TIME general feeling in business
circles is one of Strengthening
confidence that the corner has
been turned and that 1922 will be
better year than 1921. The improve
merit IN fundamental conditions and
IN general feeling since the first OF
the wear has been very marked; in
deed, from the middle of January to
the rrst of March optimism was
perhaps ver-pronounced, and
moderate reaction in some lines has
naturally resulted.
The stock market, which is
prompt TO reflect and even anticipate
changes in fundamental conditions,
has been creeping upward for the
last six months in slow but per-
slstent movement which suggests
faith that better days are coming.
Railroad traffic. as indicated by
the reports of car-loadings since the
first OF the year, have been running
ahead OF last year, although Janu-
AIRY gross earnings were about 10
per cent. below those of the same
month OF 1921 On the other hand

S28.33l $50 in January, 1921, which
rejects the reduction in operating
expenses.
Trading in all lines is on short
osdet basis. foae;Cr buyers wish
to avoid the risks Of exchange
fluctuations so Jar as possible, And
i'll the domestic trade there is a pros
pect that in some lines. particu-
larly clothing and textiles, prices
may be lower. There is general
agreement, however, that both at
home and abroad stocks have been
worked down 10 the minimum and
that there must be constant buying
TO meet the demands for current
consumption. This is one respect
in which the situation is decidedly
more favorable than it was in the
latter part OF 1920 and throughout
most of 1921.
The steel industry has made
marked recovery, the United States
Steel Corporation now operating at
about 20 per cent. of capacity and
the independent companies in the
aggregate at probably 90 per cent.
When II is considered that produc-
ton capacity has increased about
50 per cent. since before the war, it
VIII be seen that this is far from
state of stagnation
The implement industry, although
still TAR from normal. is much better
than at this time last year, and that
is the case also with the automobile
industry, and even more so with the
building industry The figures for
the latter are quite remarkable, per
mits in l6l cities aggregating
