Dor troubles, nor the unsettling effects
basis unmitakably exists for the state
ment that the scope of the recovery Is
widening. While uniformity Of i'm.

natural concomitant Of commercial re.
cuperation. and its. absence now would
be surprising. The maintenance Of a
conservative policy in many quarters

rience Of the last two years. than a rep
itition of unwholesome imitation. and
prudent action at this time affords a
solid foundation for subsequent pro-

ened. rather than lessened. is evidenced
by the tenor Of dispatches from diff
ferent sections of the country, and
gains in actual transactions have ex-
ceeded expectations in some important
industries.
