BETTER TIMES.

Merchants who had out collectors on
the first of the month say that at no
time for many years have collections
been so good. People are paying their
bills promptly and are no longer
standing off, their creditors. This is
the report from other towns as well as
from Fort Worth. 1t is an indication
that there is more money in circula-
ton, and it will be cause of putting
still more money in circulation. 1t is
both cause and an effect. 1t is the
effect of closer economy in the past. and
it will be the cause of more liberal buy
ing in the future. For lack of means
people have done little buying this
year, and have saved to pay what they
owe. When they get out of debt they
can do more buying, and it will be done
with a closer approach to cash basis.
This settling of debts and paying of
cash for future purchases will keep the
money going from hand to hand, and
that means relaxing of the financial
stringency. If everybody will pay off
his debts by the first of January, the
new year will come in with a great i'm
Droyement in business
