WOODROW WILSON
1 The re-election of Woodrow Wil
ton it great victory for the people
of the United Statei and a blow at
Wall street methods and special priv
ileges. He deserves the honor, and is es
pecially needed at this time, in the
midst of a' great crisis, for he has
shown that he can be trusted. The
great work he has begun has not been
completed, and he it needed to fin
ish it
One of the three greatest of Ameri
can presidents, his-st.itesmanship is of
a high order, backed by a clean per
sonal life.
' In the emergencies of a wonderful
era, fraught with danger on every
side, this country is fortunate in hav
- ing President Wilson at the helm.
DUNN OPTIMISTIC
Don: Neither the pending elec
tions, nor the persistent rise of prices
have perceptibly reduced the moment
um of the business movement Ac
tivity continues unabated at a time
when more or less hesitancy is usual
ly witnessed, and it remains a wonder
that with costs mounting steadily, and
in many cases rapidly, demands are
sustained in such great volume. New
buying for current and forward re
quirements stilt outstrips the facilities
for both production and distribution,
labor conditions and the growing scar
city of materials acting as a brake on
manufacturing in many directions. Car
shortages are also a hindrance and the
consequent restriction of fuel supplies
causese some concern among indus
trial interests. With shipments gen
erally backward and the 'trend of
prices ; continuing strongly upward,
producers display greater reluctance
in eztendng commitments farther in
to the future and an increasing num
ber of profitable contracts are being
rejected. Yet, even with much busi
ness of necessity held in abeyance,
bank clearinks make a phenomenal
. exhibit and are 39.0 per cent larger
this week at leading centers outside
New Ybrk than a year ago, though
part of the grain is obviously due to
the high prices. As many expected, a
farther striking rise has occurred in
iron, fuel, hides, leather and in other
important lines, and of the 331 whole-
tale commodity quotations regularly
compiled by Dun's Review, 86 show
advance this week and 14 declines.
The extreme living costs not unnat
urally cause some restriction of buy
ing and, by many, luxuries are pur
cahsed sparingly, yet, on the whole,
consumption is maintained in remark
able volume and in the aggregate re
tail trade is of record dimensions,
though the weather has not been fa
vorable to the best results in some
sections.
It it significant of the times that
the failure record continues highly
encouraging. Prosperity in trade and
. industry makes for greater prompt
fless in the settlement of financial ob
ligations and business reverses are
,- relatively moderate, in spite of the
increase in new: enterprises. During
October there were 86 more strictly
commercial defaults than in the short
er month of September, 1,240 against
1,154, but fewer insolvencies occurred
than in any October since 1912, and it
is necessary to go back month by
month to May, 1910, to find an in
debtedness smaller, than the $10,800,
000 just reported. Compared with last
year, the numerical reduction is 3S9
and the contraction in amount about
$15,000,000, or nearly 60 per cent in
the latter case. An interesting feature
of the present returns is the small
number of large suspensions, there
being only 13 for $100,000 or more,
involving less than $2,300,000 alto
gether. This it the best exhibit for
October in over a decade. , .
Extravagant predictions of the Steel
Corporation's earnings were not real
ized, though another new high rec
ord was established. The total for the
third quarter, $85,800,000 net, was well
below the highest estimate, but was
$4700,000 larger than in the three
preceding months and $25,000,000
greater than in the first quarter. Each
month of the nine, excepting July,
showed a progressive rise in revenue,
and the July decrease, $2,500,000, was
apparently due mainly to adverse
working conditions. It was more than
made up in August, while the Sep
tember figures were wholly unpre
cedented at over $30,400,000, or half
at much as the total for the entire
' first quarter. Comparisons with other
years have lost interest, but it is sig
nificant, as illustrating the remark
able prosperity of the steel industry,
that the earnings for the quarter re
cently ended were not far from dou
ble those of the second quarter of
1907 the high point prior to the out
break of the war.
