The Business Outlook

From the Courier-J Journal of yes
terday we clip the following report on
the business situation for the week
ending Saturday, September 9;
A week of steady improvement cul-
minated to-day in the announcement
that the New York banks had not only
come up to the 25 per cent. reserve re-
quirement by the increase during the
week. but thaf they are now about
S3,0O0,000 above that limit. This
state of things had been anticipated
in part and in some measure dis
counted. The return of the New
York banks to q normal condition
means general improvement in the
financial condition throughout the
country. The New York institutions
have begun shipping currency again
20 other points, and domestic ex-
change has been restored to the usual
conditions.
The good bank statement strength
sned the New York stock market,
hoqgh there was some reaction at the
close on account of selling to cover
contracts. The market has been
strong during the week.
Leaf tobacco has advanced sharply
inder active bidding by manufactur-
4rs for the needs of an improving
rade, as we'll as the free buying by
large brokers. The reports indicate
short and inferior crop, and this,
with the financial improvement, is
stimulating the market.
The week has been one of general
Improvement in business. Banks
everywhere are becoming more liberal
in loans. Local banks are discount
.ng commercial paper. Merchants
r port better business, mills are re-
uming and failures throughout the
country are becoming less numerous. :.
