NEW YORK, Aug. 29-The high
class restaurants in the Wall street dis
trict which are patronized by brokers
and bankers, report a decided improve

restaurants and cafes of the better
class of the financial section, but with
the return of prosperity trade has
picked up rapidly.
When business is good and commits
sions plentiful the broker takes a party
of his best customers out to luncheon
with him almost every day, and, OF
course, foots the bills. He patronizes
naturally the best restaurants, and his
weekly bill for luncheons is consider
able of an item. In bad times, how
ever, they are forced to economic.
