In sad but loving remembrance of our dear
father, Nicholas Columbus Burroughs, who
departed this life two years ago, January
5th. 1919.
We can not understand why we had to
part
From father we loved so dear.
But God. who doeth all things well.
viii some day make it clear.
1t was an early morning hour,
Two years ago to-day.
The angel Of death came down to earth
And bore our darling father away.
So we will try to still our heartache
And do our best to smile,
For God will let us 60 to him
After little while.
Your dear, sweet face is always with u.s.
Your dear. sweet smiles are too.
You can not come to us. dear father,
But some day we will come to you.
By his son Bonnie and
daughter-in-law Alice.

BUSINESS FAILURES JUMP

Increase Over Short Week.

NEW YORK, October 22.-Commer-
cial failures this, week took an up
ward jump compared to last week.
which, however, contained a holiday.
Despite this the increase in the num-
ber of failures appears fairly large.
Bradstreet's report ass failures for
the week ended October 20. against
37S last week. and 249 in the CORE
spending week last year. T.. q. Dun
& Co. place the number at 4o7. com.
pared to 375 for tte Ave days OF lsst
week The Credit Guide reports 4O1,
against 31s last week.
This authority's analysis of failures
shows jump of SO per cent In the
number in New York alone. and the
highest number. seVenty-thrSe, re-
ported for the city in several months.
There also appears to be greater
number of manufacturers shutting
down for lack of capital than hereto
fore" says the Credit Guide. There
were twenty-seven more failures
among manufacturers this week than
last week.
"Of the failures this week the wear
ing apparel and dry goods lines con-
tributed 40 per cent of the total
, which is the largest number Of fail
ures in this industry of any week
during the year. Last week this
group supplied 39H per cent of the
total and the week before 421a per
cent"
The average indebtedness this week
was estimated at $4,000. against $26,-
500 last week, while last year in the
corresponding week 1t was $4,000.

BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK. October 22.-The Wall
street movement this week has been
a contest between two opposing views
Of the business outlook. In which the
side of optimism has had decided
advantage. Those who are skeptical
regarding the future do not dispute
that there have been many signs of
turn during the last two months.
They cannot ignore the five success
sive advances in crude oil prices. the
increase from less than 80 to well
over 40 per cent in steel production
and the operation of the textile mills
at full capacity. These mills q year
ago were shut down.
They attempt to maintain. however
that all this is q recovery of a transit
tory sort. and that no sustained i'm
provement can be looked for while
!. things in Europe are so bad They
stress the slackness of the export
trade and the handicaps which Ameri-
can firms are under when competing
against the British. who are assisted
by the powerful support Of govern
ment credit. and against the Germans
"uo dI puJiHS their laDOr ana sup
plies in a vastly deprecated cur
rency.
To what extent are these latter
opinions held throughout the bust
ness and financial communities? The
writer believes, from all that he can
gather and observe. that they are tn
views of small and constant
dwindling minority. and that tn
greatly predominant sentiment was
fairly expressed in the stock market
of the past week, which has resulted
in the rout of the Wall street bear"
party and the complete discrediting
of much of the propaganda upon
which this party has depended. The
majority attitude. replying to the
pessimists. takes its stand on the
ground, first, of the restoration of a
thoroughly sound credit position
with the entire imitation of the last
three years in loans and note issues
serve ratio back to where 1t stood In
1917. Secondly. 1t maintains that in
| all periods of depression overpro-
duction accompanying inflated prices
has been the essential cause. The
i turn is reached they assert when
surplus stocks in the hands of mer-
chants and manufacturers have been
worked off, when inventory losses
have been fully absorbed. and when
an equation has been achieved be-
tween supply and demand.
Solid Basis for Recovery.
This stage was unauestionably ar
rived at last July. The recovery oc-
curing since then has been a real

TRADE CONDITIONS.
NEW YORK, October 22.-Dun

NEW YORK, October 22.-Dun'S re-
view OF trade conditions says: =.
THE possibility of a widespread
..ailroad strike was not without tnfiu-
.nce on business this week, but
caused no conspicuous disturbance.
Belief that a walkout would be avert
d was strengthened as action toward
hat end was taken. and early unset
.lemenr arising from the threatened
rouble was mainly confined to specu-
alive markets.
while requests to expedite ship
tents of goods under order were
-iade In some Instances. there was
general anxiety regarding supplies
merchandise, and forward demands
ere not appreciabiy affected. The
rospect Of lower freight rates is en-
ring into calculations. but the dis
osition to defer commitments pend
ig developments in this connection
manifest in comparatively few'
arters. Despite the existing uncer-
:inties and retarding factors. the
,mmercial revival Is making grad
al progress, and the slowly rising
end Of production continues in evi-
ence."
