NEW YORK. Feb. 29.-Daniel
Guggenheim. president OF the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining company,
who will sail Tuesday for a three
months vacation abroad, talked yes
terday of general business conditions.
THE metal business, as WHOLE"
said Mr. Guggenheim, has suffered
in this depression more severely than
was to have been expected for even
such a sensitive barometer of bust
ness conditions. Copper. in my judg-
ment, has taken the place formerly
held by steel and iron as the index
of business conditions. The metal
felt the reaction last year months in
advance OF steel and general mercan-
tile enterprises. Indications point to
turn upward in the tide. Enter
prises which were halted incomplete
last winter will be financed now In
my judgment, there will be steady
betterment throughout the year By
the time the elections have been de-
cided, fresh capital will be forth
coming.

DISEASED CATTLE PROBLEM.

The statement that about $4,000 has
been paid by the State during the past
year for cattle affected by tuberculosis
which were killed by order OF State
vetcrinaries has caused considera bile
comment. In talking of the matter peo-
pie should consider not only last years
expenditure but the expenditures OF all
the years since the law was enacted. 1t
will be conceded that the sum Of SAC. 600
is but a small part Of the States
expenditure for this purpose and that the
expenditure OF this amount OF money
should give beneficial results.
When results are considered however
the findings are not at all satisfactory
1t certainly cannot be said that the dis
ease has to any appreciable extent been
eradicated or that there is any safe vay
to prevent the Introduction OF the disease
