We start the new year with general sentiment somewhat more hopeful, and yet people are extremly conserya' tive and are likely to remain SO until business activity is greater and until this activity is expressed in larger profits.
 The effect of the railroad rate de- clsion is yet to be felt There is less danger of a further reduction Of rail- road dividends. Railroads are being run on better business basis than before Every dollar possible Is be- ing saved.
 With farm products worth $lOOOO,- 000OOO the country is certainly sound. Money. already easy is bound to be easier All that Is needed is for our agricultural resources to move free ly. London cable says that the Bank of England has sold n consignment of S5.070.O0O in foreign coin, and this is believed to be transfer on behalf Of the Bank of Ottawa to New York ac- count,
 The situation abroad receives more and more attention There arc great possibilities in the foreign demand for our breadstuffs and manufacturers. This demand must increase as foreign supplies decrease.
 No danger is felt that we shall have any serious trouble with England over foreign commerce. We shall undoubt- edly arrive at some mutually favor able understanding,
 Better conditions are anticipated in the security market We are likely to see 9 market of specialties for a while with perhaps the industrials the iaYorites. but unless Europe liquidates seriously the trend of prices should be higher
