BUSINESS REVIEW BY
MARYLAND TRUST CO.
War In Europe Starts
Domestic Business But
War Outlook Vague

The following business review
is given by the Maryland Trust
Co., of Baltimore, in it's January
letter. Trade Trends"
At the close of one year and the
outset of another it is customary
to take inventory, ascertain what
has happened in the II months
just passed, and attempt, in some
measure to visualize what lies
ahead. Because Of the extremely
involved position iii which this
country and the world find them
selves, even stock taking is diff
cult at present Since our domes-
tic situation is likely to be greatly
influenced by developments over
which we as individuals have lit
tie or no control, any forecasts at
tempted at this time regarding
The course of business in the en-
suing months would be fOOlhardy
and probably wide of the actual
results.
Declaration of war in Europe
was the spark which started do
mestic business on the most spec
tacular upward movement expert

record. Between August and De
cember industrial production.
measured by the Federal Reserve
Boards index, had risen by ap-
proximately 80 per cent. The av-
erage for the entire year, however
was about equal to that of 1896
and five per cent under 1887
While indexes representing con-
sumption or ability to consume
have also increased, the gains in
the latter do not nearly equal the
rise in actual output of goods since
September.
The outlook for war business in
this country is still undetermined,

And strange tales are told Of the

For the civil population of
modern power at war, life is dis
located in a thousand WAYS and
not all have to do with privation
or suffering. There are also the
innumerable small interferences
with a familiar pattern of life
The blackout alone has changed
the whole routine of citv activity
after dark. In Birmingham it is
found that lovers are infesting air
raid shelters, much to the distress
of their wardens who are detail
ed to keen them clear except in
actual need. A British tar, home
safely after being summarized and
cast adrift for 25 hours in an open
boat, took walk along an I'M
lighted seewall to stretch his legs
and fell to his death on dock
below.
There is a great deal of having
to do without. or making a substi-
tute do. A button made of pro-
cessed milk instead of bone or
metal, and now much used on
mems clothes. is attractive to rats
and Liverpool citizens arising in
the morning are dismayed to find
no way to hold up their pants.
The badge of the Briton carrying
on. the hard shirt at dinner, may
soon be no more. London laun-
dries report scarcity OF starch.

but so far, except for airplanes,
few large orders have been re-
2eived. There seems to be a gen
eral feeling that we must depend
on domestic markets, even more
than before war began. Therefore
barring larger inventories which
companies are carrying and prob
ably will carry for the duration of
the war, it seems as if more goods
have been produced recently or
are in various stages Of produc-
ton than are likely to be needed
under conditions as they now
exist.
This does not mean that the real
needs of our domestic population
alone are insufficient to permit in
dustrial plants to operate at or
above present levels. Restrictive
measures of all sorts, however,

High Tide of Acti0ity

AS July and August are the high

and February are the peak of So

Through these mid-winter months
people are carrying on host of
activities that give them happi-

Whatever faults the American
people have. there is no danger
that they will stagnate The bears

which will lead to a more com
plete employment of our working
population at real withdrawing
enterprises, the ability to absorb
the products Of industry will re-

probably be little need for plant

1t would seem that we should
spend more effort looking to
greater consumption of the goods

make one think Of the passage O
lime. Wrote Old Isaac Watts:
Time, like an ever rolling stream
bears all its sons away,
They fly forgotten as a dream
dies at the opening day"
Yet when people have lived good
and helpful lives that dream, if
dream it be, lasts a long time in
the tnQries of those touched by
their lives,
Boys and girls say time doesn't
fly fast enough. They look for
ward with longing to the day
when they shall be earning their
own living, dependent on no one,
and not forced to consult any one
as to the things they can do.
When they become older they find
it still difficult to realize that hope
for independence.
AS people surmount the years
one by one, they remember the
old Latin proverb, 'Tempus fugit"
meaning time flies, and they feel
it really does fly, and does not
simply move. Yet these same
people have frequent periods when
life seems dull and they would
like to see the days pass faster. In
winter they long for summer to
come. and when it comes they long
fOr the hot and sweltering days to
be gone.
Some people lament very sadly
over the flight of time, and it
tinges their lives with a constant
melancholy. It is better to fill the
days SO full Of activity that there
is little time for such morbid re-
grets.
Human life is on the march. 1t
was not meant to stand still. And
mankind has faith that the power
that made this marvellous world
makes the destination one of Joy
and accomplishment
