A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE

New York, Aug. 29.-The events OF

important check to a further rise In

uncertainty in business circles. 1t is

of the leading issues in the coming
campaign. 1t is doubtful IL any import.

Nevertheless. the country is making
excellent progress, not only in recov-
ering Its equilibrium, but in actual re-
cuperation. Fortunately our crop out
look Is better than a month ago. Corn
has been making steady progress dur

capped. Cotton is also doing well and
should, IL free from frost, turn out
larger than at one time anticipated.
It will be remembered that wheat
has already disappointed the pessimis-
tic predictions of July. There is.
therefore, now little or no danger Of
crop failures. and the country is al
most certain of securing fairly salts
factory harvest. Although prices are
frequently lower than year ago, they
will yield good profits to farmers.
This probably explains the continued
optimistic reports which come from
the west, that section having steadily
refused to seriously sympathize' with
the pessimism which has spread all
through the east. The further west

There has been a noticeable Inn
provement in the banking situation at
the interior. resulting from the precau-
tions enforced by bankers for the last
month or six weeks. Liquidation has
not only checked unhealthy specula-
ton in the interior. but has forced a
freer marketing of crops which had
been held back for higher prices. This
was strikingly demonstrated by the re-
