NORWAY DECLARED TO
BE RICHER THAN YEAR AGO
CHIUSTIANIA Norway Jan. 29
(Correspondence of Tho Associated
Press.) Although there Is scarcely
any Industry trade or business In Nor-
way that has escaped the Influence of
the war the year-end surveys of eco-
nomic conditions have generally shown
the country as a whole to be richer
than it was a year ago at least from
tho viewpoint of thp capitalist.
The closing of the usual markets on
which Norway has been dependent for
such necessities as coal nnd grain
.' .a a
class It appears that more money Is
lit circulation than usual.
It has been difficult for tho farmers
to get sufficient quantities of fodder
and fertilizer but on the other hand
prices on farm products have been
higher than they ever were before and
the net result has been n profitable
year for the farmers.
General trade has had many obstac-
les in its way but notwithstanding
this now Industrial enterprises are
constantly being founded with plenty
of capital at their command. An In
cldcntnl feature of this new capitali-
zation Is the fact that there lias been
much speculation on the part of young
people. Even office boys and school
children have been speculating in
Etnck. uatfer to net rich dUlck. V
'common practice has been for peoplo '
j without means to subscribe to stock j
in tho Hew companies and then nftor
a few days or weeks when tho Block
ts rising oven before any capital has
! Ijccu nald In to sell at a profit. This

of steamship companies which are
growing up everywhere llko mush
rooms. In order to prevent bucIi un-
sound speculation the government is
forming a measure that will require
tho stockholder to pay a certain
amount in cash before lie can sub-
scribe to stock and that will forbid
any transaction in stocks on which
nothing lias been paid down
The Norwegian shipping Undo has
flourished as never before. The high
freight rates which show no signs of
.reduction and tho scarcity of foreign
tonnage has juudo tho Norwegian
suipowner a ricu ninii. aiui mis not
withstanding that the loss to shipping
as n direct result of the war has been
heavy. In ull fifty-four Norwegian
steamers and twenty-eight sailing
cssels altogether representing ?13-
000000 huvo been blown up with tho
loss of scventy-ono sailors. New ships
have been added houoer at u faster
rate than ever before and still the
yards are unable to keep up with tho
demand.
A number of ships have been order-
ed ut American yards and Homo of
them sold several times over beforo
leady to bo launched.
Two mouths ago five motor tunk
ships for tho oil trade were ordered
by a newly formed Norwegian com-!
pany at American shipyards to be de-
livered next fall. Of these four aro 'al-
ready sold to other companies ithreo
to France and one to a Norwegian
company nt a clear profit of $1250-
