New York.-Rational optimism, un.
alloyed 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 basic
conditions are excellent and there is
good reason to look for a steady and
healthful, II not spectacular i'm
provement in the volume Of business.
The crops-perhaps the most import
ant Of all economic factors-have
been bounteous again. Some Of the
staple crops, 1T is 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 vitality important Of all, has
exceeded all precedent by an excess of
something like a million and half
bales. .
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:
"The fact that there is no accumu'
lation of unsold 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 1t follows that the consumption
Indispensable to 90,000,O0O people
must make business along the line"
The disturbing factors In the stu.
stion most commonly cited are the
unsettler conditions Of the currency
problem, the incomplete evolution OF
the precise federal attitude toward the
big business" enterprises commonly
designated as trusts, and the uncer.
tainties incident to a presidential elec-
ton year.
Signs are not lacking that the presl.
Dental election bugaboo, however, Is
becoming less fearsome spectre on
the business horizon than 1t has been.
So high an authority as James G.
Cannon, president Of the Fourth Ma.
tional bank Of this city, says:
81 see no reason why the country
should be much disturbed by the com.
ing campaign. Unless the contest
should develop unlocked for compli.
cations. business is not likely to be
much hampered by 1t. The healthfu
mercantile position Of the country is
to my mind one of the most hopeful
features of the outlook. Business men
have pursued such a conservative,
course 80 long that they are excep-
tionally well prepared to meet what.
ever comes. Their general position is
intrinsically sound"
In like tone c.. Stuart Patterson,
president OF the Western Savings
Fund Society of Philadelphia, says:
This country is not going to stand
still because OF the coming presidcn.
tial election. 1t will go right on pro
gressing."

Esp,slnlnq Flow Of SAP.

There Is quite mystery surround
ing the solution of the forces which
start the flow of sap In the trees In
vestigations made In the case OF the
maple. which starts ms early as. II not
earlier than. any other tree to flow.
II has been found that the tempera-
ture seems to have only an indirect
influence. The conclusion has been
reached that neither expansion of gas
In the wood. nor expansion OF water.
nor expansion of the wood itself. is
the underlying cause of the pressure
which produces the flow. but that this
pressure arises from the effects OF
temperature in altering the osmotic
permeability of the pith-ray cells.
