by far the best of tho season and

It Is very doubtful If 1'nlon hooks

next year. It seems to be the opln-i
Inn that the public will not sup
port this kind of entertainment,
enpeclully at the prices which must
be charged In order for the local
committee, to- come out' even. It
was hoped that tho final attraction,
which conslslerl o( two vocalists, q

most experienced observers, how-,
evor. do not believe the highest
prices have yet been reached and
givb for their reasons the Jmprov-

favorable conditions exist yet there
Is another Impending development
which may be even a greater fac
tor than any of thes ementloned. ;
I have in mind the probability of
a number nf'consolidations among
tho industrials, as well as the, rail -rOadw,
during l!J2f. If tho market
has already 'discounted these con
solidations, then It may be around
top prices; lull otherwise many

lowed by ft third era of consolida
tions. This time railroads were
prominent. Thn next great . de
pression came In the !iiin at 1 lie

Tills culminated wi!h the Hpaiiish
American war and was followed
bv I he first consolidation era of
thn Industrials, It was in (his pe
riod that Ihe United Hlates Steel

company. American Woolen com
pany nnd various other Industrials
were put together. In conjunction
with Ihese consolidations (he mar
ket rose to great heights culmin
ating In UMifl. In (his study it la
interesting to note that these eras!
have occurred about twenty years
apart, or one to each generation, j
Therefore, as far as statistics aro :
concerned, we, are. on this twenty j
year basis, ready for. another era
of such consolidations, although I
do not give this as my reason for
feeling that Biith an era Is now
approaching.,, v
K sponsion Verlod) Ttcsitlts.
"Tho real reason for such con
solidations is that during n, period
of prosperity a largo number of
new concerns,. In every line of
h illness, spring up, old concerns
expand, and almost every Industry
becomes Inflated and spreads out.
This results- In a total producing
tfaiMiclby In excess of normal de
munds. .During tho depression
which occording'to tho law of ac
tion and reaction is bound In fol
low each industry gets into a
poKlllon where It Is making no
money, and Is subject to cut throat
competition. Tlie only way out 'Is
to reduce overhead, eliminate un
necessary competition, and pro
duce nnd sell economically. This

can be accomplished only through
consolidations which, when prop
erly consummated, reduce the
cost both of manufacturing und
selling. There Is no reason why
jthe present yeur should bo un ex
ception .to tho rule. History la
bound to repeat Itself, and the
stage Is now set in utmost all In
dustries for such consolfdutions. It
Is true that bunk clearings are
higher toduy und that a greut
quuntlty of goods are being con
sumed, but the average manufac
turer Is now making little profit
owing to the bigh cost of manu
facturing und selling. This condi
tion cannot continue indefinitely
and, If such consolidations do not
take place, then the weak concerns
will bo eliminated through bank
ruptcy. Hull Consolidations Seen
"Of course consolidations of the
railroads Is now being anticipated
by all. Itoth the government and
the security owners are united
upon the need for such combina
tion. Tho main thing blocking
these railroad consolidations seems
to be tlm fear of . certain railroad
officials, attorneys, anil specialists
who may lose their Jobs us a re
sult. However, I hose consolida
tions are Inevitable and the uctlon
of the rails on the stock exchange
Is now discounting thern. Con
solidations amongst the Industrials,
however, are Just -as surely ahead
of us. This will be accelerated
by foreign competition. Personal
ly I do not fear foreign competi
tion bo fur, as the next year or two
Is concerned, as It will take V: ti
ro ne some lime to get organized in
dustrially so that it can Hhlo low
cost goods in large M'lantH les. The
real foreign competition wilt come
three to five years from now; and
when this conies, It will come with
a vengeance, Wise are those
manufacturers who refuse to wait
hut who now get together ami pre
pare for it by reducing overhead,
lowering costs on ma nu fact uring.
and by developing efilehyii sale
organizations abroad as well as at
home.
