advance until money is more plentiful
and cheaper
One Of the most encouraging features
OF the money situation is found III the
fact that no concerns of Importance have
filed papers Of incorporation in The prln-
cipal incorporation States within the past
two months. The floating Of large indus
trial corporations always Involves con-
siderable cash. and the fact that the
movement toward the formation Of in
dustriai combinations Is waning will go
q long way toward improving the i:nan-
cal situation. Banks and trust
companies have discouraged the orsanza-
ton of enterprises while the money s!tua-
ton is in such uncertain straits, which
accounts for the few concerns apriylns
for charters III New jersey and other
