Basic for Con adence.
The general symptoms developed in
Wall street during the past week have
been the most hopeful features witnessed
for many months past. Without any spe-
cial stimulus or speculative effort, there
has been a marked revival of buying oper-
atoms and, with few exceptions, an adj
vance in prices. Also, it is a notable
symptom that several persons of emf
hence and directly in touch with the farm
ing interest and the larger Industries have
simultaneously expressed their views on
the business outlook in unexpectedly hope
full terms Mr.. Thomson, president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad; Mr.. Gould of The
Missouri Pacific, Mr.. Chauncey NJ. De
pew and Mr.. G. p. Huntington, who are
among the foremost representatives of the
railroad interest in different sections of
the country, have uniformly expressed
sanguine expectations as to the general
outcome of the harvest and the prospects
of business at large Similar estimates of
the drift of the crops and of business have
been made by Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, Hon.
Roswell p. Flower and Mr.. Hill, presi-
dent of the Great Northern. Such body
of opinion, coming from men possessing
the best source of knowledge as to condi-
tons and movements, constitute basis
for confidence which cannot be disregard

Improvement Will Surely Continue.
ufv sa Int
master General John Wanamaker's state
ment that 1.-THE country is not prosperous
and that "since the outset of the last pres
idential campaign the party press and po-
htical leaders generally fixed the Novem-
Der election of 1896 as the date of the be-
ginning of good times" And the state
ment follows that ''thus far but one of the
important issues of the campaign Is near
ing settlement and hardly any improve
ment of the wretched times is manifest"
Mr.. Wanamaker draws erroneous conclu-
sions. No man in the country who was
at all conversant with the trend of bust
ness affairs thought for a moment that
good times could be made to come instant
aneously- But what did take place i'm
mediately ON the election of Mr.. McKin-
ley was the immediate restoration Of con-
fdence and the return of vast numbers of
workinginen to the avenues of labor and
trade. Gradually, but surely, business
has been growing better, and the country
only awaits the passage of the tariff bill to
settle down to development of the manu.
featuring resources of the country, which
will stimulate other business.-Buffalo

Encouraging Revelations.
The investigations Of the Bureau Of La
Dor of this State as to the industrial con-
ditions in the three principal cities have
resulted In some very encouraging revela.
tons. 1t appears that the tide of pros
perity for which every one has been so
long waiting has quietly been rising, in
spite of assertions to the contrary. The
investigations of the bureau, complete
only for Duluth, show that In that city
there is a net increase of q per cent in
the number Of employees over the number
employed at practically the same time
last year. So far as the Investigations In
st. Paul and Minneapolis have gone, Il IL
stated the percentage Of increase will be
fully as great as in Duluth. Such a ma
terial increase is not only encouraging as
showing an increased demand for manu-
featured articles, but II is an indication
Of an increased demand for products of all
kinds, and more important still, a certain
promise that demand will continue to in
crease. Almost every manufacturing in
dustry in the State has found It neces-
sary to increase the number Of operatives
