Turning of the Tide.
The last issue of Bradstreets contains
the cheering announcement that thu
tide has turned and that business really
is looking up. From all parts of thu
country come assurances that the worst
is over and that reaction is fully estab'
iished. The facts upon which this con

1t is quite true that there is on percep
tible change in prices; that thous
ands of industrial establishments are
working on short time or are completely
silent, and it is true that jobbing and
manufacturing firms are not overrun
with orders for immediate delivery It
is likewise true that measures to relieve
want are as necessary as they were three
weeks ago, and the outlook from many
standpoint is still gloomy and sad
But a careful survey of the situation
shows that a larger number of industrial
establishments are resuming operations
each week than are closing There is
also visible increase in the production
Of pig iron, and indications among the
banks are not lacking to show that
business is on the up grade.
The iron trade is particularly sensitive
to any changes in the market, and husi-
ness men are very apt to look upon the
production of iron as one of the sure in
dexes of the condition of business. To
find, therefore, in time of general de :
preston a considerable increase in the
output and the market looking up is
certainly as favorable to the passing of
the financial storm as rift in the clouds
and bright flash of sunshine during
summer shower.
1t may be that many will think the
indications rest ON a small basis, but
they are, nevertheless, of character to
bring hope to many a disconsolate and
discouraged business firm in our country
