Lynch Finds Optimism
Prevailing through
The Eastern Markets

Mr. Jack Lynch has returned from
a trip to eastern markets, where b,
plaead same large orders for The
Schaller department store. Mis-:
MulholIand, who was also east al The
same time to replenish the stock il
the ladies' departments has likeWisf
returned.
Answering query. by a representa-
tive Of the Saturday News. Mr.. Lynch
said that optimisn1 generally prevails
among the business institutions OF
the east. This isl particularly the
case when they refer to the bonnti.
full crops that the western regions are
reporting.
Stimulating Effect.
The impetus given the industries
that produce war materials and such
products as are essential to maintain
Ia war, thought Mr. Lynch, has served
as stimulus all along the line not
that other channels have felt any
special stimulating impulse of them
tions, but rather that the tremendous
actiFities in those channels which
supply war materials have kept up
confidence in the ultimate restoration
OF the economic eqnalibrinm.
Timidity Still Apparent.
1t is Mr.. Lynch's view that while
the outlook is optimistic, especially
IL, viary6S ~ tha ~, q rnix;onn+ I,or4x,r,,
crops, il is apparent that there is
some degree of timidity on the part
of capital to extend and diversity it,
self pending the outcome of the pres;
ent situation, and particularly the Eu-
ropean situation, and the result is
that, outside of those enterprises
which the war has directly affected,
there is still an element Of stagna-
ton.
Dye Situation Serious.
Tone of the serious situations per-
tains to dyes 1t is really no stand
ing joke Take, for instance, textile
fabrics in colors.. There are certain
colors that we can buy at prices
which we're prevailing before the war
began, but in the Ilavy blue and the
black we are compelled to pay a per-
ceptibly higher price, owing to the
fact that it is difficult to secure these
dyes for such colors.

Then, again. went on Mr.. Lynch,
certain goods have been declaredi
contraband of war cotton, for in-|
stance. This fact, in connection with
the difficulty in procuring dyes, hasl
become factor in the textile mar

But, nevertheless, there is conf
dence that ultimately prosperity will

will be Of such substantial character
as to make us forget our temporary
inconvenience"
Sentiment Opposed to War.
Referring to the strained relationsl
with Germany, Mr. Lynch says there
is an obvious sentiment prevailing
throughout the east adverse to any
drastic action that will lead the Unit
ed Stated into the mud die. The east,
says Mr.. Lynch, is radically opposed
to Uncle Sann's getting into the war

that we shall not become involved, |
