Heavy Gain in Cash.

The bank statement disclosed the ex-
pected heavy gain in cash. due to the
inflow of money from interior banks.
which expected to loan their funds at the
increased rates which usually prevail at
the end of the year. The actual table
showed cash gain of more than ST.
100000, an increase of 100000 in net
deposits and an accompanying. increase
of $1SOOO,O00 in loans.
Despite reports of brisk holiday
trade and better conditions in many
lines of business, the fortnightly report
on idle freight cars showed that the
surplus had virtually doubled in number
within the last period. The increase ex-
tends over every section of the coun-
try.
Another of the large western roads
reported a decrease in earnings for No
yember. Northern Pacifc's- gross re-
turns fell of $4,000. but a reduction

Prosperity After Election.

In milder tone. but undoubtable is the
view expressed by Robert Wardrop. presi-
dent Of the Peoples National Bank OF
Pittsburgh:
while 1t is true there are some dis
turbing elements interfering with the bust
ness situation OF today, such as trust agi-
tation and politics, there Is certainly no
reason whatever to feel blue when we
look into the future. Business may drag
somewhat until after the presidential cleo
ton or until such time as we can fore
cast the results of the election. After the
election, whether under a democratic or
republican adm pistration. we will cer-
tainly have several years OF great pros
perity, and it should be genuine prosper
ity, because we are not far enough away
from the experiences of 1907 to become
reckless
1t is appreciated, of course, lat Amer

by Oscar L. Telling. pres dent of the First
National Bank og Pittsburgh, whose view
Is thus:
There has been decided improve
ment in sentiment regarding general bust
ness conditions in the last two or three
weeks. This is especially the case with
the iron and steel trade, the most impor-
tant form of business activity in the
Pittsburgh district. AN Indication Of this
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-12-31

Improvement is seen In the fact that or
ders issued during the first week OF De
cember for the banking of several FUR
naces over the holidays were rescinded
AS steel mills are more likely to close
for repairs at this season of the year
than to open after period of idleness,
the assumptions at present are few, but
production is being maintained and plans
for resumption early in January are rath-
er numerous.
For the past three months steel plants
may be said to have been running at
about Is per cent OF their capacity. but in
the first half Of January the prospect is
for 50 per cent to s. per cent of their
capacity. Another indication Of improve
ment in this industry Is the pay rolls,
which are larger now than they were
three months ago. Still a third indica-
ton of Improvement is an advance Of
80 cents ton in billets with daily eX-
pectation of higher prices in other steel
products. And this week the Standard
Oil has advanced the price which it pays
for Pennsylvania crude oil from $1.3O to
$1.35, the first advance in price in many
months.

NEW YORK, December 3O.-The last
day of the year on the stock exchange
brought brisk business at rising prices.
Speculative opinion seemed to be more
cheerful It was largely a market of
specialties, for while the standard stocks
advanced, their gains were confined to
point or less. as contrasted with upward
movements of several points for some OF
the less prominent issue.
The trading element took advantage of
the movement in the specialties to close
out some lines of the leading issues, but
the market absorbed these realizing sales
easily. The stability of the list in the
face of the diversion of interest to OBJ
scure stocks helped to improve senti-
ment.
Ore Certificates Gain.
Great Northern Ore certificates and In
terborough-M Metropolitan preferred We're
among the most prominent. The ore
certificates rose Az points, and the trac-
ton shares 81. Virginia Iron jumped 3
points to 81. a rise of 10 points in the
last two days. Buying of this stock
was accompanied by the report that the
company had sold coal lands to one of
the southern roads for an amount suf-
ficient to cancel the outstanding bonds.

Not Overly Optimistic.

I'VE have never sympathized with the
intense pessimism which has prevailed in
some quarters at times during this year,
and we are not at present very optimis-
tic; but we do look for somewhat better
business than has prevailed lately. feeling
that most of the unfavorable features OF
the year now closing have been discount
ed and that even the presidential cam
paign, which will occupy a large por-
ton Of 1912, will not disturb business
greatly. Our reason for this is that
stocks Of manufactured goods are low:
that it required an immense amount OF
goods to supply the needs of a nation
the size Of the United States; that the
total value Of the crops is large, and
that there is no indication Of financial
stringency."
In the northwest, just as in Pittsburgh,
the conservative observer sees betterment
ahead, as evidenced by the view ex-
pressed by President F. NJ. Prince Of the
First National Bank Of Minneapolis, who
says:
.'The outlook for business in the north
western states for the coming year is bet
ter than for the last year. While we DO
not anticipate nor care to see any Doom.
we believe the conditions have improved
and that business Is now on a, safer basis
than it has been for some little time.
1.-The receipts from our crops Of last
year have been fully equal to the aver
age year. While in some places there has
0c6n a SuTluhd6c Oil dCCOuHl VI Shoi taS
in crops, the general average we believe
to be most excellent and the prices have
brought up the money value to the usual
yearly amount. Our people are hopeful
and, in q general way, opt mistic.''
This estimate is emphasized by the fol-
lowing epitomization by Vice Presi ,e1t
George F. Orde of the First National
Bank of Minneapolis, who writes:
There Is quite a comfortable feeling
prevalent here in the west. While there
Is not the activity we have experienced
in the past two or three years, business
generally seems to be on a firm founda-
ton. II the presidential election were a
year away and less agitation of impend-
ing interference in the business of the
larger corporations, / should look for a
marked expansion in commercial activity.
More wealth has come into the north
western states from the sale Of the crop
than was anticipated, which has resulted
in a generally healthy condition in this
territory, and, while the coming political
campaign may have a slightly depressing
effect. there is no reason for any dis
couragement as to the promising outlook
fo. the future

ment. Good roads mean more to them than anyone else and while perhaps many do not real ize this, it has been the experi- ence of every road building com munity, that while the farmers were first lukewarm in their sup port, that once such roads are built, they become the most zea- lous and loyal partisans of every road improvement proposition.
 The whole country is alive to the cry for good roads and they are needed in no section more than in Jackson. Let us all unite in making the roads of Union Township a real demonstration of what our highRays should be.

At Tent Where Revival Is Hold ing F0rth"Life Worth
 While" Discussed.

The big crowd at the tent last night was delighted, entertained and benefited. Burke was at his best and drove great truths, in his own way, to the hearts and consciences of the people.
 His theme was Inventory of Life, or Is Life Worth Living 2 That depends upon how you live and what you live for, said the preacher.
 "Let us see what you are good for" said the preacher, and then he proceeded in such a way as to make each listener realize that he was the man balancing the ac- count of his own life.
 "I am a Good husband. Hold on there, let us see about that" Then he hewed to the line and all who heard him caught his score and some who were not there needed it and the reporter thought sHoW much some good women have lost by not getting their husbands out to hear that discourse last night. "
 The good citizen, neighbor, wife and others got their share and a conclusion was reached. T am good for nothing" a sad fact in regard to some men and women. Then the argument changed to one of hope and the happy home, good citizenship, neighbors and etc, and was fol lowed with great satisfaction, and those who had failed so far to live right were urged to try the right and sure way.
 Burke knows men of all classes, shades and sizes and lets them know that he knows them, then he loves men and hangs a star of hope in the sky for every traveller to follow to the life be- yond.
 Come and hear him.
 His subject tonight will be Excuses" If you have one, come and hear him, as he looks at it and let's see ourselves as others see us. A look might change the man. If it is for the best, why not let it be so.
