THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The commercial reporting agencies
note returning confidence i'm business
circles, although markets themselves
seem to lack buoyancy
Dun's says:
Although confidence in the future is
more noticeable than satisfaction with
present conditions, yet one by one dis
turbing elements are gradually dis
appearing. With bank clearings for the
week 80 per cent. larger than last year
and So per cent. larger than in 1906.
Il cannot be said that the volume OF
trade is of unsatisfactory proportions
There is more cause for surprise that
IL is so large than for disappointment
because it lacks tho element of buoy
ancy. While the railroads are still
confronted with many Of the problems
which have troubled them in tho last
four years, yet they are making a really
notable recovery from the depression
of 1908, the gain in gross earnings for
the month of March being 10.5 per cent
and with the new economies they are
reported in most instances large in
creases in net receipts.

fifty years in the manufacture of
mems good shoes The aim Of the
Brockton Shoe Company with its new

the ear marks of Brockton shoe-mak-
ing. and the feathers and lasts are Of

many purse demands; for it is right
here. The outlay viii not only be
moderate but economical.
The aim Of the store is 20 eliminate
TO large extent the middle profits
which add so much to shoe COSTS so
that its shoes at $3.50 and $500 are
sold every day at a much higher price.
Percy l.. Henderer is the man
, ager and tho popularity Of this young
man. coupled with the excellent
values in merchandise. forecasts a very

M. c. Robbins.

Oh listen 20 the Easter bells.
They're ringing out so clear.
To toll 10 all tho world around
The day we love is here.
We love It for It brings 10 us,
Redemption from the fall.
Tho blessed Christ-child rose that day,
TO save US one and all
Yesterday the tomb enclosed,
What we could call a mortal.
Now palms af=victory proudly wave.
Above an open portal.
He came forth victor from the grave,
To reign the King Of Glory.
And every heart is filled with Joy,
10 tell the Easter story.
And now the Easter flowers will bloom,
The Easter birds win sing,
And every voice will be attuned
With praises to our King.
The Easter music will ring out,
In tones both sweet and old;
Wen almost think we hear the angels
Strike their harps Of gold.
So when the Easter sun shall shine;
The bells ring out their lay,
They only tell us, one and all,
'Tis the blessed Easter day.
When to the tomb the angels came.
And rolled the stone away.
And Christ the Saviour burst the tomb
on the resurrection day.

COALs SITUATION

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
PHILADELPHIA, April 10-The ex-
pected statement from President Lewis Of
the United Mine Workers. was issued by
that official this afternoon. In part It fol-
lows:
ut is to be regretted that the anthracite
operators and miners representatives were
unable to reach an agreement in this city
this week.
1T is said that the operators have
granted a concession. This I cannot under
stand, as the operators refuse TO agree to
restore the wages Of those men which had
been reduced during the past three years
In direct violation OF the award Of the
strike commission.
"The operators representives refused
likewise to permit the mines represen-
tatives to sign Any proposition on behalf
Of the mineworkers Of the anthracite re-
gion."

bodies were found floating in the rivers
