(By Henry Clews, banker). (Special to Lake County Times . New York. Aug. 11. Throughout the entire country business conditions continue satisfactory. A fine harvest is practically certain; our mills and foundries are running at their fullest capacity; our railroads are enjoying the greatest traff.c in their history; labor is well employed at good wages; there is little cause for serious apprehension about the monetary situation, and on all sides are evidences of tremendous business activity and erowth. Nor is this

movement confined to the I'nited States, although we appear to be enjoying prosperity in a more marked degree than, any other part of the world. Great Britain is reporting a decided expansion in commerce and industry. Similar advices come from France and Germany, especially the latter, which is still in the midst of a great industrial revival, manifesting itself largely in iron and

electric industries. Even Italy is ris-

ng out of a state of coma. But this

is not all; the British colonies, which include a population of over 350,000,000, are exhibiting renewed indusrial and commercial activity. From Canada, Australia, New Zea-

and and India comes the same

story of growing commerce and pros

perity. South of us we find Mexico

showing a wonderful development,

and now the sleepy republics or South America are joining the procession, Argentina apparently lead-

ng. Only Russia and South Africa ag behind. China is awakening and

Japan is making rapid strides. Space

does not permit any elaboration, of causes at this time; but growth of population, the increasing desire for

wealth, the progress of invention,

the adoption of modern methods, the

creation of new industries, the open

ng of new territories, the increase

of products of the soil and the more

rapid development of the world's

mineral supplies, especially the gold

output; all these influences are con

tributing to the great material pro

gress which the civilized world is just now experiencing. That it should

be accompanied by so much social

and political discontent is not to be

wondered at; for, while this may

mean temporary disturbance, it

promises well for the future, ina

much as such aspirations show a de

sire among the people for a more

eauitable distribution of material

wealth than has hitherto been possi ble.
