A Good New Year's Resolution Trade at THE ROSEBURG ROCHDALE STORE Dry goods and groceries In Its review of the ImisIiiprs year lust closed, Bradstreet b reKrt pla ces 1909 au one of Ihe most remark able years of a decade that has Been i?reat changes and wonderful prog ress. "For one thing," says the re port, 'It witnessed processes of recti- neration and carried to a triumphant ly successful conclusion. Also while it will probably not be classed as a boom year, it saw many records of financial and industrial achlevLMiients exceeded, and at its close, two years after a world wide financial panic, the proKreas made has been so great that many of the soars made has been effaced, and the country seems to have been placed (n a stronger po sition than It ever before occupied." After calling attention to the fact that tariff revision added an element of uneasiness in business circles ear ly In the year and that the events of 1909 tended to confirm earlier Im pressions that ths great collapse of 1907 was a purely financlnl affair, the report takes up the results of the year in trade as follows: The crops of the year, taken as a whole, were r.)undant, though few of them broke the best records of the past. Yields of foodstuffs were large, wheat and corn showing next to rec ord production, and yields of oats, rice, sugar, potatoes and tobacco 'broke all records, while uotton and hay fell off from the level yields of the preceding year. The high prices; ruling, however, placed the aggregate; returns to the farmer at points never j before reached. While ease of money no dojbt helped toward encouraging speculation in commodities, the high records of prices at time of heaviest movement showed demand waiting closely on supply, If indeed not act-j ually surpassing it, nnd this, too, in a year when, owing to high prices of I -ir fooastuns, foreign demand was conspicuously small and exports fell below those of the three preceding 'ears. . Large imports previous to tariff re vision wore partly, no doubt, due to a desire to anticipate this legislation, but the record breaking arrival of foreign goods, not all of them raw. materials for manufacture, in the late fall, swelling the country's import rade to unprecedented totals, indi cates, an expansion. Iron ore and copper broko all records, while that of pig iron equaied the best,' and building expenditures showed a phe nomenal gain over 1908, even sur passing 1006. Business failures de creased 15.7 per cent from 1908. though exceeding"! 907 by 18 per cent and liabilities were less thnn half those of 190S nnd only anout 40 per cent of 1907, while 17 per cent in excess of 1906. Bank clearings tes tified to tho expansion In nil lines In a gain of 25 per cent over 1908 and of 14 per cent over 1907, and even exceeded the record year of 1906 by over 3 per cent. The tide of immi gration, which turned In U08, flowed strongly toward this country. Except for very slight reactions In he spring of the year, the course of commodity values may be said to have been steadily upward throughout the venr, and, indeed, ever since the low point wa3 reached following the 1907 08 depression on June 1 of the lntter year. The Index number on Decem ber 1, 1909, was almost Identical with that touched on March 1. 1907. In fact prices went from their highest to their lowest of roc?nt years In a year and n quarter and rallied again to their highest in a year and a half, The level prices on' .December 1 of this year was 1 1 per cont above that of the same date In 1908; was, ns above shown, even with the high rec ord of March, 1, 1907; was nearly 20 per cut nbove the low level of July 1. 1 904, and 12 per cenc above the high level of December I, 190:!, be fore the panic of 1903. The yenr's stock market wiinnssfd a continuance of tho recovery started in 1908. Throughout - 1909 Wall street showed a tendency to discount Improved trade and Industry. Politi co? factors were less prominent than in 190S, the now tariff and the cor poration tax ceasing to effect senti ment before enactment. In actMf! 1909, compared with the preceding year, stork iransnlinna nt the Nw York Ptock excfn,", aggregating 210,000.000 sharoq, pgiiinut 1SP.0CO, 000 In 1908. The .l 'ftlirgs vrv.rn, ns a whole, howfver, nire professional nnd manipulative. The market ends the year witji a 'Millish undertone, but the high price levels dis count excellent act mil nnd prospective earnings and dividends, and income returns are nt rather unattractive fig ures. Bonds, which early showed un precedented activity, with a record to tal value of $1,312,000,000, later In the year fhowed a quieting of demand and declining tendencies, save in purely speculative I fit ties.
