l. II. Griffith returned yesterday from the
East, after having been delayed several days at
Ellensburg by the floods. Speaking OF the con-
dition OF business in New York and the other
money centers, he said: 81 do not think that N
general the election will have any effect on BUSH
ness except for the better, and OF Quieting
character. The money market will be fairly
active for conservative investments in the West

favor, inside real estate will find good market
on ar, income basis. Wild cattism is looked down
and generally considered detrimental to the IN
terests OF the West. and no doubt has done con-

we have. The whole country is prosperous
at the present time and investors and capitalists
seem content to let well enough alone. Inc
symptoms are that we have enough factories to
produce our requirements and that more would
depress those now existing; enough railroads TO
accommodate all the traffic and more would re-
duce their value; in fact, II would appear from
a visit to Delmonicos aud Wall street that this
country had reached the millennium. our

exhibit at the Worlds fair will undoubtedly
bring much business.
