THINKS CRISIS PAST.
Dumont Clarke Says Time for
alarm Has Gone By.

Dumont Clarke, president Of the American
Exchange National Bank, is of the opinion that
we have passed through a critical financial
period but that the situation has improved
greatly and there IS fear OF serious
business disturbance. Mr.. Clarke comes In
touch with the financial world through some
thirty corporations with which he is associated
as q director or trustee. Among them the
Mutual Life Insurance Company. the Delaware
& Hudson Railroad Company. the Commercial
Cable Company, the Long Island Railroad. the
Washington Life Insurance Company. Swift &
Co and the Federal Sugar Refining Company.
Mr.. Clarke was extremely cautious in ex-

HOLDS SOCIALISM TO BLAME.
Attacks on Corporations Also Responsible for
Conditions, Says H. s. Black.

Harry S. Black. president of the United States
Realty and Improvement Company says that
while conditions are not such to warrant the
use OF the phrase business depression" yet
there is and will continue to be a general cur
tament He thinks 1t will be useless to look
for boom in business generally so long as II is
popular for men in official position TO attack
corporations Unfortunately.
In addition to being interested in many largo
realty and building corpora tions. Mr.. Black is a
director of the Battery Park National Bank the
Republic Iron and Steel Company and several
mining companies.
There Is no business depression at the present
time said Mr.. Black but there Is every indi-
cation OF business curtaiment throughout the
country. From the present outlook I should say
the volume of business for the next eighteen
months would be less than in the past
ITO what do you attribute this condition."
Mr.. Black was asked.
ITO large extent he replied, II attribute
1t to a lack of sufficient money to meet the in
creased demands of business. but principally 10
a lack of confidence on the part of capital, owing
TO the wave of socialism sweeping the
country and TO the general desire the part of
men holding important official and judicial posi-
tions to attack capital and corporations in gen.
eral.

Eats Horse Flesh.

Paris, Mar. Are you fond of
horse-f1esh? This is question which
will be asked in Paris shortly If the
increasing popularity of horsef1esh as
an article of food continues. Statis-
tics show that Of 2s,97S horses sold at
the Paris market last year in the
Boulevard de I'Hospital. 22,792 We're
sent direct to the slaughter house to
be prepared for human food.
The average weight OF edible flesh
from a horse being about five hundred
pounds, it is estimated that 22.500,000
pounds Of horsefesh were eaten in
Paris during 1906. In 1899 the amount
was 100000 pounds.
1t is stated that horseflesh is more
nourishing than either beef or mutton,
and much cheaper Some doctors rec
ommend the flesh of the horse to
patients who are in need of SUPER
alimentation. The only objection to it
is that the grain is somewhat coarser
that that of beef.
