PROSPERITY SHOWN
First National Bank of Boston Points
to Increase of Industry in
Newspaper Release
STOCK EXCHANGE NOW ACTIVE
The recent newspaper release of the
First National bank of Boston calls
attention in a general summary to the
present era of great business prosper-
ity.
The stock exchanges have been ex-
tremely active while the bank clear-
ings for September, excluding New
York City, were about one-third larger
than a year ago. A material off-set
to this showing is due to the increased
price of commodities during thepast
year. There Is practically no unem-
ployment in New England and in fact
a shortage of labor is being felt in
various industries. This si uation is
most striking when compare with the
quarter ending December 31, 1914, at
which time 18.3 per cent of the trade
union membership of Masachusetts
was unemployed.
.The steel industry is at the maxi-
mum. Steel buying is very active at
advancing prices and steel users are
beginning to stock up heavily. Textile
mills are reaping a harvest and market
discussion is confined to delivery dates
more than to prices. Shoe manufactur-
ing is at a high-water mark in spite
of prevailing high prices for materials.
Hard wood is climbing high and the
market is strong. Pulp wood con-
tinues scarce and the mills are over-
taxed. Crop conditions are generally
unsatisfactory, cotton and wheat being
far below normal.
Our exports of copper goods havek
reached record-breaking size. Ourt
shipments of this class have reachedI
nearly five times the number at the
start of the war. The production of
pig iron has been greatly stimulated.I
Cotton, while there was a 12 per centt
increase in acreage planted, deterior-a
age in the plant up to that time is re-t
sponsible for the present condition.I
Prices on cloth have risen steadily andv
the mills are. showing large earnings.-
The outlook for wool is a strong one
with a probability of even higherp
prices.
With general business so near thed
maximum volume there is a tendencyr
toward conservatism on the part ofb
business men who think it wise to con-4
serve present profits and to conduct
both domestic and foreign business asc
safely as possible. This feeling wasb
stimulated by a recent submarine op-
eration which showed the present ab-c
normal conditions and their liabilityn
to a sudden change Any cessation oft
our exports, which might result from
several causes, would pile up goods allb
along the line. This condition if last-s
ing very long would dislocate busi-e
ness in general, affecting productiono
employment, purchasing power, ando
prices.n

INFORMATION GIEN OUT
ABOUT STUDENT OTERS
Absent Voters Law Makes It Possible
for Non-Resident Students
to Vote
For the benefit of the student voters
of Michigai1 enronea in the University,
information has been secured by the
Student Voters' Committee to inform
them how they can secure the ballot
in order to vote at the fall election
without going home.
There is a law called the Absent
Voters Law which provides a method
by which non-resident students who
are qualified voters may cast their
ballots by mail, if they cannot be at
home on election day. To comply
with this law the student must send
to the clerk of the township or city
in which he lives, a request for an ap-
plication blank. In case the stu-
dent has not registered, or in case the
district in which he lives requires re-
registration, he should send in for a
blank "'Request for Registration with
Affidavit." This should be sent to-
gether with.therequest for the appli-
cation ballot so that they can both
be returned at once.
When the application blank is re-
ceived the student should go before a
notary public and fill it out and re-
turn it to the clerk, who will then send
the ballots at once. The ballots must
be marked secretly according to in-
structions sent by the clerk, and seal-
ed in a special envelope which ac-
companies the ballots. The affidavit
on the back of this special envelope
must be filled out in the presence of a
notary public. When this has been
done the student should mail the en-
velope, with the enclosed ballots to
the clerk.
Students are warned to send in
their requests for application blanks
without delay as they must be filled
out and in the-hands of the clerk ten
days before election, that is, by Oct.
28. By the time the voters receive
their ballots the committee will an-
nounce a time and place where the
services of a notary public may be se-
cured without charge.
Syracuse Has New $300,000 Building
