Reports on business are becoming
distinctly encouraging. Both jobbers
and manufacturers speak Of a quick.
ening of trade as a fact and the prom
Use Of bountiful crops is making Opt
mists everywhere.
Furthermore, that the revival
should not be long deferred is obvious
from the underlying conditions. The
country is not paying. as it has been
compelled to pay in the past for a
period of general speculation and wild
extravaganza. There has been, of
course, serious suffering from such
financing as was revealed in the New
Haven investigation and the effect of
the losses thus caused does not pass
away in a day. But there has been
no grand rush of crazed investors to
be followed by a violent reaction. On
the contrary, conservation and ex-
IRENE caution have been character
istic of the times. +
It is not then a question of going
through with penalties for miscon-
duct but of waiting for the immense
vitality of the country to assert inself
after a season of watchfulness and
economies. Under tn e. circumstances
we may as well believe that the optis-
ism expressed at the meetings of steel
manufacturers and other representa-
tives of big business is not merely of
the talking kind, These men + so
