and because of the impossibility of
placing new issues under existing
financial conditions. Meantime, the
needs of the railroads are accumulat-
ing and it is only a question of time
when they will be compelled to enter
the market as buyers upon a large
scale Economy can not, indefinitely
be carried on to the verge of starva-
ton. Perhaps the most satisfactory
signs of improvement to be observed
anywhere are in the cotton goods in
dustry- The drop in cotton not only
enables manufacturers to adjust them
selves between the cost of production
and selling prices, but also stimulates
the demand for goods by enabling dis
tributers to make more attractive
prices In other branches of trade
business is quiet and of hand-to- mouth
character. Collections have been
SLOW but there are no reports of un-
soundness or general overproduction.
In Wall street there has been a dis
tinct Improvement in sentiment and a
moderate hardening of values A feel
ing that all known unfavorable ele-
ments had been amply discounted is
gradually extending. Reactions may
come, but under present conditions
there is not room for any further seri-
Gus depreciation in values, and the
outlook favors advancing rather than
declining prices"

FROM OTHER PENS
MOVEMENT OF BUSINESS.

Rv careful nursing, with untoWard
influence eliminated, the business con-
ditfon of the country could soon be re-
stored to normal. judging from re-
norts and statements of DunS ana
otEer commercial authorities. Even
with many extraneous obstacles TO
meet the movement of trade continues
encouragingIy toward higher stand
ards Dun's says. in spite of war, in
dustriaI disputes and other influences
tending to impair confidence and re-
tard enterprise, the movement OF trade
continues large, although still below
producing capacity and the recent
gradual Improvement is maintained.
1t is extremely unfortunate to have
had a train of contidence-shaklng ele-
rents assert themselves at a time when
the tide of commercial activity was al
ready low, though beginning to rise

The IrrepressibIe Traveller.

What is the use of telling Mr. Taft
he travels too often and talks too
much? Good advice, but it seems that
it does not even dimple the placid sur
face of the presidents enjoyment in the
passing scene. With half OF his big as
days trip behind him, he is a better
man in healtaN in theft" and in spirits
than when he started.
Things have happened that might
have shaken the complacency of a less
buoyant wanderer. MT. Taft has heard
crowds cheer the local Elijahpogram
clans who played his host have taken
pains to rush into print the same day
with avowals of loyalty to another
presidential candidate. He has had his
conservation policy denounced by
land convention just before he was
fair, as he arose to speak, the mana
gers pulled off an exhibition half-mile
by a pacing mare, also an insurgent
without bit or bride, driver or We
hicle," and he had to halt his address
until his equine rival had made the
circuit and the crowd had faced about
again.
Depressed by these untoward hap
penings? No more than by the physi
cal discomforts of travel, which is not
at all. A main advantage of his trips,
according to Mr.. Taft. is that he gets
away from a newspaper environment
wherein he is constantly hammered for
one set of shortcomings into other
newspaper environments where his in
terest in himself is stimulated by the
revelation of new sets of shortcomings.
That, however. is but raillery The bot
tom fact is that travel is the presi-
dents recreation, and his spirits rise
whenever he hears the click of railroad
wheels beneath him.-NeW York
