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
