on the Crys
Ter trouble is that, according to
Business Week, it cost employees
$4,000, 900 in pay checks, to say
nothing of the millions lost to
the corporation in sales.
There has been an increase in
our exports. This has confound-
ed some economists, who thought
that application of the Neutrali-
ty Act would hit our foreign
trade hard. October foreign sales
passed $4,000, O0O-14 per cent
better than in the month before,
and 18 per cent better than in
October, 1888. AS it is to be eX-
pected, our trade with the fight
ing countries has dwindled, but
this has been more than made
up by an increased appetite on
the part of neutrals for Ameri-
car machinery, metals, chemic-
ais, textiles, etc. Biggest jump
has taken place in sales to Latin
America. Japan has also increas-
ed her buying materially, but
this is probably due to the fact
that our commercial treaty with
Nippon, which this government
denounced some months ago, ex
pires in January.
| AS this column forecast when
war began, the belligerent ma
lions are not spending money
here on anywhere near the scale
some optimists predicted-and
have cut purchases of some
luxury commodities, such as
tobacco, very sharply. All the
beleagured powers are conserv-
ing their foreign exchange to
the utmost. Our trade with Ger
many has all but disappeared.
Economists are talking now
about how long this trend will
continue. No one thinks it can
go on indefinitely at its present
! rate, and the general forecast
calls for a leveling off after the
hrst of the year. But opinion also
holds that there will be no
sharp drop-that the industrial!
average for 1910, even though
it is a presidential election year,
should be materially better than
the 1889 average.
The stock market mas behaved
curiously-there has been but
little activity, ard prices for Sc
curities have not kept pace with
the progress and profits of the
corporations they represent. A
reasonable explanation seems to
be h a t the market fears the
potential decline that may take
place in 1910. Practically all Of
the experts think that prices are
too low.
