LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The opening Of a new week does not
bring with 1t very much that is new in
the financial outlook. In this city. where
there is no special reason for taking pes
simistic mental attitudes In regard to the
future. there is no change In that particu-
lar. but In other places among those who
are more specially interested in the gen.
eral stock market and therefore. in the
condition of business. II is noted that a
tendency has developed of expressing
rather gloomy views of the prospects Of
trade.
This point of view is regarded as in

dicative of the stage in financial depres |
sion when the lowest point has been
reached. somewhat on the principle that
just before the dawn there is the darkest
period of the night. At any rate. this
trait of such movements, coupled with the
changes which are I'm the direction of bet
terment. point clearly to those familiar
with prevailing conditions that an upward
turn is about to be made and that from
this time on there is to be an improve
ment in the commercial situation.
The element of politics is still looked
upon as deterrent influence. and it is
believed that If the nominating conven-
tions were behind us instead of before us
and the various legislatures had adjourn
ed that then it might be expected the
progress toward a return to more normal
conditions in the business world would be
more rapid.
Disturbance to the ordinary course Of
business in the financial and commercial
markets in this city has not been of as
general or as complete character as has
been the case in other. cities. but of
course the effect has been felt here in
kind If not in quantity. In the same way
the recovery has been along the same
lines. as has been the case elsewhere, first
in the financial world and then in the
business world
Here the banks have regained their
usual reserves. and loans are again being
made not only on securities. but on real
estate The volume of such business is
by no means back to the usual level. and
in that respect the conditions here are
much the same as in other portions of
the country. The effect Of the shrinkaee
in the amount of business done in com
mercial circles is not quite as manifest
mere, where the number of the unemployed
has not received as many accessions as
in localities where industrial and other
esta blishments have either closed I'D or
gone on with a reduced number of
workers.
But still the change here is enough to
make every one at all concerned in such
