not until June that tha basic Iron and steel
trade began to . show the alms of over
production and diminishing; consumption,
but at the end of tha year production was
computed to be only SO per cent of present
greatly enlarged capacity. The dry good
trade experienced a less violent change In
conditions, but with high eosta of pro
duction, and with an absence of burin
by retailers for other than Immediate ne
cessities, the year was. for both manu
facturer and Jobber, one of diminished ac
tjvlty and narrow profits. The Industrial
and mercantile situation In other lines
was, as a whole, fairly represented by the
conditions prevailing In these two great
branches. By the end of the year, how
ever, the money rmu-ket everywhere dis
played signs of Increasing ease. In spite
of these conflicting but In the main disap
pointing developments, the year presented
a number of encouraging features. Agrl
'eulturally, it was notable for aggregate
farm products In this country of over
IS.OOO.OOO.OOO, with a record-breaking corn
prop of over J,flfl0,000 bushels. Notwithstand
ing the reaction of the past six months a
vast aggregate of transactions was
achieved, and labor on the whole was well
employed at continued high wages, and
building operations were extensive. The
census disclosed an enormous Increaae In
tha population. Signs of Increasing
"economy In living and Increasing prepara
tion for a new advance in enterprise mani
fested themselves. An encouraging de
mand for bonds sprang up at-the close ef
the year. The absence of demoralizing
peculation and . the prevalence of a sound
conservatism were the best safeguards for
the future. Again the bank clearings
proved their right to be regarded as one
:of the best tests of business condition

Yet the total of clearings reached figures
lightly below those of last year, which
were $33,400,000,000 In excess of 190H, so that

products and a reduced yield of wheat.
the farmers of the United States have
gain enjoyed the distinction of being the
world greatest wealth producers, the

1910 having been officially estimated at

For the second time on record, the crop

yet. on the otl.er hand, the principal cereal
crops were worth considerably less than
In the preceding year, although this d -
crepancy was more than offset by the
heavy gain In the value of animal prod
uots. In the case of corn, the area under
cultivation was the most extensive ever
known at 114.002.000 acres, while the ground
given up to wheat waa about 1500,000 acre
In excess of the previous season, althouch
the falling off In spring wheat was greater
than the Increased yield of winter wheat
A new high water mark was established
.on oata, an unprecedented harvest of 1,1.

of SS.JM.OOO, but the yield of barley was
about 1,000,00. bushels smaller than In the
prevloua season, notwithstanding a mod
erate Increase in the acreage. Trices of
wheat and corn declined almoat contin
uously during the last year, option values
' on both products at the opening of De-
cember being almost 20 .cents per bushel
, cheaper than on the corresponding date In
1909,

While some time must elaspe before the
outcome of the cotton crop for 1910-11 can
be definitely known. It I at least cer
tain that the yield will be In excess of
the previous season, and the governnieii
baa estimated the difference at somewha

tremely likely, however, that the margin
will be even greater than this figure be-
rause the latest available ginning returns
how a total In some states almost equal
to the entire allowance for those sections.
The Indicated crop, of course, docs not
fulfill the sanguine expectations enter
tained at the beginning of the season as
it was believed that a record-breaking
. yield might be secured from the enormous
acreage planted. Climatic conditions again
proved adverse, however, low temperatures,
drought and excessive rainfall causing
much deterioration so that ultimately only
aa averaae crop was expected. This led
to renewed activity on the part of the
.speculative element and that last ear has
i witnessed further violent fluctuations and
,the highest prices attained in almost four
.decades. On the other hand, there were
periods when acuts depression prevailed,
a drastic decline In January carrying the
May option down to 131 cents, but this
weakness was followed by a recovery that
culminated in the top point f the year.

