THROUGHBIG YEAR
Unprecedented Achieyementi Are
Becorded, with Billion Buiheli
Of Whet to Back Them.
ALL LTJTCS OF TRADE PROSPER
"Having; emerged funriamrntally Intact
from the greatest rrtela In the world's
Jilatorjr," Mm Dun review of the ear'e
trade of the country, "thla country haa
with characteristic courage and fortitude
'mefane! overcome the moat perplexing
and trying eonomla problems, and has
'established Staelf upon a . mora solid
foundation than aver before. Since many
montha . wr required for full adjust
ment to the exoraordlnarr rond Minna
created by tha war. for a considerable
period rcowr from depression waa
necessarily gradual and checkered, but of
lata the barometer of progress hna risen
with a continuity and rapidity seldom. If
ever, equaled. Indeed, In some respects
nothing In history parallels tha recent
phenomenal Mpanelon in national activi
ties, end It la significant of the existing
state of tha public mind that tha advance
Is regarded as more than ephemeral. j
Unprecedented Aeklevemeata. j
Even tha moat cursory survey of the
commercial world brings to light a num-
. bar of achievements wholly lacking in
precedent. As a matter of fact. It has
again become tha custom to speak of naw
high records as something natural and
quite to be expented, while la several
loatanoes actual performances are out
stripping tha moat enthualaatla predic
tions. All the traditional Indices of pros
perity are present: during October, for
tha first time In the annals of tha coun
try, output of pig Iron reachad 1000,000
tons; as port trade, due largely, but not
wholly, to tha magnitude and urgency
' of war demands, continues of unmatched
proportions; bank clearings have touched '
figures never attained and railroad earn
ings show a remarkable enhancement of
tha taming power of tha common car
riers, with some leading systems report
ing maximum revenues. Moreover, con
vincing evidence of tha broadening con
sumptive demands in many directions la
found In tha rise In Dun's index number
of 'wholesale commodity prices to the
highest level In several decades, while
tha statistics of commercial failures re
flect a aotabla raoovary from tha strains
apparent during tha early months of the
yaar.
Blllloa Baskets of Wheat.
. With tha axoeptloa of the cotton In
dustry, tha last yaar, the review says,
was tha most auocaasfut In agriculture
. In tha history of tha country. For tha
first time. It points out, this country has
raised, a billion bushels of wheat.
Tha record a show that In tha produc
tion of Iron and steal all previous records
were broken,
Beqpiity values in Wall street recovered
naturally when an unprecedented crop
was raised and Industry and commerce
war picking p correspondingly.
Tha year 111 was tha moat active In
tha history of tha leather business, ac
cording to tha review. Prices advanced
to (avals never before reached in the
memory, of thosa doing business today.
'"The boom m the leather business, how
ever, " the report -says, "was entirely
baaed on war orders.
The' shoe factories also ran overtime
producing shoes, although freak styles
for a time hampered trading to quite an
extent.
Monetary Coadltloas.
Touching monetary conditions, tha re
view says:
"During another epochal year, the
'United States has made unprecedented
-strides toward a position of International
supremacy, not only In commerce, but
also In finance. . Though economic eveate
in the, last twelve months presented
fewer , sensational' features that, thosa
-that tollowed the outbreak of the great
way, In so far as this country Is con
earned the developments of 1916, unlike
. those Of tha last half of 1914. were al
most entirely on the constructive aide.
It lake,, indeed, been a year In which
American enterprise, having fully recov
ered from the shock and strains of the
world crisis, has extended over a wider
field and reached goals never before at
: tained.

: Plenty of Cars in
Sight to Move the
' Grain to Market
' While there la still a shortage of ars
' for tarrying grain. It la not as acute as
It was a rouple of weeks ago. According
' to the railroad freight men. Urge numbers
of cars that contained goods for export
and . were held on sidings In cities and
towns along the Atlantic coast have boon
unltaded and have come back Into tha
service. These cars sre being shunted as
rapidly as poaslble into the grain pre
during, territory to be loaded for market.
. The mild winter haa relieved the car
conjeatlnn propneitlon during the laal
month. Heretofore, .during cold winters,
i large numbers of fright cars have been
lmptvesed Into the coal carrying buelneaa.
r but how with the bine of the dealers all
- filled and no heavy demand for fuel, these
cera have been turned bark Into the
grain trade. As a result, this has added
thousands of cars to grain carrying.
With the holidays over and prices blah
" railroad and grain men are anticipating
a big movement of grain rrorn now on.
They assert that aot more than one-half
' of the wheat grown In Nebraska has
moved out of the hands of the farmers;
Bot to exceed B per cent of the oats and
not more than 19 per eeot of the corn
