Relative to inquiry as to how we view

months Of the year. We would say that in
some lines OF business close To the max.

lines moderate recessions are noted and IN
others. particularly those most largely
affected by proposed tariff changes. very
material curtailmcnt Is in evidence
Underlying conditions are good the
buying power of our people is great. as IL

reasonable profit II is surprising that this
is so NJ "A tim" when changes In our tarif

currency system are being discussed and
new currency legislation Is In cont empla-
ton and when money requirements are
fully equal to tho supply.

pert. IN the absence of general labor
troubles. continuance OF business nc.

As to money. the temporary require

been heavy. due to their inability TO soil
bonds at fair rates. and other corporations

all been for legitimate business purposes
A result. however. has been "A scarcity Of

separated sections Of the country. present
through the columns OF THE Sun to-day
"A comprehensive review of existing bus.
mess conditions. and "A forecast OF the
fall and winter seasons now approaching.
Those who here record their deliberate
Judgment regarding the economic and in
dustrial situation OF the United States,
include not only financial authorities Of
unqusstioncd reputation and those operat-

partment stores and other retail estab-
lishmcnts which come in direct contact
with consumers day after day, week In
and week out
Examination of this presentment Of
conditions as they actually exist indicates
that some sections OF the country are
more buoyant than others; that certain
lines of business are more active than
oth.,s. and consequently more confident.
In this rational troadside OF business
Judgment two things stand out with lu-
minous distinctness:
First Business men all over the nd
demand that their Representatives and
their Senators at Washington settle the
NcAinS questions of tariff and currency 50
as TO permit an early return Of general
prosperity Also is heard the demand
that Government officials cease persecut-
| ing the railways. and allow them to con-
| duct the transportation OF freight and
| pa passcngers on sound business principles
Second The business men OF the
United states. both great and smaller.
who voice their opinions in the following
columns. ar" absolutely convinced that
basic conditions OF the country are sound
that unsettled conditions here or there are
temporary.
Between the lines of these matter OF

toned belief that a long continued slow
ing up Of general business is impossible in
| a country with population OF more than
ninety millions, who are accustomed to

have steady employment wherewith to
purchase such ncccssarirs as well as to
provide innumerable comforts, luxuries

! which the American people possess to an
extent never approached by any other m.
ton in history.

grouped geographically. so that conditions
prevailing in one section of the country
or another may be readily ascertained.

PARIS. Aug. 2.-The Figaro explains the
origin Of the $675.000 pearl necklace
which was stolen recently in transit be-
tween Paris and London.
A pearl dealer in the Rue Lafayette. NJ.
G. -. decided to form the finest neck
lace in the world. hoping that W. X. Van
derbilt would buy II. He appealed to his
fellow dealers. asking each to give the
finest specimen OF pearls ne possessed,
each dealer agreeing TO take back his own
pearls In case the necklace could not be
sold
However. Max Mayer. the London
diamond merchant. bought the necklace
for $4,000. He expected to sell it for
$4,000, the sum which he now demands
from Lloyds as insurance.
Lloyds first proposed to refund the pur-
chase price. to which Mayer replied that
the purchase price did not concern any
one. He finally insured the necklace for
the selling price after 1t had been SUBJ
mtted to expert valuation.
