rfed to completion, and the general of

The general ituation-financiaI. in
dustrial and commercial-seems sound.
says Henry Clews this week But the
reaction has not been equally distribu-
ted; the process of readjustment is still
going on, consequently business is quiet
and initiative is holding back for more
settled conditions. Declining bank
clearings and smaller railroad earnings
tell the same story. showing that the
country is settling down gradually to
more normal and healthier conditions
than those which existed in the boom
which eliminated the latter part of
1902 There is no cause for discourage
ment; but a rising stock market is
hardly expected in the face of summer
quiet, the uncertainty as to the crops
and the elections.
