The prevailing opinion that county
orders are worth but fifty cents on the
collar, all arises from the fact that
people will sell for that price and not
on account of an inability on the part
of the county to pay her debts. The
county pays the full face for her orders
and those who buy for so cents are the
persons who buy for so cents are the
persons who make the profits.

MAY, 1911, will go down in the an

that month the supreme court Of the

wealth. All through the maze OF

Full Effects Not Yet Felt.

1T is as yet too early for the full e. |
fects of the decisions to have made
themselves felt on the country at
large, but we believe that as time
goes on and a better understanding is
had of the reasoning which led to the
ruling of the court, the value OF the
decisions will be more generally rec
ognized. We are quite prepared to
admit that temporary unsettlemsnt o.
the market might accompany the ell
forced dissolution of two OF the great
est industrial corporations of present
times. On the other hand, the spc-
tire of suspense which has been SC
long lowering in the vision of the
American business man has at last
been removed, and as we have fire.

general looks favorable. 1t is true
that business shows no marked tend
ency to expansion-the recent cut in
steel prices indicates that. At the
same time it must be remembered
that great bodies move slowly, and it
often takes time for better feeling
to be engendered in a people, espe.
cially after a period of depression. II
must also be remembered that we
would now be starting from an entire
ly different plane than after the panic
of 1907. Then the movement was a
forced one and had no sound basis
now merchants have no accumulation
of goods to speak of-indeed, in many
lines the buying for some time has
been of a purely hand-to-mouth char
acter-the stock market has passed
through a period of drastic liquida

contraction in average prices: bank
loans have decreased, while deposits
have increased, and the reserves are
still large. In addition, the corps give
