OPTIMISTIC
j. j. Hill, However, Declares
That Business Conditions are
Depressed.

New York, Nov. 2l--Andrew Car-
neGlc. who will celebrate bis 18TH
birthday Wednesday. said today that
the United States was entering upon
a great era OF national prosperity;
that Europe would have to buy sup.
plies from the United States and that
he agreed with Charles NJ. Schwabs
views( on prosperity
Of course Mr.. Carnegie went on,
Mr. schwab wouldnt tell you any
thing, but you may be sure he made
a number of large contracts. That is
certain ! hear he went over for his
health"
Hill Less Optimistic.
James j. Hill takes q less optim-
istic view of conditions. lie said to,
day that the business Of the country
generally was depressed. He did not
attribute this 50 much to fear over
the effects of the tariff revision as to
federal and state legislation with re-
spect to railroad and corporations II
general. ... ....,s
The foundation Of the business OF
the railroads is the exchange of com
said Mr.. Hill. When this
IS not in progress, rs between indi-
vidnals. companies and others, the
traffic of the roads must suffer. This
is what is happening now.
Demand For Money.
There will be great demand for
money from Europe for a long time,
and as the governments of European
countries will be in urgent need Of
funds, they will be willing to pay
higher rates than have prevailed in
this Sas$isys Naturally therefore,
borrowers here will be compelled to
pay higher rates, This will impose
an :, additional burden upon the rail
roads"