The business history of the year was
plainly written in the statistics ef com

Disbursements Through the Depart
ment of the Missouri Greater
. Than Ever Before.
Owing to the addition last February of
1'ort D. A. Russell to the paymaster's dis
bursements of the Department of the Mis
souri, ; soldiers' pay through that depart
ment has reached during th year 1910
the enormous amount of 22,000 000 over 1909,
The disbursements for the year Just closed
agffregata M.OOO.OTO.
There . waa a reduction .In the enlisted
strength of the department, due to the re
duction In the strength of the companies to
sixty men each. The Infantry companies
at Fort Leavenworth were decreased from
110 men each to sixty men; the cavalry
troops at Forte Leavenworth and Riley
were reduced from eighty to sixty men per
company and the other organisations from
sixty-five to sixty, making quite a large
saving In the total pay ot the army and at
the same time reducing the mobile force
to S,2-men. There are now $34 officers
enlisted In the department, At the same
time last year the .number reached only
494.
There have been a number of Changes In
the personnel of officers of the department
during the year Just ended. Brigadier Oen
era I Charles Morton retired March 17 and
waa succeeded by Brigadier General Fred
erick A. Smith. Colonel William W. Gray
succeeded John M. Bannister as chief sur
geon; Ms.? or M. I.. Walker succeeded Ma
jor E. H. Bchuls aa chief engineer: Captain
James D. Taylor relieved Major W. F.
Blauvelt at Kansas City, Major Plauvelt
going to Washington as post paymaster.
In February a paymaster's office was es
tablished at Cheyenne and Major M. K
Barroit was placed In charge. Major Bar-
roll's appointment made the seventh pay
master for the department. Other Impor
tant changes of the last year were the ap
polntment of Major Harry C. Hale to suc
ceed Major C. W. Kennedy as adjutant
general of tff department and of Major
Omar Bundy to succeed Major James B.
Erwln as Inspector general. Lieutenant
E. M. Wtffljon of the Eleventh infantry is
now ald-de-camp for General 8mlth, and
as such Is acting as chief ordnance of
ficer.
It was announced recently that Captain
William K. Jones Is to be promoted Jan
uary 13 to the rank of major. His place Is
to be taken by Captain Harry Hammond
who will return from service In the Phil
ippines. .
The quartermaster's depot was rear
ranged during the last year to make room
for stores of khaki clothing, food and
weapons for wartime. The commissary de
partment has spent 2700,000 for food In the
last year, an Increaae of 2100,000 over 1909.
Most of the purchasing; was dene by the
purchsstng commissary, Lieutenant Colonel
F. F. Kastman, through Omaha Jobbers
and wholesalers.
Criminal Division
of District Court Has
Quite Busy Year
About the Same Number of Cases Was
Handled Last Year at
Before.
Last year was Just about as busy as the
Immediately preceding one, according to a
report of criminal business, prepared by
County Attorney English. In 1910 there
were 117 convictions of crime aa against
110 In 1909. In 1910 there were sixteen ac
quittals, while in the year Just preceding
there were seventeen. In 1910 only forty
four criminal cases were nolled, that la.
dismissed, while In 1908 there were 195. The
vast difference In the number of nolles In
the two years Is explained largely by the
dismissal of fifty-eight cases of selling to
bacco to minors In 1909. These and many
other criminal actions had to be dismissed
because of Insufficiency of evidence.
Mr. English's statement of disposition of
criminal cases during 1910, also giving the
number of rases pending at the close of
the year, follows:

