New York.--Rational optimism, un-
slioyed with a. bombastic exuberance
or extravaganza OF expectation is the
keynote OF the business forecast for
the year 1912.
Almost without exception the high
authorities quoted agree that besic
conditions are excellent and there Is
good reason to look for q steady and
healthful. IL not a spectacular i'm
provement in the volume of business.
The crops-perhaps the most import
ant of all economic factors-have
been bouateous again. Some of the
staple crops. 1t 10 true. have not quite
equaled the bumper proportions OF
their record" years, but they have
been SO large that only In one or two
Instances. have the figures been ex-
ceded. while the cotton crop. one of
the most vitally important OF all, has
exceeded all precedent by an excess OF
something like million and half
bales. t fIll -.4.s
From every section OF the country
money is reported easy and collections
good.
When he was asked what he consid-
cred the most Helpful feature OF the
outlook with reference to the general
business situation, A. Barton Hepburn,
chairman of the board OF directors OF
the Chase National bank. replied:
'"rhe fact that there is no accumu-
lation of unsoid goods, either on the
shelves OF the retailers, in the store
houses of the wholesalers or In the
hands of the manufacturers. and that
consumption has overtaken production
all along the line with reference to
metals, fabrics and merchandise gen.
orally it follows that the consumption
Indispensable to 90.0o0,000 people
must make business along the line"
The disturbing factors in the sltu-
stiOn most commonly cited are the
unsettier conditions of the currency
problem. the incomplete evolution OF
the precise federal attitude toward the
big businessY enterprises commonly
designated as trusts, and the uncer.
tainties incident to presidential elec

to my mind one Of the most hopeful
features OF the outlook. Business men
have pursued such conservative

tionally well prepared to meet what
ever comes. Their general position is
intrinsIcally sound"
In like tone G. Stuart Patterson

Fund Society Of Philadelphia, says:

still because of the coming presiden
tial election. 1t will go right on pro
