Stotesbury of Philadelphia Among Those Who See No
 Improvement Ahead
OTHERS, HOWEVER,
 ARE OPTIMISTIC
Reports From the Pacific Coast Es- pecially Are Regarded as Most Encouraging-Cotton Is in
 Much Better Position
By HOLLAND

New York, February 3.-(Speeial In his recent address to an organization of representative Philadelphia men, Edward Townsend stotesbury spoke as though he were greatly depressed not only by the present business conditions. but by the prospect for business in the future as far ahead as he could forecast. MT. Stotesburys prominence not only as the head of the Drexel- Morgan banking house of Philadelphia, but also as a director In many industrial, financial and railway activities, of course causes anything that he says to receive the closest atten- tion. When his recent remarks were pub 1icly quoted in this city there were some who did not fail to point out that some of the members of the house of J. P. Morgan & Co. of New York feel consid- erably encouraged as they contemplate the business outlook
 This difference in view of men who are closely associated in business affairs is one of the paradoxes of the present day to which Sir Felix Schuster referred in a recent address to the directors of a great joint stock bank of London. Mr. Stotesbury, in order to emphasize or prove his statement, referred to condi- tions now prevailing in one of the great industries of Philadelphia, as it is also one of the great industries of the United States. No doubt he had also in mind the falling off in railroad revenues, cer- tainly of the railroad companies with which he is associated. He has also inti- mate acquaintance with the steel indus try of the United States. Undoubtedly he based, in part, his statement upon conditions which prevail in that indus try. These conditions were reflected by the recent action of the United States Steel corporation in passing it's common dividend.
 Another Point of View
 Yet at the time MT. Stotesbury was speaking the Pennsylvania Railroad com pany was negotiating the sale of s49, ,000,- 600 in bonds. The New York Central Rail- road company had about perfected plans for the marketing of probably $100000 GOO of bonds The Illinois Central, which was the first railroad in the United States to receive a national land grant was mar keting S100O0,000 in bonds, and there were

 For sometime Limestone county has had a fine government system of dipping vats for cattle and as a result, 1t is said, the Limestone cattle are free from ticks.

of the rooms bespoke the industry
and excellent taste of the com.

President j. E. Turner, of the
board of education, in we'll chosen
words for the occasion addressed
the visitors in behalf of the schools,
assuring the patrons of the value
OF cooperation and the benefit de-

are so many who have contributed
to make the evening enjoyable
that it would require a roster of
the Woman's club to do them
justice. We are sure everyone
was appreciated and the guests of
the club trust that the Woman's
club will give them other oppor-
