should like. The first week here, the
| weather was really too cold to work
out of doors, but since the 2Sth of
March we have been busy as bees,

two miles distant from my shack. BY

As result of the unsettled business situation thousands and thousands of foreign mine, mill. and factory work CTS are leaving this country in rush never before dreamed of.
 The out-pouring which began about three weeks ago has now increased to flood, with the railroads running special trains to bring the home going foreigners to this port and the steam ship companies taxed far beyond their maximum capacities, One boat this week carried away 3,200 persons while steamers taking 1,500 or 2,000 are al- most every day occurrences. s-sa,t

 whs,s inc money stress continues ana great many business men nave peco,no ne.simists as a result or the oiiiicu.y of securing currency to carry on thel. Icr.ra tions. the feeling among the best sIsarr,ed financiers Is distinctly more ch eerful than it was month or even two weeks ago.
 A consensus of opinions gathered tnis week among the directorate
 ranker's Trust Company. which IS made n of representatives of the strongest fnanancial institutions, including national. state and private bankers hrourht out the following opinion which may be taken as the authorita- tive summing up of the situation as It t. viewed by conservative banking in- t.raata. If ia absurd to believe that this country is facing great disaster q Those people who say that we arg ruined are either 'panic-stricken or eise cannot see the conditions that sufrouno tbem. It is true that the currency SUI . st,on at the present time has resulted in a let-up in business ana may cauSe liquidation to run further.
 A certain recession in business Is one If the inevitable results of the extrav-
 
 agance, that has marKed the life or the country for the last five or six years one of the consequences of the labor situation and of excessively high wages. But to believe that this business de- preesion will be of the severity and du- ration of that which began in 1893 is, for the intelligent observer, almost inf- possible At that time the railroads were loaded down with the cost of ex- tensions that yielded insufficient rev. enues to support the investment The situation with respect to railroads to- day is about as different as day is from night.
 In 1893 western farmers. after sew eral crop failures, were struggling un- der heavy mortgages, and their banks were light-waisted and short in cash. Today the farmers have paid of their mortgages and hold, in strong. well regulated banks, handsome balances to their credit. As for large industrial corporations, like United States Steel. their position as to strength and cash reserves is infinitely stronger than was the case of manufacturing con-
