BUSINESS ON
/. A SOUND BASIS
Men of Country Who Re-
view Conditions Predict
Fall Boom
PLENTY OF
WORK FOR ALL
Merchants Demand Settle
ment of Tariff Questions
and Currency

New York, Aug. 4.--Bank presidents
railway presidents, manufacturers anc
merchants in widely separated sections
of the country, present through the col
umhs of The n. Y. Sun yesterday com.
prehensiye review of existing business
conditions, and forecast of the fall and
winter seasons now approaching.
Those who recorded their deliberate
| judgment regarding the economic and in
dustrial situation of the United States
include not only financial authorities OF
unquestionable reputation, and those OPP
Grating nation wide Industries, but men
at the head of factories supplying ar
ticles of individual household use, as well
as department stores and other retail
establishments which come in direct con-
tact with consumers day after day, week
in and week out.
Examination of this presentment of
conditions as they actually exist indi-
Gates that some sections of the country
are more buoyant than others; that GER
tain lines of business are more active
than others, and consequently more con-
tident.
In this national broadside of business
Judgment, two things stand out with
luminous distinctness:
First Business men all over the land
demand that their Representatives and
their Senators at Washington settle the
yexing questions Of tariff and currency
so as to permit an early return OF gem
eral prosperity. Also is heard the de-
mand that government officials cease per-
scouting the railways, and ollow them to
conduct the transportation of freight and
passengers on sound business principles.
Second The business men of the
United States. both great and smaller,
who voice their opinions are absolutely
convinced that basic conditions OF the
country are sound; that unsettled eondi-
tions here or there are temporary.
Between the lines OF these matter of
fact statements may be read the unques
toned belief that long continued slow
ing mp of general business is impossible
in country with a population OF more
than ninety millions, who are aecus-
toned to abundant food, adequate shell
ter, excellent clothing the best of food,
and who must have steady employment
wherewith to purchase such necessaries
as well as to provide innumerable COM
forts, uNlries, amusements, and eduea-
tional faculties which the American peo-
pie possess to an extent never approach
ed by any other nation in history.

You would hardly think it TO look at
them, yet the lobster is u relative Of

clam and the snail or the whale and
the giraffe, whose spheres Of activity
are so widely separated.
1t is simply, as Darwin pointed out
in the case of all other creatures

and its friends, the crab. the prawn
and the shrimp, chose one method OF
life, while the butterfly and its set
chose another.

Rub flour and alum together with the
water until you have a paste Of the con

While the mass Is still hot add the

Topics of the
Home and
Household.

In cellar or pantry, where it is diff
cult to keep the air dry, place bowls
of unslacked lime on shelves near the
food. The lime, of course, should be re-
newed from time to time.
To have your clothes clean and beau
tifulay white, place slice of lemon with
the rind cut off in the boiler. The re-
suit is surprising and will not in any
way hurt or injure the clothes.
While tomatoes are still plentiful,
stew lot tender; then press through
sieve and return to the stove with
a tablespoonful of salt for every quart
of liquid. Boil till thick like catsup
and bottle or put in jars while still
hot says the New Haven Journal Cour-
Ter. This makes delicious soups or forms
the basis of tomato sauce.
To relieve the fatigue of the eyes aft
er a long day spent out of doors, battle
them with warm solution of boracic
acid, soaking pads Of absorbent wool in
the lotion and laying them over the eyes
for few minutes, changing them two
or three times. This rests and soothes
them and restores their brightness.
Raspberry Jam. Take a pound of
sugar--or, better still, a pound and a
quarter-to each pound of fruit Mac
crate the raspberries for three or four
hours in powdered sugar. Then put
them into a preserving pan with half
the sugar, and cook them on a quick
fire, says the Ladies' World When the
raspberries have melted, pour the whole
on rather fine sieve, 50 that the ex-
tremely small seeds cannot pass through.
Rub them through the sieve with wood
en- spoon. Put the pulp back into the
pan with the other half Of
the sugar. Boil up quickly until the
jam has attained suitable consistence.
Take the pan off the fire, allow to cool
and pour into pots.

day. The supply on most goods up TO the de-

sales, but later quotations resumed steady fin.

the market, the figures declining, giving those goods
a movement New potatoes remained firm and sold
fairly well. Cantaloupes passed unchanged. Grapes
and plums had a good movement. Slow sales for
ordinary apples prevailed but the choice eating ap-
pies continued in excellent demand. The feeling on
eggpants much easier. resulting in lower quota

terry. This palace will live up to M
high-sounding title only II expectations
do not attempt a flight beyond the borS
ders Of what humanity speaking Is pos
sible of realization"
This is advice rather out OF the ordiN
nary The spirit OF its acceptance is not
reported.
But is not the advice good and ths
warning timely? II has been urged often
enough against peace advocates and the
peace propaganda in general that ths
first were Missionaries and the latter an
impractical dream Anything in reason
that can be done to change this aspect
of the case is, at least worth consider
ing.
There Is no utility In trying the impos-
sible. The statesman or private citizen
who believes that wars can be abolished
and universal brotherhood established by
small efforts or within a short space Of
years merely justifies the slurs Of hts
critics.
The reform can be attained only by
hard, persistent endeavor, by an appeal
to the patriotic good sense Of the people
of all nations

WALL STREET GOSSIP

E Randolph-Both industrials and rail-
roads reached a new high level yester-
day. Students of charts say this is a
hullish indication. To the writer's mind
the principal reason why the market is
going up is that it was most thoroughly
iiCuidated and there were no stocks for
sale. Its technical position was such
that it could not respond in any degree
to bad news and was most susceptible to
any influence for the better. The talk
OF a Union Pacific extra dividend has
given it this flip. OF course. Union
Pacific has a large amount of cash in
its treasury, but it has been lending
money on six months time in Wall
Street and also investing heavily in
short-time notes. 1t, therefore, would
not seem that there was any immediate
prospect of a large cash distribution. The
assured passage of the tariff bill seems
to have had an influence for the better
on general business.

Port had been discounted during the

Such rapid rise in Union Pacific de-
veloped from the heavy buying on re-
ports of an extra dividend probability
that the big shorts deemed 1t inadvisa-
BILE to further resist the upward move
ment. Their heavy covering, together
with the large increase in new specula-

A. G. Plant & Co.-rhe trading yester-
day had all the characteristics Of a big
speculative movement to drive in the
shorts and to make the market as at
tractive as possible for local and out
side traders to come In on the bull side
following the rise. While legitimate con-
ditions do not favor a genuine bull move
ment, rise in prices can be continued
and carried further as long as the big
interests render such aggressive support
to such a movement as they have the last
two days. This is the reason why there
was so much covering of shorts by the
bear element yesterday.
Financial America-Persistent accumu-
lation is in progress and buyers so con-
fident of their position as to pay no heed
to either the financial situation or the
crop outlook.

There is an absence of the London buy

The attitude of bullish activity in the
stock market continues to appeal to US
as the logical one. Stocks of worth that
have not advanced sharply should later
have their turn. and traders who miss
hrst opportunities should be governed
accordingly. Prices are seeking their
proper level after two years OF unreason-
able depression
