BUSINESS NORMALLY
EXPECTED in JUNE
v, 3. Morrow Says Conditions In North
Are Slowly Adjusting Themselves.

Business conditions in the north
ere slowly adjusting themselves, but
the best opinion of financial and in
dustr!al leaders is that nothing even
approaching normalcy can be expect
ed until after June l." said J. B. Nor
row. industrial commissioner, who re-
turned yesterday from four weeks
tour through eastern and northern
cities.
Generally speaking, there is spirit
OF optimism among brokers and bust
ness men, but return to normal condi-
fions, according to these authorities, is
slow
TN Washington, everybody seems to
be running around in circles. There
seems to be anything but a working
ARRANGEMENT of the administration
forces with congress, to the end that
real accomplishment in stabilizing
business conditions through necessary
governmental agencies is not possible.
THE sessions OF the river and har-
Dor congress were enlivening and it
was my good fortune to be selected as
q member of the resolution committee,
which, in the opinion or the delegates,
drew up the best set of resolutions
adopted by the river and harbor con-
gress in some years.
TN my journey I visited Washing
tTon, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New
York, Buffalo, Toledo, Detroit. st.
Louis. Chicago, Cincinnati. Louisville
and Montgomery and am happy to
say that some splendid connections
were made at some of these points.
Especially in New York, / found
; the shipping interests in a very re-
/ ceptive mood and was able TO start
negotiations which I feel soon will re-
suit in the enlargement of our shipping
interests here.
"At Buffalo, opened negotiations
with people who can benefit by deal
ing in the market, and at the instance
OF Senator HILL have been asked to
address. sometime in May, the Cham
her of Commerce at Buffalo on the OPP
portunlties OF Pensacola and her tribu-
tary territory. IL the invitation is ac-
cepted similar addresses will be made
ut Rochester and other New York
cities through the agency of Senator
Hill.
4 AT Detroit, arranged with several
capitalists TO visit Pensacola and look
into her resources. One gentleman in
particular is very much impressed and
will come here in April to look over
the situation. Another gentleman re-
Gently purchased 5000 acres OF Es-
Gambia county land and viii colonize
this acreage. He expects to come to
Pensacola shortly and perfect details,
and desires TO bring only good farmers
to this section who can and viii de-
volop the land.
AT all points there seemed to be a
desire to learn about the south and II
Is my firm belief that we are now
ready to begin an intensive advertis-
ing campaign in these cities, which
viii result in much good and assist
materially In our development pro-
gram.
Pensacola is making friends and
making them fast. 1t only needs now
the active support Of all Of our people
90 capitalize the work of the Chamber
OF Commerce during the past year.
The ground work Is we'll laid and we
can share in the general revival which
is approaching by putting our shoul-
ders to the wheel and pushing.
Especially heartening is the en-
couragement offered by shipping lines
and the possibility OF charging this
vital factor in our commercial life.
The very fact that there Is a chaotic
and uncertain state Of affairs in mari
time circles; the fact that shipping in
terests are casting about now for
proper connections. so as TO be firmly
entrenched when the revival of foreign
trade and shipping comes, makes 1t
incumbent TO give every aid TO ship
ping lines with whom negotiations
have been started.
AS a representative OF a leading
shipping concern aptly put It, we will
come to Pensacola, IL your people show
an inclination to support US. and will
stand by u.s. This concern, by the
way, is amply financed and can carry
out any agreement made to provide
ship lines out OF Pensacola"
