Why Trade Is Stapuaut.

II. G.. Dun X Cos Weekly Review Of
Trade says: Movement toward better
things is still the exception. There IS
better business in shoes and small indus
tries and there has been 4 squeezing or
short sellers in cotton. But the general
tendency Of industries and prices is not
encouraging. and those who were most
hopeful month ago are still waiting. not
so hopefully. for the expected recovery.
Causes Of continued depression are not
wanting Bad weather has cut off much
business. especially in country districts.
Some failures of consequence have caused
especial caution. The root of the business
is that in many departments men bought
more and produced more when prices
were mounting and everything was rush
ing to buy last year than they have yet
been able to sell. That the buying was
of nature 10 anticipate actual cOnsump-
ton many months they were fully warn

"Classes" and the Masses" i'm Japan

1t is said that the contentment of the
poor in Japan is the result of the spirit
of pOliteness which pervades all ranks
of the Japanese people. Rich and poor
are alike courteous. and it is impossible
to distinguish employer from laborer
10y their behavior. This politeness re-
suits from genuine kindness, and il set
ties all problems between man and
man. In Europe and America much of
the bad feeling between the classes,
and the masses is caused by insol-.
ence on the one hand and resentment
on the other.
