PROSTKKITY ON THK WAY. New York Hanks ^ere^e*1 Bntt Iik?? Revival. Washington, Aug. 81." -Vredlctloti* of prosperity. to come have been tak lug much space iu the public press for the last your. Opinions of many men supposedly qualified to t^cik with authority have "been sought and eag erly published. Hut here is not a piv diction lutml on hope or "general con ditions" but upon statistical fact*. Some Now York banks took the trouble to gather up the fact* and preseut theui us real evidence. According to these figurea? bank clearing# in 165 cltlCB arc 10.7 per cent higher , than a year ago; industrial employment in New York State It per cent and throughout^Jbe country 15 per cent.; pig iron production 177 per ceut; line production 8-1 per cent; cbpper produc tion 20 ]>er cent;) automobile 50 |?er. wut; sugar meltings 78 per cent; elec tric power production 21 per cent; building contract* (11 per cent, etc. Thwe figures arc the true index of what has happened and a firm founda tion on which to build a tremendous prosperity for the Immediate future, From these facts the banks draw the obvious conclusions that real pros perity is here but waiting the settle ment of upset Industrial conditions to l>e visible. As an officer of one of these organizations puts it: "Wlhcn all allowances have been made for the clouds now overhead and for the great seriousness of the forces of disorgani zation as expressed in the strikes, the domestic economic jKxsition presents pleasing contrasts with that prevail ing one year ago, when American bus iness was at the lowest ebb In many years. To measure some of these con trasts Is to gain the two-fold convic tion that business recovery has been substantial and that, when strikes are settled, the revival will logically con tinue many months before reaching the crest of a nerw prosperous era." * ' Smith Named Special Judge. ?Columbia, Aug. 15.?-Mendel I>.
