BUSINESS AND TRADE
CONDITIONS.

A circular letter issued by a con
servative financial institution. dealing
with general trade conditions, with a
business forecast for April. corrob-
crates the statements that have been
made by this paper from time to time
about the stagnation OF business and
the repression OF expansive move
ments. Money. for instance. which
has been scarce. is now easier. and
this is due to a slackening in bust
ness operations. Standard stocks and
bonds and other investments do not
look good TO the man with the money.
because prospects for earning divi-
dends and interest are not so good.
This is due to the inactivity OF bust
ness.
The circular naively suggests that
n slight reaction in business should
take place after the adjournment Of
Congress. which is qualified by the
condition that no unusually radical
legislation goes through at this SEES
ion. This IL an admission that the
Democratic Congress is doing all the
mischief. a view that is accepted by
all intelligent observers of the causes
of the present depression in the bust.

the situation more depressing. That
is why there is no hopeful outlook FOR

Railroad gross earnings reported
for February show a decline OF ten
per cent compared with the same
month year ago. Decreases are
shown by every Individual road. The
only hopeful outlook for the railroads
Is the crops OF 1914. but that ele-
ment OF help is long way of. More
than 10000 freight cars were idle
the first OF the month in comparison
with $1,000 the same period last year.
Another feature OF the situation
dwelt upon Is the iron and steel trade.

members of the party throughout the
State IL will be remembered that at

ing convention. Changes have been
made in the rules governing the
election of delegates and basis OF rep
resentation. and these matters have
been referred TO the Republicans OF
the various States for action.
The convention will afford an op-
portunity for the mingling OF Repub-
icans together IN counsel upon other
matters pertaining to the welfare of
the party. and will also evidence the
good faith OF the party to remove al
objections to the methods OF pro-
cedure in the election OF delegates,
that so hampered the harmony of the
Chicago convention of 1912. With
this duty performed there will be no
reason for a division OF the Repub-
lican forces at the coming election
next November. a consideration of
vital importance to the continuation
OF Republican control over the affairs
of West Virginia.
