Then his eyes went muddy. as if he
had lost his grip on the inchoate
thought. This was followed by the
plaiptiYe, querulOus expression as the
idea persisted and he clutched it anew.
He looked at me and at the river and
the far shore. He tried to speak. but
had no sounds with which to express
the idea. The result was a gibberish
that made me laugh. This angered
him. and he grabbed me suddenly and

fought, and in the end chased him up

BUSINESS
CLINGS TO OPTIMISM
Recognizes Disturbing Charac-
ter Of Events, But Finds No
Cause for Pessimism.

American business IL willing to recog-
nixe the disturbing character OF events
of the last week. but II sees no reason
why 1t should be disturbed. Such is
the opinion OF the financial editors Of
New York as voiced In their columns to-
day.
Amy news is good news" seems to be
the idea now, and commercial as we'll
as financial circles seem imbued with
the idea that nothing can shake the
foundation OF the present condition OF
prosperity.
The sinking of two ships. the Ameri-
can expedition into Mexico, the battle
OF Verdun-all are noted but none ID
construed as basis for pesslmism.
Says the New York Times regarding
the general situation in the, com.
mercial world:
In the infrequent intervals of COM
parative dullness which attend the
present business activity, the minds
of some are apt to turn to specula-
tive concern. A continuance OF ris-
ing costs. such as has been wit
messed for months, Is viewed with a
, certain amount Of disquiet. II Ia felt
that. sooner or later, there must
come limit beyond which prices
cannot 20. The matter that IL In
doubt Is what Is to be the limit As
things are now, in all the lines OF
things to wear. supplies are In ac-
tive request by the iobbers and
wholesalers and by those who make
up cloths and other materials into
the finished products. But back of
these are the retailers, and behind
the latter is the great consuming
public with needs that are the more
urgent because until recently there
has been no disposition to meet
them. Successive price increases
have served to stimulate rather
than to curtail. purchases, and the
permanence OF the mood IL inferred
from the fact that the demands
and orders look to deliveries a year
ahead. What looks to some like
speculation appeals to others as
merely a return to normal. after n
long period of snbnormal, buying.
In the primary markets the dispo-
sition Is not to make commitments
too far ahead, but would-be pur-
chasers are the ones urging for such
contracts. The general disposition
Is to be cautious.
