Assuming that the crops will be
good and that the spring wage
settlements pass without unusual
strike disturbance, it would seem
as if there were a certainty of
year of prosperous BUSINESS in
this country. The current fnan-
cial outlook is one of the most
hopeful we have had for years at
this season. Even the so-called
weakness of speculation is itself a
real blessing, inasmuch as it is
the result of a severe but COM
pleted liquidation, which removes
the inverted pyramid that one
and two years ago dangerously
overhung all trade and industry
throughout the country. A year
ago the striking phases of the
financial situation were 6-per cent
money and 3 or 312 per cent
stocks. Today this has been re-
versed to 3 per cent money and
6 per cent stocks, and no one will
hesitate for a moment to admit
that the latter is a much safer
condition.
The New York banks, whose
weekly reports are the chief finan-
cial barometer, now have surplus
reserves of $27, 7,46S,S75 as against
$6,290,900 last year. $6,965, ,325
two years ago, and $7,S7O,5OO
three years ago. Here is another
symptom which cannot be held
other than favorable. For once
the financial doctors are all
agreed. The patient is in all re-
spects in better condition than at
this time last year, or than he
was when he was mistaking the
dropsy of initiation for the solid
sinew and muscle of health two
and three years ago, There is no
reason why every business man
should not feel encouraged.
Here in Sistersville the business
outlook for the spring and sum-
mer never looked better in the
history of the city than at the
present time. All our industries
are running on full time, labor is
plenty and wages are good. Our
merchants are doing a good busi-
