COUNTRY RESUMl NC
NORMAL CONDITION
The "October Panic" Is Already a
Thing of the Past-Railroad BusI-
ness Picking Up.

Washington, March 24.-Eyery indi.
cation points to an improvement gen
orally in the railroad and industrial
situation of the country, according to
reports made by the great railway sys'
tens of America to the interstate
commerce commission. These reports
are to the effect that. while the rail-
roads suffered to some extent by what
has come to be referred to as the
October Panic" the loss was by no
means so serious as generally has been
supposed.
1t appears from the reports that
the effect was felt particularly by the
eastern lines and by the lines in the
southeastern part of the country, a
few of which were embarrassed, not
only by a falling off of revenues. but
by their inability to obtain ready cash
with which to carry on improvements
which they had begun while the west.
ern lines and the trans-continental
roads have not suffered materially
from the financial depression. The
Figures available TO the interstate
commerce commission indicate also
that the general condition in the
country is improving materially, with
a prospect that It soon will be normal
Tor better.
