DOUBT OF NATURE OF BUSINESS UPTURN Profits from War Need Careful Handling - Long Term In? vestment Better. As securities halted last week and became uncertain there was more dis? position to question the nature of this ' present commercial prosperity of which | the rise in securities had been a fore ' runner. Could it be a permanent up? turn in business, it was asked, ?vhich had been stimulated by war's demands, ?vhich existed while the world's wealth was being wasted in conflict and which faced the years of readjustment that, mu?t come with peace ? Evidence from every side that the tide of trade ?vns at the flood appeared to some merely the beginning of inflation that would make settlement more difficult when the war ??as i An opportunity, one of the greatest ever given to any nation, has been Placed la our hands by this world ??ar. and we may turn it to incalculable benefit to ourselves and to the rest of mankind. The truth would seem to be that our continued progress rests with ourselves. A? we use to advan? tage the good that comes to us from Europe'? misfortune, wp will be In posi? tion to resist the iinsettlement that is to lie expected when it is the needs of a world bent on repairing war's waste are must supply. If we keep our bal? ance, are not led into extravagance by unusual profit and maintain at its best the ordinary business of the ration, we should he able to meet the years after the war with ??hat, compnred with the rest of the world, will .- e? in like continued prosperity Of the gold that is coming to us from other nations, a tangible sign of our strength, such part ??ill later remain ?vith us as our legitimate needs re? quire. Used as a basis for credits that develop our resources and that repur rhas?. from abroad evidence of our debt in our stork? and bonds, the gold will : employed. Concentrated through c ur new banking system it may enable i u. to make the bill on New York take i its place permanently beside the bill 1 on London in financing the trade of the world. Used in reckless capitalization of temporary profita it may easily be called back when the trade from ?vhich profits arose has ceased. Public Less In Stocks. How wisely we use our fortune will be evident later. The great conflict, it would appear, has still long to run. and we must carry on our affairs in ac? cordance ?vith the abnormal needs and conditions it has created. The securi? ties market, suffering from a surfeit of prosperity, Will no doubt have adjusted ii? affairs and indulge in ne?v excess before long. It may be hoped, how? ever, that the uncertain basis on ?vhich war profits rest will not be quite for? gotten. Lor the present 'he great specula ' re public seems to be keeping away , from the market. War stocks, having proved they could fall as easily as they roee, have lael their appeal. Reports of improvement ifl the market for me? tallic copper failed to furnish lasting stimulus to security trading. Exports of copper are large, 10,000 tons for the ?veek ended Thursday, ?gainst 5,r<00 and J.500 for the two week?, preceding. The large selling ageneiei advanced their price to 19 i eenta s pound and reports of a big domestic demand for the metal ware current. With improved methods of produc? tion, such high prices for the metal shoultl mean larg.- profita for estab? lished compel lea The**** are, how? ever, no longer public statistics of of metal on hand and of production to ?how the condition In the copper mar? ket, and these reports of improvement failed to carry complete conviction to trader.?. Copper stocks early in the week rose, in some cases to their high OOt ever recorded, but they gave way rather easily later as trader? took profits or sold short. The ?.ar stocks proper, steel com? panies, equipment concerns engaged in ordnance work arid so on were de? cidedly unstabil. Though in many in? stances it was sho?vn they could be advanced without much trouble by those interested in their market course, it became increasingly d to distribute stocks at high level?. In? dustrials no* directly interested in war contracts did better. The petroleum issues CHme into some prominence as' prices for crude oil advanced. Kailroads lairry Firm. The railroad list gave a fairly good account of itself, prices improved slow ly, but holding well as investment buy ing ?va? more than sufficient to ab? sorb such part of the stock returned from the other side as reached the market.

Com? modities are being moved in greatel ?illume to meet the suddenly expand? ing need-? of business, and this means more traffic foi the railroad -.

LONDON DISCOUNTS SHOW EASIER TREND Treasury May Raise All Rates In *i Per Cent, to Prevent New War Loan. By FRANCIS W. HIRST. EditQC. "I/ondon Kronnmist." l*e i ?- ;? '? Ifeg IMbem ! London, Nov. 21.- Money and dis? count rates display an easier ten? dency, with a small volume of busi? ness, but a considerable rush for Treasury bills reported. Thi.? may justify the Treasury in raisin;,' rate? tu :i uni form ."i per cent rate, as a legitimate means.?if carrying ?>n the war without a fresh loan. Under the rircumstanires, ihort-bill [.nanea i preferable tu long-term finanre. Probably a new short-term loan may '.(? required, but if so it will not. I think, b?- issued till February, cer? tainly not till after New Year's. Honar Law's speeches point to a quick decision as to the policy of both .oif government and the French. His replies to Trevelyan and others on iliplomacy, conscrip? tion and finance have, awakened keen interest. More and more people be? lieve that no military decision will Ie reached, that winter militates against the Germ?n armies, and that bnanrial pressure will ?-ml the arar. We regretfully recognize the diffi? culty uf helpil g Serbia by direct means, but diplomat***, aided by our naval achievements, itoald ulti? mately restore her autonomy. Public upiiiititi will support any : ?derate Ind reaaonable settlement.

He was not specially alarmed aboot tin- exchange.?, which are now going better, but dwelt upon the need for maintaining our finan? ?ai stability. A? a whole, the tone ..i his speech was ntisfa**t4*****, as indicating a better ministerial per ipective and ? greater reacUneai to face realities. The problem of finding gold and i redit ifi aid of the exchanges will i'i ubtless be solved. The gold hoard in Paris is enormous.
