Tha Iron trade continues to furnish examples of unprecedented activ ity. Since the first of September orders for over 1,000.000 tons of rails hav been placed, ahout 550 locomotives and more than 45,600 cars. This onlj represents a portion of the new activity ln the steel trade as some Of the railroads are b 1 1 i 1 cl i 1. k considerable equipment on their Own account, and the Kteel companies have received large orders for outside construction work; not to mention munition orders. Prices for steel are steadily advancing, and this industry is now enjoying a period of prosoerlty which In some respects surpasses all others oh record. The facts jut cited prove Industrial revival, based at stated !n our previous advices, upon tig crops, abundant money and foreign munition orders. ""hiR activity is already apreRdinsr to various' branches of trade, 'i be textile ?n.lustrieji show a healthy tone, interior mercbanta having; been often caught with comparatively en.pty shelves, which are now being replenished.

RREGULAR TRADE IN NW YORK MARKET AT WEEK'S CLOSING Movement of Prices Erratic but This Was Generally Expected After Recent Break; Market Continues to Show Activity. (Copyright, 1315, by the New York ivenlng Post.) New York, Nov. 20. (U. P.) The . . I Pavement of prices on the stock mar Caiuomla ket was airain lrreirular tiiav ajid was such as is always apt to continue after a breakdown of violent specula tion. Perhaps the most strikinir dif ference between this and other similar pe.r.-ds ln tho past bas been the un willingmess of the present market to relapse into inactivity. The volume of business decreased, yet it was still nearly equal to other active periods. How far this means that tlie recent speculation has been neld in abeyance remains to be seen! An irregular, and in some stocks, a violent downward reaction occurred in the early trading. This affected chief ly the much exploited war stocks, but the rest of the market moved more quietly in the 8ame direction. The weakness ended during the second hour when some quick recoveries ensued. The general market ended with steady, unimportant changes for the day.

America is rapidly rising to an unprecedented prosperity a pros twrity which would have been iiiconeeivai.de a year ago. and which will he enduring; and should not be affected by termination of the Kuropean war. The Idea that the cassation of European hostilities milst affect us adversely Is. I believe, academic. Emigration from the countries now at war will be prohibitive. They will be forced to take this step, because the conflict means an exhaustion of men as well as of treasury. Men will be needed over there as much, if not more, than money. There can be no competition between a country of America' great vigor and infinite resources snd countries that have spent themselves. America ia destined to lead the world commercially and financially in 16 years. The war simply hastened that manifest destiny. For an American to fear the aftermath of the sir appears to me baseless. Ours Is not a war prosperity, although ammunition orders are accelerating trade. Tt is fundamental, and the products of the farm are the basis. We are still largely an agricultural community, and as agri culture prospers, the whole country prospers. The size of our crops and the prices we are securing tor them have nT parallel in the country annals. Wheat is now coming abundantly is bountiful.

The foreign wool situation Is sure to exert a big Influence upon values on American clips during the coming seasons. Just at this time there is much strength with recent price ad vances ln foreign markets. The fol lowing very thorough review of the situation comes by mall from Brad ford, England: Subject to tlie requirements of this country and those of its allies for mil itary purposes being fully met, the British war office has decided to per mit tlie exportation, under license, of English and crossbred wool topa to al lied countries and, on certain condi tions, to neutral countries. In the case of the United States the "certain con ditions" referred to may be taken to mean consignment to the Textile alli ance, and In the case of other neutral countries, consignment to whatever similar oody has been formed for the purpose of giving a watertight guaran tee against reexportation to enemy countries. This concession regarding neutrals Is more than was ushad for, for when the Bradford txnoiters and topmakers first approached the war office on the subject thur proposal was that exportation sliould'be aliowert to allied countries only, which was considered Hie utmost that whs likely to be granted in response to an lnitl:il demand, although it was fully- Intended to press the matter further al a later stage. Crossbred Topa Elgher. InirinK the few days that have elapsed iilce the announcement was made, some large iales of crossbred tops have been effected, and prices ha ye risen a half penny to a penny per pound. The buying has been partly by export houses in anticipation of or ders, and partly by spinners, who have been running iiort of stocks while the market was falling, but who have been on the nui vlve to cover on the fust sign of a lire. The count lies chiefly in nerd of crossored tops air Italy, Holland and Sweden, hut there arc con sidered to lie ex.-clleiit prospects of a s' bsianlial trade with the United btates In connection with the Liverpool Knsl India wool sales, which extend from October i: lo October 2'.', the war trade depi i-t incut announce that tiny will be prepared to consider applica tions for licenses 10 export to the COUNTY AGENTS I Tillamook County.
