Sometimes swift. sometimes slow,

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE
PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

ried their own refutation in the fact
that as long as the investigation was
in progress and no report had been
submitted by the committee that is
conducting it, it is highly unlikely that
definite steps in instituting new suits.
With the favorable harvest prospects,
however. there is every reason to be-
lieve that demand from consumers
for the products of industry will begin
to make itself felt in the near future.
Stocks of goods in the hands of whole
sale distributors are not large, and in
like condition. Therefore. when the
consumer begins to purchase merchan-
disc to meet his actual requirements
he will be apt to start movement in
merchandise distribution that will
promptly extend through the various
channels from retailer to producer, and
not only will retail stocks have to be
increased to normal proportions, but
the various other channels which have
been drawn upon in the day to day de-
mand that has been the feature of the
last few months will necessarily be
readjusted to the urgency of consum-
ers' accumulated requirements. This
means, in its turn, "A sudden advance
from present unsatisfactory mercantile
conditions to distinct activity, for in
due course the filling up to normal
proportions of the various avenues
of distribution must take place coin
cidentiy with the commencement of
the actual demand. We have, there
fore, in sight period of mere antile
and industrial activity which needs
but slight encouragement to assume
large proportions.
The Copper Producers associations
statement for May showed an increase
in stocks of the metal of 440,024
pounds, notwithstanding that domes-
tic deliveries exceeded the April to-
tai by more than 100000 pounds.
The iron and steel industry also show
ed quieter condition towards the
close of the week.
Money conditions still remain one
of the most favorable factors in the
general situation. Not only do the
banks throughout the country show
| abundant reserves, but a considerable
balance in our favor is available
abroad and will become evident in
the form of gold imports as soon as
| money rates on this side justify the
| transfer. This means a continuance
of ease in the money market for some
! time to come, extending at least until
the agricultural sections make theil
usual demands upon the money cen
| tiers for funds to finance the marketing
of the crops.
| Prospects continue to favor an ex
cellent market for traders with active
and wide fluctuations to furnish FIRE
quent opportunities for profitable ope
rations.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
BLOW TO LOAN SHARKS.

The appellate division of the New
York supreme court has handed down
a decision in which it is held that the
right of extortionate money lenders to
coerce their victims by threats of ex-
posture can no longer be recognized.
At the time the senate District of Co.
lumbia committee struck another blow
in the same direction, emancipating
the men and women of Washington.
The committee had before it bill
which would allow the money lenders
to charge 2 per cent a month and to
loan to one person as much as $500
but no more. The committee cut the
interest to IL per cent and made 500
the maximum amount to be loaned to
one person.

SUPERSTITION.


Poor Mr.. Skeeryman! He leads a
mournfui life.
Every time you spill the salt. he looks
for care and strife;
Then thinks the new moon wasted,
with its gentle silver light,
If he observes it to- the left instead
of to the right.
Never undertakes a thing when Fri
day comes along,
Says the days hoodoo and you're
certain to go wrong:
Shudders when a cross-eyed man ap-
pears upon the scene;
Loses hope completely at the mention
of 13.
The bowling of homeless dog will
fill his soul with grief.
II he walks beneath ladder he will
tremble like leaf.
Poor Mr.. Skeeryman! He never gets
rest.
He reaches out for trouble and he
hugs it to his breast.
A QUESTION OF PROSPERITY.
You expect your apartment houses
to last for several generations. don t
you?" said the man with a row of
children at his side.
They are built to stay" replied the
agent proudly.
And you think it would be a good
thing for everybody to live in apart
ments.
Most pleasant and convenient mode
of existence possible"
We'll what I want to know is this:
If you persuade everybody to occupy
apartments and then deny homes to
peaple who have children, how do You
expect your heirs to find tenants for
your buildings?''
