CONDITION
IS EXPECTED SOON
Advent of New Year Expected
to Bring Change in Bust
ness Situation.

casual survey Of the local finan-
cial situation shows no startling
change during the past week. The gen.
eral financial depression throughout
the country is naturally felt here
though to no greater extent than else
where The money market. tight TO a
marked degree all summer and fall.
still shows a tendency to loosen up.
Local business and real estate men re-
port no serious difficulty in securing
money when the case warrants it. and
money is plentiful where good security
is offered
Impending decisions by the Supreme
court and the interstate commerce
commission have caused financiers to
conserve their resources until action Is
taken. Decisions in the tobacco trust
cases will be handed down by the ma
tons highest tribunal shortly. and It
Is confidently expected that they will
force the combinations 10 dissolve
This is looked upon as an almost
certainty. although 60 IS not expected
to seriously hamper the situation The
demand viii remain in its present
state. and the steady consumption will
naturally mean that the tobacco mag
mates Will discover some way of keen
ing up the output. Tt is understood
that plans 10 this end have already
been worked out
New Years dawn is being awaited
with keen anticipation. When that
comes. operations i'm most every line
viii take on an impetus: money will
be more liberal; conditions will read
Just themselves TO a normal state. and
the whole country will be decidedly
more prosperous. That is the opinion
held by business men.
Local realty business has Iivened up
in the last few days. Dealers report a
big increase in sales. even saying that
numerous lots have been transferred
as Christmas presents. other bust
nesses also report Improvement.
