OPTIMISM IN FACE,

The Present Case.
A third familiar cause Is sudden de-
alton, whereby the usual supplies of
credit for the machinery of trade are
suddenly reduced War may oc-
casion this, and war certainly had a
hand in causing 1t. year or so ago, in
Europe. Beyond doubt. our own mar
ket has long been experiencing the
reflex influence Of that European strin-
gency. But the manner in which this
month has opened gives the suggestion
that at least the acute and trouble
some phase of that episode is over.
But. last of all, trade reaction will
sometimes come about through simple
uncertainty and apprehension. The
business community rs a whole may
hesitate TO embark in anything but the
most restricted enterprise. for fear
that something, not always clearly de-
fined. will overwhelm it, Probably
this Is the closest diagnosis OF the ex-
listing situation. 1t is at any rate
fairly plausible. in the case of a
community which. during six or eight
months past. has had even responsible
bankers hurting at II predictions of a
coming panic which, If 1t did not
come because of the attitude of the
administration, would surely follow
revision Of the tariff, and, If 1t did
not come with that, would be caused
by the new banking law. But II this
is the real basis of the present trade
reaction. then diagnosis and prognosis
ought equally to be possible, as a
sequel to the panic that never came.