BRADSTREET REVIEWS YEAR
Period of Unrest Recounted, with a
Forecast of the Future.
HIGH PRICES AS A BURDEN
Imports Break All Beeerde and
Exports of Fooistaffs Fall Off
Maaafartared Prod acts asa
Base Cotton Increase.
Nineteen hundred and ten waa. on the
whole, a disturbed and a rather disappoint
ing period In American trade, finance and
Industry. It was a year of agitation, of
attempts to work out politico-economic
problems, of declines In quotations of se
curities, of Inflation and, later, of tinset-
tlement and finally of weakness In manv
commodltly prices, of Industrial unrest and
curtailment, of repression In consumptive
demand, of numerous strikes, of political
overturn approaching the proportions of a
landslide, and of changes In long estab
lished channels of domestlo and foreign
trade. Withal, and In spite of many draw
backs, but probably because of the mo
mentum acquired In the previous year of
tremendous activity, of upbuilding and of
recuperation, It was a period of Immense
agricultural effort, crqwned with a not
able success. In some Instances, as regards
quantity, and of records outputs In many
lines of manufacture. It witnessed the
floating of large new Issues of securities,
while at the same time It saw a volume of
financial liquidation which In other years
might have caused convulsion. It wit
nessed a vast expansion of banking trans
actions, record totals of loans and deposits
and close to record bank clearings, and yet
fewer failures than In either of the two
preceding years, although the volume of
failure damage was above tha normal,
being exceeded only In years of vital
atresf.
Prices at Hl Level.
In assigning cauaea for the disturbed
conditions which pervaded the body politic
and economic throughout the year, first
placf will probably have to be accorded to
prevailing high levels of all prices, whether
of S'-curltiee or of commodities. The first
Invtttd attack because of extravagant
manipulation before the year began, while
the h sight to which commodity prices rose
In th opening months of the year consti
tuted a burden which gave rise to bitter
agitation and resulted ultimately In far
reachlt g effects, primarily upon consump
tion, tl ence upon output and finally upon
profltts. In the latter respect there will
probablj be little dissent from the state
ment thit an Immense business was done 1
at a small. In some Instances disappear
ing, margin. Of this the generslly con
ceded small net results reported obtained
by business men snd by manufacturers
and the lessened net earnings announced
by the railway.' are striking present ex
amples. Declining prices cf securities, high prices
of food, moat boycotts, demands for higher
wages by railway anO Industrial employes,
talk of corporation prosecutions, this in
turn unsettling confidence and preventing
the floating of new security Issues for Im
provements, all made the earlier months
of th year a veritable "winter of discon
tent." Excessively large expenaiiuree ior
food naturally lessened margins of earn
ings available for purchases of other neces
sities nnd Increased the pressure upon
public offlcals to embark upon prosecu
tions to which the term trust-baiting be
came applied. Spring brought some relief
In the matter of lowered price, but
weather and crop uncertainties and manu
facturing curtailment, forced by high raw
material costs, caused conservatism in busi
ness. Continued governmental activity
against certain corporations and threats of
Injunction suits against the railways, which
were seeking to recoup themselves for In
cressed costs of operations, due to granting
of higher wag?s. by Increasing rates, found
the stock market vulnerable, while low
crop condition t the turn of the year
favored bearish movements and inaucea
liquidations. With larger argicultural yields
more certain of attainment In the late sum
mer and early autumn, a more cheerful
outlook prevailed. DUt the political over
turn In vhe fall, with the pr-kpects of a re
opening of the tariff question, made for
slightly less optimistic views. Repression
and conservatism and small and frequent,
rather than large or confident, buying kept
trade and Industry within rather narrow
channels, considering the country's vastly
enlarged producing capacity, and appar
ently good holiday trade did not disguise
the fact that the advent of sn early winter
had reduced outdoor activities and lessened
demsnd, while Industrial Idleness was
greater than for some years past.
The Stock Market 1st 1BIO.
Contraction and disappointment char
acterised the stock market In 1910. In
this respect affaire presented a strong
contrast to the perhaps too rapid advance
ment In 1W. In a word, lowered prices
aignalixed the operations of 1910. While
rumors of Insolvencies were plentiful
enough early In the year, the twelve
months passed with comparatively few
failures or corporation receiverships, though
the Columbus & Hocking Coal and Iron
pool, m-hlch collapsed on January 19, car
ried down three sto k exchange houses,
snd Fl8k oV Koblnnon went Into bankruptcy
on February 1. Throughout most of the
year the market, so far as the volume
goes, a as Inane, public Interest waa very
light, and as a whole the professional
element found It difficult to procure funds
to engineer prolonged bullish operations
as the banks saw fit to husband their rt
aourres or to lend for short periods only
Withal, rstes for loana ruled relatively
low, save at the very outset of the year,
when call money advanced to 12 per cent,
in'omntlv receding. Niowever. Early m
January stock prices ruled high, but there
after declines which were halted by tem
porary ralllea. Thla condition continued
until the latter part of July. In the
meantime every upward movement pro
duced more or lees liquidation, the net re
sult of the sewn months' period having
been declines of from 20 to DO points. The
