MORE HOPEFUL VIEW
OF WESTERN BUSINESS
Statistics Fail to Show Any
Such Declines as Have Been
Pointed Out

Chicago. May 1O.-Taking current
statistics as n basis for the condition
OF business in this country, il NAV be
found that thcre is not nearly as much
decrnc IN the situation ns some oh d.
servers have pointed out. To be sure.
mere and there. there are weak spots.
due to the extraordinary situation which
has prevailed not only because of the
war, but as result of the many OK
lsenclcs which the war brought about
ana the uncertainties which hnvc prc
Sillcd since the arnisticc was signed
Much talk is current concerning the
labor situation. but it is found that
there is enough business generally 10
take up nearly oil the labor and favor
hoie lnnuencc in that connection is
that prices and wages are being main
tanned substantially in nearly all diror
tiOns.
WINE 1t is the conviction of tho pub
ne generally that business should de
cIinc because of the great Curtailment in
inc requirements of the government. an
other side OF tho situation seems TO in 81

'ion maintains its present attitude 70

there need bc no fear TINT tborc vii,
d" great downward movement in trade
activity.
In tho iron and steel trade it is
round that in some lines there is an
increased demand. but there docs not
appear to be much enthusiasm in that
u'r"cuon at present and until the pro
ducers and the government reach sat
lsiactory price basis there will doubt
less bc continuation of tho present
inactivity. On tho other hand. il is
generally believed that this question
VIII soon b" settled and everybody feels
that there is an cra of prosperity ahead
no matter what tho present Influences
arc.
In tho dry goods trade wholesale
business does not keep apuce with u
year ago, although buyers from the in :
terror are making increased demands
for many sections. This is being re
tlccted through the retail market in q
substantial way and collections have
been easy up to the present moment
The speculation in stocks and grain
has not served to raise money rates
and in spite of the fact that tho pub e
lie is setting a rapid pace in specula .
tion there has been some shading of
rates in certain localities. Tho mar
kct for commercial papers is a trihc
easier than heretofore and sales have
been made at , per cent on paper carry
ing substantial names.
Traffic on western railroads continues
about the same as of recent weeks,
holding its own fairly well. There is
still reason for anxiety respecting
the finances of the railroads inasmuch
as they are running behind at rate
which forecast an extremely large def
cit this year. aud there seems to be no
remedy in the situation at present OK

those r.hich prevail.
