THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

Much comment is being INDUCED in
these days on the business situation.
The pessimists in the field, as usual,
make the most noise. But they really
haven't the facts to back up their
arguments that are possessed by those
of optimistic tendencies While it is
true that business is not rampant in
any section of the country, it approx
mates the normal, and that means a
business of large volume. And there
are more good reasons indicating that
business will be much better in the
immediate future than there are that it
will grow worse. a birds eye view of
the situation is presented by Henry
Clews, the New York banker and
economic authority in his weekly
financial review, as follows:
THE business situation is uneven
tions of the northwest. where crops
have fallen below expectations or
where excessive speculation has pro-
duced reaction. business is below the
normal, and bankers in those sections
report reactionary tendencies. On the
other hand, where crops have been
good, there are no signs of reaction,
and an optimistic feeling still prevails.
The fact that farmers are still obtain
ing good prices for their products and
are sure of year of fair though les
sened prosperity, gives general trade
in such regions a substantial basis for
confidence That trade is fair in vol
une is proved by railroad earnings,
which as rule ore well maintained,
and in some cases show moderate
gains. The chief complaints of rail-
road managers arise from the heavy
increase in expenses and the frequent
heavy losses in net earnings
THE most prosperous section of the
country is evidently the south. Though
the cotton crop is spotty. there is no
doubt but that we will have a bum per
yield. some good authorities estimating
as high as 100000, bales and over
The price of cotton has fallen sharply
in consequence, but the enormous
yield even at lower prices means pros
perity for the southern farmers and a
large influx of good money into the
south. Better for all concerned a
large crop at moderate prices than a
small crop at high prices.
I'm the iron and steel trade there is
fair degree of activity. but while the
volume of business is still below ex-
pectations, price concessions have at
least served to stimulate orders. AT
the moment the railroads are very
small purchasers of material, because
of necessary retrenchment in expenses
