deliverance from the uncertainties growing out of the politioitl situation wbioh is so perplexingly confused by the senseless issues Into which a largo por- tion of onr farmers have been misled Moreover there bancs over the country a marked probability that within the next thrae years tho country may be started upon an Important change ot commercial policy whioh is a question Involving more or less directly every In- terest whether industrial mercantile or financial and which considering the differences of opinion on tho question must produce a good deal of ferment and hesitation of enterprise It is also a matter upon which an important class of people will wnit for future light as to whether the New York banks are likely to remain subject to the severe periodic monetary druins which have become an Increasingly disturbing element for the last three years and which are disqualifying the banks from adequately meeting large local re- quirements In short the Impres- sion is becoming quite general that the enterprise of the country is gaining at a rate much more rapid than the financial facilities upon which it is dependent aud this impression is calculated to promote caution in all undertakings requiring large credit support Indeed it is one peculiarity of the future of the stock market that It will have to deal not only with the latter effeots of the crisis and with an uncertain situation In the great railroad interest but that we ar9 enter- ing upon an era which will require some considerable experimenting iu the way of extending ami Improving the instru- mentalities for transacting business and this probability is confirmed by the fact that the late crisis if not largely caused by was certnluly much aggravated through tho Imperfeotion of suoh ar- rangements In view of so many impor- tant contingencies affecting the future It seems reasonable to anticipat that speculation may have to encounter many influences of an unusual character it Is not Impossible however that those In- fluences may prove the ocoasion of wide fluctuations In stocks and thcreforo a stimulus to activity on the stock ex- change the more so as suoh a state of things would be calculated to enlist long heads and long purses The considerations nbovo mentioned mainly relate to the future of the mar- ket some however are already begin- ning to affect the present esoecialiy those connected with current legislation The immediate course of business will be chiefly dependent on the investment de- mand usually Incident to the opening of the year Ordmurlly the effect of that demand Is anticipated so that when It actually comes prices are little uffecte- dIhlsyear however there has not been the usual prospective buving and as It is estimated that about 120000GOO will be disbursed early in January in interest and dividends much of which will be reinvested it seems reasonable to expect a trmer feeling aud some recovery in prices early next month Money

The greatest improvement In the South during the past decade has been in man- ufactures ¬ It was mainly an agricultural country at the end of the war although it had every advantage for numerous manufactures Slavery rendered this inevitable for slave labor was illsuited for tho factories aud moreover agri- culture ¬ made such good returns that other lines of business were at a dis- count ¬ After the war the South lucked capital good transportation facilities and labor For the capital It bud to look elsewhere to a large extent It Is true thnt it bad some capital with which it built up many smaller industries but generally money was scarce in these days and enterprises which promised well and would have succeeded with sufficient backing failed for lack of It- Iloginning nbout 1875 some Northern capital was placed In the South Most of it nt first went into railroads but fac- tories ¬ soon secured somu of it As early as 1870 the New York Herald esti- mutej that Northern capital was being invested in the South nt the rate of 525000000 a year Beginning about 1883 soon alter the Piedmout exposition at Atlantn whioh attracted a number of Northern capital- ists ¬ to the South and more particularly during the New Orleans exposition of- lo85 which broucht still larger numbers of them in this direction the value of the Souths mineral resources began to- be recognized This was the greutest boom Southern manufactures had There were large purchases of coal and- iron lands the establishment of Iron furnaoes foundries etc and with ibem enme the development of a host of other Industries The lumber business got a boom be- ginning ¬ about 1882 when it became evi- dent ¬ that tho Western tlmbersupply wns running short and that the country would have to depend to a large extent on the wellwooded lands of the South Within a comparatively short pprlod nearly all the United Stales pine lands in the Southwest were purchased by- peculutors as well as large bodies of jfrlvote lands and sawmills sprang up on nil the streams and railroads The great boom in the cottonseed oil business dates from about the same period the cottonseed oil entering into the manufacture of Inrd and coming more generally Into demand Numerous other industries mentioned elsewhere sprang up gradually ex- tended ¬ themselves and proved the ad- vantages ¬ of the South for manufactures TIIE

    sence ot any really sound measures forputting monetary and banking affairsupon a basis of roundness and stabilityIt is also neoessary that there shall besome deliverance from the uncertaintiesgrowing out of the politioitl situationwbioh is so perplexingly confused by thesenseless issues Into which a largo por-tion of onr farmers have been misledMoreover there bancs over the countrya marked probability that within thenext thrae years tho country may bestarted upon an Important change otcommercial policy whioh is a questionInvolving more or less directly every In-terest whether industrial mercantile orfinancial and which considering thedifferences of opinion on tho questionmust produce a good deal of ferment andhesitation of enterprise It is also amatter upon which an important class ofpeople will wnit for future light as towhether the New York banks are likelyto remain subject to the severe periodicmonetary druins which have become anIncreasingly disturbing element forthe last three years and whichare disqualifying the banks fromadequately meeting large local re-quirements In short the Impres-sion is becoming quite general that theenterprise of the country is gaining at arate much more rapid than the financialfacilities upon which it is dependent audthis impression is calculated to promotecaution in all undertakings requiringlarge credit support Indeed it is onepeculiarity of the future of the stockmarket that It will have to deal not onlywith the latter effeots of the crisis andwith an uncertain situation In the greatrailroad interest but that we ar9 enter-ing upon an era which will require someconsiderable experimenting iu the wayof extending ami Improving the instru-mentalities for transacting business andthis probability is confirmed by the factthat the late crisis if not largely causedby was certnluly much aggravatedthrough tho Imperfeotion of suoh ar-rangements In view of so many impor-tant contingencies affecting the futureIt seems reasonable to anticipat thatspeculation may have to encounter manyinfluences of an unusual character it Isnot Impossible however that those In-fluences may prove the ocoasion of widefluctuations In stocks and thcreforo astimulus to activity on the stock ex-change the more so as suoh a state ofthings would be calculated to enlist longheads and long purses

    The considerations nbovo mentionedmainly relate to the future of the mar-ket some however are already begin-ning to affect the present esoecialiythose connected with current legislationThe immediate course of business will bechiefly dependent on the investment de-mand usually Incident to the opening ofthe year Ordmurlly the effect of thatdemand Is anticipated so that when Itactually comes prices are little uffecte-dIhlsyear however there has not beenthe usual prospective buving and as It isestimated that about 120000GOO willbe disbursed early in January in interestand dividends much of which will bereinvested it seems reasonable to expecta trmer feeling aud some recovery inprices early next month
