State Prosperous, Says w. n. Hatton.
conditions are better in Wisconsin
than In any other part of the country"
said former Senator w. H. Hatton Of
New London. II have recently been in
different parts of the country and am
glad to be able to say that Wisconsin
Is far ahead of other states.
II returned from a business trip
through the South, where conditions
are bad. The low price of cotton put a
big crimp in every line Of business In
the South and East, and with the iron
and lumber industry practically at a
standstill, many Of the largest manu-
featuring plants idle for weeks if not
months, there has been a great deal Of
suffering.
Here in Wisconsin potatoes were
low. but everything else brought
good price. Most Of the manufacturing
plants have continued in operation, al
though In some instances on shorter
hours.
However, I find merchants, manu-
facturers and bankers generally are
optimistic over the prospects for an
early revival of business. It appears
to be the general impression every
where that the worst Is over and that
with the opening of spring there will
be big boom in business of every
line"