remainder of the year wltneased aome re
covery, 10 to IS polnta on various stocks,
but in the early autumn certain securities
touched low points for the twelve months.
Large Outputs.
Industry was Irregularly active, periods
of record production alternating with cur
tailment and short time, such aa have not
been wltneased since lwiS-04. The excesa
of pig Iron production, reaultlng in record
output as a whole, waa largely In the
earlier months of the year, while the sum
mer and fait showed many furnaces
banked, decreases In orders on hand, and
mill operations scaled down one-third to
one-half. Production of pig-Iron Is 1.4 per
cent larger than the record total of 1909,
and Iron-ore shipments are 1.4 per cent
larger. Anthracite coal shipments ran 4 4
per cent better than 1909. but are 3.5 pel
cent below the I107 record. 1-ake coin
mrc shows a 10 per cent gain In ton
nage, but competition has greatly reduced
profits here as elsewhere. High prices of
raw material and Inability to get costs
back out of raw cotton caused mill cur
tailment, in the spring and summer, of
W to to per cent, but more abundant sup
plies In the fall helped resumption to
practically full time, north and south,
tester, talk of renewed curtailment was
heard. Much woolen and worsted mill
machinery was Idle early, but lower
prices of raw material from the new
clip allowed resumptions. Much for
eign wool was re-exported, and some do
mestic products also found a more profit
able outlet abroad than was possible at
home. Bituminous coal output was Inter
fered with by strikes from April onward,
but shortages of supplies were not felt
severely, owing to quieter Industry. Coke
production showed progressive curtailment
as the year advanced. Increased friction
in Industrial lines waa evident, despite
numerous wage advances by railways and
Industrial lines; the number of strikers was
doubled that of 190S and only exceeded by
the record suspensions of 1908. Immigra
tion was 10 per cent beyond 1909, though
not equaling the 1907 record. Building ex
penditures fell i per cent below the enor
mous 1909 aggregate.
Clearing; aad Fallarea.
Financial measures of the year's turn
over showed only a slight shrinkage.
Thus, clearings fell only l.S per cent below
the record of 19(. This loss was. how
ever, mainly at New fork, where the de
crease was S per cent, while the rest of
th country showed a gain of per cent
Explanation of the loss at New Tork is
partly furnlshabla by the decrease of 3S
per cent In stock transactions and of W
per cent In bond sales as compared with
1909. BUll, it might be noted that clear
ings as 'a whole were nearly S per cent
larger than the 1904 total and nearly
double those of a decade ago. Failure re
turn W-ere Irregular. These were 1.3 per
cent fewer ' than In 1909 and IS per cent
more than In 1908, though IS per cent more
than In 1907. Liabilities, owing to the oc
currence of some large suspensions, were
25 per cent larger than In 19t9, but 50 per
cent less than In 1908, and less than hslf
those of 1907, the record year of failure
damage.
Looking? 'Forward.
High prices of most products, and espe
cially foods and raw materials, have been
a sort of endless-chain burden to labor,
to manufacture and to trade generally
which free buying of some generally es
teemed non-essentials has not entirely con
cealed. Perhaps the best evidence thst
American markets were out of line with
the rest of the world waa the reduction 'of
our export trade In food products, which
one time constituted our strength In for
eign trade. Colncideutly, Imports broke
all records, this giving rise to the remark
that the United States waa a good place to
sell In but not so favorable a country to
buy In. In this contingency it has un
doubtedly been fortunate that our export
trad in manufactured products and In
raw cotton has more than made up for
declines in breadstuffs and provisions.
It will hardly be confidently claimed that
home demand for food products Is suffi
cient to take up the surplus productions of
the country in a year such aa this Just clos
ing, and In view of foreign competition,
bred of large crops In the rest of the
world's .surplus producing countries,
American participation in this trade Is
hardly possible at present price levels. The
situation of affairs would seem. Indeed, to
point to liquidation being necessary In costs
of production, and past liquidation In the
stock market may, perhaps, find a counter
part In natural products, which seem to
have advanced more largely than manu
factured goods, having possibly been af
fected by' the speculative spirit so much In
evidence In securities markets in 1900, and
which, perhaps, found Its mainspring In
the excessive supply of cheap money In
that year. If any such movement toward
cheaper costs continues It Is hard ' to see
how labor can avoid contributing thereto.
In this connection a test may perhaps be
made of the theory advanced by many,
that the Increased supply of gold in the
world has made for a permanently higher
rang of all prices. Pending an approxi
mately final settlement of the tariff ques
tion, for which one offered solution Is the
permanent commission plan, something like
repression of the country' obviously large
productive capacities to fit the compara
tively narrow channels of small and fre
quent buying for actual needs, rather than
large and confident anticipation of future
wants, would seem in keeping with the
conservatism manifest In so many lines, i
Period of Progrraa,
A period of peaceful progress, and of gen

fits of the prosperity always present In a
country possessing the magnificent advan
tages of this one, but which, like all com

Quiet conservatism and level-headed treat

for solution are to be enjoined if th coun

adjustments already In evidence and those
to be met with, and, it I to be hoped,
satisfactorily made In 1911.
