Louis Sternberger. of Josephthal' Lou
cheim g. CO.. The statement or Presl-
dent Wilson regarding the business inter-
ests of the country should allay any
apprehension in their minds that the
government is hostile toward them. IL
shows plainly that the attitude OF the
administration has changed and that III
the future big business will be disturbed
a little as possible. I look for an increase
in business all over the country, and es-
pecially in Wall Street, as the public Will
now come into the market more readily
and especially so as a result OF the pas
sage OF the currency bill. which Will
ultimately prove relief to money condl-
lions throughout the United States.
