CAR LINES REPORT
SHOWS HEAVY LOSSES

Operation Of bus lines in Wash

reduction OF passengers on the cars
OF the Washington Railway and

Reports to the Public Utilities
Commission show that for the eight
months ending August 81. the w.

A decrease Of 1855 900 passengers
is given for the Traction company
for a nine months period ending
September 80.
During the first eight months
Of 1922 the w. r. & f. earned n
return Of 424 per cent on their
investment, compared with 6.45 last
year. The Traction company's re.
turn for nine months this year is
1922 compared with 1923 last year.
Operation of one-man cars by the
w. r. & K. reduced operating ex-
penses considerably. it is said,
However. the reduction in expenses
was not sufficient to offset the

Conditions That Lead
to Optimism.
BY GEORGE FRANKLIN.

~ OASoAeoD
Commercial prospects in Wash
ington for 1923 reflect optimism's
encouraging tint. With the grad
ual improvement Of business con-
ditions during the closing months
ef 1922. on which to base the
prophecy, Washington merchants
express the belief that the New
Year will usher in a period of
local prosperity unapproached by
anything in the experience of the
past few years.
Healthy Trend Seen.
Apparently the high cost Of living
10 being successfully assailed by the
law of supply and demand. This
10 seen in a lower manufacturers
price representing cost of 25
per cent in some instances. Cash
buying Is also more common. with
q corresponding lessening of apph.
cations for credit. All Of these
signs are interpreted by local mer-
chants as indicating healthy
trend while the feeling is general
among them that a new era of
prosperity will dawn with the ad.
vent of 1923.
"The thrift spirit shown by con-
sumers Is the secret OF the return.
ing prosperity" said General Anton
Stephan, president Of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association. in
discussing local business conditions
today.
More Cash Buyers.
"It 10 the thrifty dollar that
spells success for merchants and
for individuals. One Of he sur
prises of the past month has been
the notable increase in the number
OF cash retail buyers. Credit and
charge accounts are being requested
by fewer buyers than at any time
within the past five Or six years.
This can have but one interpreta.
ton. People have more money and

thrifty In their habits than during

gan saving consistently a year ago.
Savings Accounts Increase.
THE fact that the spirit of
