Getting Away From II

"It sometimes pays to get long way
from the market and its influences in
order to obtain a clear view Of the real
situation" said member Of one Of the
large banking firms yesterday. "For a
month buried myself deep In the Maine
woods, and in nearly three weeks did
not know there was even market in
existence. The woods were full OF
game and the streams full Of fish, and
II ever a man got back to nature | did.
1t not only did me heaps Of good from
health standpoint, but when | came
back on Tuesday l do not exaggerate
when ! say l was able to take n clearer
view of the outlook than at any time
in the last two years.
I'm making casual examination,
am convinced the real corner has been
turned. In all events. from the data
We have at hand, the general situation
is much more improved than is generally
realized. At least, we have many rea =
sons for believing that virtually all the
more serious sore spots are now cleaned
up. OF course. numerous small and
irritating details remain to be worked
out. but the situation Is well in hand, In
fact, under better control than since the
reconstruction was started. This means
n whole lot, because it paves the way
for the carrying out of certain plans
and programs which were necessarily
held in allegiance until the results of
the major operations we're known"

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

The spectacular upturn in cotton the
last two weeks, judging from the line
OF talk being put out on the street the
last few days, is likely to prove the
long sought panacee for all the ills
OF the business situation. Among the
many things 1t is expected to do Is put
the entire Southland solidly on its feet
again. No. doubt 1t Is going to help n
lot, In so far as extricating the over
loaned position of many of the Southern
banks. 1t is also expected to rejuven-
ate the fertilizer industry and start all
these companies on q new road toward
prosperity. The mail order concerns are
likewise booked as one of the benefiting
parties, for the planters are expected
to tumble over one another to buy the
things which they could not possibly
afford to do when cotton was selling
nearly ten cents lower. The next thing
to expect is n big rush Of buying orders
for the automobile companies.
It only goes to show what n little
thing is required TO completely turn
around speculative sentiment. The
question still to be honestly answered
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1921-09-09

order to determine the real temper Of
the speculating public.
The movement was prompted not so
much to obtain following as it was TO
discover the mood of the public In the
face Of a rising market. The success
full carrying out Of the plan, of course,
was due almost solely to the over
extended short account. The upturn
was inaugurated at the psychological
moment and the results were entirely
satisfactory. The same authority ex-
midway between the recent high level
and the low mark of the year. "Some
time in the near future" he said. "the
real forward swing would be started"

Corner Turned I'm the South

Following the meeting Of the direc
tors of the Southern Railway, Presi-
dent Harrison, discussing the outlook
for the South and the general effect OF
rapid rise In cotton ~rices, said:
"As to the situation in the South,
there is every indication the corner
has been turned, advance in cotton was
the breath Of wind for which Southern
States have been waiting. It has been
true in the past that good cotton prices
affect all industries and increases buy
ing power which means improved busi-
ness. Goods purchased by the South
will mean better earnings for the roads.
Improvement will. of course, be grad
ual, but much is gained when sentiment
changes.
"All of our roads showed better rev.
enues In August than in any month
since December, 1920.
"Our power is all in excellent con.

Had the Municipal Architects office
attempted TO handle the entire pro.
gram through a mistaken idea OF
economy. or because OF a feeling OF
selflmportance and self-sufficiency
there would have been a real delay
tenfold in magnitude TO the minor
delays which have naturally arisen
in so many building enterprises car
ried on under present economic con
ditions.
''It appears that the work on those
projects entrusted to private archi.
tects. and on those projects handled
in the Municipal Architects office,
has been prosecuted with good :udg
ment and diligence in spite OF the
handicap OF an insufficient office

office. and the long hours of over
time imposed upon that meager
force during the past six months.

Rivals.

Gilbert X. Chesterton said the 9th
er day in New York:
81 am sick of the great horde OF
free verse poets that has sprung up
among us. These little wretches grind
out few hundred words Of silly twad-
die that is without rhyme and with
out reason, and then they think them
selves the superiors Of Swinburne.
"At the Greenwich village; tea yes
terday a scrawny little free verse poet
said:
I'm awfully sorry D'Annunzio
has capitulated, you know
care you?' asked an old maid in
sandals. 'Whyr"
Notwithstanding our already over
crowded market said the poet, that
duffer is sure to start writing poetry
again."
