BUSINESS OVER COUNTRY
SOUND, SURVEY SHOWS

st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. s. The condi-
ton OF business in the United States
Is basically sound, and fear for the
welfare of commercial America is
due principally to a state of mind
a natural consequence of the war;.
This is the gist of the results of an
survey conducted by the
mississippi Valley association and
tonight. Out of 5000 ques-
sent to the 81 states in the
valley" 1900 replies were received.
The underlying thought in the an
swers is that the business depression
Is caused by the consequent and ne
cessary deflation of the initiation"
and the demand for lower living costs.
This condition was augmented, num-
erous replies stated, by an era of ex-
travagance in buying, without con-
sideratlon for the future.
