(RAILWAY SITUATION CONTINUES
SERIOUS ACCORDING TO i
STATEMENT
The Collins Forecast of general
business conditions of the country,!
dated October 25th, has been received :
by the Wichita State Bank, and the
i general tone is less optimistic than
for the past three months.
The railway situation, according to
the forecast, continues serious, prices
of some of the standard railway secur-
ities having declined recently to a,
point lower than at any time since the
Civil War. Applications for further,
advance in rates are now panding. i
The Oc tober crop reports, however,
contain nothing discouraging, al-1
though the corn crop was considerably j
j below the report of September 1st.
- Still, the corn crop is far above that of
last year, and of previous years. Ae-T
cording to the general review of crop |
conditions by the Bureau of Crop esti-T
mates of the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture, the composite
condition of all crops of the United
States on October 1st or at the time
1 of harvest, was 2.4 per cent higher
■ than the ten-year average condition on I
I that date, as compared with a condi-
tion 2.5 per cent above the average
on September 1st Final yields per
acre of € rops last year were about 4 9 ■
per cent below average.
Farm Loan Bonds. * '
In connection with the agric cultural
situation, the Forecast states that
farm loan bonds are being looked
upon with growing favor in a number
of states. They have been declarel
legal investments recently in Kansas
Idaho and Oklahoma. The sale of
these bonds will provide the funds
required to greatly extend the opera-'
tions of the Federal Land Bank Sys -
tent.
Depression in the stock market con !
tinues, and there is some feeling that
the reaction which was naturally ex-
pected. after the long era of rising
prices that followed the large Euro
pean war orders, has arrived. The
high prices which manufactures could
obtain formerly have been < ut down,
and in many instances, they may sell
only to the United States government
at a fixed price. It is estimated that
during the current month a total of
$203,065,172 will be paid to investors,
representing dividend and interest dis.
bursements by railroad, traction, and
industrial corparations. This compares
with $ 700.141,595 in the corresponding
period last year The sum of $95,165,
172 will be distributed among stock-!
holders in the way of dividends, as :
against $97,141,895 last year. This ia

Circulation in Money.
The per capita circulation of money;
in the United States on October 11
was $46.10, as compared with $40.62
on October I last year. For the months
of July, August and September the
Comptroller of Currency received 53
applications for ■ barters for new nat- |
ional banks with capital of a little
over two million, as compared with 17
applications received during I be cor-
responding period during 19T6, with|
capital of nearly two and a half mil
lions. ..
In cotton consumption, there is a
decrease this year of 55.5553 bales
September 1916 showing 528.288 bales
as against 522.735 bales for the same
month of this year Coal production
shows an anormous increase, however,
