The final week ef a memorable year 'In the annals of the world's financial markets effected no change of moment In the conditions recent ly exUtlng on the Stock Exchange, apart from record-breaking sales of liberty bonds, mostly at lowest quotation yet established. This condition, generally accepted as a temporary or pausing phaae, in no way dis turbed the confidence of those captalna of finance and industry, who believe this country Is destined to occupy a position of greater Importance and power tn the far reaching period of reconstruction. Various theories popularly advanced by economists that the United States, no leas than Its co-belligerents, will have to bear Its share of the war a financial burdens for many years, seem to be neutralised by the country's enormous credits and gold hold ings, as well as supplies of raw materials. lomestlc basic conditions are regarded as eminently- sound, but labor problems ans readjustment of prices' of essential com modities press for Increased recognition, as Is evidenced by the pause In the steel and Iron trades.
