BUSINESS QUIET,
BUT HOPE SHOWN
National City Bank Declares
Country Must Face Grad
a ual Readjustments

The general trend of business and
industry during the month Of June
has been quiet and repressed. says
the July letter of the National City
Bank of New York. Some further
hopeful signs have appeared, side by
side with others which give less en-
couragement.
The plain truth of the thing is that
the recovery of business. for which
everybody has been hoping and wait
ing since the depression began late
last year has not yet materialized.
No ones interests will be ~furthered
by an ostrich-like attitude which
burries Its head in undue optimism.
and makes glowing predictions for
the immediate future, predicted
wholly on a magnifying Of the favor
able symptoms. 1t is easy enough,
and pleasant enough. to lull anxiety
by such a process of reasoning. but
what is wanted DIV is a general rea-
lization Of the obstacles that must be
met and overcome, more than a light
hearted prevalence of optimism
founded only on half truths.
On the other hand an attitude of
unwarranted pessimism can be just
as harmful, II not even more SO. We
know that our banking system Is in
trinsically sound, and that 1t has al
ready proven its ~capability to with
stand the shock of a period of extra
ordinary strain, and to emerge un-
scathed from the most difficult test
imposed in many years. We know
that our ability, as a nation, to pro-
duce the raw materials which our
people need, and which the world
must buy from us, has been in no
wise dwarfed. We know finally. that
our Industrial and business organi-
zation is geared for production not
only ample for u own needs. but on
sufficiently large proportions to make
export on a considerable scale a vital
necessity.
These are fundamental facts, so
plain that they cannot be misinter-
preted. 1t is hard to understand
how, knowing the foundation upon
which our business life rests to be as
rigidly secure as 1t is, there can be
any doubt as to the final recovery. 1t
is progressing no more laggardly now
than in 1903 and 1904, when we were
passing through a somewhat similar
period, or in 1907 and 1908.
Recovery is certain to be slow.

OUTLAWS, BUSY
ON OLD CURB

New York, July 4.-Nevada and
Utah mining stocks are principal fea-
lures I'm the trading Of both the 'fn-
side" and outside" curb markets.
since the majority Of the old curb
brokers moved into their new two
and one-half million dollar building
at Trinity Place.
The Outlaws" who refused to
leave the old curb on Broad street
and move into the new stone palace,
continue to hold forth in the open
air and, contrary to predictions made
several months ago, they are doing
an immense business in what they
term the only free market in New
York City"
Following the policy Of the old
curb they are especially featuring
Far Western mining and oil stocks
and while these are also being traded
in largely by the inside" curb in its
new building. the outlaws" clearly
have a larger trading list Of these
particular issues.
More Nevada stocks r now being
called and sold on the outside" curb
than in Trinity Place. which has not
yet listed some Of the newer Far
Western issues.

mist makes his mistake Is that. SELF
ing upon a few favorable but quite
natural events, he seeks to make
them the basis of predictions that the
final turn in the road has come. and
that next week, or next month. the
difficulties into which business and
industry have fallen will have light
ly drifted away.
It is primarily q question Of ad-
justment between the various COM
ponent parts in our economic struc-
ture. AS have been pointed out in
these pages before. a great portion
of the population-particularly that
portion concerned with the produc-
ton of agricultural commodities
has had its purchasing power bisect-
ed by the drop in commodity prices.
Finished products have shown no
such decline. The result has been
that that portion of the population
which has had its purchasing power
reduced by two is buying only half
as much of these products which have
not declined materially in price. In
dustrial stagnation and unemploy-
ment has been the inevitable conse-
quence.

About one-half minute IL required to

made in about four minutes, or at
the rate Of about thirty miles per
hour. The immense winding drum.
made in the form Of q double-ended
cone, is thirty feet In diameter over
the fiattened center section, and six
