MACVEAGH is OPTIMISTIC
Secretary of Treasury Says
Country Is Taking Breath

Boston, Sept H-Optimistic Views on the
business situation were expressed to-day
by the Secretary OF the Treasury. Franklin
Macveagh, who was in this city after
visiting President Taft a. Beverly.
Regarding the general business situa-
ton" said Secretary MacVeagh. 'T am
not a pessimist. The country Is simply
pausing to take breath. After It's headlong
fight OF 1905 and 1909 a setback was in
evitable and will be OF immense good. The
banking situation. from the reports that |
hear, is sound enough and the national
treasury is on Easy street"
Nothing new this fail is contemplated
in government finances. The s000o,O0
bond issue came out az the psychological
moment and was huge success, so that
further government bond issues are dis
tinctly improbable for year. The stem
u,inder' success Of the new postal savings
banks may, however, eventually expedite
the funding OF the moneys due the govern
ment on the Panama Canal work, now
some 500 100000 by providing an outlet for
the new issue.
Now is the time for stock taking-it is
the opportune moment for merchants and
bankers 10 take a dead reckoning. The ma
ton has now got itself into the frame OF
mind where, unless all cereal crops from
wheat and corn 10 hay and potatoes, are
bumper. IL feels abused. This year the
fine prospects Of a bumper cotton crop are
beclouded by the gloom induced by the
approximate Is per cent shortage IN the
cereal crops which will still be above the
average The fact that the country II enor-
mously prosperous agriculturally, and IL
likely to remain so, seems 10 have been
entirely overlooked.
The Monetary Commission VIII make its
report in a few months embodying the
Aldrich plan. with some minor amend
ments. and il rs 10 be sincerely hoped that
this new and comprehensive scheme VIII
he adopted. As soon as the country al
large appreciates the fact that the PROPOSE
ton is no, a central bank Idea opposition
should var.ish.
we have made . tremendous step for
ward this year in furtherng the progress
NJ the Aldrich plan. Politics has been taken
out OF the department and the standard of
hank examination materially raised. while
the splendid initiative Of Controller Murray
has worked wonders with our esprit de
cnrng"
