speaking on the subject Business in
1890" Mr.. Mariani went into detail
explaining the stringent business sit
uation that confronts the country at
present, and said that 1920 was a
year in which business men should
be extremely careful, and urged mer-

a reasonable level and avoid over
loading, so as not to be caught with
long stocks when the market takes
the long looked for drop.
