| effects of the prevailing uncertainty as to
our foreign relations upon the general
| business Of the country. There has been
some disposition apparent of Iata how
ever, to attribute considerably more to
the fear Of impending hostllities than
seems proper. Reports have been given
in the press of a largo volume of can
cel1ations in different lines of trade all
due, II is claimed, TO the fear Of strained
relations. Special and widespread inquiry
fails to show anything like the reported
volume of cancellations in different lines
of trade at various cities. with the sole
exception of the wooden goods industry.
And even here the cause of the depres-
sion. while primarily given as disturbed
condition of our foreign relations, has
been by some observers attributed and
We believe to some extent properly. to the
natural reaction following the activity
which was such a feature of wooden goods
manufacturing one year ago. These can
cellations were reported as said to have
come chiefly from wholesale clothing
manufacturers, and the percentage given
Of cancelled orders has been placed as
high as so to rs per cent. A number of
mills, however, are said to have shut
down, and the evil of overstocIng is
thought to have been largely averted.
Careful inquiry, while showing a consid-
cradle portion of the cancellations to have
been due to the prospect of war, would
indicate that fully so per cent of them
have been due to clothing houses giving
larger orders than thew really required
